Corbin -I noticed that Ultima Centauri is on your list of waypoints
When we were planning the Sagittarius-Carina Mission back in 3301 that system was originally chosen as the most eastern point of the route and also sort of a half way marker between Sol and Beagle Point. We did not know the contents of the system before setting out (and at the time no other interesting POIs in that region of space were known).
The contents of the system itself proved to be nothing out of the ordinary - though there is an ice planet with some nice terrain. But because of its modest content Ultima Centauri is sort of a symbol of the dogged determination required to travel the sparse regions of Sagittarius-Carina, and also of the exploration spirit to set out into the unknown.
A personal regret of mine from the days of the Sag-Car Mission is that we never made a meetup at Ultima Centauri - instead the participants visited it individually as they passed it. If you guys should manage to do a meetup there I would be happy for any images you could provide. I would like to add it to the GMP entry for that waypoint including a short description of the visit from your expedition.
Corbin -
We are in the Ultima Centauri region now....The EDSM body & coordinates are a bit dark however - so we are at a nearby system that features a number of ringed planets - plentiful materials (via 6-8 bodies with volcanic / geological sites) - and a nice pair of co-orbiting moons....Planning some planet-side relaxation- but if you had something specific in mind for UC pictures- I am sure we can set something up!
