After my last visit to Straha's planet I headed back to Colonia with a small detour to look at and survey a Nebula.
My T7 has done me well this last year on the journey from the bubble to Colonia and beyond but now was the time for a change and the Asp Explorer looked good. I had to canabalise my T7 for certain modules and hunt around the Colonia region for the rest to get a half decent build that would work. Finally, looking in outfitting I could see I had three paint jobs already available to me, my usual Stealth Black, and with no idea how I got them, Gold and Golden. I wanted a complete change so the shinier Golden was applied.
But now I need a trip to test it out, where could I go. I know, let's go and disturb Straha!
The shinier Aspx is more visible in the shadows than my old black T7.
Setting off for the mountains. Chassis looks good at 100%.
No room for me up there. I'd better find my own peak.
That's better, with Cmdr Straha in the distance.
After getting our bearings we decide on getting back onto Cmdr Straha's journey.
All's going well. Check the chassis again, hmm 84%, need to keep an eye on that.
Looks like I still have my shield on. This set up is still new and I've forgotten to turn a few modules off for this jaunt.
All was going well when suddenly my SRV went boom, those last few rocks were harder than they looked!
Luckily my escape pod took me straight to my ship in orbit.
After flying through the valley I emerged over the cliff (see Cmdr Straha's video) and landed behind my companians SRV.
With no spare SRV I have to watch Cmdr Straha Yeagar drive on alone.
Good luck on the journey, see you next time!
