My first ELW!

It's only 0.34 earth masses but hay, it's a start. Better than no ELW

Hey I have 28 on my current trip, and the feeling was pretty much the same for the 28th!
And I had 36 on the trip I just turned in....the only one that was like the first was the system that had 3 (more of a surprised disbelief feeling - then excited as I realized that there really were 3)
HYPIO PROO XE-Q E5-1454

First undiscovered ELW for me was an amazing feeling that the rest came close to - but the first is always the most memorable

Congrats Cmdr, my first one, i parked by it for an hour, and then spent the night there, a few thou Ls away that is lol
 
Congrats, CMDR!!! Did you fly to the dark side to see if there were any lights? I do that for every one I find.

And you found a nice looking ELW! Great cloud formation in the lower left side of the picture.
 
Grats! Make sure to do a detailed scan of all the land. Look for unique features and keep a log of it!

I did scan the land on the light side but didn't wait around for it to rotate too much...will have to go back and have a look when the darkside is lit.

There were some funky land forms. A couple of islands that had very smooth coastlines - didn't look natural so I wonder if it is a bit of a glitch in the landmass-forming routine of FD...

Also some cool mountains right in the middle of a land mass, the ridges forming almost hexagons.

I will show more pics when I get a chance.

Sorry, I don't check there very often Traveller...I will make sure I do when I get back into the Astrolabe (tonight)

Now you guys are just showing off!! ;)

Hopefully I'll get a few more by the time I head back to the bubble.

The first ELW I ever met was untagged, about 1000LY from the bubble. I aborted the expedition and darted back to the closest station to be sure it got my name, lol, what a nonsense if i think of it now.

It's kind of why I blanked out the system name Cmdr Akira...I'm not planning on heading back into the bubble too soon and I don't want to give up first dibs on the world ;)
