After having dropped out of the game for a few months, I’ve decided to take my engagement with Elite into a new direction. I’ve sold a lot of my ships to buy an Orca, which I’ve kitted out as a deep space exploration vessel. The Marie Galante has passed the shakedown cruise with flying colours and if everything goes according to plan, I will leave for a six months long trip into the black later today.

The plan is to take off from Geston Port in PSPF-LF2, pick a direction across the galactic bulge from the Bubble and just keep going for as long as possible. The mission has been dubbed “Deep Space Exploration 1” (DSE-1) and should last until at least May 2018. If I don’t blow up before then. I’ll try to record relevant milestones and interesting discoveries along the journey and I aim to upload these as mission log videos.

Here's the first log entry:

Keep going! ...I love the short sharp delivery! Keep the format, as it adds to the realism of true exploration and the sound effects act as a form of "punctuation", which adds wonderful character to the pieces! Good job! ...so far! Looking forward to 6 more months of updates! ....REALLY! ...lol

I was thinking of getting back to "the bubble" for Xmas, but if you want some company, I'd be happy to meet you for sherry and mince pies at "Sag A", if you'd like the company?

I've been madly busy at work, who'd have thunk it... But now I'm back continuing the saga of this expedition!
