The Dead End's Circumnavigation Expedition

I doubt I will make the launch - crook as, so can't see me getting up early :(
I'm there in spirit 07

I'll not be at any more of the base camps, will head off and try to get finished while the school holidays are on here and I have a bit of time on my hands.

Good luck to you all and fly safe from here on in, hope to be there at the finish line in October.

Once again a billion thanks to CMDR Johnny Frost for the hull repair the other day, I can now sail home in confidence rather than trepidation.

Lol, all these ships that have kinda blackish color and that single green one between them :D
 
Funny enough mine's chrome but space is dark, so it doesn't show up ;)

Plus most of the chrome wore off ians ago.

You should see Jackie's green Python when the pink thrusters kick in. A sight to behold!
 
My thoughts on landing and driving around the ships at the last BC were, "wow there are some seriously battered ships here" :)

I guess we're all at 0% paint.
 
Out of curiosity, was WP 33 difficult to get through to? I burned through a chunk of jumponium and just wondering if I approached it wrong and made a meal of it?

A few kylies out still, but it's looking like I'll need to plot in small chunks all the way and will need boosts for the last bit. OTOH I do only have a 40ly range...
 
I'm showing 20 premium, 22 std and 12 basic in the last couple of days. Admittedly I'm now getting *out* from the WP and heading across to the BC... And still boosting.
I don't mind, but it will be hilarious if someone goes "oh, head in from x direction and it's like 3 or 4 boosts" :D

WP33 is a mid point on one of Alitnil's routes across the gap. I didn't realise this until too late though as I went further south to where the gap was plotable and then went back out to it. My first attempt ended in failure, not enough jump range, but made it on my second attempt. There and back it took 32 premium, 8 std and 2 basic with my 53ly jump range for the second attempt.
