Day 1 by

So we have departed our adopted home system in Hajangai. After many months of mining a fleet carrier out of pure platinum, we are finally ready to head out into the black. (Not a second too soon as Prof Salvo prepares to blow up the bubble.)
It took two days to reach our first waypoint: A known tritium double hotspot overlap, but along the way...
Barnards Loop by

We passed the Barnard's Loop complex very early in the journey.
On the second morning, I had, with all good intentions, intended to run ahead of the carrier to identify the hotspot and choose a suitable parking place.

However, even on the journey, I was interrupted. An undiscovered (and rather cloudy) terraformable water world was one of a number of discoveries.

You have no idea how good it feels to be back out here in the black exploring once more.
Tritium Hotspot Overlap by

Find the hotspot overlap we did. Here is a tip: When parking the carrier for mining, always park it at the first moon, rather than in the gravity well of the planet. It's much quicker to travel to hotspots from here.

And to my surprise, not only had the moon not been scanned, no one had landed on it either. My name shall now be indelible in the annals of exploration.
We will be here for a couple of weeks while I refill the tanks with mined Tritium. I've made a start already.
Onwards ever, backwards never. See you in the black! o7
