Week 45:
Behind schedule, held together by a patina of dust on the outside, and things I don't even want to think about on the inside. Frame shift drive fizzles out almost as often as it actually engages, and, as the ancient song says, I still haven't found what I'm looking for - in fact, I don't even remember what I came looking for out here. I thought it was just to clear my head, test my pilot, and get away from all the busy comings and goings of 'civilized' space.
A massively ringed water world is most unusual to be sure.
Rings around gas giants are far more common, though this is a particularly nice looking gas giant.
Tiny islands on water worlds, not quite as uncommon as rings around water worlds, but still curious.
Gas giants harboring ammonia-based life - it's been a while since I've seen one.
Ringed gas giants with water-based life might be a bit more common, though still scenic.
That is just one big fumarole.
Neither an Earth-like world, nor a shallow water world, but a high-metal world.
Ice-capped water worlds are not particular uncommon, but I still feel drawn to them.
When you need to refuel in a hurry.
After splitting binary stars, something like this is rather inviting. Impressively though, nothing overheated while power-fueling.
I think I'll let Sai take over for a while. I need some time to clear my head.
