Granted, the name is a bit of a mouthful, but bear with me for this one. I didn't name those arms of our galaxy after all.
I got my inspiration for this endeavor from reading up on the DSN Luxury Tour found here which had already started when I found the thread. Besides my work schedule kinda would have kept me from participating in it. Since I had recently bought a Beluga I thought, why not put it to use in exploration? Anaconda is nice, but a bit too sluggish for my liking. On that matter the Beluga is a nice change of pace although it lacks in jump range compared to the Anaconda.
So what is this endeavour about?
As the name suggests it involves two galactic arms - more precisely the area where the two arms become one. The idea is to get there and find some decent mining sites and bring the mined resources back.
I am going to turn the journey there into a separate thread written in the style of a story supplemented by some entries from the ship's log and maybe a few screenshots if I find something interesting along the way.
However, I am not going to use the neutron highway since I prefer not to intentionally damage my ship. By doing regular jumps the trip will take a long time and I am aware of that, but I also get to explore a significant number of systems - plus it is reasonable for passenger ships like a Beluga to not risk the lives of its passengers. Gives a bit of a cruise-feel to the whole operation.
For these reasons I don't think other people would be overly interested in this trip - other than maybe reading about it once the story-thread goes up in the roleplaying forum.
Feel free to let me know your opinions on this.
