Time for a New Trip into the Core!...

Touchdown at Jaques!....

Now to party with the Cartographers and have the ship re-painted!... :)
 
Had a Grand Old Time at Colonia.. sold off my Lavian Brandy and Hutton Mugs. Spent some time trading there, and avoided a bucketload of interceptions as Colonia descended into Civil Unrest....
Unfortunately, I did not get to meet the Great Blind Pew.. but still... it was all a success!

Now heading for home, AKA the Bubble. Comming up on Gagarin's Rest, where I will stop to sell my Jaques' Stills... and scan data..

On my way, I have seen great wonders of the galaxy, including two of the elusive Water Giants!... and this WW with a nice Ice Cap!

So.. having sold all my data at Gagarin Gate, I am now att 88% from Pioneer to Elite... Will I make Elite on my return to the bubble?... Will I go insane from inflated ego upon becoming elite?... Who knows?!
 
Flying Full Speed Bubblewards, stopping only to tag very valuable planets, and extra pretty gas giants, I decided to make a small detour to the Bubble Nebula to visit a system partially tagged by my favourite Elite Youtuber, I accidentaly stumble upon a system with traffic!.. I had totally forgotten there's a human presence in the Eagle Nebula these days...

So I land at Eagle's Landing to sell data and replenish my store of heatsinks that I lost because of a friend who telepresenced into my ship... I'm only 7k LYs from Sol now. Making distance in this Orca is exceptionally easy now with the new lightweight interior.

Obviously, I meant the Eagle Nebula in my last post... :)

So anyhow, my great hurrying home left me at 99% to Elite after selling off all the data... :D
So I made a small trip out to Maia, and scanned a few things on the way, (and made a valiant attempt to ram a Viper Pirate, but he got away..).. and finally made Elite at Obsidian Orbital!..

Elite:

This concludes the For the Mug Expedition.

Congrats! Now the Real challenge begins. How long will you last on the bubble!! I was in black for 6 months on SHEPARD and lasted 10 days before departing again. Departed yesterday for another long sojourn. Good luck and let us know how long you make it!
 
Nice job! It's been fun following along, this thread got me into following people's exploration logs. It's awesome to see what different things people find, and how they find similar things but interpret them differently
