Was good speaking to you today out in the black CMDR. Stay safe, and try not going COMPLETELY insane out there.

Thanks Cmdr. My apologies for not mentioning you in my post from last night. I usually do if I have a conversation with one of my fellow explorers...maybe I'm going a little bonkers

Hopefully see you when you get closer to BP.

I forgot to mention in last night's post...almost had to call the Fuel Rats.

I jumped into a field of unscoopables so looked at my next jump. I thought it was to an M-type scoopable so off I jumped. When I get there it was a bloody brown dwarf...<expletive deleted>...and I am SURROUNDED by unscoopables. <more expletives deleted>

I had about 10% fuel tank and all the nearest stars that I could reached were the deep reddish brown colour. I started to panic fumbling on the gal map keys hoping desperately for some scoopable star that didn't have a dotted line leading to it.

Finally I noticed it. Right behind me, maybe 5LY back the way I had come was a beautiful little F-type...most beautiful star I have ever seen!

Certainly got the heart racing!

Now I know that there are some dare-devil fuel rats who would be happy to come the 55KLY to rescue me but it would just be a wee bit embarrassing...

Good to chat with you earlier, it has been a lonely trip along the outer spiral arm. I know how it feels to find that one scoopable star in range, happened to me in a T9 coming back from Sothis some months ago. Hope you get close to Beagle Point, that's where I'm heading so may see you on the way back.

CMDR Frawd, I had no Idea it was you... I mean I had heard that a madman was trying to do this but I've seen your posts and you seem quite sane! I guess posts can be deceiving...

I haven't subscribed to any threads until now. I shall have a full read of this tomorrow instead of doing any work!

Good luck and fly safe, mad Aussie B

I doubt I will make it to BP with my pathetic 21.47LY jump range. I am planning on meeting up with a few cmdrs to try gathering jumponium components...but this will require me to use my cargo scoop and fly at the mat. Somewhat dangerous, especially in a shieldless sidey...

Still I will get as close as I can to BP...nice meeting you out in the black.

I truly wish I could scoop you and fix that beautiful ship for you. Better still give you my J3

Thanks Cmdr....but my ship doesn't need a clean
A couple of extra slots for a shield generator and srv would be nice though...nah, but what fun would that be?

A box of frogs in a sack then filled up with badgers?

I pity the frogs...unless of course they are poison dart frogs in which case I pity the badgers...

Fortunately there is not enough room in my sidey for any of these scenarios...although they might make a tastier meal than my usual recycled fair (unless of course they're poison dart frogs)

How's the jumping going? Still having no trouble with the star density? I've noticed that I was hitting more clumps of unscoopables along the bottom of the arm so have moved towards the centre a bit.

There is a layer of unscoopables that I was flying beneath for a while, but then the layer started dipping down to my level, so now I have moved above it...otherwise the density is fine at the moment, about 19KLY from BP

How close are you? (I see from your thread you are about 9KLY)
