I dipped my toe back into the canyon run/crater diving pond today.

Didn't actually do any of the fun stuff but headed down to the surface of a planet...turned out to be a 2.06G planet and boy the Grass Hopper II felt sluggish...got scared so left.

I can't be far away now. I'll have a look and check the distances and see if we can do a meeting.

 

[Traveller_GG]

I'm about 20KLY now and basically heading straight towards you

Well.... sort of. Shinies.

 

[Mithrasyn]

I must say. Your resolve is impressive Commander. Sidewinder as so small a home so far away in the black. Good luck with the expedition. I hope we can meet in person at Beagle Point when I, hopefully barring any misshaps, arrive with Distant Worlds Expedition.

I will fly a Cobra MkIII so cheers to all small ships at the far rim.

Currently 1497ly away from CHREA NY-Q C21-349. Could be there on the 2nd.

 

[Cmdr Frawd Digger]

Hi Cmdr...yup I will probably end up there today at the end of my play session (1/1) or early in my play session tomorrow (2/1). I am generally on about 12.30pm GMT to 3.30pm GMT (actually 8.30pm +8GMT to 11.30pm +8GMT...Perth Australia)...does this match up at all with you game sessions?

[Roqinn]

Looks like you're moving faster than I am! I am currently 39,384LY from Beagle Point. I thought it was along haul to Sag A*. Out to the Point is twice as far as I have already gone! *Groans* Give me strength! LOL

Great job so far Frawd! Keep it up!

 

[Bartizan]

Man, you are cruising.

Actuallr cmdr you're about 1300ly closer to BP than I am. Mind you we could still be a long way from each other on an east-west axis.

Congrats to all of you out there in the Big Deep Galaxy!... on New Years Stuff!

I'm currently stuck doing bubble stuff... you know.,.. CGs.. Bounty Hunting, Trade... interacting with other CMDRs who aren't explorers....

...and I suck at it all!

In some ways, I can't wait to set off for my Fourth Great Expedition!.... but I promised myself to enjoy the bubble before setting off... but... is it really enjoyable?!... THAT IS THE QUESTION!

My youngest son created his version of my space ship...

Here is the Sidewinder Grass Hopper II as per Patrick:

He doesn't realise how accurate his rendition is...yes, a cardboard box (that's me and two of my sons in the cockpit)

If the incoming list ritual is completed possible sidewinder routes to become club members and have a lot of biscuits shal be thrown.

Seems OK to me. We were going to have a couple of days out in the new year but it depends on the weather. Its been pretty damp and miserable in Blighty. I'll try to make to "Digger's Demise" today and then it doesn't matter if you arrive today or tomorrow.
Will you be in open?

Have you seen DrKali and Erimus video of picking materials up without an SRV?
