Penny stayed in Colonia a while. Sooo that was quite a trip.
Anyway now she lit out west, and figures to mosey on home along a couple of those galactic arms.
whoah!
But it's a pretty far way to go, so don't ever count out her untimely demise! WHOAH! Why does this anemone float! doom DOOM

Anemonem Antigravitas. They do that from time to time, to confuse explorers.
The mission is the gain influence for your faction as fast as possible. Fighting rando pirates that interdict you is not part of that mission!Where's the fun in that? Sometimes getting interdicted is the best way to pick a fight.
Excellent work!
I was out picking some leaves in my Dolphin and took this snap:
When I took the film to get developed, something struck me: how similar the nose end looks very much like a certain, famous bio-engineered xenomorph:

The good thing about Tubus if your graphics are up to it is that they can often be seen from the ship from a greater distance than their minimum sample separation which can make things even easier if they are close by a less visible bio type.
Being tall they can be relatively easy to spot if you fly low even with reduced graphics.
I love Dolphins, they yield heatsink making mats when destroyed.
Which is strange as they are the ship least likely, before the new drive, to carry heatsinks.
They are indeed visible from quite far away - I couldn't even make out the terrain between my position (close to the Osseus) and this slender line far away...
They don't need extra heatsinks because they have the biggest heatsink- to shipsize ratio of all ships available right now.
Those glowing hockeysticks on the sides are all radiator surface.
Yes but back before they were fixed Dolphins could overheat to damaging levels if you manoeuvred too hard when flying over a planets surface, now you can start a jump while fuel scooping in one and not come to any harm.
This is one reason why I love using the Dolphin for exploration/exobiology *. That and the fact that it can land in some tight spots, ideal for those hard-to-get-to samples.
* And now, with the carrier, I find I don't need long-range exploration ships so much - even though my Phantom has a most excellent jump range.
Wowsers.........some 19 million credit stratum.
Yeah, those (Stratum Tectonicas) and 10 MCr Frutexa Flammasis were the main course on my road to salad hunter Elite V.
These guys aren't bad either at 11.8 million, some major Clypeus mojoYeah, those (Stratum Tectonicas) and 10 MCr Frutexa Flammasis were the main course on my road to salad hunter Elite V.
That was way before my time... Sounds fun.
| I spy with MY little Dolphin, Colonia from 3kLY! Fading like a dream. Time to look forward. And I hope to make to the Zejoos this weekend. | "Ahhh, my Zejoos!" |
| Trip's gonna take a durn lotta fuel though. I forgot my fuel points credit card, though. But so long as stellar bodies provide, I've got my 4A magic wand | |

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
