I seem to have been taken over by wanderlust. I wasn't planning on getting too far from the bubble, but...I seem to be drawn to the center.
Right now I'm in the Hawking's Gap sector somewhere. I don't know why, I just wound up here.
I found a system with quite a few asteroid belts, and realized that I've never actually visited one. I've always heard they weren't worth looking at, and so I never have.
So I dropped into one, just out of curiosity. There were a few big asteroids, and I mean just a few. One of them glowed yellow when I pulsed the scanner -- it turned out to have some very nice surface deposits of Osmium

The other asteroids had low levels of low value ores.
Well, at least now I know the rumors were true

On the bright side, I also discovered a lovely uncharted Waterworld.

The galaxy is vast, and the more I explore, the more that sinks in. I like it.
Maybe it makes the troubles of the world seem smaller.
Or maybe I just like screenshots.
