It seems that in this timeline, Han didn't even make it to Cloud City. Vader froze the entire Millennium Falcon crew on Hoth instead.
Good find.

Good find.
Only for goods and assets. Not data. I don't know why.I actually meant from station concourses but, reading between the lines, I guess not. Shame... I need loads of man. instructions
I thought I read somewhere that trading data for on-foot was going to be a thing for bartenders on stations...

"Commander, your orders?"
"Let's go... there!"
Make it so, Cmdr.
I think... this is the best angle I'm going to get here.
I've been on this planet for 27 hours, on and off. It is so rare that the bio and geo intersect it's not even funny. This is literally the second time I've been able to capture it in a screenshot. I've moved to sunrise at the equator, and you can see the westerly direction from my commander's shadow. There isn't any better lighting available, even though this particular bacterial puddle is barely 100m from a geyser. I think I am ready to move on.
Honestly, I'm happy that I have managed to get this kind of shot at all; I just wish it was with the sun on the horizon behind the geyser. That would have been so much sexier.
But it is what it is and I don't fancy spending the rest of my life here looking for the perfect alignment of features. I would rather get back into the black and look for another of these vanishingly rare instances where a planet has both bio and geo signals. Surely somewhere there is a 3x geo, 7x bio out there and it will be flipping glorious
(Also, it irks my inner exobiologist that the bacteria isn't clinging to all the volcanic vents. Everything I know says that is where all the good chemicals are coming from, and that there is probably a liquid ocean under the ice that is absolutely teeming with biology, and what's up here probably originated down there. But I guess Stellar Forge doesn't work that way
)

27 hours. On one planet. That's... Impressive. And thorough, I'd say.
That is an amazing picture - contrasting white geyser, white planet surface, white Dolphin and white suited commander against the dark inky blue sky.I think... this is the best angle I'm going to get here.

I chickened out yesterday and found a route out east to escape from the Abyss (see a couple of posts ago https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/what-are-you-up-to.442368/post-9823140). It was so difficult to find a route that lead anywhere in there. But now I have more of a sense of scale for the area of the Abyss I'm exploring, I'm going to "grow a pair" this morning and head back it. I've worked out I could do level 3 FSD injection all the way to Far Oasis:

and back out again if I had to. I might need to go in and out on the same route, as trying to go south once in the Abyss was proving impossible with a 70.5ly jump range.
Amazingly, every system in the Abyss I've visited has been discovered before and is a scoopable star.

Actual real time. About 3.5 of that was actively searching the surface, once I knew that there really was biology and geology down there. Only found two places where I could snapshot both in the same image they just don't like the same biomes.
Ah well, back to the black - maybe the next one will have them adjacent!
Trying something a little different. Repurposed Barry the Baptist for assaulting scavs at settlements. With my new suit and gun mods, it should be fun!
Even though it does look as though they have been "caught short".
For foreigners:
Urban Dictionary: caught short
When you or poo yourself because there are no ing/pooing facilites located nearby. Generally there are two choices. Find a quiet spot and relieve yourself against a wall/parked car or if wearing dark trousers, run the risk of relieveing yourself in your pants. Before the excretement...
Nanny filter even messes with URLs - the sound of the letter between O and Q is obviously offensive to someone.

But just think how good it would be if it was a planet with enough atmosphere that there was a snowstorm as well.
It's hard to say how disappointed I was when Odyssey brought FPS gameplay (which I never engage with) and didn't bother with basic atmospheric effects. Even Kerbal Space Program has clouds and dust storms and look how graphically simple it is...
Can't help but wonder how much more satisfied the ED community would be if every 3rd update was a little increment on the number of planets we can land on. Start with up to 2-3 atmospheres, as long as they're dry worlds, work towards precipitation of any kind and thicker/dustier/cloudier atmospheres, and save earthlikes to last when they can take advantage of the features previously developed. Real shame that development on planet tech seems to have ended, I was looking forward to visiting places like I could in Frontier: Elite 2...
I'd like to see more effort put into the whole exploration section of the game, too. Crossed fingers, I guess
The Cobra didn't work out. The hard points were not to my liking. Back to Santanico Pandemonium.
EDIT
Just did my first sabotage mission. Great fun but many humans were killed during the making of these four manufacturing instructions. Wanted in -system now and they want me to hand nyself in. No way, José.

Having proved I could get out of the Abyss, I took refuge overnight at Abyssinal Hope Depot where all jumponium materials can be found if you search hard enough. I was fully stocked. The arrow is the route back in with renewed courage. On a 70.5ly jump range ship, it took 6 level 3 FSD injections, and 2 level 2 FSD injections and hand plotting a number of other jumps to make it to Far Oasis. I have a headache from squinting at the galaxy map trying to find the next star I could jump to that was roughly in the right direction.
Far Oasis has been thoroughly explored before of course, but I have the following to visit:
3 Earth like worlds
2 water worlds
3 Notable stellar phenomena different from any I've seen before
2 ringed ice worlds with atmospheres, one with a 2 landable moons
A planet with some bio signals
I don't normally surface scan previously mapped planets these days , but I'll make an exception here and scan everything before I leave and sample all those bio signals. And take screen shots, especially the notable stellar phenomena - I love seeing these.
I'll try for Abyssinial Hidden Paradise next - 8 ELWs along a 1,000ly path with more unique in the galaxy Notable stellar phenomena to see. This area is south west of Far Oasis.
One thing that struck me travelling through the Abyss is, all but one of the systems I went through has been previously discovered. It seems to be a fairly busy part of the galaxy.

On my way to Colonia, I stopped off at a world with a methane atmosphere, to spot some Fonticula Digitos growing amongst the farts.
Also saw some ubiquitous-looking rock:

Good morning from Far Oasis.
Not much paint left on the Silver Phoenix now.
It's a space tree with the same pods attached to it as in the above picture.

I see what you did there
The Vette I use for "bounty hunting" (more like blowing up ships to scavenge their parts) is called Themis. My exploration Conda is called Nellie Bly. Nellie was a tough cookie.Is that a Cobra? Yesterday when flying around engineering my burst lasers and my PP in "Beelzebob" (a red Vulture), I couldn't help thinking that a little more versatility would be nice, and then I remembered that I've never really engineered a Cobra. I think that's next on my 2do list.
