JAQUES OR BUST!
Again. Thankfully, the local interface to my seemingly remotely piloted ship has been a lot more stable today, so I wasn’t needing to reconnect every second jump like I was at points yesterday.
On the way I passed a beautiful L-class brown dwarf
This was followed by one of the first peeks at the Colonia Nebula:
Space is confusing though, as the stars just suddenly… stop.
As I slowly continued, I could see the Colonia Nebula getting bigger in my field of vision as I drew closer and closer to it.
Alas, I finally made it to one jump to go, and decided to call it a night.
Wait, who am I kidding, it’s ONE JUMP TO GO!
So I arrived in the system, found Jaques, and proceeded to approach the station, I managed to get docking permission, and just about set down on the pad.
-
- All the unknowns, but what’s this “Nav Beacon”? Don’t people have Discovery Scanners around here?
-
- Oooh, Colonia Hub!
-
- It’s a Jaques station!
-
- Nicely set down – I do remember how to land!
And then….
At least I’ve arrived.
After reconnecting back up to my ship, I repaired my ship, restocked it, sold my cargo and exploration data.
Eleven tons of Hutton Mugs have travelled over twenty-two thousand light years to be here, and all they get is 16,759/ton? That’s still over 180k credits profit though, given they’re cheap as chips at Hutton Orbital.
| Balance | 345,032 | |
| Repair cost | (2,260) | 342,772 |
| Restock cost | (1,232) | 341,540 |
| Hutton Mugs | 180,521 | 522,061 |
| Mossianite | 11,736 | 533,797 |
I sold 1,596 bits of exploration data, worth a total of 12,337,830 credits, split over 33 pages, averaging to around 7,730 credits per bit of data.

| First discovery bonuses | 328,407 | 13,200,034 |
In addition, I ranked up to Pathfinder!
There’s a large part of me that doesn’t want to do any more exploration now, as I have Curiosity and Opportunity as my ships, and Pathfinder as my exploration rank…
-
- Say what?
-
- PATHFINDER!
That’s all for now, I’ll probably summarize everything tomorrow in a new post, but I FINALLY MADE IT!
