Jump in 15: Bleia Eork OO-Q e5-2

I'm still on board. Just not still in a hurry and just along for the ride.

This is the first time I'm going to go explore a bit.

In case anyone's still on board...

Jump in 15: Tyriedgoea TZ-G d10-3

I'm heading back to the bubble anyway... But yeah, it's not going to be fast.

I reckon at my current pace I'll be hitting the Guardian sites about 4kLY nearer to the bubble, in about a week.

I'm just now hopping on my gaming rig since last week..Been busy and just haven't felt like even touching it. I may end up just pulling the escape pod and recalling my ships just so you can go about at your own pace without worry and call this tour done and successful.

Your the commander. I'll hop down to another ruin now and run around for a bit. I'd go flying off and do some exploring for first-footfall exo but it's a heavily traveled area.

So I'll just roll around in a SRV for awhile to collect some random guardian stuff, scan some obelisks and shoot resources out of brain trees.

I'm thinking head west on Sunday? Once we get nearer the bubble I'll swing south to the Guardian ruins there... And I'll check which system has the structure we need before we get there...

Going to be offline most of today, stripping/cleaning/upgrading pc. And I'm busy most of tomorrow... Would like to get another hour or so in the area before we start jumping.

Was able to get a decent amount of obilisk scan data from one ruin site. I'm loaded back up on the FC.

Meh, I'll at least pick up some scan data, caskets and other stuff for a little bit. We can pack up and roll out whenever you give the signal.

Need to find a Guardian structure first. I've only found ruins so far... I have a horrible feeling I was thinking of a different collection of Guardian planets out at the NGC 3199 Nebula

I'm in no rush to go anywhere. Been pulled away from my gaming pc for the past couple of weeks as well so no worries. My point defense module should be delivered by now and getting ready to hop in and mess around at one of the sites for a bit.

I've been to one in the past to get everything for the FSD booster but haven't been to another since. The guide you posted should help re-familiarize myself with dealing with them.

Ah that explains it, I'm not in the system.

I've barely had a chance to play since we got here... Real life keeps getting in the way, as per usual. It's been a busy few weeks lol.

If you're sick of being out here, I'll turn back before weekend. On the other hand... If you're happy to stay out here for longer, I'm not in any rush...

It's the name of the FC that jumped into the system last night. I'd never heard of the tale of that bird before. Was just interesting and I'm easily distracted.

I don't have a point defense module. That other FC wasn't selling them either. I have one in storage but it'll take 25 hours for it to get shipped out to our location. Suppose I can get that started now.

Why are we talking about a giant bird that flies up it's own ass though?

Not sure about any Saxon connection... I think it's much more recent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oozlum_bird

Is that really a saxon folk tale?

Ouzelum sounds familiar... Isn't that the bird that flies up it's own ass?

Seriously... WTF is happening?

The "Majesty of the Ouzelum" is here...hmmm

DiamondKiwi's guide might help:

Yeah there's a lot of Guardian data to collect down there that you'll need later on.

You have to drive around and collect some of the guardian items, and have them in your inventory when you're scanning the obelisks (those tombstone looking things, some of them will light up when you get close in an SRV).

Do you have a point defence module or two fitted? Make sure they're on top of your ship if you do... When we get to the place where we get the blueprints, there's Guardian sentinels (like Skimmers from human settlements) that will attack... They launch missiles at you, but if your ship is nearby the point defence will take them out.

If you don't have point defence, we can wing up over the weekend so I can provide cover.

I evidently don't know what I'm doing. This is Site 2.

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to make the haul for the suit. It's a nice suit though. They'll be more chances for or time to build my own sometime.

I need to double check and see what I need exactly. I think mainly just the stuff for the corrosive cargo container but mainly to help you farm some stuff.

Will hop out this evening and do some exploring.

I did not remember it correctly. 3 sites, all ancient ruins... Might be alpha, beta and gamma with a little luck. I'll go scouting for the Guardian structure needed for the actual blueprints and jump to it in a day or two.

Jump in 15: Eta Carina Sector EL-Y D16

If I've remembered it correctly, we should be jumping to the orbit of a moon with Guardian ruins on it.

Jump in 15: Tr 16 Sector IH-U c3-7

Jump in 15: Blu Theia VS-F b38-0

Got another chance for the G5 mav suit if you missed the last CG:

https://inara.cz/elite/communitygoals/

You can grab the things required in and around tomorrow's destination, but it's HIGHLY unlikely the carrier will make it back before the CG ends. 9000Ly in a Caspian with a couple of cargo racks shouldn't be too painful... Don't fancy doing it again so soon myself lol.

Heading to one of the Guardian sites in the Eta Carina nebula tomorrow afternoon. Probably headed to:

Eta Carina Sector EL-Y d16

This may change. Can't remember if it's one with the thing you need to get the blueprints or not. Hoping it is, it's the only one I've bookmarked in the area lol.

CD-57 3348 is an interesting looking one. Neutron Star orbiting a blackhole. If you've got SC assist, set it to orbit the blackhole and enjoy the show lol.

Here's the gas giant: https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3706835289

The ring around the nearest star is known as the Spider's Web...

While it's not the biggest example I've seen, It's too big to scan. The rings in the nearest gas giant, which look rather impressive from the surface of the small moon nearby; you'd need about 15 of them side by side to cover the diameter of the star's ring...

That's not the fun part though. You might see it on approach to the carrier. You might not...

From certain angles the stars ring can be near impossible to see. Keep an eye out for the "IMPACT" warning when you think you've got a clear run ahead of you ;)

Jump in 15: CPD-57 3520

Fell asleep

Will be on in a couple of hours to get the last jump from yesterday done: CPD-57 3520

Jump in 15: NGC 3324 Sector DP-C b14-1

Jump in 15: Tyriedgoea ZS-X b28-1

Next stop is about 1400LY away. We'll be heading there tomorrow afternoon.

Sweet. Good timing. I haven't sat down at my gaming pc since the weekend. No worries about spacing out. I'll be hopping on in a few.

Jump in 15: Blo Thae QC-M d7-14

Found a sweet little mining spot between waypoints...

Hit X Carinae about 15 minutes ago. Reckon I could have done it without stopping for fuel...

Covered about a quarter of the distance in less than an hour... Not too shabby.

I'm playing catchup today...

Jump in 15: X Carinae

I spaced out last night, sorry...

Still have to say, try the nose dive if you haven't yet.

I did switch back to my AspX for now just because I was having a harder than normal time trying to land the Caspian on rugged planets. I've read a few different things about, mainly how it's supposed to be easier because the landing gear is so massive, and it is. The SRV gets drops from the hold.

Don't know Echoworm either.

I have been updating the carrier on edsm/eddn/inara, occasionally... Think the last time was about a week ago. I keep forgetting lol.
