 Right. Here we are. In the middle of nowhere. Literally, the middle of nowhere. Okay. What is going on? Let me sort out my little tablet so I can see any chats that may arise from people that may exist. Oh, look. Look at that. Neutron Star. Who knew? Tron Star. You know what I'm saying? Right. Let me just get rid of all of these annoying notifications. Get rid of all of those. Let's go back to Firefox. Except I can't. The tablet is going very slowly. I think it might actually have crashed. So let's load up Firefox. Let's inspect the chat. This is not the first of my Elite Dangerous Streams, not the second of my Elite Dangerous Streams. That's the third or fourth, maybe. I did one where I travelled to Vy Canis Majoris, one of the biggest stars in the galaxy. I did another one where I travelled somewhere else. I think it was the sightseeing tour of the Sol system. So that was pretty cool. And the recent one was my Trip to Colonia. So that was pretty neat as well. So what am I doing today? I am in a system just outside of Colonia. About 22,000 light years from Earth. Let's just check. Down here. Exploration. We are currently 21,950 light years from the starting point. The centre of the galaxy is a supermassive black hole at Sagittarius A star. I am going there. It's 11,000 light years away. My NAV computer has plotted a route of 330 jumps from here. That's using neutron stars as a booster. So we'll see how far we get. I'm not just going to go straight there. I'm going to do some exploring on the way. So I'm going to be looking at various different planetary systems. I'm going to be landing on some planets, having a look around some of the planets that I landed on. Let's see if we can't find any interesting things. Last time I did some planetary exploration I managed to find a crashed NAV boy, which was pretty cool. So we'll be doing a bit of exploration. I don't know how long this is going to take. If I was to just honk and scoop and jump and honk and scoop and jump and get there in no time flat. But that's not really what this is about. One thing that I wanted to show you guys. I finally managed to map some controls to my head look function. So I can now look around my cockpit if I need to, rather than just instantly looking at the various different things. So that might be useful if we're passing by a star and we want to look out the side window, or the other side window. Like that for instance. So we'll see how that goes. YouTube is still being painfully slow to load. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. So let's just try refreshing that page there. Close these tabs and they might be using up. Oh here we go. So let me just open up the chat. I see that no one is watching. That's great. Talking to myself. As per usual. Wunderbar. Scroll up here. Oh there are a couple of people. Oh hi Mark. Let's see if I can just pop out this chat. There we go. Now I'll be able to actually see what is going on. This stream is sponsored by Pucker Tea. It's not actually sponsored. That's what I'm drinking here. They haven't paid me any money for that. I shall just send the word out to a few of my friends who might be interested in this. What does God need with an Aspix explorer? Exactly. Let me find the Linkaroonie Doodieda. Where's my own feed? I can't even find it. Let's go to my channel. And let's share this. There we go. I'm going to invite my mum. See if mum wants to watch. You never know. Do that. I'll just let my steam friends know as well. A few steam friends I have. Let's have a look. See here. I can't even type. That'll do. Let's just copy that. Let's send it to who might be interested. Let's now get back into... I'm mostly set up. It's going to be a long journey. For some of you, it might be a boring journey. But we're seeing what the universe has to offer us. If you don't like it, I can't really help you. I just need to sort out my joystick position here. Right, so I'm going to have to hit super cruise. And pull out of the pattern. That's a retarded thing to do. So let's set course for that star instead. So I don't fly into the neutron star. That'll end our trip pretty quick. Throttle up to engage. You know what? I might as well fly out to this star and scan it. So info. Supercharge FSD to continue on your designated route. One of the things that I really like about the recent updates to the game. I was away from the game for a long time. It's the fact that it now takes into consideration the fact that you can supercharge your frame shift drive in neutron cones. So you can actually plot routes that take that into account and shave days off your journey. Which is pretty cool. I don't know whether that came about as a petition from the players or what the motivation was for that. But I'm not complaining. I think it's a pretty cool system. So let's scan this star here. I don't think it's scoopable. I think it's a teetory. No, it's a red dwarf. I could scoop off that. Although I still have tons of fuel so I'm not going to bother. Right. Let us select. So I'm going to fly towards the neutron star. I'm going to charge up in the jet cones and then off we go into the unknown. Well, start off with it. It'll be into the reasonably known. Because it's still around. Not totally habited space but vaguely habited space. Now I've got to be careful that I don't burn out my frame shift driver on the way to the center of the galaxy and then not have functional equipment to get home. That will really bum me out. Okay. So one thing about neutron stars is that you desperately want to get as close to them as you can but because they're so unbelievably dense it's difficult to get close. The heat radius is really large comparative to their size so you often find yourself being pulled out of supercruise if you get too close to them. It's one of the things you've got to watch out for when you're actually charging your frame shift drive. Hello, Lorcan. I'm not shooting any yellow transformers right now. Are we charged? There we go. Right. So onto our first system as soon as I get out of this jet cone. Onto our first system and I guess 330 jumps we are on our way and leave Colonia behind. Let's see what awaits us out in the black. I think as we approach the center of the galaxy things like neutron stars and black holes will become possibly more frequent. I'm not sure what the frequency of them is likely to be. I don't really know that much about it but I know that we're likely to find a reasonable amount of them so let's look at our system map where we're scanning that star. What do we actually have here? We've got a whole bunch of rocky planetoids. I'm not going to bother scanning this. It's already been discovered so I'm just going to scoop up and move on. So for the last few days I've had a massive headache and I put that down to the fact that I haven't drunk any coffee since Sunday. Originally it wasn't intentional but now at the point where I'm just like, no, I'm just not going to have any. That's why I'm drinking the herb tea. I will drink coffee sparingly from here on out. Let's see what we've got here then. I'm going to go straight into my system map from here. What do we have? We've got some landable bodies here and this is an undiscovered system so I think I will scan these things and we shall do some planetary exploration I think. So let's go and scan this. It looks like a metal rich body that's going to be worth a fair amount of cash. The problem is I'm not going to be able to sell this data for days so it's going to be interesting to slow down otherwise I'm going to end up doing the loop of shame again. No one wants that. Well look at that, the moon, this planet's moon is very close to it. Millie says hi. Hi Millie! So let's see, there's a big impact crater there. Looks like something rather large hit that at some point. I wonder, no. It's peppered with smaller impact craters. I will not hit the orbit with too much velocity. Let's go and see what we can find. Should be able to mine some resources which we can later then use in theory for repair. Let's see if we can reach the drop point. I mean those tiny looking craters from out way out where are actually pretty enormous. One of the things I love about the game is the fact that there's this incredible sense of scale, the fact that it appears to just be the same engine that handles massive light interstellar spaceflight and also close up orbital landing. It's a real achievement. There's a lot of people complain about all the planets are just all beige and it's like well, it's fairly realistic. But I don't really mind. I think they look pretty. That's the end of our glide. About three kilometers from the surface. Good view of the moon there. You can see the big impact crater there. We saw it from space. Now I could fly around and look for those points of interest but I think what I might do is just land and get out and have a drive around. See what I can pick up. What I did last time was send my ship away so that that didn't pick up on the wave scanner on my SRV. I'm not seeing any points of interest appear in although... Oh wait, there's a point of interest over there. Let's head over there. Maybe we'll be able to find something cool. I thought it was over here. There we go. I think it is a giant space. Space Pimpkin. Is that like a pumpkin that manages women in the sex trade? When you see these blue dots on the radar, that indicates there's something on the surface and something interesting on the planetary surface. So what we're going to do is sort of fly, try and get to the center of this circle and then we will descend, land, get out and then have a look around and see what we can find on our wave scanner. I'm just going to back up a bit, put a reverse thrust on. And about there I think. We will kill the thrusters and descend. Low gravity on this planet. It's about half a G. Now below about two kilometers, that blue dot will disappear. But that just means that we get out in our rover and we start having a look around. So you see the blue dots fading now because we're down below two kilometers but I'm still going to come into land. Somewhere good to set down. Let's just set her down here. Three, two, one meter, zero. There we go. Okay, so now we are going to get our scarabelle. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to reverse away from the ship. And then so you see on the wave scanner that big thing in front, that's obviously the ship, that's going to interfere with our search. So I'm going to send the ship away. So that will just head up into orbit. And let's have a look, see what we've got on our wave scanner in front of us. It looks like there's something interesting over here. Possibly. Let's keep on. Heading roughly this direction. The blips that are showing in the lower section generally are rocks to mine. If they're in the upper section, they can identify something which is potentially artificial. So I think if we keep on heading in this direction, there's a few blips, they're not particularly strong. And I'm, oh, there's something big over there though by the looks of things. Getting some sound on the wave scanner now. I don't think I should put sticks come sail away on a loop. I ever in my life under any circumstances, really, definitely something in this direction somewhere. Oh, we're getting a big reed in there. We've just got a big reed in. What's that over there? They're rocks picking something up over here. I can see that thing on my radar, but I think that's just a rock. So I'm ignoring that. I'm heading for the big bars over this way. All right, there's definitely something over here. Getting closer because that signal is getting stronger. Oh, it's gone past it. Okay. I get the horrible feeling that we're not going to find anything. Okay, so you know what? I'm going to harvest this rock. So at least then it takes us off, takes it off our radar. Actually in range. That's that. Oh, new material discovered. That's pretty neat. Right, now there's definitely something over here. Zinc, that new material. Yeah, the signal is getting stronger and stronger. It appears to be an escape pod. Let's have a look from outside. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Not entirely sure what we can do with it. There's a couple of them. Oh, what's that there? Okay, let's see if we can scan these. Scoop it up. I don't know if I can scoop this up. I'm going to try scooping up the escape pod. See what happens. Yes, I picked up an escape pod. Not entirely sure how that benefits us. Oh, now my cargo bay is full. Shit. Well, what's that thing? Yeah, good. That's just a rare manufactured material. Okay, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to call the ship back and then I'm going to board the ship, transfer some of this cargo if I can. I'm not sure if I can. I haven't got a cargo hold on my ship, so I don't know what happens. The materials that I collect are usually just stored, but I don't know. I'm going to try moving over that. Oh, good. So I picked up that rare material. That's good. Now where's my ship? Ship is there coming down to land. So let's board the ship and get underway. I thought that was a pretty cool thing that we found. I've got some crashed ship site. I've got some escape pods. I don't really know what I'm going to do with them. They're apparently occupied. Now I can't even board my own damn ship. Cargo scoop and let's board the ship. So yeah, what's this occupied escape pod? What do I do with that? Oh, I can't actually carry them on my ship. So I'm going to have to discard them. Good. So long escape pods. Right. All that excitement has made me need the toilet, so I'm just going to go to the toilet. And I shall return. In the meantime, you can have a nice external view of the ship. So here we go. Yo ho ho. And here we go. Let me check. Yeah, no one's interested in this crap. Without further ado, let's go and scan the rest of the system. We're going to scan that moon first, I think. Good. I'm glad we've got this ongoing commentary here. That's very useful. All right, what's next on our list? Let's go and explore this place. We're going to have to get out of the orbit first. I don't want to fly into that other planet. Back we go. So, well, I think considering that was the first planet that we landed on on this little expedition, we found a crashed spaceship and some escape pods which I had to leave behind. Sorry to the inhabitants of those escape pods. I think I was pretty good going. I wonder what the rest of the journey has in store. Plenty of tea, I should imagine. Right, let's fly to this other... destination. It's good. Let's go to this one. All these planets are reasonably close together. That's nice. I think if we find an ice planet, we might go and fly around on that. Sometimes they have some cool ravines that you can fly down. So, we're going to do a bit of planetary flight if we find one of those. It kind of bothers me that today is the day that the Thargoids finally attacked and there's stations burning all down in the Pleiades and here I am, thousands of light years away. I figure I could try and get back and get involved in that but it would take me so long. It would all have moved on by the time I'd get there so I figure the best thing to do is just carry on with my original plan which is to head for the centre and then once I've done that I can head back and see what's up there. So, the current plan is to go to Sagittarius at the centre of the galaxy and then head back to the bubble. On the way back I want to see the Great Annihilator as well and what I might do is just have a look and see what other highlights might be worth stopping by on the way. Are we still reciting those lyrics? So, I don't know if anyone has been watching the news and either heard or read about the interstellar meteorite which just came hurtling into our solar system and there's an overblown story about how oh it might be an alien spaceship. It's probably not an alien spaceship. But it's interesting nonetheless. 6,000 light seconds out. It's going to take a little while to get to. Now the star field looks really amazing out here. Not only have you got the very densely packed near stars but you can see all the pricks of light in the background. Can only imagine what it's going to be like when we get closer to the core. Imagine it's going to be fairly bright all around. That's going to be interesting to see. I had a dream where I was standing on the top of the galaxy looking down on it and it appeared as one giant organism with pulses of light passing through my big rifts in the stars right up to the centre. It was quite bizarre. It was only a dream. Pretty cool looking nebula over there. You've got the Magellanic clouds up there as well. Pretty cool, huh? Right, that's this galaxy. This galaxy, this solar system done. So let's head to the next one. Ever onward towards the centre. Oh and the game's crashed. Wonderful. Excellent. Right, let's not send a thing. Great. Fully exit the program. I'm going to start it all over again. Might have to restart Steam apparently. Ah, right, okay. Oh, I didn't see the Russian contingent here. Welcome, whoever you may be. Is it because, wait a second. I think my chat is out of date. So I just need to pop this out again. Pop out the chat. Right, okay, so the game crashed. So I'm just going to load it up again. Should start off where we left off. All this excitement is distracting me from back kick parrots. That sounds like a pretty awesome topic though to be fair. Hopefully that's all looking good. Yes, we should be rocking and rolling. Dangerous horizons. Now then, let's wait for it to connect to the server. Let's start as a game. I might have to re-plot my route actually. Those of you interested, I'm playing on Mobius because I want to avoid griefers basically. I've never had any problem with the aggressive PVPers in-game but when there's a lot of stake and I just want to chill out, I'll join Mobius. Right, here we are. So let's open the Galaxy map and yes, I'm going to have to re-plot the route. So that's Ogmar where I came from. So here's the Galaxy. It's pretty large. There's the center. That's the great annihilator there which is kind of on the way home. Earth is all the way over there. So we are going here, Sagittarius. Let me select it. Can't I select you? Okay, I'm going to do it the... Right, I've got Jet Cone Boost on. Let's plot the route. It's not an alien spaceship but it does have a payload of thousands of xenomorph eggs. Okay. And obviously, the route planning is going to take a little while because it's a fairly long journey and there's a lot of stars and it's doing a lot of calculations. So it's cool to have this sat nav though. Well, it says it's great. So, you know, who are we to argue? 323 jumps. I think that's actually plotted a quicker route for us. That's pretty cool. So anyway, where are we now? Let's just... We can discover. Let's lock that destination there. So scan this star and then I'll head off to the next system. Good. So, onwards and upwards. Charge up the friendship drive. And off we go. Let's see what else awaits us. Check the system map. Let's see what systems we have. Someone has been here before us so I'm not going to bother scanning all of these stars. We could do those ones but they're mostly worthless. So, yeah, I'm not flying all the way over there. 55,000 light seconds, no chance. So I shall just fuel up. Then we'll head to the next system. Okay. On to the next system. It's another scooperable star, K-class star. So what's everybody up to tonight? You can't have particularly interesting nights if you're watching me fly an imaginary spaceship. So let me know what you're up to. Send me a message in the chat. So there's two things in this system. Just two stars. Neither of them discovered so I might as well scan them for a bit of extra cash. How far away is the other one though? 3,000 light seconds, that should be fine. And we're out of here. That's it. Let's go to the next system. On towards the centre. Well, there's not much in these systems, is there? Just to scan it. And these were fairly worthless so I'm not going to bother with those. Oops, I didn't mean to deploy a heatsink. That's wasted a heatsink. Wow. Okay, what an idiot. I guess at least I'm not going to overheat. Background video and audio. I can see how this would be sort of like, you know, in keeping with that. Wow, these systems are fairly empty, aren't they? It's just another star. And it's already been discovered. So I'm just going to fuel up and move on. Right, where are we ended up here? It's a red dwarf. Like, there's a reasonable number of stars in system. No, there's only... Well, they're unexplored. That's unexplored. That's unexplored. And they're all reasonably close. So let's do it. Let's bag this system. That's that one bagged. That's interesting. Did I not honk the system? I need to set my filters. I don't want to display systems though because that'll just... That should do it. Right, what have we got? That one's fairly close. So let's go there. It's interesting the stars are much denser over that side. That's etching towards that nebula. Do-dee-dee-dee-dee. So let's scan this planet. The other star is pretty far away, so I think I might just scan this planet and then move on to the star's, what, 14,000 light seconds away. It's going to take a while to get there. It's an icy body, but we can't land on it. So let us head on. So there's 318 jumps now. Every so often I consider buying a VR setup that literally the only reason I would have that VR setup would be for this game. New astronomical object. These systems are all just empty. What is going on? Oh no, I got too close to the sun. Yeah, okay, we need to correct this. Buy away from the sun. Maybe we should try to cool down. I reckon Escape Vector would be a pretty cool name for a club. Like playing cheesy old, late 90s, early 2000s industrial EBM. Escape Vector. Onwards and upwards. I'm hoping as well. I mean there's a greater chance that we'll see some Wolf Riot stars the closer we get to the centre. So I'm hoping maybe we'll find some of those. Oh, this is an explored system. These look like icy bodies. So maybe we could land on some of those and obviously I haven't got the scans at the surface. That looks interesting, doesn't it? What a way are these things? 235 light seconds. No chance mate, what about that one? No, I cannot be bothered to fly all the way out there. That's a track and a half. So I'm just going to scan this star and hop on to the next system. That's now done. Okay, hopefully we'll have some better look with this system. That's more like it. Let's take a look at what we got here. Ooh, interesting looking system. People have already been here, but that looks like a water world to me. All of these systems, all of these planets are worth a fair amount of money. So I think I might go and scan them. Actually, let's just scan that water world. That's probably worth the most. And then we'll have opportunities to find a system of our own like this one. I mean if you were first to find, which we're not. Pretty sure I got thrown out of escape vector. If it was a club in the movies it would be totally amazing because all clubs and movies are totally amazing and clubs in real life are an incredible disappointment. It doesn't matter where you go, they're always rubbish. So one of the limitations of the game is that although you can land on planets you can only land on planets that have no atmosphere. Which means that at present you can't land on water worlds. You can't land on earth-like planets. You're fairly limited. You've got ice planets, you've got rocky planets, you've got like high-metal content planets. But I hope that one day they implement the feature to be able to land on planets with atmosphere. Or even someone suggested being able to skim the upper layers of atmosphere and a gas giant. I think that would be really cool. So we shall see what happens in the future. I'm not holding my breath though. Out of stuff here, let's have a look what have we got. Logan the Three Light. I think I was supposed to say elite but you know. Whatever. Gonna scan this planet and then move on. Charge the friendship drive. Sorry it's been a reasonably uneventful journey as far as space travel is concerned. I was hoping we were in for an exciting time after the first planet we landed on we discovered that wrecked spaceship. So it's a shame we haven't really had an opportunity to have a similar encounter. Still plenty of jumps to go. We have 313 jumps so it's still a long, long way to go before we reach our goal. So we'll have plenty of opportunities. Don't doubt. Let's check them out. Mostly icy balls. They're all undiscovered and let's see how far away is the furthest away. 8000 light seconds. We could probably scan this system. Such a headache. Probably shouldn't be playing video games. I'm pretty damn tired as well. Well, depending on how it goes we'll see how far we can get before I have to call it a night. One of the advantages of having a ship which hasn't got a fully maxed out Frameship Drive is that because I'm not jumping the full round I mean most people in an ASP Explorer will have a 5A Frameship Drive so they can jump at least 35 light years in a time. Mine jumps 25 light years. That increases the number of stops on the way but it also increases the chances that you'll discover a new system. So it's got its advantages. Excuse me. They're not always oblate spheroids. Earth is an oblate spheroid. A single planet isn't an oblate spheroid. Especially in this game I think they're pretty much just spheres. I see body. We can land on this one. Should we go and see what's on this planet? Let's see what it looks like. Interesting looking surface patterns there. Check something here. This looks pretty cool, doesn't it? What? Gravity is next to nothing. I want to fly along this big canyon here. So we've got six kilometers off the surface. Down into this. Looks pretty cool. Looks very cold. Very close to the surface now. Interesting how it just looks like a big crack from out of space. But when you're up close it's just like a huge sweeping valley. I guess it's like that on Earth as well. If you look at the Grand Canyon from space I imagine it just looks like a big crack in the Earth. Look at some of those big craters that were just around the side. See sometimes it's just like flying around the planet. They just look cool. Alright, let's go scan the rest of the system. So what's the next planet this one? Locke and supercruise. There we go. That world's best nightclub. The galaxy's best nightclub. Escape Vector. There's yellow bits on the surface there. An aspic pleura. Oh God. Yes, I see what you just said. So isn't it interesting how in real life outside of people's houses on Christmas Day it's mostly dead. There's not many people out and about. But I'm betting in the game world on Christmas Day there'll be tons of people playing. Obviously they're all back in their habitat systems. It's rare to see another explorer. That one as well. I wonder if it'll be more of the same. Let's check it out. Oh, I can't land on that one. Thought I could. A thousand light seconds away. See the further out from the sun the systems get. They great at the disk. Sometimes you have to go to the other side of the solar system because they're orbiting opposite sides. They're not always in a nice neat line. You know, you might have one the outer orbit over here and the sun here and the other one all the way over there. But once you get up to some speed, it doesn't really matter. What's implausible? Tell me what's implausible. Now we can land on this one. Let's go check it out. See if it looks any different. It's got quite a few canyons in there. Green stuff on the surface there. I'm just going to check the scan in the log a second. Some of these planets have volcanism, apparently. Like geysers. So that would be pretty cool to see, I reckon. Good night. My friend from Russia. Whoever you may be. Nice to have you watch. What this green stuff is. It's just to be green rock. It's like moldy cheese. Let's go down and there's ship lights on. See if that makes any difference. Oh, now you tell me it's unsuitable terrain. Let's go have a look at this weird green landscape. It's quite rocky around here. Did not ask about yellow snow. It's rather mountainous, isn't it? Looks pretty awesome, though. You know what, I might see if I can get some decent photographs. That's pretty cool as well. Right, let's go back in there. I'm going to descend into this valley. It's a bit of a wild ride. Oh, God, I'm going to... Okay, maybe that's not the best way down. It's still a massive drop. This is less easy than I thought it would be. I wanted to get down into that canyon, but... Looks fairly steep down those sides. I wonder if my jump jets could take me down safely. I'm in freefall. Okay, that could have been worse. Could have been worse, but we're still alive. Here we are at the bottom of that weird valley. Oh, yeah. I guess I was asking about the yellow snow then in that case. We're racing across here. The scan is picking up absolutely nothing of any interest. I might have to call the ship down in a minute. Oh, God, what did I just hear? I'm picking something up now to harvest. Except I can't drive, it seems. Any more for any more? There's even more. Ah, there's another mine over here. New material discovered. Chromium. Are we going to get to the top of these mountains? That's the question. It's a pretty good ball-terrain vehicle. I do get it into some weird situations. I don't need to go over there. Okay, that could have gone better. Right. Okay, let's just ignore that and say we can't. Oh, God. Yeah, my SRV is going to be ruined at this rate. Varian cover chromium. Yes, indeed. Oh, for God's sake, Carl. Learn to drive. Masodirite, not to be confused with the misogynite, which is a chemical compound that hates women. Let's realize I've had my cargo scoop out this whole time. Metallic meteorite. Hopefully this will give us some pretty cool materials to harvest. New material discovered. Molybdemon. Or however that's pronounced. There's a reasonable amount of resource on this seemingly dead planet. Piss off. Once again, Carl can't drive. 65. It's going to be halfway up that mountain side. So if it is, I ain't getting it for shit. So you can get funked. Let's go on some crazy full throttle adventure. Oh, I see that mad air I just caught. Oh, and again, look at this. Rocks don't concern me. Too decent enough signal coming from over here. Maybe harvest some more material. Oh, God damn it. Yeah, I sent the ship away. The ship's up in orbit. I'll call it down when I need it. But I'm miles away from the original landing spot. I fell down a hill as well. Whole integrity of 50% doesn't sound particularly good, does it? And here I am, wandering into the mountains where I know my ship won't be able to land. I wonder if I can get to the top of these mountains and then call the ship down. That sounds like a plan, doesn't it? Let's try that. Alright, so I reckon the ship will be able to land around here somewhere. Let's see if I can call it back down. I actually know where the ship is. Here he is. Down here somewhere by the looks of things. Where is the damn thing? Oh, it's behind me. Where's he landing? Oh, it's there. Oh, God. God damn ship's miles away. Let's board the ship. Now, I think there's only one more planet to scan in this system. So, oh, there's three more. That destination. Supercruiser out of this place. So long. Yeah, so long weird green bit of the planet. That was kind of weird, wasn't it? Okay, so. Next planet. Oh, God. We are going to have to properly get away from this before we can actually travel anywhere significant. A few hundred thousand kilometers should be... should be adequate. A nice view from this canopy. I like the asp. So, currently traveling at 20 times the speed of light. Start scanning anytime soon. And there's that. So, there's only this one place left to scan. It's literally on the other side of the solar system. So, let's head over there and then jump to the next system. It's starting to get a bit late. So, after I've jumped out of this system, the next system I find with a landable planet in our camp there for the night. So, it's been an interesting trip so far. I mean, we're only, well, we've still got 312 jumps to go. We're only about 15 jumps into it. We've actually not really travelled that far tonight. But we've done a reasonable amount. I mean, scanned two full systems and claimed them. Which is nice. Found a crashed spaceship and some escape pods. That was pretty cool as well. I've harvested various materials which I can use in synthesis here. So, oh, it's very useful. In fact, I've got refills for my automatic field repair module. It's very, very useful. So, yeah, I think we're, it's with this, because it's, the journey from Sol to Colonia was a massive undertaking. And this is still like pretty big, but it's, I think rather, it's not the destination really that's that important to me at this stage. It's seeing what I can find on the way. You know, I mean, obviously we'll end up at the centre of the galaxy eventually. But I'm hoping that we can find some pretty awesome sights on the way. 20 times speed of light. Do I know what that means? No. What does it mean, Lorcan? Tell me. I might see if I can turn off the option to have those panels keep appearing when I use head look. So I'd like to be able to just look down through, through there without having that appear. I can still access it like, like this, and that's more useful I find. I don't actually have anything to repair my SRV, which is kind of bad because that's really beaten up now. Don't actually know what materials I'd need to repair my SRV. I should probably try and find some. Okay, and that I believe is the whole of the system tagged and bagged. So let's head on out of this place. Iron and nickel in repairs available. SRV required. I've got an SRV. What's it talking about? Rather bright, isn't it? There's got to be a landable planet in this system. Yes, there are many. I get to close this one, which is probably that one. So let's select that. That's where we're going to land. I'm interested why this, maybe I have to do that from the SRV, I guess. Oh, this looks an interesting planet. Tall looking mountains there. Very tall looking mountains. So let's see if we can just set it down. Continually hover like one meter off the ground. What gives? Alignment, okay. Good. Land me. So I'm going to try deploying the, oh, scarabs back up to full. Does it get automatically repaired then every time? That doesn't make any sense. I guess if I try a... Yeah, okay. So it's obviously when I'm out in the field in my SRV. Well, that's pretty useful. But I'm not camping in the SRV. I'm camping in my ship. So let's board the ship, shall we? You know, one thing that I really like is like the external view of the ship. If I get really close, you can see, look, there's me. It's like my actual avatar that I designed. It's really pretty neat. And in theory, if you meet other commanders out in space, then, you know, you'll be able to see something similar. I was hoping to get a decent shot. There's not really much to see round here. I'm a bit far away from those mountains. Let's see if I can get a decent shot with the mountains and my ship. That's not great view, is it? Pretty crap view all around. The side-on view of the Milky Way and my ship, that might look pretty cool. Yeah, that looks kind of cool. I could turn the lights on as well. What do you think, lights on or off? I think lights on looks cool. I'll take one with the lights on and one with the lights off. So, so, well, that's me landed on EOL Prue PCV E2-37883A. And this is where I'm camping out tonight. Still a massive, massive journey ahead. 311 jumps. So, let's just check the Galaxy map so we can have a look at where... This is where we are. You see, in a couple of jumps there's a... That blue line there, that indicates a neutron jump. So, the next system is going to be a neutron star. I'll have to jump up there. Yeah, and then there's another neutron jump up here. So, let's just have a look where we are. That's where we are. That is where we started earlier. So, we've come a reasonable way. But where do we need to get to? It's all the way over there. So, yeah, there's still a long way to go. But not as long as the journey to get to Cologne. So, the plan is to go to Sagittarius A-star here, swing by the Great Annihilator here, and then head on back to the bubble. That's going to be a really long journey from the Great Annihilator to the bubble. So, we might end up going to one of these way stations. Let's see how it goes. But yeah, so thank you very much for watching. I'm sorry we didn't get as far as some of you might have been expecting, but it's not the destination, it's the journey. So, thanks very much. Look forward to seeing you again. No, I don't want to take off. God damn it. I'm going to have to land again now. There we go. So, yeah, look forward to seeing you again. Rock and roll. Oh, with regards to the Dungeons and Dragons stuff, I have a plan which might work. Probably won't, but I'll try it. So, there we go. That's a cryptic message. Anyway, see you all later.
