Elite: Dangerous

[Mjting]

Went to the Witch Head Nebula, which took me a whole day to get there and a whole night to get back to civilized space. Couldn't consistently jump around the ship's max frame shift drive distance, or I'd risk getting stranded in a system with no source of fuel, and eventually run out of life support once your ship power fails. Exploring can get somewhat more dangerous than combat.


Main Sequence Star - usually your main source of fuel apart from space stations in civilized space.








Bluish-White Star - another source of fuel. A little farther or your ship would burn along though. At least they don't have that crazy huge gravitational field that'll pull you out of supercruise and suck you in.










Also passed by the remains of an expeditionary fleet, somewhere around 700LYs from civilized space. Along with a cargo of military plans and some toxic wastes that you can scoop.










And, finally - Witch Head Nebula.



















That's all for now - I'll be exploring around in uncivilized space again soon. The nearest about 1.5-2x as far, some even more than 10, 20, 30.

Yeah. White dwarfs are incredibly annoying in how they can pull you straight out of warp.
