Another day in paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of Colonia!

Who am I kidding, it’s the only thing keeping me from SPACE MADNESS.

I started the session by watching CMDR Felix Macedonica‘s Twitch stream of his epic rescue by CMDR Chiggy Vonrictofen, in which Chiggy travelled from the Zunou sector to Jaques for a refit, then out to (almost) Beagle Point where Felix was stranded – a truly stunning rescue.

After that, I didn’t have quite as much time remaining as I’d hoped for to allow me to make more significant progress, hampered further by a few interesting planets.

Interesting HMC world, with a “water-rich” atmosphere. This is my new favourite way to describe the Scottish skies…

8% Vanadium on this planet, though you’d never have known it

By this point, you may be wondering where the “ran out of SRV fuel” incident came from. Well, I got distracted by something else while sat in my SRV, forgot to turn off systems to conserve fuel, and was suddenly confronted with a “Shields Offline!” message. What could possibly have killed my shields this far into deep space? Oh, yeah. Fuel.

That’s small for a ringed planet…
