PS Also totally done with the stupid illegal cargo retrieval missions (at least out of Ceos/Sothis). They're not worth my time and it's awesome being able to scoop one item at a time before NPC's spawn in and I need to leave. Last one was only two but one was a 'Conda. The other two times were at least 7 ships. Selling the Viper, and am only doing courier missions and delivery missions from now on out here.

Blast it! I am going to have to fly back to Jameson, equip my Python for trade/smuggling, and fly BACK to Sothis, so I can do this cargo mission.. 72 cargo required for this.. and my asp isn't outfitted for that. Only mission I can unlock with this that is available to me.

Won't it be gone by then though? That specific mission I mean.
Update:
Unless you meant you can only do that mission. Upon completion, switch to other ship.

Timer is 23 hours or so left, so it'll be here. Found a better outfitting at Newholm. Can remove my hangar bay for a 6E cargo rack.. not really a fan of that, since it leaves me without access to the planets.

I thought that the timer was how long you have to complete the mission(s) should you accept, and the boards refresh new missions every 10 or so minutes?

Yeah. But it will spawn similar missions. I decided just to GTFO and scan like I'd planned anyway. Taking a quick nebula trip. I forgot Maia was over this side of the bubble. California dreamin' here I come. Geez, everything is so frellin' close when you've gone 22,000LY out. I can only what it's like for the true explorers out there.

Dunno if this is good stuff, but nice to get more than 1 at a time.


Definitely good stuff! I was in need of Spec. Legacy Firmware for a while and hunted for it for a few hours this week. It's used in a lot of recipies, so it's always good to have some on board! :)

The Abnormal Compact Emissions is listed as 'very rare' on Inara, but is only used in one recipe.

The Unexpected Emissions data is quite common.

Awesome. I try and stop at all the threat 0's I spot along my scanning.

Sitting in California Sector DL-Y D4. Heading to 2Mass. That crazy line of stars looks awesome from far away. Around 630LY from Sothis now. I had planned to go back at this point, but I figure why not keep going, since I'm here already.

Running around gathering engineers stuff (yes, I finally got sucked into it) :roll:

Carrying 4 tons of goodies, so I'm getting frequent Elite interdictions, but this one was a bit ridiculous.....

Elite (of course) FGS. Took down my Python's 556mj shields in 11 seconds. Yikes!! Time to GTFO.....

The short video clip.

Continuing my Star Trek Chronothon, that is, watching the entire Star Trek TV Show collection in chronological (or near enough) order. That's Enterprise, TOS, TNG, and then TNG, DS9, interwoven, then DS9 and Voyager interwoven.

Why am I doing this? Well.. this planets don't scan themselves.. yet.

On my way back to Sothis. 26 Jumps seems so trivial now.
