Technical difficulties (severe server connection issues) delayed the third leg of the journey to Colonia, and I arrived at Eagle’s Landing in Eagle Sector IR-W d1-117 system one week behind schedule. There were more brown dwarfs on the plotted route, and I had to perform several corrections to find fuel stars.

Already late, I abstained from taking a closer look at the systems and only snatched a couple of detailed scans on the fly. Since fast travel is more important for the journey than exploration, I am thinking of getting rid of the so far unused vehicle hangar at the next station with outfitting services to increase the jump range a bit.

I have arrived at Amundsen Terminal in Lagoon Sector NI-S b4-10 system and completed the second leg of the journey on time. The route went through a brown dwarf field, but I got through with minimal course corrections.

Regardless of the goal to get to Colonia fast, I stopped to perform surface scans in an unexplored system to get some first discovered credits. I am tempted to explore more on the way, but so far the systems have been pretty dull, and I do not want unnecessary delays.

I recently joined Mobius to be able to fly among other commanders without the risk of being ganked. At first, I planned to get involved in the BGS for the Order of Mobius but decided to move to Colonia to support MCRN instead of staying in the bubble. I have desired to get more into exploration and since the Colonia Connection Highway was constructed the trip to Colonia can be done in reasonably sized 2000 light year pieces.

I considered purchasing a Diamondback or an Asp for the journey, but in the end, I decided to depart in my old Cobra which was already fitted as a planetary explorer. I have completed the first leg of the journey and landed at Hillary Depot in Blu Thua AI-A c14-10 system. If I keep up the pace, I should reach Colonia in about nine weeks.
