All day yesterday, due to the feeling of “going too fast”, I decided I needed a day-long break to recharge my own frame shift drive (and also to be a wee bit more social in the EDEX Discord server.
\nI’m being told that I have “a huge payout” once I get back to the bubble. Looking forward to it. I estimate I should be back before my birthday (this coming Saturday).<\/p>\n

Also went to the movie theater to watch the WarCraft movie. Gave it a 3\/5 (an ‘Average’ score). But, I could see they really tried their best to capture a few of the zones seen in WoW. And Gul’dan was once again a fucking badass.<\/p>\n

.
\nMoving on from that totally not an excuse to make the blog post longer, I’ve learned how large-scale expeditions work. And surprisingly, it’s not like I thought. But it should had been, because there’s just no real way for it to<\/em> work like that.
\nTea_Rex, the head of the expedition, explains<\/a> that the really long (5kLy) jumps that require a lot of waypoints (depending on the jump range of the ship), we’re on our own for the rest of the journey (until we get to the next waypoint).<\/p>\n

In other words, it’ll be me doing -exactly- what I’ve been doing in this solo expedition; dropping bookmarks near every 1kLy point on the route and jumping there until I reach the next point. Which is why I REALLY<\/em> should consider upping my jump range to make my<\/em> journey not as boring. However, I hear that selling my data to her will NOT improve my chances with the rolls. So, FUCK!! >-:(
\nHe also says not to burn yourself out — to land on an occasional planet and check it out (and send pictures if you wish). I’ve only sent pictures of systems not at the next WP if they’re really<\/span> interesting to me, such as seeing this<\/a> trinary beauty on the way to the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula (a pair of B-type and an A-type next to it). Gorgeous!<\/p>\n

[sarcasm]
\nSo yeah. More of.. solo-plotting that I just ‘love’ so much! \ud83d\ude00
