Explorer's Log: 30-MAR-3301

Ok, so everyone is trolling +Mahd Dogg about his inability to find Earthlikes; and he is convinced that David Braben and Michael Brookes are removing the Earthlikes from the Stellar Forge just as he approaches a system containing one.  And yes he does wear tin foil hats which adds to the fun of baiting him.

Nevertheless 65 systems out from Beta-1 Tucanae and 1450 light years later I found my first EarthLike planet.  Woo Hoo!!!  Needless to say I didn't wait to gloat @Mahddogg on Twitter! lol


It even had a water world as an orbiting companion.




During the evening CMDR Sam Ishum followed me up to the vicinity to view Shapley 1 - which I have blogged about separately.  We joined up in a wing and did a little co-exploration. 

We discovered that the wing instance seems to break when you get further than 3000 ls apart while surveying a system, but for the systems where it did work, we got co-discovery together:-
