Well, I'm in Maia now. I stripped the Asp X of all non essentials to maximize jump range and flew off in to the void. It was about 14 jumps to get there and I scanned and scooped the whole way, found a good number of HMC worlds and gained 500k in explo data on the trip out. Today I will explore Maia system then head for Felicity. I read a great way to boost rep with her is to sell her the exploration data, so I plan to have a bout a million's worth when I visit.

This station where I buy the meta-alloy has lots of stuff for sale that I hadn't seen for sale elsewhere. I wonder if any of this is useful for me to pick up and take with me for engineering? My initial engineering plan is to improve the strengths of my ships, rather than engineer away the faults. Make the Courier faster, the Vulture more maneuverable and the Asp X jump further. All of that can be done at Farseer. Not sure what I will do with the FDL.
