Journal of an explorer

Here you will see screenshots I took from space games that I find beautiful or interesting. I take them mainly from Elite Dangerous and Kerbal Space Program, but I hope to extend that to other games (especially Star Citizen) in the future. Got any screenshot or story you'd like to share ? Submit it and I'll see if it is worthy ;)

Faulcon DeLacy - Krait Mk II

The Krait Mk II is a reimagining of the Krait Lightspeeder, which was originally manufactured by Faulcon DeLacy in the 3100s. Although the new ship is larger than the original, it possesses many of the same characteristics, emphasizing speed, manoeuvrability and firepower over defensive capability.

Damn it’s a big fleet... All taken down by this single thargoid I presume...

[journalofanexplorer]

This is my first try at taking down a Thargoid since they added the new weapon and scanner. I knew I was only going to tickle it with my lone iEagle but I wanted to try anyway ^^

I don’t want to throw away my Anaconda at the moment as I don’t have the money to spend on much rebuys (each time I am killed in my combat Conda it costs me around 10 mil cr so...)

I also noticed that the devs added new soundtracks to go with the thargoids and I love it c:

Boepp CW-V e2-516 is a nice planetary nebula with a black hole as its central star

The view is nice when you are thousands of light years above the galactic plane

More pics of Sagittarius A*

Finally made it to Sagittarius A* !

I must admit I was a bit disappointed by the look of it, but I guess it’s just because I was spoiled by the visuals of black holes in other games/movies, such as Gargantua in Interstellar

Still pretty cool to see it up close though, and the (massive) star orbiting around it is also a great sight :D

Approaching Sagittarius A*, the “sky” is getting completely filled with stars
