More adventures in the Sol System in Elite Dangerous. Venus got an ugly images, because the wrong scan mode was enabled, but I assumed it was a bug and moved on. It turns out that "Earth" is categories as an "Earth-like world". Who would have guessed? Also you can't land on Earth, which is lame-o. Lastly I was surprised that in game, Mars has been Terra formed and has water.

I decided recently in Elite Dangerous that I wanted to head home, to Earth. This isn't as straight forward as it seems, you have to do a few missions for the Federation first and rank up. I bounced around doing some data deliveries for a few days and managed to get my Sol system permit. I decided I wanted to "see everything" so I started traveling between probes. At Mercury, I landed at a crashed ship site. And promptly received a fine and a bounty for trespassing. Then Space Jail...

So, I recently decided to add the Odyssey expansion to my Elite experience. This primarily adds a lot of planetary action. Basically, the ability to leave your ship. There is a little tutorial mission they make you run when first loading, infiltrate a little base, shoot some baddies, that sort of thing. In addition to landing on planets, you can get out at star ports. Which lets you see your cool ships parked in a hanger. I mean, you can also see them on planets I suppose. Anyway, my son started playing some, and he had Odyssey, it's apparently better…

Today's Elite Dangerous update, I added a 4th ship to my collection, the Asp Explorer. I tried using it for transport runs at Robigo but its not as good as the Dolphin. So I decided to use it for its name sake, exploring (and maybe transporting goods and combat). The first thing I tried through was moving goods. The target was a ground base, which I had never trued before. When I discovered my AspX did not include Landing assist. So I sloppily crashed into buildings but managed to land. I am actually not sure I like the AspX. It…
