Chapter 11 - >>>Day2: 2482KM from point of origin

An asteroid passed by really close to me while I as cruising. Even the smallest one is enough to tear my ship apart. The chance is one in a hundred thousands. but one billion metre journey rolls enough dice to make it inevitable. It will happen one day in my travel. I don't know when... The real question is how will I recover?

I accidentally left my forward thruster override on for five minutes and half of my juices are gone! I still have 8 hours left in my one uranium because I halved the gravity power. It's amazing how much one ingot can last!

At midnight (EST earth clock) I decided to boot up my antenna and started scanning. Third scan attempt is successful and my Comm dish detected not one but FIVE stationary object! There was Large, and Enormous. I went to Large one first because it's the closest. 25km later I saw a HUGE grey factory It was dark, scary and look abit haunted. I tried to dock on the side entrance but my side collide with it a little, causing the whole damn station to drift away. (0.2mps) I panicked, put on my helmet and jump out of the airlock. The door was locked so I grinded it in. After a long hallway I finally found a control terminal. I boot it up and turn on the light. Theres enough battery to keep it running for days!. Then I heard tatatatatat. The gattling outside is shooting my Ebikko!!! So I turned on the control panel and stunned for a few second. Everything is written in Russian... It took me a minute to find a turret and turn it off. Everything was fine after that. Turned out this place is a Computer parts manufactorum. I got some silicon, computer chips and display from the cargo.

I named the place Kovac. fits it's nation

Then a private sail flew by and shoot up the place. It was a sight to behold

Then I checked the rest, saved the enormous stationary for last. Commercial salvager has nothing in it. It is bigger than my shuttle, but definitely not for living. Theres a cargo ship here and there.

But behold... The Enormous Stationary.....

I know this ship. Its the Legendary Xedus Ophanium Class Attack Frigate! I could take this ship for a journey, its tempting.. but the interior is hard to navigate. The mass make it take sweat ass time to accelerate. and I dont want to abandon my Ebikko ;3

On 4000something km mark, I found this beauty:
