The Intergalactic Explorers – Exocraft Roaming
Last night, the IGE crew gathered for some planetside exploring. We met at the space station to ensure we got all the required upgrades we'd need for the task at hand. Our destination was an uncharted charred planet, the landscape dominated by mountains. Grip and power was required. We gathered to compare notes, swap resources, and ensure we were ready. We gathered at the designated outpost and got to wrenching. S class engine upgrades, better tires, and some boosters went in, making sure our rigs could climb the vertical expanses surrounding us. We set out into the unknown. No destination in mind, purely a direction. NORTH was the choice. Compton took the lead, as our most experienced Roamer driver. Pawz and Alex followed, followed by me (Raz), and Kilroy and Enoch a few hundred units back, per usual. We motored along, climbing up the tallest mountains, and yeeting ourselves off enormous cliffs, challenging each other to see who could have the most spectacular wipeouts. Pawz was the clear winner, as while cresting a particularly large hill, he was assaulted by a passing space craft, sending him skyrocketing over the next valley, over the next mountain, and landing somewhere in the next time zone. It was evening before we found where he landed, and celebrated with some IGE Nebula Buds and fireworks. The next morning, we got ready to go, but sadly, our departure was delayed, as Enoch needed to handle some "business." Day two was equally exciting, and by midday, we had found the highest peak around, and after conquering it, took a moment to take in the views. A few days of roaming on the planet's surface does wonders for your mood, as you realize that the terrain is so varied, the hills all unique, and the opportunities for fun (such as burying Enoch's Roamer in the dirt while he's off chasing something shiny) are what exploring is all about. submitted by /u/RazTheExplorer |
