Hi everyone,
this is a story for everybody who has never been to CND and wonders what it's like up there. A friend and me made our first trip there last saturday and we documented everything and took some notes. So if you want to see our CND story, have fun...

So, now we can start!
18:40: We were starting our search for a pilot up to CND in Twin Peaks
18:56: We found a pilot, two more seats were left, but we had to get a TP none of us had anyway. So we went NE from Treasure Island Caste, some 15 minutes later we all met at the TP. In the meantime Eagle-Pilot TI North, our pilot found two more guys, so we could start our journey. It took about 5 minutes to get to the hangar.
-pic1-
19:30: Eagle-Pilot TI North logged into the ship, we payed, 25 PEDs each. Now it went up!!
-pic2- -pic3- -pic4-
I have made a little video how I arrived in the spaceship, yeah! 'Was really cool! Then everybody had to sit down and push a red button. But, please accept my advice, the left seat in the front of the ship is the pilot's seat, so don't sit down there (like I did)!
-video1- (if just clicking on it doesn't work, try "save target a" instead)
19:35: Yeah, we arrived at CND! Take a look, I made some screenis how it looks there!
-pic5- -pic6- -pic7-
Now we straight hurried to the next Teleporter and did some hunting in Biodome #1. It's inhabited by some Ambulimaxens, Young and Mature, so no problem for our axes. It's really strange on the asteroid. Completely weird! Down on the planet inhabitants are fighting against these wild beasts to bulit up a rich and happy civilisation, but on CND you're hunting mobs just for pleasure! Just for fun! With a cool look on the stars and the sun! Great!
20:45: I forget to tell: when you arrive at CND there pops up a message, which states, that - due to I cannot remember, I esimate some radiation or stuff – the finder's range is decreased by 40%! But, on the other hand, the deposits you find on an asteroid is way larger than on a planet.
This was really right, because for my first 17 bombs I didn't even find a Tiny. But, hehe, as I dropped my 18th, I found some XI Lyst, yeah! Way cool.
20:57: Well, some Ambus were just too angry and killed us.
-pic8-
21:15: So we went to Dome #6, Young Caperons. As pewiki was down this evening, we hadn't a clue what mob to expect. Kehl dropped some probes and got VII & XI Melchi!!! You maybe think that's nothing speacial, but in fact it is: The largest find Kehl ever had before this evening, was IV! So this was really cool and gave us a push!
On the other hand, what shall not be forgotten here is, that we started 2 ½ hours ago, and slowly started to get a little drunk now.
21:30: We left the Caperon area, we're too weak for those suckers!
21:45: Dome #11, middle matutity Longus on a high density.
The both of us know Longus, but we underestimated the maturity, so the just bite us dead within some minutes.
-pic9-
21:55: Dome #13: Many, many Berycled, biggest maturity. Yeah, was way cool there. We slashed them down really cool, and loot was not good and not bad, which is good: I haven't mentioned it before, but Kehl is the unluckiest player in the Entropian Universe (as far as I have seen). The one and only global he ever had was a 55 PED team global for three persons. When you go on a hunt, you can be sure to loose PEDDERS!
In this dome I also had a cool find, XII iron, yeah!
22:43: Well, there were too much of those Berycled and we died. Now we changed our Katanas to try the other one. Damn, woudn't have thought that the Determinations really rocks that more than the Valor. And it's way larger...
23:30: We went to Biodome #7 to bumb some really big Exars off! That was fun. By the way, meantime the both of us really started to get drunk a lot.
-pic10-
After some time we could start a Pixie harness shop, as those Exars dropped them a lot.
23:50: Yeah, I had my first Global up there, 117 Blausarium. This really rocked now, as I had 30 bombs left and allready made profit (with mining, hunting you never make profit with Kehl.
I also did a little video from this Global.
-pic11-
-video2-
The next hour we went on slaying Exars...
01:12: Wuuaa, we lost the connection. Really bad thing. It too us long to find out what the problem was, but in the end it tuned out to be Kehl's mic cable which wasn't switched in anymore... At this point we were REALLY drunk and I have to trust in my hasty notes written on a beer soaked sheet of paper.
1:20: Well, we got connection again. There was not much sense in continue hunting and I allready spent all my bombs (nothing since that global).
So we went to the CND disco to have some fun there. By the way, we both had playlists with some Hard Rock, Metal stuff in there...
For the disco, I was very dissappinted. Noone was there. Only the both of us and a bored auctioneer. But for those who want to take a look, I shot some videos there, too...
-pic12- -pic13- -video3- -video4-
2:00: We decided to go to bed, as we were totally done...
Okey. This was my first trip to CND. And definitely not my last. It's really fun up there, you can believe me!
Now, I'm missing a word... I looked it up and found „the swells“. I don't know if it's right there, but what I mean is: wow, Kehl and me felt like not really belonging to this asteroid society up there. When you walk around you feel like just meeting guys with suits which cost as much as I spent since I'm in PE. When a miner comes past the earth is shaking without interruption, I estimate they throw as much bombs as I had for the evening in 15 minutes.
But... I will fly there again, that's for sure...
