Sometimes I just like to hit random glyphs to see where the universe decides to send me, I feel random portal travel has been underused, mostly because of the 'portal interference' thing. But now that it's gone, it's actually worthwhile. I have a portal base just for easy access.
I refused the first exotic I saw because it didn't match my color scheme and couldn't find another for countless hours. But finally my second S class I've ever seen is free, matches my color scheme, and on a lush planet. So excited to pimp it out.

Origins changed my dead son's memorial planet into "The Nest"

I discovered the planet with my son's name like this...

So I renamed it to his full name.

It went from the lovely planet in picture #1 to this.

They keep coming back!

I managed to clear enough of them away to get a decent photo.

At least the glowing turtle is nice!

Backstory - last November 6th, my son was struck and killed by a vehicle while he was walking home from school. It was the toughest thing I've had to deal with and I'm still not over it. He was only 25, a talented artist and a really tough survivor of life. And he loved cats.

Fast forward to August 8th - I'm starting to travel through all the galaxies and I've just went through a black hole in Calypso to take me 605kly away from Center, to the Uruokawac system. There, I find a planet called "Victor Sudo." Victor was my son's middle name.

It was a decent enough planet, hot storms sure, but Vincent Victor had "hot storms" of a temper sometimes too. I decided to make it into a kind of tribute. I named it after him, I put up a base called "In Memory of Vincent Victor", added enough pieces to allow it to be uploaded. I got the Portal address off of the photo mode and shared them with the rest of the family. Maybe they'd want to pick up the game and come visit some day.

I planned on when I was done with going to all 255 galaxies, I'd come back and build something that said "Vincent Victor"... something he'd like.

Well, today was that day and what I found... "The Nest". The planet was turned into one of the infested worlds.

It was a gutpunch. It brought me to tears. Something I'd hoped to have as a little corner of this virtual galaxy for my son, now looks like... well... you know.

I burned out the area around the base, clearing off all the infestation growth. It was cathartic in a way. I flew off to my freighter, came back, and more had grown back, so I burned that too. I guess I'll have to clear it up everytime I want to come back.

I kinda think, in some strange way, Vincent would think it was funny, or maybe even cool. He had a quirky sense of humor. I miss it. I miss him.

I'm not sure why I'm posting this here. I lurk a lot, chime in a little, but I enjoy the sharing and I thought that if anyone could maybe sympathize a bit, y'all could. I know that it's just the luck of the deal - procedural generation and numbers and all that, but damn if this didn't in some way feel like a little loss heaped on top of the loss last November. Something I'd hoped the family could share, even if just virtual... and now it's ... well... this.

And maybe if there's a way I can somehow convince Sean to tweak those procedural numbers so Vincent's memorial planet isn't quite so infested... well... that would be nice too.

See you around the galaxy. Be safe. We're not promised tomorrow.

(edited to add - sorry about the way the pics posted, I was hoping it would be a gallery. If you can tell me how to make into one, I'd be grateful)

(edited to add - I submitted a bug report to HG. Maybe something will come of it?)

(8 Oct 0755CDT) Thank you so much for sharing a moment of your time and thoughts for Vincent. I'm really overwhelmed and grateful and humbled by your caring and the kind words. He does live on, and even if nothing comes of this - which is OK!! - at least for those moments, he lived on. Maybe that's a deeper lesson for me to chew on while I play this game.
