Now there's something you don't see every day!
No that's for sure, but it is epic though!
Is there a phonebooth outside the FD offices in cambrigde?

Buckyball 8? *drums fingers impatiently on wooden dashboard of new Python*
I think this is how to make good credits in the Antal Community Goal.
* Start Antal. - Buy Land Enrichment Systems
* Go NLTT 57216 Buckey Ring. Sell Material & Land Enrichment System. Profit 1000cr per tonne
* Buy Animal Meat and Tea
* Super cruise to Cenker Hub Station (Same system). Drop Animal Meat & Tea. Profit 450cr per tonne
* Buy Indium and Silver.
* Return to Antal. Sell Indium and Silver. Profit 1200cr per tonne
Profit per trip approx 2700 per tonne + community goal pay out
And you can get allied with the local faction by doing donation missions at Antal
From the Active Community Goals thread:
Please could Bucky try to include Buckey Ring Station (NLTT 57216) in a future Buckyball Run?![]()
The recent update to tidy the GalMap has made a bit of difference to the navigation performance - e.g. I can now use the mouse again to select stars. They also seem to have made the 'snap to target' a bit more aggressive, which is great in the majority of cases but a couple of times I have searched for next destination and the map has suddenly flicked from the searched for star to one under the mouse cursor...even though I am only using keyboard controls. This becomes even worse if you are in the process of clicking on plot route - suddenly you are plotting a route to a star at a bad distance...
EDIT: and exit map still doesn't stop the plot, you have to force-quit or try to log-out to main menu
It occurs to me that in preparation for Buckyball Run 8, we ought to be thinking about getting a decent advert on Radio Sidewinder. Any suggestions?
First thought I had was whether we have any singers in the community who could record a new version of the Cannonball Run theme![]()
Hmm..."At a political rally in Eotiensis today, Senator Denton Patreus spoke out harshly against 'reckless piloting' and 'foolish acts of bravado' from freelance pilots, citing the Buckyball Runs in particular as 'a clear sign of the rot that has infested the youth in today's society'. He vowed to stop the Buckyball Run 8, scheduled for July XX, committing both Imperial and hired freelance ships to stop this nuisance."
Good luck to Ojrac, Freedom4556 and Sarrdis. Looks like you guys have yourselves a race! Keep us posted, last one to Sag A buys the drinks.
Thanks! Not sure about the rest, but I made 4k LY last night. Singed a few systems trying to jump too soon after fuel scooping, but my poor ship's called Smokey for a reason. Looking forward to seeing some more variety as I get closer to the core today!
You don't need to force quit. This is what I did:
1) select a system near you first as your backup plan in case the plot goes sour.
2) Attempt the plot.
3) Wait.
4) If it goes wrong and your game has the FPS of a toaster, close the galmap and just hit the hyperspace button.
5) As soon as you jump, the plot will stop.
You can also stop the plot by plotting a system within one jump of your current system, but this assumes you're not lagged to hell. Good luck!
