Proposed game - galactic pass the parcel...

So, last night, I, and CMDR's Stulli and Allitnil met at a system over 65 Kylies from Sol, and apart from being the first meeting of 3 CMDR's at beyond 65Kylies (perhaps not even done before by 2 CMDR's?), and bringing a very satisfying conclusion to my quest to meet another commander beyond 60Kylies, we also had the first cargo transfer at 65Kylies from Sol.

CMDR Stulli, claiming to offer Eranin Whiskey, dumped 1T of Food cartridges.

In his defence, I would have dumped the food, and kept the whiskey too!

However, this has led me to think, that perhaps we can have fun with this.

How about we play a game of Galactic Pass the Parcel? Basically, any CMDR I meet, I pass it along, who then passes it along tot he next CMDR, and so on, and so forth. Call it a fun way to get CMDR's to meet up in space.

It does, of course, give you a 1T hit to your jump range, and you'll need cargo space to participate. Still, could be kind of fun, and we could basically compile a list of folks who have passed the parcel.

What do my fellow explorers think?

A cute idea - I'd do it if I was out there :)

Well, said parcel could be passed anywhere, the only rule would be that it needs to be done a certain distance from Sol, (so 1000Ly), and it can not be taken to civilised space. Clearly, great care must be taken when scooping, lest one be the person responsible for the destruction of said parcel!

Really like ideas like this. Such a shame there's no way to uniquely craft or tag an item. I love the idea of a unique item being passed from ship to ship for months :)
 
Well, for now, it's the Food Cartridges. I like the idea of it being a low value item, simply so no one is tempted to sell it. Wish we could re-nam eit, but anyway... Perhaps some kind Dev at FD can help us out? Rename it the "Worthless Leathery Egg Box".. or whatever... The Explorers Mantle. Or whatever...

Anyway, Stulli gave it to me... I'm near Beagle Point - who wants it?

Where is Beagle Point? I'd take it and give it to some explorer who may be coreward when I head back to the bubble, but I'm already 4000LY from Sol and headed to Lagoon Nebula as a dstraction in my trip back to Lembava after my failed attempt to reach Sag A*

Beagle Point is about 65k Ly from Sol - on the far side.of the galaxy. I can't remember the exact system, but if you type in Ceeckia into the galaxy map, it'll take you tot he general area.

It's a looooong way!!!

Then I can't, gotta get to Lembava to sell the info I got and repair my ship or buy a better ship

I like this. I would happily get involved. I will need to adapt my Deep Space variant of the DBX but it should be do-able.

I quite like the idea that cargo is a Rare item - perhaps one of the rarest of the Rares?

Not much hope of a rare item - it's a food cartridge, I have it, and it's a spur of the moment thing. It has already travelled at least 65k Ly (I dare say, far more...) - which is further than any food cartridge has any need (or right) to travel. As I said, I quite like that it is something cheap... Saves the temptation of selling it. If I can get it re-named, however...

Now it is that absolutely rare food cartridge, with the special seasoning of a system far far away ;)

I do not know the exact range of the journey the Food Cartridge has traveled until the cargo transfer, but I estimate it was about 120k LYs altogether.

Overall, that´s a very nice idea you had :cool:
