No not really, I never said alcohol is not a poison where as Count said alcohol is not a drug. :D Semantics eh?

And yes we're both right....

Alcohol isn't a drug by definition, but it is classed the same because it has the same effects. Like TV can be classed as a drug because it also causes physiological effects and addictive qualities, but it's not actually a Drug... as such...

[EDIT - ^ Still roleplaying being a pedantic sort :) ]

Anyway, haven't we all got better things to be doing than typing this drivel, much as it might be cheering some passers by up. If our PCs are on then shouldn't we be moving Onion Head and not gassing?

BACK TO THE PLOT!

***

BTW - technique for running Onion Head.
* Get your method/route/ship sorted out
** Choose your favourite Sci-Fi
*** Have a 'Power Hour of Runs' - see how much OH you can run in one episode of *your favourite sci fi*
**** Keep trying to beat your own record for running OH in a single episode.

Rinse/repeat etc

See you in the slot :)

I'm a regular top 5% contributor, but can we please have an end to these weekly "help us at the CG!" threads? We have a sticky in this very forum, people know about the CGs if they're reading this forum.

Very true. I think people were just messin'.

I agree with the Count, shift some OH, people! Let's get us a new rare with a high supply! :)

What kind of drugs are we talking here? Wiki says Onionhead is a psychedelic, but people say also that about pot. I don't mind shipping a bit o' pot, maybe some LSD, but I can't get on board if it's poorly cut heroin harvested by slaves. =]

The reason for this CG is that a local faction wants to mass-produce Onion Head at a very high quality and with purely organic methods. There is a high demand for Onion Head. If there is a new source of high quality Onion Head there are less reasons to sell or buy Onion Head from dubious sources - you never know what's in that stuff.

If we manage to reach a high tier in this CG we will make the galaxy saver for those who want to use Onion Head.

Thanks. That's not far at all. Now to decide what ship I'll bring to the party. I can be on in about an hour and a half. I'll be leaving the clipper and either going with Cobra or Courier.

I have a soft spot for the Cobra decent jump rang, cargo hold and speed,,, perfect smuggler to my eyes.... Shame I left mine parked at the top edge of the bubble... I hope she's not getting too dusty.
will have to take the sidey taxi up there and fetch her

And there is a way to 'potentially' up the average of the 8 maximum.

The Commodities refreshes every 10 mins. You have a total maximum of 8.

If you wait 20 mins you get 8, leave dump to your wing man, go back in for more, the market refreshes on its own clock; every 20 mins you fill your partner with 8 tons.

HOWEVER:

This is a random generator, but it isn't quite random. It will never give you more or less than 8 on the second refresh.

e.g.

Dock, and go to the market, o there's only 2 tons of OH. :( Wait ten minutes and magically 6 tons appears.

That pattern repeats; if thee is 3 when u dock, 10 minutes later there will be 5 and so on.

So you can play this to our advantage, but it only works if people team up, the more the better. 1 sitting with 3 ratting would generate much higher numbers of OH.

If you get a number higher than 4 on the first dock, leave and give dump it, dont wait for the second lot to turn up.

For instance - I got 7 once when I docked - so I left and gave that to my wing man. On the next refresh, I had an empty hold, it gave me 5.

7 - leave (7)
5 - leave (5)
2 - stay (2)
6 - leave (8)
3 - stay (3)
5 - leave (8)

[EDIT]

7 - leave (7)
3 - stay (3)
3 - leave (6)
2 - stay (2)
2 - leave (4)*
6 - leave (6)
7 - leave (7)

* I was contemplating whether it would give me anything after another ten minutes, the theory is that it would but i bottled it and didnt want to wait ten minutes for nothing... for the sake of science i should have stayed, I am sorry.

... then start having anamolous problems with cannisters... post to follow....

[EDIT]


That's the pattern I got when I tried this just now (Peregrinus patiently waiting outside!, so I got an average of 9.3 per 20 mins, rather than 8.

You could leave after every refresh, but chances are you will get two small number in a row. If you stay on a small number,you'll get a big number to take you up to 8.

I'm still 'collecting data' especially on the market refresh times.

This is the odd glitch we have just had.

View attachment 77348

Me and Peregrinus teamed up, he was sat out the station and I was running OH outside to him.

BUT some of the cannisters started behaviing a bit odd.

The drones picked them up, but wouldnt put them ion the hold. Trying to do it manually the cannister kind of 'ghosted' right through my ship!

My wing man couldn't see the cannisters I could see, and vice-versa - BUT we could both see 7 cannisters of OH floating around us.

Trying to get some video of this! Probs needs a bug report post? And there's 7 cannisters of OH floating around in some form of instance null phase space!

I think I remember CMDRs describing this problem before as a P2P issue. Sounds like that actual canisters are in Pereginus's client but your client is ghosting them visually. I'm pretty sure the trick was for the CMDR dropping the load to leave the instance so the second CMDR got get the limpets to function properly. I could be wrong and this might be a completely separate issue. Worth a try though.

We have more anomoulies at the same place.

View attachment 77353
(That is a star in the triangle, my wing man is wheels down INSIDE the station!)

I think his may be related to the ghosting canisters.

We've both logged out and in a couple of times....

Well, the ghost canisters are still there!

And we have a new problem - my wing man is ghosting on my scanner outside the station!

[EDIT]

We are having all kinds of instancing problems now!

Good to see a bit of traction starting.

They say "Don't Drink Drive (it's a washing powder).

But if you need to kill time at Navigator Market in Xelabara, you should challenge for a street race.

Same me route as the Alliance races but just one lap with any CMDR one on one.

Same route...?

A whole bunch of cans that I can't pick up! They 'ghosted' from cans that were picked up - I could interact with them, but trying to get them in my hold, they literally passed right thru the ship! At one point Peregrinus actually got one inside his canopy!

We need a beacon to worn people of rips in the space time continuum around here creating strange phase-space anomalies!

I noticed that. I'll have another delivery in within the hour, maybe two if my daughter can hang an extra hour in crèche (depends on if she napped or not).
Question: where can I sell Kongga Ale for more than peanuts?
Edit: Nevermind. Silly me, it's a return trip bonus :rolleyes:
