We are here to drink your beer!: A Cobra, 16 tonnes of beer, Jaques, and one nutter of a pilot!

[Deleted member 110222]

I'm going to do a few final lvl 1 rolls tomorrow on my Cobra Mk III. All I use.

This might be the Alestorm I'm listening to, but I've decided that it's time for me to do the insane.

Fly beer to Jaques, for little or no profit, and plot a route through the stars for small ship pilots like myself.

Yes, a Type-6 would be better... But nah. Not me.

I'm going to try and get this beer to Jaques in a sub-25ly Cobra.

I leave tomorrow. November 1st. The aim is to make monthly deliveries of beer to Jaques, and hand in data to him at the same time.

Who said drunks can't contribute?

And I'm serious about the ship choice. The cockpit is glorious.

Rock on CMDRs, rock on.

See you at Jaques, and the beer is on me.

I'll use this thread to chronicle my journey.

This is un-possible commander. You seem to forget that there is nothing to do in this game

Oh boo to the nay-sayers I say!

Nothing to do? Ha! Ultra long distance truck runs to a station many moons away... How can you not go?!

Beer is calling, and I've wanted to become the greatest beer-monger in the galaxy for a while.

 

[Perseus]

Fair winds, Cmdr!
(Don't drink the beer before getting to Jaques).

 

[dynamicbob]

Jaques will gladly take any drunk based exploration data as well

 

[Deleted member 110222]

Come to think of it, I don't need the DSS. Sure I'll miss out on lvl 3 scans... But the data is secondary to me.

 

[Deleted member 110222]

Postponing the trip until some bugs get fixed.

Don't want to fail because of a creepy-crawly.

I had to share the song that inspired this plan. I swear, I'm not a pirate!

Not a pirate? A wench, then?

My secret is out.

 

[Duckfat]

Haha Alestorm. I've listened to these guys to death. I bet they're also responsible for a good deal of piracy.

Monthly deliveries? That's ambitious!

Good luck, safe travels. I arrived at Jaques recently after a long exploration journey in an AspE. I had hoped to hop back into a Cobra Mk III, which is the first ship I fell in love with in this game—but no such luck out here in Colonia, at least not yet. I envy you!

It took me a week to reach Jaques on my Xbox account, using an exploration spec' Cobra Mk III that also has guns & chaff, weighing it down. The result there is a similar jump range to my PC account lvl 1 modified Cobra.

And that week was pretty laid back flying. I plan on going hardcore for the trucking runs.

 

[VR tazbert]

Safe travels Cmdr, it is possible!

Just got back from the Jaunt to Jaques in my 21 Ly Python.
Almost forgot I brought 1 tonne of Jaques stills with me...

Will take a couple of tonnes of beer back with me on the next voyage just to help you out.

fill the cockpit with beer too - you'll need it! (just leave a passage free to the heads...)
