The Next Hutton Truckers giant convoy

Deth Jesta · Jan 27, 2017

This sounds like awesome fun.
I'm currently at Sag A so not sure if I'll be back in time to join in the party

Assuming real life doesn't get in my way I hope to be back in the 'bubble' to join in.

Any other 'independent' pilots interested in winging up? I usually play alone, but this might be more fun as a wing! - PM me.

...everyone needs to make a stop there and if needed, follow fuel rats procedures for refuelling. The rats will have nominated refuellers so make sure they are on your friends lists.

I'm not sure if you're talking about your own refuelling service or The Fuel Rats, but as of yesterday no one had contacted the Fuel Rats about anything. From the procedure you've indicated, I'm assuming it's your own guys, but not sure.

Vingtetun · Jan 27, 2017

We are hoping they will join us as before. I have put out a message via the frontier trip-e contact we have but not heard anything back....

If the rats from last time aren't available we can cover it but would love to have them along again as per the last 2.

Craith · Jan 27, 2017

i can't pass on a chance for done decent Teabagging ... especially if we can make up for the missed 749 bottles of the past.

I'll try to at least help with loading and unloading ... depending on the time I won't be able to play it all ... afternoon belongs to the kids.

Bret Riverboat · Jan 28, 2017

Remember we can get you all into wings if you are new to the game and/or multiplayer.

Pop your name down with preffered role and we can hook you up with others.

A wing leader will have to have teamspeak to be able to coordinate with their group.

CMDR Jasmine Massii here, reporting for duty!

Err, well... Maybe not so much... ARRRR! I'll pirate ye all!

Seriously, I'm in, as a pirate. First such event I will be taking part in, and I hope it's as fun as it sounds.

#fortheloot!

Question about piracy, Does it have to be done BY HATCH BREAKERS?

Since I'm a fairly know Pirate and I don't agree that hatch breakers are the best choice.
I would never blow anyone that is non compliant up (unless in a fight where the trader actually ) and I always aim for the thrusters to disable ships(this BTW IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE way of piracy in game).

Is it ok for your convoy or will it generate too much salt?

Julio Montega · Jan 28, 2017

If it isn't happening during come week, i'll pass.
RL and stuff.

Ra'Kaan · Jan 28, 2017

Sounds like a fun time! I'll try and finagle some Zoink's Wing participation.

For the MUG!

Uchuu · Jan 28, 2017

Count me in. PC Player. It will be my first Hutton run.

My yellow space taxi Python is ready to serve and looking for a wing.

Hatchbreakers are a handy signal of intent to loot rather then just burn, so would help distinguish you from the run of the mill murderer and make the trucker more likely to comply, however demands over comms may be just as effective.

Vingtetun · Jan 30, 2017

all genuinely intended and fun piracy is part of the evening's shenanigans - the players joining in open are aware it might happen and indeed, cater on it happening to some extent.
Obviously, there are BOUND to be some nasty types, which is why we're all going armed for bear - but a well managed pirate operation with rewards at the other end for whoever steals the most of our cargo and sells on a black market at the destination.... well, that's only to be applauded.

Last time, the pirates were "self policing" to an extent and entered a pact to blow up anyone giving them a bad name.

Actionman2222 · Jan 30, 2017

This sounds like fun.

I'd join in on Xbox. Taking my Conda, Type 7 or Python, whichever ship takes my fancy to use. CMDR - Actionman2222

Hauler or to do re-fuels.

yeah i have a FEW of them

this area all macro

Ahoy! I'm the Great Pirate Greedy Raider! Stop your ship!!! I'm Here for the cargo, your destruction is up to your compliance!!! Got it?

Ahoy!!I'm Greedy Raider, And you are my target! Make things easy, I dont need to kill you, just want your cargo! Copy?

Yo Ho, ahoy and avast,Being a pirate is really badass!Hang the black flag at the end of the mast!You are a pirate!

I demand you to DROP (ABANDON) 5 ton of your cargo!! After that you are FREE to go!

At last! THE BATTLE HAS ENDED !!! Are you ready to comply to my demands?

DON'T reboot your ship! Doing so will be seen as an act of continuing the fight. Drop the cargo THEN reboot!

CMDR it has been a pleasure to be at your company. My rules demand that I don't attack you for 24 hours. So, safe travels.

If you can't see me, that doesn't mean i can't shoot you.

Is it a comet? Is it a sensor malfunction? No it is the person who will give you 5 seconds to comply.

My ship has been scrubbed with Vanish Oxy-Action.

Here is a hint! Keep your hands from the controls, your ship is safer on auto-pilot.

Frank · Jan 31, 2017

I'm going to repost my request for wing members, but with Cmdr Heartfield's template..

- experience: PVE combat

- preferred role: freighter/fighter

- ship: Anaconda with an Imperial Fighter on its back

- Looking For Wing

- response to a pirate attack: They'll have to prise those mugs from my cold dead hands, and considering my fighting skills, there's a good chance that's how they'll get them.

- Comms: I don't have Teamspeak but I'm happy to use Discord, or the game's comm system

CMDR Heartfield, I'd be happy to have you in my wing if you are happy enough with my suicidal frame of mind.

Anyone else want to be in the losing wing? Having me as a wing member is a great excuse for failure. I need someone who has teamspeak who can coordinate with the fleet admiralty

Cmdr Steele · Jan 31, 2017

o7 Vingtetun you forgot the E on the end of my commander name. It's CMDR Vanion Steele. Just thought i'd mention it in case anyone is trying to add me as a friend ingame, cheers.
