You're not alone. I've heard "for the mug" over and over, but I don't know what it means.
Fire up the game and go take a read on the distance from Alpha Centauri main star to Hutton Orbital.
No, that number's correct.
The mug is in reference to an item that was created as a rare ingame for that station, in honour of the extremely resilient CMDRs who've made this run. It's a rite of passage for long-distance space truckers.
Honestly I don't understand half of what I read here. I've never seen a forum use SO MANY acronyms lol
Not an acronym, a vessel for drinking coffee (or centauri mega gin) from
Hint: Hutton Orbital has two rare items for sale.
Oh my.... No I certainly do not, and if you give me a moment to remove my foot from my mouth. .... ok there.... Had no idea there even was a station THAT far out.
In the oldendays before being able to even remotely check mission status beforehand, Hutton Orbital was a surprise from behind with no grease for many a pilot. After all the initial trauma, the community spread the word like HERE BE DRAGONS on the spacemap; and then folks that eventually became the Hutton Truckers started running it on purpose as an Everest kind of thing.
Should be called the Netflix mug.
It would have been cancelled after season 1.
Www.huttonorbital.com ;-) 2000 crazy commanders, two rares, 1 official hughmann theme tune, 1 24 hour a day radio station and to date 83 live broadcasts every Thursday night ;-)
For The Dog!
You paid real money for those?
They can't be bought, only earned.
Ha, same thing happened to me - was looking for modular terminals for MQ - and then got a mission to Hutton Orbital.

Thing was, this was after I already had 24 Modular Terminals and was just waiting for the invite - but then got killed before I could drop them off. Fun times...
.That's the same mug, I just combined 3 pics to show the whole pattern on it.
And no, I didn't buy it, I won it in a raffle related to the CG.
It all started with a community goal for an in game rare mug that was first heard of in an elite dangerous podcast called Dockers (NSFW) which was a parody mockumentary with uncanny similarity to a space station in Barnards Star and some games development staff.
During the community goal there was live music streaming, parody adverts, cover songs, and a radio station was born. Then there was a player faction, lots of fun & calamity, a Facebook group, Discord, twitch, daily missions, in game convoys, base attacks, planet side races, and of course weekly live broadcasts, not too mention the 24hr DJ slots on the station. All for the Mug! and general mayhem
