Just remember: " It's not the destination, but the drive there! "Taking off now. Heading to Hutton on my 2nd monitor. Just to see what all this hoopla is about,
Yes. And entirely optional! [up]Apparently it's 'fun' and a 'challenge'. Like something really boring is too.
Yes. And entirely optional! [up]
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![]()

If it works as it used to, you should be down to 10 or 15% paint by the end. What will you be flying?I wonder what the trip will do to Black Friday paint? We'll see in a couple of hours.
Comments like that from Enderby are not optional.![]()
Best ship for the job. Have a good flight.Python. I'm in Alpha Centauri now.
It took me this long to get across a system to one station. ..............
Quite touched re the namecheck sweets x
Now, I wouldn't mind some sort of dumb autopilot which could fly you to a destination if no one interrupts the trip
Thats the one. PC Player. earning Modular Terminals for Marco Qwent. Rough getting the missions that reward them so this was the last one. Its done, but man.
Taking off now. Heading to Hutton on my 2nd monitor. Just to see what all this hoopla is about,
Is it too late to remind you that there are no large landing pads at Hutton?
Also, to reitterate what others have said, it's best to avoid ANY missions to Alpha Centauri.
They can often initially specify deliveries to Al-Din Prospect but then, when you arrive in the system, you'll get a mission update requiring you go to Hutton instead.
At least, with the recent updates, you can now reject alternate delivery targets so that helps a bit.
My question has always been; why can't we target the star behind us after the half way point and increase the speed again because we are travelling away from the targeted item?Yeah, I'm in a Python. Over halfway there. 1867c was my max speed. That's pretty zippy. Slowing down now.
Alpha Centauri and Hutton Orbital are classic systems from the original games. Although I think the station had a different name back then.
FD intentionally left it in.
For regular day to day gaming, it'd recommend avoiding missions to Alpha Centauri.
But! Flying there is sort of a right of passage for some players.
Never been myself. Most of my gaming sessions last less time than it takes to fly there.
