Free Anacondas?
Free Anacondas?
You think i'm stupid
What is it actually for
Free Anacondas?
To be fair I think it is just one of those endeavours that people do to say 'I did it'.
Of course, it is also used to trick some players into thinking some form of award/reward is there when you accomplish the journey. I think one person has posted on the forum within the last month about not getting an Anaconda.
It's a joke and not done maliciously, but more for a bit of fun and a right of passage thingy.

Back in the 22nd century, lived a man called Humphrey Hutton. His head was so massive, that it had a gravity field that could compare to an Earth size planet. The orbital orbited around Humphrey's head, until it fossilised into a planet now called Eden.

It's just a station like all the rest.
Home of the Hutton Orbital Truckers Co-operative.
It sells the Hutton Mug rare commodity.

Also it's there to generate merlot and salt from those players that don't bother to read the mission description properly.
It is just an outpost type station at the nearest star and world outside our solar system.
It is also a nod to the station there in Frontier: Elite II, as are several other names some from even further back such as Lave.
It sells a couple of rare goods and is home to a large player faction.
It is a location to visit or not for your entertainment in the game as the fancy takes you.
It is used by some to haze new players who aren't paying enough attention.

You have to go once
should i do it today
If you want. Remember... there is no free Anaconda. Or... is there?
Keep an eye on the time, it takes a while to get there.
Yep. ~45 minutes real time. Probably enough time to squeeze in an epi of The Expanse.
In 1993 Frontier: Elite II placed a planet called Eden in orbit around Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C) - this planet was later (2016) discovered to actually be there.
From Wikipedia about Alpha Centauri:
So the original research station has been retained in the game.
It is not Frontier's fault that nature has created a system where Proxima Centauri is so far away from the main stars which it is gravitationally bound to.
BTW - there is actually an Anaconda in the station - so far nobody has worked out how to extricate it:
Edit: This is a different outpost, Hutton is a different type and has no ships under that canopy. Sorry
From Wikipedia about Alpha Centauri:
- Frontier: Elite II (1993), Frontier: First Encounters (1995), Elite Dangerous (2015), Computer Games written by David Braben et al. The Alpha Centauri system is the location of Eden, the first extrasolar planet discovered with flowing surface water. Despite this amenity (and its name) Eden is uninhabitable, although a small research station is located there, and difficult to visit, since its starport is 900 to 1000 AU away from the nearest hyperspace jump point.
- In Elite Dangerous, Alpha Centauri is home of the Hutton Orbital Truckers, an in-game player organisation who are based at an orbital platform called Hutton Orbital which lies 0.22ly (Light-years) from the star Alpha Centauri.
So the original research station has been retained in the game.

AX MC's ought to smash through the glass if they have the corrosive experimental*
The trick then is to get your CMDR aboard. Perhaps some hatchbreaker limpets and a carefully launched escape pod.
* this is such a damned lie

Used to be home of a jolly good radio station that provided fine music, good adverts, news broadcasts and, of course, the unforgettable Dockers soap opera. It really was great listening as one hauled one's truck around the galaxy.
P.S. If you dig around, some of the adverts and some of the episodes of Dockers can be found on the 'net.
P.P.S. Despite the characters names (e.g the heroine is called May Swallow) Dockers was a perfectly respectable programme that even a maiden aunt could not object to.
P.P.P.S. Well mostly respectable, having the resident pervert called "Fin Gerrin" was a bit close to the knuckle I always thought. But most maiden aunts would understand the ty bits (who wants a McStiffy) so they don't count.
P.P.P.P.S. For the Mug!

Hutton Orbital Truckers Radio is still on the go - it is one of my "favourite" internet radio stations.

Cecil B Trumpington is not only to be found at the bar in Hutton Orbital - he is now in a HCS Voicepack (use at yout peril).
