I am now less than 15 jumps from Colonia!!

I think it should be renamed The Baboon Nebula.
I was also messing around with my Holo-thingy and I think I'm Kevin Eldon now or Keith Allen.

Maybe Keith Harris? I don't know. I need to get to Jacques bar and settle KnezBP's tab.
I was actually just spying on you in the galaxy map. You're nearly there! No reason you shouldn't make it by next weekend. Assuming you don't get distracted.
 
You'll never approach a landing more gingerly than when your hull is at 2%. Except maybe when it's at 1%.

I noticed the Cobra's paintwork was back to being nice and fresh after I spent the whole trip to Colonia getting it down to 56%. Perhaps because of a recent rebuy incident. I thought I could get it back down by crashing into Jaques Station but all that did was almost destroy my hull and get me another rebuy. That's a shame. I spent a lot of time making my ship look like it had been to war.

I also didn't realise that silent running came with an increased risk of temperature damage.

I’ve been out for a bit; did I miss anything significant ? :)

One vital question that I can’t seem to find the answer to even after an hour of browsing the forum.. Is it possible to buy Odyssey direct from Frontier yet? I think the answer is “yes”, but wanted to check with the fine people in this thread :)
You can pre-order direct from Frontier unfortunately I haven’t got the link to hand.
 
I see from the galaxy map that the Bubble is on fire. I leave you people alone for ten minutes..

Is there a Colonia to Sag A equivalent* to the Colonia Connection Highway?

*I can never spell that word right.
Not that I'd be aware of - but that's only 11 kly through a dense group of stars. Go up (or down) to ~ 1200 ly from the plane and turn on jet cone boosting in the route plotter. You'll be there in one hour.
Or die in the attempt.

Edit: just checked. The DSSA has one carrier about halfway in:
NECFC Huginn [Q9V-W3G] (Odin's Hold)
Schee Flyi DN-I d10-8604
(Refuel, Repair, Armoury, Redemption Office, Shipyard, Outfitting, UC)
(DSSA Fleet Carrier)
23,356.57 ly from Sol

Yep, just go to https://www.frontierstore.net/

Assuming your current game is not tied to Steam or Epic, that is.

I've never tried jet cone boosting but I've seen it in the galaxy map. What's that, again?

One hour does seem very optimistic though. I'm thinking 'die in the attempt' would be the most likely end scenario.

But thanks for the carrier tip.
 
Tanya is now King of everything in Empire space.

Might as well max out the Fed rank too before all the burning stations disappear.

Traded up all the grade 1 and 2 manufactured materials, and after doing 'several' salvage sorties into the burning stations they're back up to 50% full.

I think after max Fed rank I'll get her to max out engineering mats.
It's all about the max with Tanya! :ROFLMAO:
 
Jet cone boosting is a lot of fun, nowhere near as super dangerous as it sounds(*), and can get you places Really Fast. I’d highly recommend it :) It really adds some fun game play to exploring, in my opinion.

It does knacker the FSD after a while, so it’s a good idea to have an AMFU with you to repair it occasionally. Though this isn’t an issue if you are local-ish to the bubble.



(*) Except at white dwarfs. Give them a miss.
