Hutton Orbital knows the joke

it would be kind of funny if, when someone drops out of supercruise in a large ship near hutton orbital the air traffic controllers actually have a laugh at you with some funny dialog. approaching within 7.5 km docking range would result in unlocking a hutton mug cockpit decoration. the mug would say "i flew 6,784,404 light seconds and all i got was this lousy mug!?"

good times.
 
Nice Christmas here taking that message for Hutton orbital start with 2days and now descent to 1 h 30 min ..I can't believe my potato ship
 
sorry for the topic necro but it occured to me that the joke is a free anaconda if you go to hutton orbital yes? why not have that unlock the anaconda bobble decoration when you go there in a large ship? it's still a joke but makes it technically true. XD

That's all pretty much irrelevant now when anyone can do the trip in a Fleet Carrier, people would be running carrier trips backwards and forwards just for friends and paying guests to get the bobble head.

a 5 billion credit ship seems like an expensive way to skip a flight. just my opinion but i would rather just fly it. and its a just a small decorations so who cares?

Players will care, indeed some players who actually fly the distance will complain loudly if others get a free ride and get the same thing they got for their 30+ minute super cruise. Yes I know it seems bizarre, and I could care less, but others will complain, because that's what people do!

let them complain. if somebody else getting a free hud decoration in a cheaty manner is enough to make the game not fun for them, they were probably not going to stick around anyway. XD but i understand your point. still if i worked at FDev i would put this in and just roll my eyes and ignore the complainers. you make or ruin your own fun in this game.
 
Sadly the Fdev asset boffins have decided that cacti is what the people really need.
I like my potted cactus. I wish we could add string lights, plants and other little knick knacks to the inside of our carriers. I also wish that on victory, drake and fortune class there was a small "roadway or tram" (to either drive your SRV or board a train)from the rear of the carrier to a very small area consisting of "quarters" for you and your team. They could just pull it from a settlement as the assets already exist. On nautilus it would be a much shorter "corridor" to the observation deck in the front that would consist of the same thing. Tbh i wanna drive my SRV the 2 miles ~3Km from my bridge to the front. In an SRV. Maybe once they add NPC SRVs they couod have your crew going in and out of "hangars/quarters" along the length of the carrier to add to the "mobile city" feel, seeing them either boarding the train to various "stations" (4 stations allowing for access to large landing pads and a walkway to same stations from smalls and mediums).
It doesnt have to be super complex but it would really add to the fact that your carrier has between 3,000 and 5,000 crew living and working on board. Passing npc SRVs on your way to the front or your landing pad or stopping at stations to pick up or drop off your crew (could be disabled for a single stop from bridge to front or your station to access your pad if selected destination) all the assets for this could be pulled from existing ones. But as your carrier is your home and has a town's worth of people living on board would be neat to be able to really feel the size and scupe of these space cities image 1: the roadway or train line could go in the grey area between large pads with corridors between pads 2 and and 6 (second from bridge) to access mediums and smalls
