That's a beast of a rig!

Does it look like this?

Stopped at an active icy moon to gather jumponium for my trip across The Fallows.

Found some new lifeforms stuck to the side of a fumarole.

I got tricked into doing a FOR THE MUG run (seriously?? MUGS???) and after we got the DAMN MUGS I checked the mission board.

Y'all want someone to fly 2 goddamn hours for 9 units of beer! BEER! Can't y'all ask for like 60 units like you did for clothing?!
That's it! Had it with Alpha Centauri! LET THE THARGOLDS HAVE IT!

 

[Marvin the Martian]

Who sends somebody for 9 beers?

It's a 12 pack, a case or a keg. That's it. Those are the denominations.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Or 4 if you're feeling stingy.

Tough power on mission but the reward was something I needed. Scavs inbound on arrival. Dealt with them. Got into the relevant building but it was a large complex with a lot of doors to open and slightly confusing to navigate - but I'd seen this layout before so knew where I was going.

About half-way through, the building started shaking which indicates a ship just deployed a load of grunts.

Sure enough, my SRV was under attack and I was too far in to double back. SRV destroyed. I was bit upset by that so I had to end them.

My ship was almost 1km away too.

You can never predict how a mission will pan out Take nothing for granted...

Still, it's the fastest way to not get a free Anaconda....
I still have not been to Hutton Orbital. I have been to Salome's Reach which is a bit further away.

The Anaconda is done for. They (whoever) remodelled Hutton Orbital and removed the showroom .

If you want mugs (and gin) without having to make the trip yourself, check with the truckers. A few carriers (and larger ships) are offering to drop mugs and gin for 2HOT2MESSY in nearby systems.
Or wait a few of days. I'm currently rebuildimg my rig¹ - if/when everything works again, I'll continue mugging the area around Mirateje (western edge of the Bubble). Once I'm out of Gin, I'll pick up a cargo shuttle Python and try to get a carrier slot around Eden or Proxima. If someone is interested in hitching a ride, I can announce my intention to jump here (but given the parking situation around Proxima, I can't guarantee when or even if I'll actually jump there).

¹ right now, I got the BIOS updated, bitlocker unlocked again ², everything disassembled, the case modded to accept the 360 mm radiator, case cleaned from the dust from the dremel cutting wheel. I may try reassmebling it tomorrow.
² note to self: if you're going to mess with the bios again, print out the bitlocker recovery code before you start. Or finally put it into your password safe.

They're large canisters so hey whose to say the party can't send out for 3/4 dozen kegs anyway?

Or were you thinking more like,

He's not wearing a hardhat, brave man. Was that taken at Hutton Memorial?

Edit: Oops, I got those stupid mugs on the brain.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't taken at Jameson Orbital...

What's going on in and around Proxima? It's one of my factions systems a jump away from my home system.
I'm not online to play until Monday 22nd.

I was talking about Proxima Centauri - the star around which the planet revoles around which Hutton Orbital revolves. I didn't realize until now that there also was a system called Proxima...
