End of the Road

Amazing story. Well done!

[Iron Orchid]

Excellent news - Hats off for Chiggy for making the trip and completing the rescue and Macedonia for keeping his nerve.



(Does anyone do a lightweight mining laser?)

Epic rescue!!! Can't rep the both of you enough, shame. Best ED forum thread EVER.

Hat off to Chiggy, who rushed to the rescue in no time (but a lot of effort I bet) not even knowing if going there would help. Chiggy is hero material. And I'm glad he got there in time, so cmdr Macedonia didn't get farmed for Chemical Manipulators by some evil commander.

This is really great. Well done!

We'll find a way of marking this.

Yeah, I'm like 90% sure the devs are paying attention to this thread.

I suspect it will be something like a GalNet story, rather than the ability to jettison and exchange materials, right?

Lølwüt?

Michael Brookes and server dude posted here earlier, and David Braben's comment is the post before yours...

An awesome rescue - well done!

There will be a tourist beacon :-)

A couple of system name changes, and maybe a tourist beacon + GalNet & Newsletter story is my bet.

Hehe, ninja'd by axewookie himself.

Below is the recording of the twitch feed - 90% of it is just me drifting about waiting for Chiggy so ignore that. I think there's about 45 minutes of us mining and then the eureka moment. I left the twitch channel but forgot to close the broadcast so the remainder of the recording is just a screen filler. Ignore it also:

o7 to all.

Some highlights ...

• Chiggy arrives : 1h28m
• Mining commences : 1h45m
• GERMANIUM! : 2h03m
• F-bomb cr*p cr*p cr*p YES! : 2h04m
• Jumping out of hell : 2h24m

Having kept up with this thread and then watched the rescue like on the twitch stream I've got to say that I found it surprisingly intense. I can't imaging how it must have felt to be Commander Macedonica, although you do get a sense from his reaction when he finally scooped the illusive germanium!

Commander Chiggy though... what an absolute hero!

[Ferret06]

Outstanding!
