38 mins to deliver to Hutton - is there any point?

Too much procedural generation does not work well.

You took a mission going to Hutton for only paying 3000cr? Crazy....

I have a 2000cr bounty to pick up there, gained whilst hooping through the system on my way to other systems. eeeeeally not worth my time.

The bounty can be picked up from that other station in the system, al-Din Prospect, only 5200 Ls away from the drop-in point.

If you unlock hutton from your destination but still point at it you still decelerate I have not tried with Hutton but other systems that have far away docks.

Dang it

there goes that idea. I suppose if it didn't decelerate, it'd over shoot anyway. Then you'd just end up doing the biggest loop-of-shame ever.

And on that note I want a Hutton mug for my dashboard not some silly letters, heck they can make it steam when I get close to a star and keep steaming afterwords.

See, now that I'd pay for! It'd be great to have that mug on the dash and watch it steam up when you went into super cruise.

If you keep your top speed below 1,000 you will not incur the hull damage that occurs while traveling there. The trade off is that it takes that much longer to get there. Alt + Tab to Netflix but remember to keep one eye on the game so you can reduce your throttle accordingly.

I don't remember it being even close 90 minutes.... Are you guys sure it is that long?

It's between 45-60 minutes depending on your throttle. How did you guys manage that 80-90min travel time?

Considering the amount of mug request FD must get, it should be on the drawing board already.

100% throttle from Alpha Centauri A to about 6 seconds ETA to Hutton Orbital, clocks in at about 85 minutes every time.

Could you make a video where it takes 45-60 minutes?

If you want to know the origins of the mug, look here.

http://huttonorbital.com/HuttonMug.aspx

It was implemented later as a result of a poll to determine a new rare. It then became a community goal to ship materials there. Us hutton truckers are a rare breed for whom hutton orbital holds a special place.

I love Hutton Orbital, I've been there lots. Even in a ship that I can's actually land with.

I've never been able to understand why some ships aren't faster than others in SC.

FSD acceleration isn't limited by the mass and max power of the travelling ship, instead top speed is limited by the surrounding masses of the stars and planets, which gets higher as you move away from them. Practically, this results in ships having very similar accelerations in SC, regardless of mass.

Yeah they need a micro jump for that one.

Well if you're a student, then the hutton run is very handy.

Jump into system.. aim at Hutton, throttle 100%, go study for an hr, correct course slightly, spend 30 mins writing out answers, dock ship... profit

<<did the Hutton run once, spent 5 mins flying and 85 mins wondering what the self destruct button did...
