Bring back the bourbon - CG Guide

Bring back the bourbon
.
Thanks to the efforts of CMDR Light Fingers of Sacra Oculus and CMDR Limoncello Lizard a player driven community goal to bribe Federation officials at Mansfield Orbiter to permit Indi Bourbon to be reclassified as a legal commodity (presently illegal) is now underway. To pay off the corrupt Federation officials, please bring illegal rare alcohol to Mansfield Orbiter (details below). If successful, a restored rare trade commodity (Indi Bourbon) will once again become available in game.

The CG is available at Mansfield Orbiter in Epsilon Indi, check bulletin board to sign up

The CG requires any of the following rare commodities to be delivered to Mansfield Orbiter:
.
  • Burnham Bile Distillate - available at Burnham Beacon in HIP 59533 max allocation is 16t, 135ly from Epsilon Indi, station is over 500,000ls away from jump entry point and no large pads
  • Eranin Pearl Whiskey - available at Azeban City in Eranin max allocation is 12t, 53ly from Epsilon Indi
  • Leestian Evil Juice - available at George Lucas in Leesti max allocation is 14t, 109ly from Epsilon Indi
  • Wuthielo Ku Froth - available at Tarter Dock in Wuthielo Ku max allocation is 17t, 192ly from Epsilon Indi
.
Caution all these commodities are classed as illegal in Epsilon Indi so you will incur fine if scanned, however profit made from trading these commodities will outweigh fine should this happen to you ;)

Really looking forward to this one. Many thanks to those Commanders who have put it together, this Rares trader salutes you all!

I think we can expect the usual 'emergent gameplay' to make an appearance, so I for one will be flying something very fast. Fly safe, Commanders, and let's get that Bourbon back on the map. [yesnod]

I am all set to go for this CG - I believe in the legalisation of booze across the galaxy as my avatar will attest to! I wrote a little bit earlier in the CG thread about collaborating to fill up medium long-range ships like the AspX and DBX so that we can smash the CG. There is of course absolutely no obligation to do any of the things I have described below, but it does work remarkably well, and is normally a great laugh, especially at the weekend!

And when I use the term 'tea-bagging' - I mean collaborative loading of medium ships for the benefit of all. If you have not come across any tea-baggers yet, please do not fear us. We may all be a bit weird and such, but we don't condone any naughty behaviour related to the name we hold as a Union of democratic haulers of goods!! On the other hand, if you choose to join in in the fun, we will gladly let you wear the badge of a tea-bagger as created by our awesome CMDR Craith!

So, we normally run in Mobius but many of us will switch modes if it is to help load up - just send me a PM, or a friend request in game etc., if you are unsure of what the hell I am on about, and I will try to explain!

But I hope that the tea-baggers are able to contribute to the success of this CG, so as an unelected 'spokesweirdo', feel free to ask anything you want of course, but no condescension is intended at all.

Here is the post from the CG thread; poke your heads in and you will be welcomed by all!




For the attention of any Tea-baggers and Mr Jupp, Mr Lizard, and any other folks who want to reacquire this boozy rare to the game! I have now got to George Lucas in my newly pimped out golden Asp, and will be running Mr Lucas' Juice for this CG to EI.

Already there have been three tea-bagging legends who have asked me in Leesti if I am there to perform some bagging duties - I had to take a break to get the Pimpmobile fixed up and am just about to get some dinner. However, if any of you wish to perform some bagging in order to ship larger quantities of the rares purely for the CG outcome, then I feel it is only right to chip in and set up some tea-bagging excellence!

As mentioned I won't be back for another hour or so, although I am in game [AFK]. However, as it is a coriolis we won't need to move to the 10km NFZ: I believe it is around 6km or so for this station type. So, I propose that if anyone wants to come and have a go at tea-bagging, then I will happily begin a hosting session! I will be back out the front of Mr Lucas' house at around 18:30 game time, with some booze and limpets; armed and ready to begin loading up other sorts of ships. I suggest Asps are best, or the faithful DBX just because the range is good. And if people are to make the trip themselves, there is another food-rare in Lucas that I can't remember.

Anyway, this is all theoretical based on the number of participants willing to tea-bag it, but it is for the overall progression of the CG and the legalisation of EI Bourbon! I figure a bunch of Asps or DBXs moving into EI full of rare liquors will move the target up quicker than just moving 28T at a time - I obviously chose Leesti because of the rare limit being highest.

If any of the folks from Mr Jupp and Mr Lizard want to come and tea-bag with us, we have previously operated in Mobius, but are open to switching modes to help push this CG to a blinding success. Therefore, please feel free to come and meet up if I am still there, all lonely and heckling the NPCs [ask Ninj ..... !!]. Otherwise, please friend me in game or on here and we can try and arrange some meets. This is of course only if you want to guys as has been the case from the inception of the Tea-Baggers Union, but it is a bit of a laugh, and tends to get interesting on the weekends if nothing else!

Best place as you all know to drum up business is straight out the mailslot, but I will have to check the NFZ distance. I think it is much shorter than normal though so get out and tout for business guys if you want to tea-bag to legalise booze!

Peace everyone, and lets haul some liquor/booze for the benefit of the galaxy!! Cheers,

The Hat




PS: In no way am I disregarding the trade-CG - and I am in no way the king of the tea-baggers union!! It is a democratic collective, and we run on a first-come first-serve basis unless people are really chilled out and don't mind who fills up first [which is normally the case!!]. So good luck on the trade CG as well of course from me, and I hope to see some regulars and new tea-baggers as well. Fly safe y'all o7

Was thinking of visiting the 4 pick-ups in one circuit. I had a quick look here: http://eliteraretrader.co.uk I think I might try: Wuthielo Ku>HIP 59533>Leesti>Eranin>Epsilon Indi
Click to expand...
I just did something similar apart from Wuthielo Ku. And thanks for the link as hadn't come across that yet.
Some notes:
1. It's roughly a 20 minute trip to the outpost at HIP 59533
2. Worthwhile buying the ~4t of Azure Milk at Leesti to take to Epsilon Indi as profit was 9,239 CR/t
3. Burnham Bile Distillate is illegal at Eranin

Just dropped off 17t of Wuthielo Ku Froth at 15,938 CR/t profit.

So after HIP 59533>Leesti>Eranin>Epsilon Indi>Wuthielo Ku>Epsilon Indi
made ~690K CR profit minus a scan at Eranin (19K fine) & Epsilon Indi (90K fine - managed to avoid scan on 2nd visit).

Wow, I am around Epsilon Indi for some time and I had no idea this is happening.
After a while a really cool-looking CG!
Thanks for bringing it to DD. I really ought to check the CG section and GalNet more often. :x

Thank you Hat for your dedication to teabagging. I am currently en-route to Leesti and will help to fill up others with Evil Juice. For anyone new, no compensation is asked for, so whoever wants to be filled up just has to have some cargo space, at least 2 collector drones, and the will to get filled with the evil juice from George Lucas (why am I thinking of Spaceballs?).

It is appreciated, but in no way required to help filling whoever is getting his fill. Great also for new players, since they get a lot of rare, expensive commodities, for free! Aaaand, they reach higher tiers in the CG than they would be able to alone!

Why Teabagging?
Glad you asked:
Every rare has a maximum amount you can get. Leestian Evil Juice has a maximum allotment of 14t, so you will get a random amount (sometimes the amount is fixed for CGs) of Leestian Evil Juice, as long as you are below 14t (you will never get more than it would take you to get to 14). As long as you are not full, you will get a new allotment about once every 10 minutes.

So if a roundtrip to your goal takes longer than 10 minutes, than it is more efficient to add all the juice to the load of a single ship, which then gets it to the target. Alternatively it is possible to bank juice, so you can get your cargo full. So just get out of the station, 10km straight ahead out of the no-fire-zone (to avoid fines), look/ask who is getting loaded, and drop your juice. Or just wait to get loaded, there is no real line, whoever asks can get loaded. If you just want a bank, just ask. Warning: never drop to much Juice at once, if there are more than 20 cannisters in space, the older onces will start exploding!

No, seriously, why teabagging?
Ok, ok, you got me there, the real reason to teabag is to hang around in front of a station, chat with friends and strangers alike, fool around, do some bluenosing, be friendly, be stupid, AND at the same time help to push the Community Goal to higher tiers than otherwise possible.

And why is it teabagging?
Because it all started during the last outbreak of a strain of the Cerberus plague in Nespeleve (Cerberus was an extremly dangerous plague that has caused many quarantined stations in the past, nearly getting out of control. After a tremendous combined affort of the so called ~700 Bast-erds, a cure was finally found: Heike Ceremonial Tea). At the beginning the tiers required looked impossible. But by combining our rares we were able to blow through the tiers and prevent another outbreak.

Is there a catch?
Ah, a clever one. There is always a catch. You will find new friends, have a lot of fun, and get more people in the galaxy drunk.

I teabagged, where do I get my badge?
The badges can be found here in different sizes, if you need another one, send me a PM: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=241522
No, we won't police the use of the badge, its a gentlemen's agreement to only wear one, if you have taken part in a tea-party (Boston, Heike, Leesti, wherever ... not neccessarily with tea either)

Remember, fly responsibly, don't drink and fly, or at least make sure you have insurance!

Well done to the Tea Baggers and thanks for offering to let us join you. I'll be running in Open as usual but deliberately with just 16t of Wuthielo Ku Froth (allocation is 17t), so no hanging about to Tea Bag.

I live for smuggling. If you see a Black Cobra III in Silent Running and heavy armoured, then yep, that's me. Pirates if you interdict me, the most I'll drop is 4 tons, the other 12 I'll keep regardless. Hey you guys/gals have got to earn a living too.

A word to the wise: if 250,000cr profit appeals to you, then it is well worth the 500,000ls to Burnham Beacon.

Me? I don't need the money, I'm just plain foolish when it comes to profit. Fly safe, Commanders, it's awfully quiet in HIP 59533. Maybe too quiet... ;)
