[CCN] The Christmas Carriers Convoy

Qohen,

please change my role on the roster: #480, LtCmdrPAC, Freelancer, ASP explorer, SS Pheonix

And I hand in my nomination for the stupidest and dumbest thing on the CCC trip. After realizing that my 12 Ly T-9 is not cutting it and will take me ages to get to Colonia, I decided to follow the recommendation of a fellow CCN wingman to blow my ship up and return to the bubble in a Sidey, saving me 3 days of travel. Unfortunately did I not know, that the insurance is either letting you buy back your ship for some bucks, or giving you NOTHING, should you decide to return to the free Sidey. Blessed are those who can read. I lost my fully fitted T-9 Heavy, worth 240Mil, which will take me at least 6 days of mission running to get the money back in. I should have just done the jump marathon back from Hillary Depot to the bubble. I facepalm myself whenever I think of this stupid move I did. [wacky][wacko]

Sorry for leaving my support role as a Stratotanker. I hope to still be able to catch up in time. I might try the Neutron Highway to catch up.

See you out there, commander!

Thank you for your support! Fly safe!

Most infortunate, Cmdr. Though I did warn you that it wasn't the best decision. Besides, the expedition is designed for that jump range. So by the time you catch up, we'll be halfway, and you'll probably have played more time than if you tagged along ;)
 
Yep, now I know. I should have listened to you.

I enjoy the jump range in the ASP right now. Way shorter travel times. I will do it again in a T-9 but will probably take more time than 1 month.

Fly safe, commander!

Hope to see you back out there with us soon!
 
Having tons of fun so far:
- Flew to Hillary then Amundsen, jonked back to the bubble when I found out my SRVs did not keep their paintjob. 11k ly in a day.
- Wrecked more SRVs than I can remember.
- Tried fighters for the first time. Two new craters near Hillary Depot.
- Skipping off of ships in our SRVs and scuffing those fancy paintjobs and testing those shields.
- Shot the wrong guy in HazRes, got a bounty, my conda toasted and teammates killed (one of them twice. Sorry Skye!). Apparantly you don;t shoot "clean" ships just because they are low on health.
- Launched my SRV 2km straight into the air off of a speeding sidewinder.
- Dropped down from that 2km and only lost 17% health.
- Hit a rock while driving and yet died instantly. Balance™
- Lowered shield on my conda, boosted down from 10km straight into Amundsen Station as a suicide run saying "watch this", lost only 17% of my hull. Security canon took me out in 2 seconds though. Balance™
- Jumped across Amundsen in my SRV. Yes, the whole station. 6000 in fines for blocking docks and loitering on earlier attempts. So worth it!
- Boosted my SRV up, straight into the path of a sidewinder going 500m/s. I did not survive. Sidewinder was like "whut was dat noiz?".
- While flying my conda started to type in chat, not seeing my conda flipped around and rammed backwards into a cliff (-100% shields, -17% hull)
- So much more mischief that I will not go into.


The balance so far: Fines for loitering, -12K. Damaged SRVs, -100K. Insurance on anaconda, -9M. Lost bounty vouchers, -1M. All that fun, Priceless!!!!

Sounds like your 'Conda's name is appropriate :D

Edit: Great shots too. I somehow missed the spoiler button on the first read.

Haha. It's a good thing I sold some modules before I left so I can do more than one re-buy. Something tells me I am going to need it ;)

I wish I could participate, but this time frame simply does not work for me. Maybe I can take part in the next expedition of this kind. (any long range exploration, not just things to colonia). Best of luck to all the commanders making the long trip.

Amazing pics, thank you so much for sharing [up]
 
I am trying to find the neutron highway, but I can't find the list of systems, can anyone help point me in the right direction.
 
***CCC Embroided Patches***
You can now order them. I will order the batch from the supplier (same as the CCN/Rifters patches) once I have payment for 40 of them, so don't wait. If I don't have the funds in a month, I'll call it off and reimburse each and every one of you.

To make sure it happens as it should:


- Use the CCC Order Form below and double-check your info
- Make sure to add your real name in the PayPal order, so I can link the form and the payment!

Anything missing/wrong, it's your loss unless you come to me; I'm not going to chase you around.

You can check the Patches sheet to see who pre-ordered and notify them. The sooner everyone pays, the sooner I can order the batch.

CCC Embroided Patches Order Form

Patches sheet: Here.

=====

I still got a few Formidine Rifters ones left, just PM me if you want one.

Great Shots Commander ;) Safe travels!
 
Just two jumps left until I reach Thor's Eye. Would of got there last night but as I have not seen a BH before in the game - I know I am a terrible excuse for an explorer! I have decided to wait until tonight when the wife will be with me as she's really keen to see it too!
