[CCN] The Christmas Carriers Convoy

My cutter is fitted with pulse lasers. The weakest type of weapon. No armour upgrades. That's a defensive trader build not a fighter build. No point leaving the slots empty. On a cutter that weight will not be hitting jump range.
As for RP 128T of coffee is not OOC for someone off to a new life taking whats needed to survive there, like a class 8 FC for future exploring or shields seeing as there is talk of aliens.

Each to his own, I guess.
But you might want to fly as Freelancer or limit your turrets to two. The first page now says 2 lasers or point defenses max for carriers.
 
Mh ok, i will think about it then. Thanks for the reply. :D
Im on it what i should carry with me. Medicine? Or some material to build production machinery from stock in colonia to get them independent. x_x Hm...

A transfership for a Class 4 Minigun and 3 Class 3 Pulselasers would be a bit complicated. Meh x_x

By the way, i can handle 162 Units of cargo. Is it enough?

Edit:
How much to pay for a transfer from bubble to colonia. Lets say a class 4 weapon or class 3? I only have numbers for short range transfers and this calculated to 23K ly... woozie x_x

Transfers to Colonia cost ~131.8% the base price of the item being transferred.
(e.g. a large fixed pulse costs ~60,000 credits, so postage will be ~80,000 credits)

I plan on dropping my weapons (ill fit mining ones instead) and shipping them after I arrive. Is the 133% figure confirmed and documented? I would like to add my modules to a spreadsheet so I can calculate what to fit and what to ship.

Does anyone there have any examples that can be used to confirm shipping cost modifiers?

Side question : I assume you can ship modules that are not fitted to a ship?

Just checked now in Outfitting - I have a module stored in Colonia, and am currently in the bubble - the exact figure is 131.8% (it's possible this varies very slightly depending on where in the bubble you are)

Yes. Doesn't make a difference on price.
 
Pretty excited about this! First community event I've signed up for. Kinda wanted to bring some passengers but I dont think I'll be able to afford a liner by the time the trip starts. So time to bring as much as what I see as completely necessary for any new colony, a decent cup of tea.
 
Hi all,
Just a few words to say : don't forget your return.
You'll go to Colonia with your convoy ship armed, well. It'll not be an issue (as the OP said, until you are not interfering with the escort protocol, its just your pb) because the first part of the travel will be slowly enough to bring there a ship with not a big FSD range. But don't forget that you'll probably want to go back. The heaviest your ship is, the longest your return will be.
 
I'm trying to use Discord, but I'm not finding it easy. I want to send a PM, but it's saying I'm unauthorised. Any ideas?

SORTED but I'm still pants with Discord.

Making the last repairs and modifications to my T7.
Stripping the defensive systems, tuning my FSD for maximum range.

I will be carrying Medical supplies. May the escorts be with us!
 
NEWS

=================

Dry run report.

As feared, instancing is not reliable nor fast enough to allow us to stick to the plan for the main departure event. As a consequence, we will have more beacon ships, hence dividing all participants to several mid-size instances (20, 25 ships tops). The dispach will be done by Souvarine and myself via a chat and voice channel on the Discord. Then you will be taken care of. Security protocol will be simplified. As Escorts will be spread among several instances, I decided to move the event to the FleetComm private group to lessen the risks. I'm sure that at least one instance will do it in Open, if you really want to do it there. At some point we can't fight the software, so I decided to make it easier for everyone, the logistics, the game and the CPUs.

So, basically, the only change for the main event participants is the switch from Open to FleetComm. I remind you to set your Discord roles or you won't be able to access the dedicated text and voice channels on D-day!

This should allow us to form instances in a very short time, without too many instancing issues. The US launch will be coordinated the same way, 6 hours later, by Pendragon55555 and MostlyAwol.

Christmas Carriers Convoy Cyber Monday

Over 300 CMDRs are currently preparing for the CCC to take off on December 2nd. A lot of those CMDRs are currently scouring the known Galaxy to find the commodities necessary to satisfy the Engineer's demands so that they can get some upgrades which could well prove to be vital for this journey.

Meet up on Cyber Monday. Some of you may have commodities you won't need right now and certainly don't want to lug across half the Galaxy, wasting valuable cargo space. Others will be frantically looking for exactly that junk that is currently hogging your cargo racks.

Then there's our escorts. Escort ships won't have the cargo space to do hundreds of transport missions in order to get those upgrades that could save your life. So donate what you don't need any more instead of selling it off for less than what you'd pay for the fuel to cruise into a station.

Or you might be a big trader in a big ship, and even a customs inspection wouldn't notice those few dozen tons of commodities in your vast cargo space. Nevertheless, this is your opportunity to clean out some of that junk before embarking on the long trip to Colonia and do a good deed.

Thread here.
 
if you really want to bring your weapons, bring them, but offline and if you take part in the main launch, be aware that the Escort is not expecting armed Carriers. So they may get a bit edgy.
If last nights trial run demonstrated anything, is that if you deploy your weapons during a meet-up ... you will get a very brief verbal warning, before you are promptly melted. ;)
