Colonia trip with my new Fleet Carrier Navigation Computer

[Old Duck]

Yes, you're welcome, have the Shipyard installed. No outfitting but that one can be installed on request.

What system are you launching from? I checked Colonia Proper, but didn't find you.

I have enough to get to the Bubble and the less weight the less consumption of Tritium . Better stock up in the Bubble than around Colonia.

Ok, that's fine with me. I'll provide Tritium then when we're back.

What system are you launching from? I checked Colonia Proper, but didn't find you.

If it didn't change since yesterday evening, the Black Pearl should be found in the "row" below Colonia 4, but I didn't check since then

I'm already in Colonia but I'm up for the return journey for sure! My Anaconda has 79ly jump in case it goes wrong, but can you imagine what would happen to a new player in a sidewinder if they got trapped in deep space with stock jump range? (becomes a suicide-winder I guess)

On my trip to Colonia, that's exactly what I flew - a stock Sidewinder, just in case something went wrong. I much rather self-destruct in a Sidewinder than one of my precious engineered mainline ships.

I'm not seeing it...

On my way to Colonia now. Was visiting the Death Planet to enjoy the "White Dwarf"-rise. Be there in like 30 minutes (~17:40 UTC).
Carrier: Black Pearl (LNM-WHZ)

Update: Although the System Map indicated that Colonia 4 was full, I was able to park the carrier there. Will stay there the next 24 hours to receive guests and prepare for the trip.

Black Pearl orbiting Colonia 4 and ready for boarding…

Nice, you got the Victory design for your carrier now, as you said.

2nd Acc's Python Southern Green approaching the Black Pearl...

 

[Old Duck]

I'm aboard and my ships are loaded! A word of advice, I recommend everyone buy and pack a stock Sidewinder "just in case".

 

[Old Duck]

Bye bye Colonia!

Departure in T minus 6 hours. Not sure yet where to park in the Bubble. Guess somewhere close to "HR 5630" or any system with low priced Tritium.
If all goes well with the Navigation Computer we will arrive around 09:00 UTC on Saturday.
Sometime on Sunday I will "decommission" the Shipyard, not sure what will happen with your ships when they are still in the shipyard (I guess the will go to nearest Starport). Maybe better to transport the ships off before Sunday.

Going back any time soon?

BTW, I too plan to build my own "navigation computer" someday when I own a FC, but I want to do it all by myself - that's the FUN part

(So sssshhhhhhh, no spoilers!)

Taking a little walkabout in VR before departure.

Today departing Colonia 4 at 18:00 UTC - destination the Bubble.

Always wanted to play ED in VR but my gaming rig doesn't support VR. Need to upgrade the gaming machine but not sure what FDev is going to do with VR in ED in the future

Asking for squadron mates, seeing if some of those Colonia fools want to hitch a ride to the bubble for action. If you make it a regular thing, I might hop on your next trip out there. This is the answer to the Bubble to Colonia slog.

So how long did it take you with the automated script or whatever?

 

[Susanna]

Uh oh. I sense trouble. Not sure how well received bots/macros are.

Perhaps it would be better if FDev actually included this functionality in the FCs... Just saying!

You mean the trip? 15 hours from Bubble to Colonia or vice versa... 44 jumps x 20 min

Same goes with my graphics mod.
