Community Event / Creation Ed's 38 introduce: The BikkyBall Run

[Raiko]

After taking a look at the leaderboard/spreadsheet, double-taking, and then re-reading the rules, I have to say, "Oh. I see now. Yeah, I can't compete with that."

If you wanted to try running in a tea-bagged conda or iCutter, then I'd be happy to try and help fill you up. If 2-3 of the supply stations go into boom within Asp-X range of each other, it should be quite easy to fill up quickly.

Personally though, as with Drakhyr's BRC: The Long Haul race to Jaques during the initial Colonia CG, I'm just going to try to post a fast time regardless of haulage based scores.

I'll be hauling 40t and using neutron boosts as practice for an A* challenge run - the heavy load will impact my range and there's no Asp-X unlimited A* times for comparison, but I'd be disappointed if it took 3 hours to reach Dunker's Rest (I did The Long Haul in 6h36 with 50+ tons of cargo in the pre-Neutron era).

I'm running a tea bagged cutter now.
Got 360 Hutton mugs on board, and I'm doing a "Me and My Mug" challenge.

Stop off at various interesting places (Mitterland Hollow / Dav's Hope / Thargoid base..etc) and have a mug of tea, before going on.
I'm currently into day 3 of my trip. (I can only play a couple of hours each night).

Appreciated but I can't afford anything like that and in any case, 24 hours from now I won't have access to a computer for about 10 days. I'll have to try at a later date.

Thanks Shrike! I updated the spreadsheet.

Fear not!

Many of the '38 are ready and willing to aid with teabagging (as we call loading rares to one ship from another) if you wish to attempt a more heavily laden run!

Come on folks. The BikkyBall awaits more runs.

 

[pauledarcher]

I am about to embark on a Bikkyball run , time to earn my Dunker rank
Currently loading up with all the teas and mugs in the bubble.

 

[millstonebarn]

Good Luck Paul Archer!

 

[pauledarcher]

Having fun, half way there. Night stop over in Skaudai CH-B d14-34
Should have done this sooner

 

[millstonebarn]

We don't do it for the numbers, but massive congratulations to Paul for putting in the highest Bikky Points/hour. He's our new leader.

Thank you o7

Making the BikkyBall run was so much fun , I think I'll be doing it again real soon in varied builds

 

[millstonebarn]

Ed's 38 Squadron might be a thing. Soon.

Ed's 38 Squadron might be a thing. Soon.

Ah - will Ed be the Squadron leader and will there only be 37 (or is it 38?) other members of the Squadron?

.... inquiring minds need to know...!
