First Large Apollo Orbis Station finished by "solo" Commander?

[Einar Donarsson]

It is finally done. It was basically Eat, Haul, Sleep since patch dropped. I wrote "solo" in marks because i had a Legend helping me in sourceing roughly 40k of Materials, most of it CMM Composites. Huge Thanks to Commander Flibblesan 07

Ship used: Imperial Cutter 728 Tons of space. I basically lived on the SCO, boosting away from Gravity Wells and Planet surfaces when Jump Targets were ubscured.

Carriers were largely useless due to the Jump times of one Hour+

Overall i should say: don't do it like me, it feels like a chore after a while and stops being fun, do it in your own time (within the time frame allowed ofc).

Edit: I am not sure if i am the first Commander or just the first "solo" Commander to finish a Large Station. I haven't seen anything reported yet.

Edit 2 to apease hypercritical Voices: Mostly Solo. I did roughly 210000 Commodities out of roughly 250000 needed.

Congratz on your station.

(But you did have help)

Which is why i wrote "Solo" in marks.

Congratulations, it must have been arduous to basically solo the delivery of construction materials. Makes me glad I went for just building an Outpost to begin with. Got that done in three days of fairly intense hauling.

Why act like "solo did something..." when it was in fact not solo at all? Title basically amounts to 'click-bait'.

 

[[VR] Mad Mike]

from what you have said it was a team of 2... which is still impressive but it wasnt solo.

 

[Trailing]

I solo'd a Coriolis, which is a T2 though. Also wasn't very fun.

 

[Rat Catcher]

I solo'ed 56% of our Coriolis before my friends had time to kick in with help, the last 44% romped by with 4 of us on the job!

Eat? Sleep?

What an amateur!







Jokes aside, well done you!

Should i have written Mostly solo instead of "solo" to make you happier?

 

[Kzak]

Congrats! That's some serious hauling right there.

I'm surprised I managed to move so much cargo for this station. I muted the game sound and had Spotify playing in the background. It was quite relaxing hunting down CMM Composites etc

 

[Einar Donarsson]

Wow with 4 people i would have been done in like 2-3 Days.

It certainly helps... (we completed the station Saturday early evening UK time)
That is what friends are for, isn't it?

Ship used: Imperial Cutter 728 Tons of space.

Given that the Cutter can hold 794 tons of cargo, one has to wonder how many back-and-forth trips you would have saved if you had used all of the modules space for cargo racks.

Maybe, like me, they enjoy flying with shields?

Shields are just a waste of module space.

The Cutter has very effective ways of defending itself from damage without a shield - called the hull, which is very useful for quick landings, right on the nose

Does it defend from NPC pirates? (or even other players)

For you, maybe...
