Moving my Carrier to Colonia

[Bigmaec]

### arrived at Colonia ###

### Services are reopened ###

### return trip is gonna be a slow trip with lots of stops for Tritium mining and Explo/Exobio ###

X5K-9KF "Mountains of Madness" will move from Matlehi* to Colonia** later today, to support the Colonia side of the current Community Goal.
Departure is as soon as I filled it with TCU, propably around 18:00 UTC.
Guess we'll arrive there sometime tomorrow evening.

No need for Tritium donations, rather bring a full hold of TCU or other CG commodities along.

So if anyone needs a ride, be my guest. Bring a fuelscoop, it's not a trap

* Matlehi 3, Markov Enterprise has around 150kt of Thermal Cooling Units for ~3050 cr.

** somewhere close to Colonia actually, as there propably aren't any carrier spots free.

You reckon 1 shieldless cutter load will get to & stay at top 75%?

 

[Bigmaec]

You reckon 1 full shieldless cutter load will get to & stay at 75%?

Maybe, maybe not, but you can fill up there some more, there are local ressources.

edit: aaaaand a second carrier just jumped close to Markov

Your own fault for mentioning it had plenty of goodies, bad BM!

That are already being harvested on timer refill... Just to clarify.

Tell that to Polygon, you monster!

Ah, that's ok, I only need 3 more Cutter loads, still 140kt in the market. Maybe even coincidental

X5K-9KF "Mountains of Madness" will move from Matlehi* to Colonia** later today,

Hmm, Lovecraft fan?

 

[Bigmaec]

Hmm, Lovecraft fan?

Sure

But it's from our Carcosa days, all my Loren's Reaper ships are named after Lovecraft novels or characters, and the carrier was to be named "Minings of Madness"
(because Borann financed it ) but later I went for the original themed name.

 

[Bigmaec]

Loading of 14.288 tons of Thermal Cooling Units completed.
Now I have some RL appointments.

Estimated time of departure: 1800 UTC

I'm gonna switch the holo-markers to red when I plot the first jump!

You reckon 1 shieldless cutter load will get to & stay at top 75%?

Get, yes. 75% threshold is currently <350t according to Inara.

Stay ... probably but not guaranteed, but you won't need to haul very much more to be absolutely sure.

Read a lot of Lovecraft, several times, also dug out some old stuff by William Hope Hodgeson after learning of his inspiration on Lovecraft, "The House On The Borderland", "The Horse of the Invisible", "The Blood Drip." Lovecraft carried a lot of themes that Hodgeson pioneered, but by now I am probably boring a lot of people and it's not really on topic.

My own carrier has no name, just so I can tell people who are visiting to look for The Nameless One.

Hmm... I'm really tempted to help out with one of my Alt commanders...

@Bigmaec Does your carrier have a shipyard or is it just one ship per commander ?

 

[Bigmaec]

@Bigmaec Does your carrier have a shipyard or is it just one ship per commander ?

No shipyard, no outfitting. One ship per CMDR.
Rest is there, but disabled. Maybe gonna enable the stuff later.

Pre-flight checks have been successful, ETD still 1800 give or take.

 

[LeoBartlet]

There goes the neighbourhood.

 

[Kimosabe_X]

Ok, then my Alt Cmdr will join in with his Cutter, just a few adjustments needed for a reasonable max. cargo capacity

 

[S0rkvild]

Hello Bigmaec, will you be making a return trip and when? How long this trip will take one way?

 

[Kimosabe_X]

Ok, loaded up, docked and ready to go

 

[St0rmFury]

I'm docked with 749 TCUs, 10 osmium and 25 escape pods.

My first trip to Colonia so I'm going to unlock all the engineers there while I'm at it.

Hello Bigmaec, will you be making a return trip and when? How long this trip will take one way?
