Welcome to the Clean Remlok Club.
Now the real questions: Did you make the trip in a Type9? Did you claim your free Anaconda for it?
Now the real questions: Did you make the trip in a Type9? Did you claim your free Anaconda for it?
When I first started playing, shortly after release, I got a mission to go there. Having not been alive during the original games lifespan and not ever reading a forum post up to that point, I took the mission and headed out.
Pretty sure I was still in my starter Sidewinder. When I got there and the time-to-intercept never got below 2 hours, I had a serious conversation with myself about what kind of game I had gotten myself into. I decided I had to accept the challenge.
That being said, it's a fond memory and now that you've got your mug, welcome to the big leagues
Did it go like this:

Did you know that’s what that was called?
I made the trip at least 20 times. Back in the day we could stack 20 data courier missions and fetch 60-80mil per run. That's for doing nothing but sitting there and watching netflix or whatever.
It's about 90 minutes IIRC and the ship doesn't even reach it's top speed. It is a rite of passage as you say
I helped out with a CG there years ago, with the Code waiting at the binary system for us; great fun
Is this only on the direct course? Is there another circum course which is faster? I guess not, but just asking.
Right on, OP, well done.
Maybe, look for someone else to test it though
I haven't been back in years but when I went I just pointed the ship at the binary & went full throttle, never tried an arc over that big a distance.
In the 4 years that Ive been playing ED, I'd always avoided Hutton Orbital.
I've always read this forum, so quickly realised what a lengthy journey this was to attempt.
It was only late last year, while twiggling my thumbs waiting for 3.3 to go live, wondering what to do in the game, that I decided "y'know what? I'll go to Hutton, just to say I've done it"..........so I went.
The End.

Doing it in a fleet with 20 other ships is much more fun.

There's an ongoing Truckers' Time Trial... at least I assume it's still ongoing. I think the fastest were something like 86 minutes or so. I think the deets are on the Hutton Orbital website.

I was there for that one but in PG. The vociferous antics of some Code members made it not worth my time. Shame really. I think I would have enjoyed an encounter with a proper pirate. Still haven't to this day.It's about 90 minutes IIRC and the ship doesn't even reach it's top speed. It is a rite of passage as you say

Would look so nice on my dash ...
Free anaconda?! ... Man now i gotta go back lol
No type 9 for me AspX slightly engineered. 1800ish c
O7
If you didn't listen to Hutton Orbital Radio the entire way, your achievement is invalid.
Couldnt do it. Im a metal guy. Tried though
I did my first couple of runs in a 180t Python, running interference for a small gaggle of T-6s that latched onto me as the obvious red-shirt in the group. When we arrived at the binary they scattered in all directions while I hoped to distract the pirates by diving into the star's gravity well then double-tapping J. When a couple of pirates joined (A Clipper and something else) I was already charged up & boosted back into supercruise & just managed to get the station 'safe to disengage' message as a second interdiction started and immediately failed.
It was a lot of fun, and the Code put on a terrific show.
After that I tried Mobius to see what it was like and helped a couple of players to unload their Condas. Unlike most I didn't have a collector onboard so was of limited use. It was a different kind of camaraderie, less intense but less welcoming too, I was simply expected to do my part it seemed. That was the last time I spent any significant amount of time in the Mobius group, although I am still a member of it I think.
There is room for lots of different playstyles in ED, I like that I can choose and I like that others can make a different choice.
H.O.R plays metal.
Plays everything to be honest. I listen to it at work, because it's more varied than most normal radio stations. Lol
I love their parody songs.
