One Hour and 45 Min??

It is not the destination that matters; it is how you enjoy the journey.

I go to the drive through, or the grocery store.

So you are the one who won. My most disappointing moment in ED when I didn't win that MUG after 22 trips to Hutton Orbital
That community goal almost got me divorced. I had ED running on my laptop at 10 FPS and brought it with me everywhere to get those deliveries done.

Best CG ever in ED.

250 mugs were given as prizes. 3500 people took part ;-)

Good news is we are saving up for another batch thanks to generous donations by fellow Hutton truckers.

We still have flight patches, dog tags and coasters available for epic truckers though who join in on events.

I don't need to read the history of cooking in order to be allowed to comment on or suggest improvements to a fly in my soup.

Hutton Orbital?

No one cares!

A group of players worked a faction from there to other systems after 3 months of dealing with the distance.

PC gamers seem more willing to grind out for the immersion of it. Console players usually won't sit around for 2 hours watching basically a splash screen. If autopilot was available, that would negate the distance but not the time, so there would be no need for the distance to begin with.

I think it's cool to have Hutton as a talking point, that one station some group of hermits built so far away from civilized shipping, and it makes no sense from that aspect - but it's an option. The game has a lot of stuff like that. You're going to really love going to Colonia, btw.

why would you need an auto-pilot? ... you have an hour and a half to slow down ...

And also .. the star that Hutton Orbital is closest to is also the star that is closest to earth (excluding Sol), so it makes perfect sense to have a station there.

I know, we talked about it at Lavecon last year. But including that info doesn't make for a good heartbreaking complaint now, does it. :x
And you did give me a patch, so I have nothing to complain about.

I found Shrimp Scampi on sale at the supermarket, while waiting for modules and ships to arrive.
