Pilots and Squadrons of the galaxy - we need YOU - 2HOT2MESSY is ON.
- Thread starter Vingtetun
- Start date
Oh damn! Why am I always impossibly far away when these things happen? 
Will be taking us MONTHS to complete.Oh damn! Why am I always impossibly far away when these things happen?
On that note, we've nearly lifted the "bust" state in Alpha Centauri - mugs are up to 27 and gin is on 8 now per load.
We have special guest stars launching the event on Thurs evening between 830 and 9pm - We're joined by Bruce (watched by Sally) and the Buurpit for the ceremonial 1st drop - after that is confirmed, we will be GO!
Please note - anyone dropping mugs and gin who hasn't signed up for the Hutton Helper and CONFIRMED that it is working will likely have to redo their drops.
To set it up, you can use the EDMC or ONLINE versions of the Hutton Helper - available at https://hot.forthemug.com/download
The EDMC plugin will be near instant. The online version will have a lag of up to 30 minutes to record your drops. To test, make sure you're signed up, then make a jump or two and you should show up in commander location at https://hot.forthemug.com/commanders_position

Alternatively, now that Fleet Carriers are a thing, any loading can be done right next to an owner's FC without any fines for littering and the FC defences taking care of any pirates attacking. I loaded up someone next to mine (Flossy's Fleet Carrier) a few days ago and it was one of the best loading sessions I have had, with no interference!
highlighting is mine.
Just to be clear: by sign up what do you mean?
I have installed the lated version of the EDMC plugin and verified that is working, updating location info when I jump, etc., and I have registered on the Hutton Helper website. My CMDR activity updates on the page when I jump or do things in-game. I expect that simply having EDMC with the plugin running it should work just fine. I will make sure to look when I make the first mug & gin delivery.
I believe that I am ready to rock- er, MUG & GIN!

You can't be in it if you're not on it but if you're on it and in it and do the thing you will go down in legend and maybe even win a mug!
Are CMDRs loading their FCs in order to supply random CMDRs with cargoes? Are they parked in the system, near Hutton Orbital?Alternatively, now that Fleet Carriers are a thing, any loading can be done right next to an owner's FC without any fines for littering and the FC defences taking care of any pirates attacking.

If I were to try loading this way, would they find my hold full of limpets useful?
We are indeed. Regular loading sessions.
One is full and has moved to the Sol l system in case of disaster tomorrow.
Look for Dibbler's emporium.
The HOT PROPERTY has a small load to distribute as have many others. We will be posting dates and times for reloads up tomorrow.
The Hutton HOTBUS us running trips from near AlDin in Alpha C to Hutton every evening as well for those that need reloading.
Best bet. Get in system and shout in system chat to see who is available for loading or needs more! (it works across modes from what I recall.. Not local, but system)
Also there is a dedicated discord room in the Hutton Discord if anyone wants. Link is on our website http://huttonorbital.com
You folks know how to throw a MUG (and gin) party!
The event page is now LIVE.
NOTE. The contents will be wiped just before the start of the main event tonight. We will shout GO once Bruce and Buur have dropped their ceremonial loads after 2030bst.

We have confirmation that the rather splendid Sally MIGHT be joining us this evening as well! Team selfie in the bar at Hutton before kickoff????
The live stream MIGHT be in the Hutton PG - if anyone's desperate to join, and promises to abide by the rules (#1 Hutton rule - be EXCELLENT to each other) then temporary access might be granted, particularly if you're also streaming. PM me if you want.
The stream will be visible from 2030BST (1930 game time) on http://twitch.tv/huttonorbitaltruckers and NO, we don't DO twitch drops ;-)

Flight plan from 2030bst:
1. Assemble in the bar aboard the carrier HOT PROPERTY. Wings form up - I'll pick up guests in a wing. Selfies.
2. Fly to Hutton (about 30s flight away)
3. Load Bruce with mugs
4. Fly to Sol - Abraham Lincoln
5. Drop 1st Mug - selfie in bar there. Declare event open
We'll announce which PG we're in at 2030 when stream starts. If there are people also in open, or your own PG's that's cool.
If you're in our teamspeak - server address ts.forthemug.com - there's a 2hot2messy channel. If you CAN - please use push to talk so we don't get chaos. Also - you want to set auto voice volume setting to OFF as broadcast account will be running open mic.

Is it just me or are is the market at Hutton Orbital no longer updating? Been waiting for 20 minutes now since the last pick-up and I do not get more mugs/gin. Been dropping them off at my carrier so I'm empty, tried relogging and landing again too. It was fine for a while, every round trip I could load up another batch.
Edit: Took a full 30 mins before another batch, the 1 gold and palladium weren't restocked either until then. So strange.
