quick question, can you actually get a mug from hutton?

are they worth much?
the farther you fly from the source system, the more you can sell them for (the values top out at around 150ly away). Don't know the max value.
But it's not worth going there just for those. Better off going to Lave and surrounding systems if you want to haul and sell rares.
 
Every player should make the trip. Some have even taken Hutton mugs to drop them at Sag A and Beagle Point. Kind of a ceremonial gesture.
 
Honestly, I think it's a missed opportunity. Making the trip should generate a coupon that lets you get a real mug on their store. The purchase should be limited only to cmdrs that have the coupon.

Yes, excellent idea. A few more quirks like that would be great. A bit like Cobra Mk 4. Quirky, probably would prompt some whining, but interesting nonetheless.

A real mug would be pretty cool, but would incur a cost to whoever you redeemed the coupon with (so either the Hutton Truckers group or FDev, depending on who ran the promotion). I think it would be more practical for FDev to have a virtual mug which, once redeemed, you could sit on your cockpit dashboard like a bobblehead.

That said, I think Hutton Truckers do very occasionally make real mugs available as promotional items or prizes.
 
We do indeed give mugs as prizes, and we have a lovely new batch of mugs just in! Listen to Hutton Orbital Radio at 8:30pm on Thursdays (radio.forthemug.com) or join our Facebook group (Hutton Orbital Radio Truckers) to find out how to win one.

Yep, real Hutton mugs do exist in the world. There are a handful of them in the office that the crew over at Hutton have very kindly given to us; however, we don't keep stock of them for sale or the like. It's all owned by the truckers. :)
 
I was very kindly given one, whilst attending an Elite Meet in Glasgow :)

You could tie game achievements into other merch on the Frontier store Dale.

"I made Triple Elite and all I got was this T-shirt" should sell well. [haha]
 
I think that's pretty cool, Dale - I'm endlessly jealous, but it's brilliant that the ED community has such a great relationship with FDev.

I may have to start listening to Hutton Radio while I'm building my gaming rig, but rest assured that the run out that way is on my to-do list when I finally get in-game.

I knew I should have stolen one while I distracted Smoof.
 
99 other Commanders won a mug just like this one after the CG that created the Rare Good we all now know as the Hutton Mug. Untold amounts of scrap were hauled in to Hutton Orbital to make that happen.

For The Mug!!

I think he means the coupon just gives you the right to make a purchase.
