Oh the joy! I'll do a couple of runs today for the hell of it
Set condition Mauve... The Hutton Mug CG looks like it is live....
- Thread starter Vingtetun
- Start date
I'm "working" from home today, so have Elite running in the background. Hopefully my sanity will hold for a couple of trips.
Quick update ... Cmdr FreeThinker would like to be named as the Cmdr that ran out of fuel.
We have a live docking stream on Twitch watching pad 3 for the next hour.....
Many thanks to CMDR Minudra and the EDC!

Good news is that traveling to Hurton is at such a fast speed that enemy PP pilots can't catch up to interdict, so being in a hostile area hasn't been a problem yet.
Fell asleep last night near to, but not quite, at the half-way point. Went cold and dark and hit the sack... I'm too worried I'll overshoot and end up fuel-less a billion miles from anywhere... tomorrow will be soon enough to deliver my 200 tons.
This is a great CG!

On my way...just listening to the sounds of elite while doing some work!

Apologies to Cmdrs Remyzero and Orange Sheets for neglecting to mention their part in the rescue.

Our roll of honour is growing now.... We have had commanders e-mail us with entries and screenshots of their progress and the link below is of those who are proud to have helped:

If your name isn't down and you'd like it to be - to be in the draw for a mug, or just to boast loud and proud - simply e-mail us a screenie of your involvement at itookpart@huttonorbital.com
Thanks so far to over 700 commanders who have dropped at the station.

Just been chilling around Hutton with a few other CMDR's, up to 14 in our instance.
Games and fun were had whilst waiting for the medium pad to become free, this included hide and seek, getting stuck in Hutton's infrastructure, staring contests, chaff parties and rather inappropriate spaceship actions.
Also good to see so many people arriving in Anacondas and T9's to give scrap away to anyone that wants it. Keep going folks, nearly hit Tier 1 (or so I hear).

Does anyone have time for an experiment - I wouldn't have time for this until Sunday, but I think that if you do the following:
1) Get 1 Type 9 and 2 Pythons with limpets.
2) Run an experiment to see how long the 2 Pythons take to empty the type 9 and bring the cargo into Hutton. You might have to do this in a private group as I've heard that limpets malfunction a lot with lots of commanders around.
If you measure that time, we can then calculate whether it's much more efficient to use a supply chain like this to complete the goal. Of course, the T9 owner won't get any credit but maybe you could swap roles each day or something.
Once proven, someone would need to coordinate the supply line so that we had enough pythons for the number of T9s available.
If the T9 can be emptied in less time than the Pythons make a round trip (or half the time if there are two of them(?)) , you have proved that it's more efficient to complete the goal this way (at least I think so).
Edit: I would be happy to be a T9 for the experiment but I probably won't have time till Sunday or so.

If I bring a limpet controller can I replenish limpets at Hutton or do I need the limpets as well?
Also in your experience would I need the biggest sized / best limpet controller or will a small one suffice?k (in a T6)
Hey!
Sorry, I didn't see your offer for scrap until after I'd jumped out just recently!
I wasn't paying enough attention
I'm 0.15 LY away, inbound. Willing to exchange some of the stuff for a few tons of the Gin.
