Don't try this at home.
The Buckyball Racing Club presents: Spring Break! (March 18th through 26th)

Don't try this at home.
Actually, ever since my Buckyball Sag A* run, I habitually run with unnecessary modules powered down. Not because I'm too close to the limits of my power supply, but in order to minimise unnecessary heat (especially while scooping but also, for example, while smuggling). So, power distributor (if I'm not in a combat ship) with 4 pips to engine, 2 to shields and then off and cargo scoop off.
Now, what I saw when I, ahem, misplaced my students, were warnings about heat damage and cargo scoop malfunction. When I checked my Inventory I still had (allegedly) all 20 of my students on board, and I kept checking, but when I docked at Slackaggers' and went to the commodities screen, low and behold 17/20. The second time it happened I even re-activated my cargo scoop, verified I still had 20/20, turned it off again and flew on to Slackaggers'. But when I got there ... 17/20.

*News Update*
News reached us earlier in the day of an accident between a Cobra and a Type-9 in which 40 passengers needed to be rescued. We managed to get a comment from the pilot of the Cobra who said "Who thought it was a good idea to put large landing pads that close to the front of the bloody station?!? I was happily entering the docking port when a Type-9 appeared from underneath me and crushed my ship into the docking port". The passengers, who were students enjoying their spring break, seemed unfazed by the experience and were looking forward to getting back out again.
The next run was a lot better and slightly less eventful, though I did managed to scrape my hull a little bit. I think I might have actually found a fairly good trip just by using the Galaxy Map and filters, I could also definitely do it a bit better. Evidence submitted.
On a side note, I wonder how many people here have seen Heavy Metal? For some reason the idea of this just had me thinking of these two

Intent to safely* ferry students around:
CMDR Cookiebot
Open Play, no FSD boost
No idea about class and ship yet, but it won't be big enough for a pool.
*Cookiebot OS is still in Alpha development. No liabilities assumed concerning harm caused by Rapid Unscheduled Dissasemblies of any kind.

Can I enquire what that
Sorting is alphabetical.
Colours would appear to be: green good, red bad, yellow mediocre, shades inbetween inbetween.
Meanwhile the safest ship in the bubble, the legendary Scoolbus will soon be appearing on said board with a safety rating which will make the rest of you look positively hazardous.

CMDR furrycat has the right of it. If we get more entries, particularly from people cross-certifying in a variety of ships, I'll likely break out each class into its own listing.
If the chart were sorted as Alec has suggested, it might look something like this:
But that might give the impression of this event being a race, which it most certainly is not.
I just can not believe I didn't spot the board was alphabetical. Anyway, I've parked Bickle's Tours for now as I need to do some research for Total Recall (shame really 'cos I reckon' I could turn in a pretty

Thanks Cmdr Ozric! You made me remember how maths works.
I followed your example and changed path and loadout.
Submitted new run data.
About Heavy Metal's "So Beautiful and So Dangerous" segment; completely agree.

Hi Seneh! I 'll send the data to certify on Party Barge class.
With shields (even with shield boosters!)
No Injection.
Party Conda
Data sent via PM.
Tardiness was lousy, but Safety Rating was gross.
This is the last run because I want to be alive tomorrow (I saw wife loading the shotgun...).
Thanks & Regards!

My apologies to Cmdr Inodoro Pereyra, who wrote to me while I was parked up in Slackagers' Hangout.
I had my nose stuck deeply in the GalMap, trying to find all the nearesttourist traps beautiful sights around Exigus. Sorry, I didn't notice your communication. Didn't mean to be rude.

Uh oh! Only one day to go and no route, ship choice and anything and a good few klies to go for CMDR Cookiehole...
I hope to do at least a Road Trip until tomorrow, but I may not be able to achieve the highest safety rating. Well, this is not a race anyway

No problem. I guessed you were with the map. [big grin]
Preparing a route for the conda was not trivial.
I used eddb to find the systems, and then Cmdr Alot's edts app to optimize the path and the time (guessing the time for intra system flights)
