The Hutton Truckers Galactic Intrepid Mug Proliferation Project (GIMPP for short)

Ther and & made it back safe and sound in time for Horizons, though we got a bit sidetracked... The Mug must be distributed far and wide!

They asked if I wanted to stay and be their new god of Balance, but I declined... there are more mugs yet to haul!

This has been a most excellent adventure; we saw many beautiful sights, met some amazing CMDRs, and netted >36M in exploration data. Looking forward to the next one :D


Fantastic and thank you again for having an extra mug after my cargo hatch failure.
 
For the mug!

With over 60 commanders who have now completed the trek, we still have a handful who are rushing to get their place reserved amongst the nuttiest pilots out there (and get a flight patch).... With only hours to spare, we've had messages from a few who are within 4000ly of the destination and their prize.

When we came up with this, we didn't realise quite how well it would be taken - but are happy to reward each and every pilot with their own Hutton flight patch as a reward. We have an awesome gallery of images from the efforts.

Special thanks to TH03BGT, who - on hearing that one of our "later" arrivals had lost all his mugs en route to Sag A* and didn't have time to go back for more, got in his ship, stripped it for speedy delivery, went to Hutton to get mugs and arrived at Sag A* in under a day to rescue a fellow trucker. Absolutely incredible stuff by TH03BGT - it's not the first time he has done this during the challenge.

Speed to your frameshifts and may your route plotting be swift and sure.

For those that aren't out and about this evening, are on their own and want some company, or just like a laugh and aren't going to get murdered by their significant other for playing games on New Year's Even, we have a bit of a special treat.

The Hutton Orbital New Year Chaff party will be held at Hutton Orbital at midnight UK time. Bring food, bring wine, we've got gin.

Bring your Orca, your Sidewinder (with help), your new Cutter. Join in the teamspeak at laveradio.teamspeak3.com for company if you want it. Some of our team will be there on standby.

Don't forget, the journey to Hutton takes time, so you can have your last dinner of 2015 whilst the ship makes the journey.
 
That's the first picture I've seen of the patch, that's awesome! Has anyone posted a picture of the patch on their 'flight suit'? I'll have to go back in the thread and look.
 
So have the patches been dispatched? What's the ETA?

Also, well done to all the CMDRs who did it FOR THE MUG! Looking forward to the next Hutton event I find out about in time to do it, haha!
 
I never got a reply e-mail, and I'm wondering if everything sent. I did ask for confirmation a while ago, but it seems to have been washed under. I could re-send everything, but Im already kinda worried as to where my home address went to if it didn't end up in your email. Maybe it was filtered as spam, but I don't wanna re-send such details into the black. I've got all the pics about still, so I could make an imgur album or something, but I'd rather not send something to that e-mail again if it's not gonna turn up. I'm gonna PM Erik w/ my details and go from there. I just hope I don't start getting packages I didn't[/i[] ask for in the future...
