Horizons We'll give you a bonus on your delivery mission of 20 {X} if you can get it there in...

... 0 minutes and 0 seconds.

Really??? I'm around 1 minute out from the landing pad, mission critical message received. We'll give you a big bonus if you can get the package delivered early - new target time is 0 minutes, 0 seconds. If my hands weren't so busy with the landing procedure, I'd have typed something back to him. Oh, after landing, second message came in, Sorry you didn't make it in time but we still need the stuff. Followed by "Not your greatest day, Leadfoot, but we still appreciate you bringing the stuff.

0 minutes. 0 seconds.

That sounds like my delivery instructions at Tesco...

Leave the store at 14:15.
First drop.... 14:15. It's 1 mile away.
Over an extremely busy level crossing.
And 2 sets of traffic lights.

Delivery companies and there unreasonable expectations!

Wow, that sucks. THey're usually very generous with the bonus time for me. I get a whole 60 seconds to get the bonus![praise]

... yeah I'm sick of this [:x] too![mad]

Happens to me all the time. I just figure one of the devs has a sadistic sense of humor.

I had a delivery yesterday in my Clipper to planet base, on approach I got the mission critical update with change of location to Outpost 35ly away. Great. So ended up buying a Type 6 to complete the 150k mission and to add insult to injury the new destination was 100000ls from the Star. The compensation, 80k lol.

I have had some pop up saying get this to us in 3 minutes for XX amount bonus when the station is 200,000ls away..... Sure shall be right there, "We are going to ludicrous speed" - Silly bonus messages, not worth the time to read them,

It happens every now and then; seen it myself. At the same time, you didn't lose anything, as a bonus, is just that: Extra.

Interesting. So, how did you transfer the cargo from one ship to the other? I didn't think that was possible?

It's part of 2.1. As long as the ship you are transferring to has the cargo capacity, your existing cargo will be transferred automatically. It's very handy IMO.

Back OT. I got so sick of the 1 min, or 0 min messages, I have stopped even looking at them until I have docked.

Yup, I really hated getting them while my hands are busy trying to land and have no real interest in hitting 2 and reading something not quite that important when I'm not trying to crash into the landing pad.

Love, that: ludicrous speed. We're going to plaid!

Well, at least I'm not the only one seeing this. Misery loves company.

Cool, thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind if I get re-routed to an outpost by a mission when I have a large sized ship... or when I just want to buy another ship
