Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

[aRJay]

Alas, NPCs appear to be on US time because it's very quiet in Jaques this morning. There's the usual pod of belugas and orcas outside however, but they don't seem inclined to enter any more. Maybe they've been scared away.

Seeing as I have a week of covid house arrest, I'm taking the opportunity to push a few more shipments into the Colonia CG before I catch an overnight FC back to the bubble tonight. Next shipment will see me pass 10kt total. Currently top 10% and hoping to stay top 25% until reset, now that the weekend's behind us

Don't really know why I care, there doesn't seem to be any motivation for having a good % from the Colonia. Unless the game's only going to tell us once we hit first tier - maybe it'll show something once the fleet carriers start arriving and tip us over.

There is something strangely addictive about CGs, I have spent most of my time in the game involved in them to the expense of progress in so many other ways.
I seem to be over the worst of the addiction but make a point not to become too aware of the rewards unless I get sucked back in.

Is it just me sometimes gets this lovely rainbow outside Jaques?

Also, pirates! Pirates outside the station! Why? Why are they patrolling here?

Don't they know everyone is leaving empty?

 

[CMDR-NOBODY]

What the.... is this bugged?

 

[Nekozji]

How even...

(Took manual control and flew out, looked like the computer would have just waited until that ship got shot before continuing. Also the one outside who can't seem to work out he can just go around the blockage... he's gonna die too.)

I'm pretty sure the "rainbow ring" effect is just an anti-aliasing glitch. I see it sometimes, too. I does look pretty cool, though.

The "free anaconda" guy is getting creative, now, and expanding beyond Hutton Orbital

Perhaps they are doing a paintwork inspection after the last time I took my T9 through.

Increased the ammo clip size on the primnary weapon, my shotgun

Right. Opinion polls.

 

[Tyres O'Flaherty]

Interesting mission. All lockers were empty and there was no data from any port. Most odd.

Mind you, I just got promoted to "mostly defenceless" so that was nice.

 

[Codger]

Gotta love nitrogen atmospheres, so pretty and blue.

This one was Argon. It made for a beautiful sunrise.

Did the game crash during the mission, perhaps? Everything gets cleared if that happens, although you can still complete the mission sometimes.

 

[bangermsuk]

Huston i found a problem.

mapped all of this system but two planets refused to complete,has you see they are but would i get the system scan bonus. not on your nelly would i.

Ahhh! Yes it did!

 

[Shir]

Starting to plan my next exploration adventure. Last one was with a small Diamondback explorer, but this time i'm taking the Carrier with me again. It will be my second exploration trip with my Carrier, previous one was fun.

So right now i 'm doing some hauling with my T9 freighter, filling up with Tritium. Found a system where i could park the carrier only seconds away, so this should be over tonight.

 

[Nekozji]

Finally docked up to a /r/FCOC shuttle carrier back to the bubble. Now I just have to go to sleep, and I should be there basically by lunchtime

(I hope I didn't leave the hangar door open...)

 

[Ant hill]

Hmm. I'm in the top 25 percent on Alcor and I'm pondering hopping on an FC to Colonia with a loaded T9 to participate there. Would I end up with two 6A drives? How long does the trip even take? I've never been.

 

[bangermsuk]

8 hours in a carrier, but where the fun in that. 22,000 lys and think of all the planets scan you can musta up and crs

Yes, you can get rewards from both CGs.

More like 16 hours.
