You wre just being GREEDY! Will look up the group - long awaited game time tomorrow and I was going to try Dav's Hope for the first time ... hopefully my driving will be a little less head-firsty....Hmm.
Well, I created a group. It's called "Tyres O'Flaherty" and anyone can join. I thought I'd be able to name the group something suitable but there you go - rushing into things without researching first!
If you do enter it, please don't be offended if I don't answer chats - I'm not normally looking out for them so will more than likely miss them
All welcome. Do as you will - I have no aims for the group other than what you want to do. Come and go as you please and do what you like - it's just a bit of fun you can opt in or out of as you like.
Incidentally, I was running low on some materials so had to go to Dav's. This happened:
Truly stuck no matter what. Quit the game and it had shifted slightly, allowing me to jump boost up, turn over a few times, fracture the trans-axel, warp the sub frame and dent the furry dice before landing upright again.

Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?
- Thread starter Tyres O'Flaherty
- Start date
Did a bit more carrier refuelling, balance now just over 2 bill.
Heading back to Ray Gateway to build (another) mining T-9.

Nothing, because I hosed myself pretty good and don't know what to do. I accepted a bunch of cargo missions as I was waiting for my Type 9 Trader to transfer to the station I was at. When it got there I loaded it up to the max with over 700 units of cargo. The thought did occur to me that since I accepted the missions in a smaller ship I might find myself unable to deliver some of it in my Type 9 because of pad size, but I had so many missions I figured I'd be able to knock a lot of it out and just transfer what was left to my Python. I was too lazy to go looking through the missions at the time and see where I was going. It turned out every single mission was going to a medium pad, total bonehead move on my part but I don't think I've ever had that happen with so many missions active. So I was stuck with more cargo than any of my ships could handle, much less smaller ships. So I did the only thing I could do, take it to a station with a Black Market and unload enough of it so I could transfer the rest to my Python, take the rep hit and finish the other missions. But for some reason the Black Market won't buy any of it, it doesn't say why it just doesn't do anything. So now I'm wondering if I'm just going to have to jettison this crap into space.
We always wanted the game to start giving us more info so we don't have to rely on the 3rd-party tools.Guess where the Crystalline Shards are...
Well, I guess this is one way of organically highlighting points of interest throughout the galaxy.
Simon, I'm still heading to Colonia on my PC profile....I'll probably take so long to get there most of the FC's will have dispersed or gone bankrupt and had their carriers repossessed by the Galactic Bank Not too worried over it, but I understand how it can be a right mess right now.

Silly question, but how does one join a group? I couldn’t see anything obvious in the ”social” section, other than to create my own group!
I think you need to be invited by the group owner. I did a search for Tyres O'Flaherty, and it came up with him, the CMDR, not the group. From there, I could invite him to my group, but not join his group.
I haven't messed with groups much so I could be missing something
Had a good bash at at Sub Surface mining, got 520 LTDs. Just waiting for the carrier taxi to set off to market.
I like SS mining, very much on a par with Core mining, probably faster.
I'm gonna have to rethink my mining ships, they work really well, but too specialised ie boring.
Whoop! Pre-flight lockdown, here we go! ✌

Let me look at the settings later - not that there's many of them - as I thought it was just set to auto accept anyone who selected the group. Apologies, all new to me too!
And I had hoped to name the group something more suitable as one called "Tyres O'Flaherty" seems a little arrogant!

What am I up to?
Prepping for the new Buckyball Race which starts on Saturday and runs all next week!

I am up to nothing.
I had a feeling that making triple would deprive me of motivation to keep playing - especially with no AX combat zones to maintain my interest - and that's precisely what happened. Go the badge 48hrs ago, logged off, went and painted the hallway woodwork, finished that, now I'm overwhelmed with feelings of can't-be-aaaahsedness when I look at the PS. I currently get more enjoyment writing about Elite than partaking, especially now that I'm ripping into established lore for JKR2.
Without AXCZ's and burning starports I need a motivation. And I have no interest in carriers and don't enjoy mining - I have all the carriers I need provided by Aegis at AXCZs.
Maybe I'll just disappear into the deep dark....

I think if you just abandon the missions, keep the cargo in your hold , it becomes stolen. Then go to black market to sell.
If a mission is abandoned early enough , you may not get a fine fron the mission giverer. If no goods in the hold...and your already at friendly level.

Think I've cracked it. It's now set to "Automatically approve requests" and "All players". If that don't work, I need some help! In more ways than one. Arf.
Edit: Just accepted three requests too.

I was going to offer one of my accounts' PG - The Vital Spark - well, denizens of this thread are welcome to join anyway, I'll change the settings to "All Players".
My Nyogel 767a turned up! It will probably be the weekend before I get around to applying it, but it's nice to think I've got it at last. Very quick delivery
It does open up a severely "Carry On" style opportunity for a sentence though: "My lubrication gel turned up, so I will be using it on my Thrustmaster at the weekend".

Let us know what it's like. I always used either the ceramic or graphite grease I've got loads of from my RC Chopper days. Lube is lube, right?My Nyogel 767a turned up!

Fnarr fnarr.
Nudge nudge! Know what I mean?

So, yesterday I spent the entire day traveling out toward my destination close to Colonia. I decided not to explore on the way. I'm going to be doing a fair amount of exploring once I arrive there, and I don't want to get bored on the way
So, I installed ED on my secondary machine which normally just displays a couple video feeds (porch camera). ED runs on that machine, but not very well, and there's no joystick or anything. But it runs.
Every 20 minutes or whenever I thought about it, I'd transfer some fuel and set it to jump.
It's kinda cool, and kinda weird, being able to travel like that. I mean, you don't SEE anything, and you don't FLY anything. You just twiddle menus.
But it's working well, and I got a ton of hours in yesterday that way. The entire trip will be 14.5 hours, assuming I'm there every 20 minutes (which I won't be because I'm doing other stuff during the process!). So I expected it to take 3 days, but it's looking like I'll arrive today!
I'll wind up burning about 9000 tons of tritium, and I'll have 8000 left. I'll have to purchase or mine some more before returning to the bubble, whenever I do that.
I'm excited to be out in the black again, it's been quite a while, and I haven't visited my little system since they added Mapping to the game. Also, this time I have all my ships with me, which will give me some interesting options.
I have no screenshots. Mostly I was looking at the hangar interior anyway

That sentence might work better in the style of “Professor” Stanley Unwin from Carry on Regardless and later Gerry Anderson’s Secret Service.My Nyogel 767a turned up! It will probably be the weekend before I get around to applying it, but it's nice to think I've got it at last. Very quick delivery
