Apart from the copious amount of scavs that arrived (to be met with missiles and Scorpion firepower leading to ludicrous gibs), this was a rather nice looking planet:

And Wednesday enjoyed showing off her spiffing chrome ensemble:

Just making sure my phantom is ready to come back to the bubble in a couple of days... wonder if it was always this rusty and scratched? Might have to have a word with the parking lot attendant in Jaques, I think she's been sat next to a steam vent for a year!

Seeing as my preferred CG stocking point appears to have upped it's output a bit and 2 ticks could generate anywhere from 180-270 units total, I've reconfigured my python to 280t capacity. Lost the fuel scoop and surface scanner (who needs them for short shuttle runs?) and just a size 1 collector controller with 2 limpets aboard. Just in case (I get attacked again like I did just now).

Load up a T9. Ao Shun is 65 LY from Alcor and has an orbital port with L pads and all the TCUs you can buy.

With a G5 FSD and booster, its 3 jumps there and 4 jumps back loaded with 750+ tons of TCUs.

Given the SC time, I always end up doing CGs with the T9 in the end.

Showing off your 3080 and 4k eh. Gotta say it looks so much better than my 1080p 2060S.

I'm in Colonia, best commodity spawn rate out here varies 90-230 per cycle. We're not bottlenecked by carrying capacity, we're bottlenecked by the industry supply chain 😾

Which is a bit annoying, because FDev know full well that this CG probably can't complete on the Colonia end without carriers from the bubble.

My alt fell out of the 50% bracket in the CG, so I did a few more runs this morning. Did not break back into the 50% bracket, but hopefully I've done enough to at least stay in the 75% bracket and get the eventual rewards.

The profit margin for the deliveries has been excellent, though. She bought a Python to haul for the CG, and has made all the money back, and much more. She's done 16 runs and made over 105 million credits just from the deliveries. Life as a newbie is certainly easier these days ;)

It's a very lively CG, which is both good and bad. It's nice to see the community having fun, I suppose, but wow -- system chat is just horrid. What a bunch of insipid nonsense. It reminds me why I play in Solo.

My one and only screenshot from today. Meh.

After months in storage, my chieftain is back in action with 1 frag less. Being sitting in the big ships face tanking everything for so long, first fight ended not very well, gotta bug out with 70% hull. But then it rockz again after eventually get back the feel of fly the chief~!!

Mobius PvE group is pretty chill 😸 Don't see a lot of people around, especially in Colonia, but a few passed through Jaques today and it's mostly hellos and o7s as we acknowledge we're all on the CG grind today.

Dang, down from 10% to 25% while I took a bath... but realistically I'm not sure if even 75% is viable for those of us up here. Supply is so short (best system averaging ~120 per 10 mins), that the moment someone shows up in a fully loaded carrier, they're going to dominate the board.

Ah well. It's only 5ly on my explorer. No biggie really.

Ah ok my dumb assumption then.

I still have not been to Colonia.

The furthest I have been was only that random 5k LY for some wossname engineer requirement.

I keep wanting to go out but hate the thought that some interesting CG with some prize that I really want will Murphy Law me up the rear when I am out there.

edit: I wonder if there are lots of lurkers on this thread? After posting my Ao Shun post, the place is sold out of TCUs.... it was pretty limitless for last 2 days...
