2nd mostly self-organised Booze Cruise
24 Feb 2022Netchild
Like last month, we made a booze cruise with no official P.T.N. space traffic control (STC) in place. As of this writing, we're in the last few hours of the booze cruise. This time some from our Sommelier team seems to have realized, that they seem to be missing a little bit the thrill of the STC. So some of us jumped in and helped more than last time. Seems a month or two of rest re-filled their energy levels for this...We also opened some more of our booze cruise infrastructure to the carrier owners, so that they were able to setup automated unload notifications via our long range communication network (even covering the Peak!).
Very early in the cruise we got in contact with the nice people from UUCC which also came with a considerable amount of carriers to the Peak. Thus the P.T.N. Council had send me on a diplomatic mission with them. I'm very happy to report that our talks came to a nice mutual understanding. We joined forces for the benefit of the population in HIP 58832. We are hoping for the next booze cruise that we can continue this fruitful cooperation.
This time we also had a lot more independent fleet carrier owners participating in the booze cruise. Not including the nice people from UUCC we have about 55 registered carriers this time. Not all are unloaded yet, and I don't have the statistics of all the UUC carriers, but just with our statistics alone we are above 1 million tons of Wine, which means more than 280 billions of profit in total. About 56 carriers could theoretically be bought with that profit. The average carrier transported 17,700t of Wine, providing about 6.7t of Wine per capita. This means more than 3,600 loads of the recommended Python configuration for hauling at the Peak.
This time no carrier owner decided to do a second run. With around 60 registered carriers and the amount of abandoned carriers at the Peak, this didn't seem to be a good idea. We will see once the public holiday ends, if we could have unloaded a few more carriers or not...
Several Cmdrs also got their Elite V rank in trade (starting with less than Elite) from the Pilots Federation at the Peak.
