Building a new outpost in Andhrimi (CG)
19 Mar 2017NordicLion
Thursday 16 Mar 3303 we were surprised to hear the Alectrona Imperial Society had obtained official Empire backing for building a new outpost in the Andhrimi system. This system is otherwise completely controlled by us, and Alectrona Imperial Society is in a very weak position in Andhrimi, so we will be able to take over the outpost shortly after it has been built.We rallied the paladins for a swift completion of their petition for materials to ensure that it will be built - for us to take over. I got "Leia" out from her dock in Roentgen Hub and went searching for Building Fabricators, which I found out we have in abundance in the market at Onnes Gateway, so already by Thursday evening I had delivered more than 10,000 tonnes to Alectrona Imperial Society in Yurchikhin station.
More paladins joined me on Friday, and on Saturday we had almost the entire fleet of Paladin Consortium transport vessels ferrying materials to build the new outpost, as well as numerous independent commanders looking to get the bonus paout. Less than 50 hours Alectrona Imperial Society had issued the appeal we had managed to deliver all the needed materials, and Alectrona Imperial Society pledged to the supporters of their appeal that they would build it as soon as possible.
The flight control in Yurchikhin kept tally of the deliveries to manage the bonus payout, and a few of us started a friendly competition to see who could deliver the most materials. An independent commander delivered almost 52,000 tonnes, and our own cmdr Inyahin became the top paladin contributor with about 42,000 tonnes. Together with cmdr Astral Spaceman I managed to squeeze into the top 10, him wih 30,176 tonnes and myself with 30,896 tonnes.
It was exhausting but fun. Maybe we should make a competition again the next time we need to do some hauling.
