I see. Money isn't really an issue, but I was contemplating should I just build a fleet just for Colonia. Which does seem like the logical choice instead of ferrying ships to/from.


If you do not plan to stay there for months a single ship will do. It is a very small bubble and everything is close. A single Krait Mk2 or Python will do for everything except for PvP.


Fixed that for you.

Well, that is assuming all PvPers are lame and do not know what reverberating cascade is.

Aleksander MajjamSo I started my first trip to Colonia ever last night. Docked right now at Omega Mining Operation. Been thinking about having my K. MKII towed at each stop. I'm doing about 6000 LY at a time. I think it costs 70M and 15 Hour wait from Sol. Or should I just buy an A-Rated fighter when I get there to do missions, etc.

I’d maybe buy the A-rated modules you need and have the eng blueprints available before you go. I bought a mk II in Colonia and although I could fully engineer it I couldn’t buy all A-Rated modules. They do restock but in the week I was there, EDDB reported no better modules.

What saved me when I was last there was the Fleet Carriers - a lot of the missing modules I needed were being sold by players locally at the time.

You better use Colonia Region system database for modules and ships.

Apart from armor for ships that are not present there and some size 8 modules I had no problem finding all I needed.

Seth BradwellSo no more hour-long supercruises to Hutton Orbital?



Exactly. Only problem is, if you have purchased a FC, you are ineligible for the free Anaconda.


lolz... I got 2 Anacondas so far.. but I sold em for the cash.

Colonia is very pretty and well worth the visit. You can use just one medium sized ship.

However, I stayed there for a month or two and did buy another Krait MkII and a Python as I was missing them.
Came to conclusion for Asp ex and smaller ships the ship transfer can be useful, and for larger ships it may be better to fly them out if you can’t buy another there.
I found the odd FCs were well stocked for harder to find modules/less flying about to lots of places for parts - probably not be the cheapest option.

Just built a 2nd Corvette with Guardian FSD booster, which I will eventually fly out.

Enjoy your trip!

While undocking, my game crashed, my corvette ended up rocketed forward and got wedged into the station, unable to be freed and then got blasted by station guns. I'm not even mad, more impressed that such a sequence of events could happen with something I've done thousands of times.

As for why I crashed, turns out professional microphones can just randomly fail and stop your pc entirely until you unplug them.

Interesting, when I tried to land my Cutter yesterday the game didn’t accept anything less than the exact middle of the crosshair. It took multiple attempts in the green area which damaged my shields. I’ve seen videos on yt of Cutters getting stuck and then destroyed inside the station because auf this bug.

Happened to me with T10 a week ago. No amount of maneuvering helped and the station killed me. Happened first time in the years I had thus game.

For anyone experiencing this, or any other problems while docking or departing a station, exit to the Main menu and relog in. It will either kick out out to a safe radius or return you to the docked state (if you were leaving and forgot limpets etc.). Don't hesitate or panic. that costs rebuys

OK, League on Mandu (Fednecks) and Nova Imperium are now in a state of war since the last tick, so the parties involved in this week's CG should be obvious now. Now lets see what the story behind this is aka what ACT say about it all...

Yeah, tonight I will improve my rep with Nova Imperium in case I need to drop it after. Being hostile toward controlling faction is not fun in war.
