Hugues De PayensMy problem is that I'm far out in the black trying to return to the bubble. No where to BUY Tritium I have to mine it and it is driving my crazy. SOOOO much mining over and over and over. It's almost enough for me to consider decommissioning my carrier out here just to be done with this tedium.



Depending on the situation, you might be able to get the fuel rats to send a carrier to sell you tritium.



I had no idea that the Fuel Rats had their own carriers. It makes sense I guess. I'm going to need 4k tons. I'll contact them and see what it costs. Thanks very much for the suggestion.

That´s the reason, I simply buy that stuff...

Let´s say 1 Unit Tritium is 50k
so buying 4000 Units needs "only" 200million

that´s quite the same amount of money, you´d make by selling 4000 units of meta alloys from place A to place B.

Well, if you already own a FC; buying and selling 4k of meta alloys is not a big deal.
Maybe about 2 - 3 hours? Probably less...



you are right, buying tritium saves a lot of time......however I prefer mining it along with other precious minerals and metals.........

Check these guys out: https://inara.cz/squadron/11844/ They can sell you Tritium at a premium to fill up with. Additionally check around int he Fleet Carrier Owners Club Discord and you might be able to find a guy near you that is willing to sell you some surplus Tritium as well.

Good timing. I didn't cash in my missions the last two days because I'd reached last week's arx cap. 443 arx counted today.

Looks like a small prep for the Halloween stuff. Maybe a Pumpkin helmet for your suit soon?

Won't buy EDO any time soon. But the FC still needs some badges or one of those special ship PJs that are only on offer at Halloween.

You know... I've always heard people talk about jumping through a star when coming into a system.

But I don't think I ever really believed them until tonight.

Jumped into Synuefai IT-O D7-3 in the midst of a rapid Neutron run towards the bubble. High Wake dumped me out basically at the surface of the companion M-class on the opposite side of the star from the Primary. The animation of the slow-down to 'just' supercruise lasted until I was through the star and halfway between it and my target: The neutron at the center of the system.

To boot, this is one of those millisecond pulsars where the cone isn't a lazily spinning tail; it's a legit solid-looking cone, because of how quickly it rotates.


First Mate, bring me my brown pants!

The whole Galaxy looks like a giant skid-mark in the space, so, your experience is something that was meant by Nature itself.

"Not enough materials", did anyone have that?

So I know "Thargoid Thursday" is when stations will be damaged and recovery efforts begin. But how long does the evacuation actually last? Is it until the subsequent Thursday?

Also: What happens if you're docked with the rescue ship when the evacuation ends? Does it jump somewhere just like any other megaship?

The stations are burning during duration of attack. It usually last just a week.
As for the docking with rescue ship - AFAIK if it leaves your asset is moved to the station itself.
In any case, If you have Odyssey you may chose the new escape pod exit from a megaship that will move your toon to the previous docked station. Your ship will remain on the megaship so you would need to transfer it through inter astra.

Odyssey have this weird issue. Usually, "exit to main menu" fixes it.
