Wingnuts doesn't have one. YES you can land on Bo's carrier. Actually most people allow unrestricted landings on their carriers. You can just find a carrier wherever you are and request docking and see if you can land.

Wingnuts doesn't? He did though? You don't have one either Rec?

So only Bo?

Inara confirms Bo's carrier location. That's only 70 ly from UGP 145 where I am. One hop in Mad Hops biggrin

What an exclusive club then smile

I'm going to find it and see if I can sneak past security and raid his beer fridge.

Inara shows 28 carriers in that system. What's all the hub-bub, bub?

He has an Interstellar Factor aboard, so you can turn in bounties and he gets a cut of the 25% that comes off the top. Donate some Tritium too while you're at it smile

Had a look at the system on EDDB and planet 5 is a gas giant, maybe there's a bit of bounty hunting in the system. Could always bring some with me.

Tritium is obtained how? Mining only? Can you buy some?

You can buy Tritium. There used to be HUGE profits to be had BUYING LOW and SELLING HIGH, but I think that is gone now. Have to check INARA for places to buy it as it isn't available everywhere. To SELL it on a carrier, the Carrier owner has to put iin a BIUY order, but assuming the stocks aren't full, you can just DONATE (TRANSFER) it to the ship. At least that is how I remember it from when we went on our COLONIA jaunt.

Yeah, I don't care if I turn a profit, but if I'm gong to steal his beer it seems proper to leave something in return for the hospitality.

Maybe I'll pop on by this evening for a spell.

Who here still has a carrier? What is it called and where is it parked? I'd like to stop by for a visit and see one of these first hand.





I like a neat and tidy cockpit - nothing loose so nothing flies. I also enjoy the breeze through my...er...scalp, nothing better when flying by a nice hot sun to crank all the windows down, turn the AC on high, tunes blasting through the void....

Yeah I just need to give it a sweep out. Crack that window a little more and chain-boost should clean it out I reckon.

Or maybe it's time to finally hire a minion. Get to work!

Minion? That's what kids are for!

Logged on tonight for a bit. Wanted to see if I could find my ships lol. It used to be that I had a red marker above any system where I had a ship stored on the system map, but I don't see that now. Once I left the outpost I had docked at and got to a station with a shipyard I could see where they all were and I started calling the flock home.

Once the Courier arrived I flew it over to Bo's carrier. First time I've seen one up close. Cool. Landed there on pad 13 for good luck and donated some stuff I think. Explo data, some bounties, not much really. Bought a little gas. Thanks for the service Bo. Fine ship you've got there. It was bustling.

How does one become a member of the Black Sheep?

I want that Inara badge, the Wingman, and to get it I have to be part of an Inara squadron with at least 8 members for 30 days. If I somehow angled in, I'd be commander number 7. If you don't want to keep me I can drop out when the badge fires.

Heh I don't have the badge either because we don't have 8 members :-)

Just ask Nephilim to add you. I am sure there are others who aren't in it so we should be able to get to 8 without a problem.

Yeah, I'd be seven. Sent Neph a PM asking for the secret handshake.

Thanks Neph!

Don't nobody leave it until the badges pop. There's enough for everyone!

Thanx for the business, D! Usually I keep my Tritium tank less then full to allow people to donate fuel. Also, I tend to keep a buy order up for it just in case the tank does get topped off.

How’d you like the sexy ATC voice over comms when you landed? smile

Classy touch. It's an impressive boat, that carrier.

Squadron Commander Neph says he will recruit another commander to the Black Sheep and it will start ticking at that point. 30 days to the badge.

I'm always going on about how I need to set and chase goals in this game. I finally got a long running one over the line. Spent a couple hours today in Parabellum, my Krait rumble-bus, running transport missions to hit 5000 delivered. Needed about 400 and got it done, and the Inara Captain's medal too. I just took a mission for maybe 35 businessmen or 40 rebels or whatever and flew it. At that station I took another, and so on until I crossed 5,000. That's 5,000 happy passengers I should add, with zero disgruntled or ejected. Need a new thing to go after.

Yah, I’m thinking goals are a problem for most of us at this point. Unless there’s a combat CG goin on, i usually bumble about whilst logged in lately.

I dropped off some Tritium at Angband, then went and did a Massacre mission. 12 ships for 6.9 million. It was by far the toughest one I have ever done. Previously, taken 12, 18 and just hopped from Signal to Signal killing everything and barely had my shields go down. This time all the ships were Deadly Pythons, FDL's and such. Since they leave after awhile, I usually tag 3 or 4 at a time so I can get the highest number of kills per signal. This time I was down to 13% shield when I finally got 5 kills and the rest disappeared. Got about another 8 mill in bounties from it too. I'll hunt around for more tritium.
