Legend. Been thinking of doing this but couldn't quite face it!

Don't suppose you could be persuaded to add Colonia in as a waypoint!? 😖

Any chance at Colonia as a stop off (I heard they do great sandwiches)

I'd love to, but my tritium capacity is right about maximum for a trip to Beagle (132,000 LY!!), so I can't add Colonia. Maybe on another trip. I just don't feel like spending a few days mining to do that.

If there was anywhere to buy tritium at Colonia, I would do it, but it doesn't happen.

On the other hand, Colonia has a series of stations along the way to stop and take a break. Sag A* has Explorer's Anchorage next door, but nothing from there on the 81 carrier jumps to Beagle.

Yeah, that's about 40,000 LY PAST Sag A* to get to Beagle.

Okay, scratch that. Colonia only adds 7 jumps to the route.

If I can get 2 people with full T9s (784T preferred), I can make that Colonia route.

Give me to the end of the day to check my numbers.

Have you got Shipyard/Outfitting? I'll bring a Tritium loaded T-9 with me but would also like to have my Phantom on board in case i get a chance to blip around some systems on the way.

Rondund said:If I add a shipyard, I lose 3000 units of cargo space. That's around 30 jumps. The route from the Bubble to Sag A to Beagle to Colonia to Bubble is around 275 jumps. That will take between 30,000-32,000 tritium. I can't afford the space.

I have a hold with 23,850 tritium. (The cartography and redemption stations use 1150 units.) I and 4 alts(!!!) are carrying T9s with 784 tritium each. That gets me to 27,770 tritium. That means I'm short around 3,000 tritium to make that side run.

I think I'll strip off the redemption station. I can probably make another 1-2 alts to get me an extra 1550 tritium, for a total of 29,300 tritium or so. That puts us in the ballpark.

The trip is costing me 50,000/tritium, plus 150,000/jump. Each T9 is ~$100M. Call it 30,000 tritium @50,000 = 1.5 billion credits. 275 jumps @150,000 = 41,250,000. This trip is costing 2 billion from my own pocket.

Geez, now that I think about it, what I am doing???

Sashamorning said:I mean, you said it!

The price of Tritium is pretty crazy now they've stopped it ever appearing <10k credits. I remember those early days stocking up at 4k /ton!

I could slap some mining lasers on my T9 just in case? I'm guessing if you don't have space for the Shipyard it's the same as Outfitting? So I would have to sacrifice cargo hold for refinery/prospectors/collectors?

Have you already bought all that Tritium? Otherwise you could set up a buy order for the stuff and let us contribute? How are you getting Alt's to T-9's so quickly?

@Sashamorning Fair play for doing this trip for people. I did it legit in early summer time. Took me 2-3 months of legit jumping to get from bubble to Sag A to Colonia and back to bubble. I got a decent amount of cash so wasn't wasted journey, was just long, so i commend you for doing this for people who may not have the time or the patience to do it by themselves legit in a ASP explorer or something. My jump range was like mid 30-50 (can't remember exactly) too.

Rondund said:The tritium has been purchased. HOWEVER... along the way, it'll get used up, so you can contribute there if you can/want to help out.

Mining was really good to me. Right now, my squadron goes out Thargoid hunting, and a Bas = 24 million each. We'll kill 10 of them in an evening. That helps with my tritium addiction.

I can transfer funds using buy/sell between alts. I can funnel 100M to one, then send them to buy the T9. It isn't fast, but it works.

If I get a T9 alt now, that would free up space in the hold for contributions. Guess I'll get on that now...
