Hell of a view launching from the carrier
Speaking of which, This load pays the light bill for the hangars?

Well, we emptied Fei Lo pretty quickly! Here’s the how the CG stands at the moment:
Do you guys want me to reposition the carrier to pick up more metals?
EDIT: I’ve jumped back to Synuefe RG-N a116-0. It’s quite a way from Minerva but the benefit is that no-one else is there so the carrier should sit right next to the Birchville Cat Motel making loading runs about as short as it’s possible to get.

I think we can leave the carrier close to home, maybe start working on the orbital station again.
Also i need to get a life. Here is my CG as of this morning
Did make it to Elite 1 though

Hi Guys.
I’ve posted a couple of things on the squadron bulletin board in game but there seems to be a bug messing with that, so I’m posting here instead / as well.
The Vanguards update has hit and it has changed the way that squadrons operate. As such we have some decisions to make:
- I haven’t put much thought into the motto so if you have any ideas feel free to change it.
- Likewise with the logo - I’ve thrown together something quick but happy for it to be improved.
- I’ve set up a 50 million credit petty cash fund that anyone can draw from in a pinch. Feel free to use it and refill it at your earliest convenience.
- I’ve aligned us with the Portuguese Royal Navy so that we get a faction perk for any actions we take in their controlled space, which includes Gamma Muscae. I haven’t aligned us with a power but am happy to take suggestions.
- I’ve selected the ‘Increased Colonisation Delivery Profits’ and ‘Increased Pilot’s Federation Rank Gains’ perks as these seemed the most useful, however I’ve also set permissions so that any of you guys can change them as you see fit.
- Lastly, do we want a squadron fleet carrier? It has some advantages and disadvantages over personal ones:
- Anyone can be given permissions to manage it. This includes moving it and managing the commodity market (buy and sell orders, etc) so you won’t get stuck waiting for me to get online.
- It can store 60K tonnes of cargo (about 3x what Fei Lo can carry).
- It allows direct transfer of assets, ships, and items between members (with some restrictions).
- It will cost about 30 BILLION credits to buy and outfit. I can possibly put up about 10 billion if I decommission Fei Lo but will need others to fill the gap.
- There’s no Vista Genomics which might limit it’s usefulness on voyages out in the black. There’s no Pioneer Supplies either but I don’t think anyone uses them.
- The operational costs are not yet clear. I’ve heard some reports that they are actually cheaper than personal carriers to run but I can’t see that lasting.
So, let me know your thoughts guys. In the meantime Fei Lo is currently stationed in the Synuefe RG-N a116-0 system close to the Birchville Cat Motel with buy orders for steel and titanium, which I intend to deliver to Gamma Muscae to help construction.

I think for our uses a fleet carrier is a bit over kill at the price point.

The Fei Lo is empty. We are at 19% on the orbital construction.
I matched Havlok’s 50m in petty cash.

Internet is down hard until at least tomorrow, but I’ll also add to that when I can get back in.
