Always Fly with Crew
Teaming up with the classic crew, we had a memorable cargo convoy. A few kilometer's out from landing the Starfarer and Caterpillar at Lorville we looked forward to the profits to be had as we imagined the gold statues of the Central Business District. Headed in for the last run of the day what could possible go wrong.
Today seemed to be a day for bugs, Running into a few of the 16700 error I found myself having a difficult time finishing up some cargo runs for the day. Selwyn started out with not being able to update the game, but after clearing the game cache it seemed to sort that out. Next Rich_Bank was having internet issues, so right as we were about to begin he logged out. Then it was smooth sailing for first three cargo runs, mostly. I spawned in the bed of my ship about 12,000 meters from Woodruff, loaded up with Astatine and headed to Lorville making a nice 100k right at the get go. After selling, the cargo seemed to persist in the ship visually, so after storing and spawning the ship again it seemed to sort out. Then SQ and I made a few trips to Arial depleted whatever supply at the outpost. El Dio had to reset his account because his 325 was set back to stock. So he transferred some credits to Selwyn and was able to get his account reset. Sewyn made some good runs out of Port Olisar in the Constellation Andromeda subscriber ship of the month.
After arriving safely at Lorville we ran into multiple client crashes and it took us some time to re group up. After Selwyn logged out for the night we SQ and I decided for one last cargo run. We go to spawn the Caterpillar and it would instantly disappear, so I claimed it. With the expedited claim time of seven minutes and thirty seconds, we decided to spawn a Starfarer. The ship spawns in we hop on and start the Starfarer on her extremely slow journey out of atmosphere.
Then we hatch a cunning plan, Why don't I respawn back at Lorville grab the cat and head out to Arial? So I do it, grab the Cat and head out. I land at Lathan just a few minutes behind SQ and we have the intent to fill both the Caterpillar and Starfarer full of cargo. The sell console doesn't have much Laranite but we take it all, then I load up the Starfarer full of Titanium, more Laranite spawns in after the tick and I top off the cat with Titanium. We head back to Lorville. We fly in formation coming into Lorville. SQ and I were just a few kilometers out from landing at Teasa spaceport for the last run of the day, what could possibly go wrong?
My client crashes. The Caterpillar is Stored at Hurston. Even after rejoining the instance I didn't re-spawn back in the cat. We were able to sell what was on the Starfarer but the Caterpillar was lost.
We ran out of luck.
An old phrase echos in my head, "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck," and I remember our cargo departments manta, Always Fly with Crew, they are your only insurance.
Reporting a loss of 129,660 for the day, details below:
