There were no donation missions, even after exiting and reloaded into different groups 5 time :( So I decided to go to Robigo as I've heard it mentioned so many times and have no clue whats so special about it. I got about half way into that dead zone with endless no fuel suns and decided to turn back and refit my ship with more fuel tanks. With the stock fuel tank on an Asp Explorer and an A3 fuel scoop I go just everywhere, except to Robigo :(


AFAIK most guys are going to Cubeo for the planetary assault BB missions at Roskam (and other) station on the surface of 3A. But I've heard that the missions have become less plentiful over the last week or so. :(

Rubigo is quite doable in an Asp with no extra tanks. I've done it several times, albeit a few months ago. I usually don't let my tank get below 1/2 on that run so that I don't get stuck in the dwarf field. I run a 5A scoop so it's possible to 'scoop on the run' for the trip back with all of the heat on your tail. ;)


I use an A3 on my current build and entered what I call the "dead zone" with a full tank. I started the trip after Cubeo was dry. After hitting the 12th or 13th dead star in a row, and my fuel tank was a little over 1/2 at that point, I decided to check the map and was appalled at many more 'col' named star systems I still had to go through so I just set course for HIP 16607 and hoped for the best. I am going to assume that there are some interesting missions to be had at Robigo :)

Nothing... Just out of Surgery on Saturday and feel like a walking zombie....

I installed ED on my new laptop and I get 30fps at 4K with 960M (High settings)
So perhaps I can play when I am away from home also :)

Can''t risk flying yet. Most likley I will crash into the station...

Glad you are out an about. Nice Framerate for 4K on a Laptop.

If you don't want to risk flying, may I suggest Buggy crashing? Much cheaper, as much fun, and even bad drivers can fly a buggy! Landing best reserved for pilots. I fly my buggy often, and sometimes I can even land without explosions :)

Thanks mate... As soon as I feel a bit better I will try flying out of the station and perhaps the buggy.
On the good side, as I can't eat I already lost 4.5Kilos :)
