When I got there I checked some of the prices and the main rate was something like 2x full buy cost.
So my corvette would cost about a 1.2 billion to move out there. And take two weeks or something.

Hell, I'd do it for 1/2 that - and be there in less than a week!
It's time to give this another go.

Am off to Colonia, only 18000 Light years to go, space is big, very big. Aspx is the best one for the trip, the VR works better for the Rift. I took the Conada out just to test it but the Apsx is more suited for the task and better view. Soon I will discover the real price of ships transfers to Colonia, did a credit building run for the last couple weeks to pay for the cost if I stay there for a few months, semi-long haul passengers, did a portion of the road to riches, smuggling, and a bunch of CZone 108 kill mission.

Ship transfers to Colonia cost roughly 130% of the ship's value. If you are not an alpha/beta backer, rebuy * 26 is a good rule of thumb.

Last night, I arrived to Colonia in my ASPX. Looking for something to do in Colonia besides exploring after a month of exploring/traveling here. Will be back to exploring after a break.

Yes, expensive ships should be flown out rather than having them shipped.

The Beagle Point Expedition leaves Colonia at the start of January.

Well, I am beginning still. Doing the training missions with the loaned Sidewinder (my S.S. Solidarity - renaming the ship, first thing I did).
Once I feel comfortable (and once knowing my key+Joystick bindings), I will do the first available missions - Let's see what these will be. I will keep you updated.

Check out the latest season of "From Zero to Hero" by Commander ChaosWulff on YouTube. When I started in 2.0, one of the earlier seasons helped me a lot to get into the game. There is also the "new commander welcome pack" on imgur with tons of useful reference charts/pics.

Yes a better plan, I stripped the Mods from 4 Ships, those can be purchased out here. The others including mods are on the way ETA 01:30 Sunday. Not cheap, nor cheaper than what I first thoughts did earn 85% of the total shipping expense before heading out. Hope to stay a few months. Need a change for a change. :) The Rift is helping with that. Located 45 or 47 Systems here a couple good ones for Planet Scans, Courier runs and some kills, easy to stack.
