Colonia Engineer Unlock Trip - I Will Fly You To Colonia

[@Dilhack]

He is legitimately setting up an intersystem island cruise with off-ship tourism and boarding times. This game is awesome.

[@chungisyoung4good]

There will be a short detour where we need to mine for minerals and sell them at low prices.

[@SangTheCryptek]

It would be more impressive if the game allowed for payments between players/groups. Then stuff like this would become more commonplace and the game would actually grow.

[@kinddank7258]

By colonia do you mean "labor camp"? 😆

[@themountainsleeps]

"Got some great mining builds and spots for you to mind for me-F-FOR YOU, I mean, for YOU... 👀"

[@mjrlunpersonal]

When D2EA goes to colonia and comes back, I'm gonna bring back my krait mk2 I had to abandon there. Long live Pteranodon!

[@caltheuntitled8021]

Out of curiosity, how much would it cost to get it sent back to the bubble and how long would it take?

[@ravennexusmh]

@@caltheuntitled8021 not sure about a krait. But I abandoned my dbx there to sidewinder suicide back to the bubble to have fun with the recent bombing runs. Cost me 8.5mill and about 60hrs for it to shuttle back Assuming a krait being heavier would be more. But not massively.

[@resteasyln5931]

Plot twist, he takes us to the anaconda graveyard and makes us mine for him to get out.

[@SebastienTheIncubus]

honestly.... that would be fucking beautiful

Its a trick hes going to mass kidnapp noobs and start a new bubble called astronautus.

[@lightfighter685]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@NinjaZXRR]

Or leave us half way between the bubble and HIP 58832, with only one star and no planets lol

[@stewart113]

Fresh CMDR Limpets

[@antontaylor4530]

If you're prepping, and need selenium: HIP 83204. Go to 3 b a - Selenium drops as common. 5.01 selenium on this planet. Scan planet, drop in on Geo1, get in SRV, grab all the easily farmed crystals (ignore the piceous cobble and anything on a ledge etc). Jump back in ship, go to Geo2, rinse and repeat. I do it in a sidewinder I keep at "Ciferri Ring" in the same system, as it's much easier to land a sidewinder in some of the geo's. For the rest of the element materials, I use HIP 36601 and Outotz LS-K d8-3.

New CMDR here, your channel has been extremely helpful with getting started in ED, looking forward the trip!

[@Jan_von_Gratschoff]

Given recent events, this sounds a bit iffy tbh :D

[@rgsmith1966]

Hahaha... I can assure you Astro isn't looking to be a slaver. :)

[@lordofentropy]

You just know someone is going to get their fleet carrier named close, like DZEA NorthStar, or one of the characters is like an umlaut or some other character, something that throws a few people off.

[@spry_guy]

I guess we should bring a ship with a long jump range just in case ; )

[@cssLiquicity]

xDD

[@flashpointbbq]

Love your videos. This is a good opportunity you are offering to people. Safe travels.

[@ivanputignef2418]

Loved how you felt you had to put the FREE in the title, in the wake of the latest events! It's unnecessary, you're an asset for the community!

What you can also do is buy a load of the progenitor cells in the bubble and sell them when we're there to the peaple that need them

[@Minotaur1975]

This is a great idea, however I almost feel like I need to "earn" these engineers by travelling out there myself :)

[@mtpaley1]

Loaded with 202T Procrastinator Cells, 12T freshly mined Osmium (extra because just incase) and 11M of exploration data. Got some general bounty vouchers but not sure if they will be accepted in Colonia so bringing a bruiser incase I need to do any local fighting. Python is my general ship to bring the cells and do any missions for Colonia Council.

[@LeCalmar]

Did the slavers inspire you?

[@Hodoodle]

I think he was doing this before the slavers made the news.

[@kalekold]

C'mon people there's puppies and candy on his fleet carrier! ...btw bring a mining ship! 😏

[@NinjaZXRR]

I parked my cutter on the D2A Northstar I’ll be staying out there though, I’ll return to the bubble on my own in a few months after exploring more of the galactic Core. But I’ll hitch a ride to see that death planet. Exploring with a Cutter isn’t the best ship for exploring but I love that Ship.

[@Hustada]

I just arrived in Colonia for the first time about an hour ago.

[@stuartaparker]

Think I may have to come along for the ride, on xbox.

[@mr.gamenervy7357]

Thank you for this Astro :-) I've been so burned out with Elite for the last few months, now there's something to focus on!

[@5dodot5]

Thank you for the offer, but I'm already underway on a sightseeing trip to colonia in my adder😂.

[@capttom144]

Thanks for the opportunity and the detailed instructions on the engineers..not sure if I can unlock 'em since there are so many things to keep in mind.. But I'm looking forward to that trip since it's the only community event I am a part of.. 👍 I guess, you won't send us all into the mines though.. 😂

[@4von4]

You are a real gem to the community!

[@thedevilguy5255]

Crazy how I was looking at engineers in colonia to go back to get the higher grade blueprints since I can’t in the bubble then yt recommends this, it’s like D2EA knew I wanted to go

[@PsyMan2022]

I left Sag A heading for Colonia yesterday and am 160 jumps out, hopefully meet up with the trip when D2EA arrives if I don't get sidetracked (which happens a lot :-). Wanted to do it myself. then on to the proper black :-)

[@Aphoticllumine]

I really wish that I could go along, however, I haven't done anything with engineers as I just started playing the game in the past week. I hope at some point, you might offer another trip like this, for some of us newer players. :)

[@pipelinecowboy]

I can't wait! I bet there are over 1000 people signed up to go ! 🤙🏽

[@omightyyoda]

Mama told me not to take rides from strangers... ;-)

[@fedora3841]

used to play elite dangerous on xbox one for 2 years, in that time and since switching to PC i've never been to colonia, considering this trip now =)

[@ectogambit]

Thats super nice of you.

[@Charlie_Echo]

Could you put a buy order for Progenitor Cells so that commanders can stock your carrier up with them before you go? (I'm not sure I understand how FCs work so apologies if I've missed something.)

[@tgpips1128]

You can buy them out there easily enough.

[@Charlie_Echo]

@@tgpips1128 As Astro points out in the video, there may not be enough stock for everybody

[@tgpips1128]

I just stopped off at Whirling Station in Ogmar. Seems they only have 17 right now in open play. Though there are other systems here with stations that sell them.

[@Charlie_Echo]

@@tgpips1128 17 isn't many. As you probably know, each commander on the trip will need 200. At 14:06 Astro shows how many are sold in Colonia overall.

[@technoviking2415]

Nice. Thats good for people who cant be bothered flying to colonia.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Yeah, it is actually far easier to travel there with neutron highway than using a carrier..

[@bigc208]

Cool initiative. If I’m home I’ll join in.

[@edebussc]

I just flew out to Colonia in my Asp Explorer. The trip was long but persistence got me here. Now, I kinda want to go back to the bubble. Mind if I hitch a ride back? :) Colonia is cool though, I like the... smallness of it? It's quaint.

[@jadlak]

How did this go? Are you contemplating doing it again?

[@brentkeller3826]

Have close in and medium Combat Air Patrol screens? Designate two or so AWACS teams, A crew and B crew? Why, why not?

[@KyleDYanak]

Would it make sense to sell Progenitor Cells to the D2EA Northstar prior to the trip? Bring the supply ourselves?

I am already out in Colonia with 3 ships and would love a ride back. I normally play in Solo. Do I have to join open to see your carrier and get my ships onboard?

[@lordofentropy]

Fleet Carriers show up in solo for me.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

Nope, just be in right sector in right time then his carrier will be there and dock then call your other ships into his carrier. PS: I never called my ships to somebody else's carrier but did that in my own so it should be also allowed in other carriers i think. They are just mobile stations there is no difference at all

[@justbuyintime5157]

Noooooo why does my schedule have to be so bad I’m gonna miss this. I could get on but would not be able to disembark on the 26th because I’ll be away and the next day I could get on would be late on the 28th. Doubt I’d be able to get anything done.
