Is there anything special I need to do to join in with CtC?
I believe I destroyed a few Serco transports as they left the outpost but I don't see my name in the stats

darkgrey: whats you in game name? Are you sure you destroyed a serco ship with the name "transport" in is name. on the route from Sedina L2 going to Pyronis? Did you deliver the cargo?

The CtC will record the kill. I have never seen it not do so.

My in game name is DarkGrey.

Perhaps I missed the transport although I did take out bots around it. I didn't pick up and delivery the cargo.

I've just realised I still have the log file. It doesn't mention me (or anybody by name) destroying the transport - just that the transport was destroyed.

I'll assume for now that somebody else destroyed the transport and I'll try again. Think it might have been marcuse

I just needed to double check that I didn't have to sign up for a specific mission and that I could just fly to the transport and blow it up.

Thanks for info.

If you do destroy it and don't want to deliver the cargo just take it and dump it in an empty sector so the enemy doesn't recover it :)

I'm glad that more Itani's are getting interested in CTC.

I thought I'd do might bit for the Itani.

I'm also working on a CtC plugin. Nothing too clever - it tracks the location of the transport and sets your navigation waypoint to it. When you arrive at the transport location it can set an escape route back to the last station you visited. You can track either Itani or Serco transports.

I need to iron out a few bugs (minor coding issues). Once fixed I can release it if people think it'll be useful.
