Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

On my way there to check it out.

Doing an amble back in that direction now - tbh i don't really have enough FC fuel to go as far as i'd like (onward towards Sag-A currently) - and i'm interested to see what kind of crowd this CG draws... polishing my Executioner while i wait for the next carrier jump :]

I was young when they were sold in the United States. I think it was around 1979 - 80. I remember the commercial: "Triumph - the shape of things to come". And the shape was a door wedge triangle. The car faded into it underneath the Triumph logo.
 
Um... where do I go to sign up for the CG? These are not something I've really attempted - tried one before, I think
Any station, via the mission board (the days of having to go to where the CG is are years gone). Whatever has to be delivered or cashed in has to be at the designated location for the side you signed up for, you can sign up for both sides of course.

Inara will have a progress page.

Everything has to be cashed in before the end time to count.
 
@Tyres O'Flaherty missions board, there a big logo screen there.above the normal missions board
Found it on the ship mission board. Couildn't see it at a station terminal - but then that's prolly me just missing the obvious.

EDIT: one CZ down, just a medium. Average payout. Moving to a high. Er... damn. It didnt take my bonds into account. Perhaps I neeed to be signed up before earning them rather than winning the CZ, then signing up, then handing them in.

Hmm... I was just doing a comparison beween my GPU/CPU versus the next step up the ladder.

Interestingly, the bang for buck isn't that great:


Yep, the effective CPU speed and GPU edge vs price increase there indicate you hit a sweeter spot - the extra 4 CPU cores seem a waste across the spread of game benchmarks there & the Ti seems somewhat overpriced at +50% cost for +10% performance :geek:

Last leg hop jump...

Looks like you have to relog to see if your bonds are counting in the CG.

I had to stop, but the high CZ in the system seems to be giving me a tidy ~7.2mCR each time. It's great to see the bonds doing more than just upping combat rank.

More tomorrow I think. Might even be in the running for a new paint job. We'll see...

I walked passed a yellow one on my way to primary school every day for what seemed like an eternity in the early 80s’ at a Triumph showroom, it was my dream car at the time. My Uncle bought one a few years back to do up as a ‘project’ and keeps trying to persuade me the fact it redlines at 9000rpm make it an ‘interesting’ car…all I know is there’s a damn
good reason Triumph fell by the wayside.

Not sure what this has to do with Elite Dangerous, if anything, but I can’t let a pic of a car that sums up much of my UK childhood (unemployment, recession, oil crisis, 3 day working weeks, shoddy workmanship, overpowering Unionisation and power cuts) go by without a reminiscing comment:)


….and I was bought up a Labour voter before any thinks I’m a dyed in the wool Tory.

Everything I have read in the threads about the two CGs in their section of the forums says that there are no additional rewards this time, last time there were some paint jobs but this time just some credits and the satisfaction of achieving the result for your chosen side.

Now that's odd. I know I read it somewhere there were two paint jobs for this, one pink one for a ship if you get in the top 75% and a blue one for a Cutter I think at 50%.

There was mention of it in sys chat too.

I'll have to look again later to make sure my brains haven't finally leaked from my ears. I was sure I saw it on Inara...
 
well once they stop the hangup on the two CG's i be happy.seems to work ok on pvt mode, but in open it hangs and it just a credit farming bonanza.tried 2 times yesterday to get the cg working both times i ended up with a stuck CG or a completely different ended to it.

1st it just went back to the starport and i had to run around concourse to reselected the CG.
2nd time i was back on the concourse only with the medical incident report.
