COMPLETED CG Protect Deliveries to the Laedla system (Bounty Hunting)

[Kietrax]

Summary

System: Laedla​

Station: Kummer Acropolis (Orbis Starport, large pads available, 170 Ls from main star, 123.93 Ly from Sol)​

Objective: Hand in Bounty Vouchers​

Time limit: 1^st September 3309 @ 06:00 UTC​

Description

Shipments of precious materials are needed in the Laedla system to build statues honouring the House of Duval.​

​

Archduke Otto Lombardo-Duval made a public announcement to launch the initiative:​

We are all relieved that our beloved Imperial Mother is on the path to recovery. In such times, we must remember how much all citizens owe to the Duval dynasty, whose thousand-year reign has brought peace and prosperity to trillions.

In honour of Her Majesty the Emperor and all those who came before her, I am arranging for mighty statues to adorn the public plazas of many Imperial worlds. Using the finest quality gold, jadeite and platinum, we will construct impressive monuments to the architects of our glorious Empire.

​

The Imperial Herald published a related piece by royal correspondent Gudrun Vestergaard:​

Archduke Otto Lombardo-Duval is the son of Prince Baylor Duval, one of Emperor Hesketh’s brothers, who married into the House of Lombardo nearly a century ago. This offshoot branch of the Imperial Family are survivors of the mass assassinations perpetrated by the NMLA, as a result of which their prominence among the nobility has risen.

Emperor Arissa has given the statues her personal blessing, but the mood within the palace is mixed. Some view Archduke Otto as having delusions of grandeur. Others consider him an opportunist looking to ingratiate himself with more prominent family members. But perhaps this is a simple gesture in good faith – a swift response to Florence Lavigny’s request for unity within the royal family.

​

Laedla Empire Assembly, which is providing logistical support and security for the project, will redeem bounty vouchers for wanted ships in the system at Kummer Acropolis.​

​

The campaign will run until 1^st September 3309. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.​

To earn rewards you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Bounty Vouchers at Kummer Acropolis. Only Bounty Vouchers handed in after signing up will count toward your personal contribution total.​

​

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your bounty vouchers will be automatically assigned to them. These bounty vouchers will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these bounty vouchers when they are handed in. The proportion of bounty vouchers assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.​

​

Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.​

​

Notes:

• Kummer Acropolis is orbiting planet Ford's Legacy
• Station services: Commodities Market, Shipyard, Outfitting, Repair, Restock, Refuel, Interstellar Factors
• Nearest Interstellar Factors (with "reasonable" super cruise distances, others are available):

Finaaaalllllyyy!

 

[shylph]

Yay! It's been a long time since the CG was held!
I was so happy, but why didn't fdev use a system where the empire faction has control as the venue?
According to Inara, there is not a single star system controlled by "Laedla Empire Assembly".

Laedla Empire Assembly, which is providing logistical support and security for the project, will redeem bounty vouchers for wanted ships in the system at Kummer Acropolis.

Only a small fraction of bounties appear to be counted towards this CG. Maybe the above means that only bounties for the given faction count.

I have never participated in Community Goals before and quite interested in giving it a go. What are the rewards for doing so? Not quite clear. I looked at Inara and it says Top 10 Commander 6 mill. Is this what I can hope to achieve? Doesn't seem much of a reward.

The reward will increase as the number of bounty payouts increases. That is, it is likely to see 10-20 million the reward.

Using KWS is the choice maight as well

First of all... Community Goal - supposedly you do it for the community, not necessarily for personal gains
However, for most of the CG types, the participants get the bulk of their income not from the Community Goals listed rewards, but directly from the activity required
For example, the top 25% commander has handed it 15 millions worth of bounties and on top of that the 2 millions from the tier payouts will add to it.
By the time the CG will finish, the Top 10 will get hundred of millions out of bounties, vastly dwarfing the GC tier payouts

Sure, not all CG work this way.

If you need credits, you should do other CG, deliveries. Buy and sell gold. This CG (bounty hunting) is for fun, for people who like PvE combat.

It's just a theory, isn't it?
Why would I (or any player) do something voluntarily for a bunch of monuments that he will never see, monuments to people he has never even heard of, and that have absolutely nothing to do with the current game?
I can do something in this game for personal gains or for fun or to help other players, that's it.

Ssh... we mercenaries cannot go out all the time showing our blunt side, some sugarcoating works from time to time

 

[muhhy]

I see that the initiative host is the minor faction Laedla Empire Assembly.
But the system is controlled by The Order of Mobius, so you should be receiving bounty vouchers issued by them when you kill a wanted ship in a unspecified place in the system.
Will the vouchers issued by OM count towards the points for the CG, or do we have to look for somewhere we can gain bounty vouchers issued by LEA?

 

[Untilting]

I'm having a senior moment - I can't seem to get my contributions to this CG to work.

I signed up for the protection CG yesterday, it's showing in my transactions panel. I killed a couple of interdicting pirates in the system and handed in those bounty vouchers yesterday, and killed a few more this morning for fun (always handing in using the normal administrator at Kummer Acropolis), but my bounty contributions are still showing as zero. I checked using the mission panel at Kummer Acropolis, and also after logging out & back in, so I don't think it's a UI refresh thing.

Am I just doing something spectacularly stupid? Is only a particular pirate faction being counted?

 

[Disemboweled Ego]

Yes only bounties for the owning faction in the CG system are counted usually, but the bounties can be from other systems if applicable.

The transaction panel on the ship can be horrendously slow to update so if you want fresh info check at the station instead as that will always be up to date.

 

[Shurimal]

It doesn't seem like Laedla Empire Assembly controls any star systems. Suggestions as to where to go hunting?

Try to find installations owned by them and do scenarios - but be advised that a scenario will not start the moment you drop at the installation, it may take time
For example Zeta Sphere Construction in Laedla
Or check Iah Lanitei - they own 3 installations there too

In previous protection CGs I've taken part in, any interdicting pirates (in the destination system of course) seemed to bump up my contribution when I handed them in. I never actually checked who they were wanted by

Is the difference here that the CG faction "Laedla Empire Assembly" doesn't control the system, just the delivery starport? So I need to kill pirates specifically with "Laedla Empire Assembly" bounties to count towards the CG?

yes, you need to equip a KWS and scan all pirates, you will probably get some with LEA bounties too
OR check the post above - find LEA owned installations and do scenarios - they're a good source of bounties

 

[Untilting]

Many thanks for the explanations, I think I'm finally up to speed now.

I thought I was going crazy, it's a relief to know it was just ignorance again - at least I can do something about that

Because they feel like it, sometimes it isn’t actually about us directly.
