COMPLETED CG Defeat Pirates in Planetary Rings of Dhan (Bounty Hunting)
- Thread starter Kietrax
- Start date
Thank you, and to your kind, for carrying out the progression of this CG on your own! And then, we wonder why FDev needed to add some new tiers... ;-)
Not blaming you, can't even say it's an exploit, you are simply using the game mechanics and FDev must know about it.
I participated 2 days only (mostly doing PvP), and 5 days later my contribution of 11 millions has kept me in the top 50%.
This is telling long about the "global" involvement of the player base...
BTW, for those who don't know:
Also, 1 billion credits after a week is fairly low compared to the 1 billion a day one can make with exobiology. Not sure what they are after other than get to the top 10?

Changed my mind :'-D
Doing a tad more hunting in the HAZ REZ for the community goal.
Fell in the shadow of the Gas Giant.
Some may switch on night vision so they can still see... but an old old old memory that stuck with me... from the age just as Horizons was released...
And so I won't switch on night vision... I simply stuck to fighting in the darkness, only relying on ship lights (and a bit of common sense to keep clear of the rocks) and at the first slither of "day" breaking over the horizon of the gas giant... I stopped and stared... remembering that day a random fellow in his Dropship helped me do some bounty hunting with me in my little Imperial eagle I had, and we took a break to watch that "sunrise"
Ain't no amount of double engineered modules... no amount of fleet carriers and afk cutters... that can take that memory from me... even though I completely forgot their name...
I've handed in 21,000,000 Cr in vouchers, but CG is saying I haven't contributed. I had to do it live, which was fun, to be fair. Unattended doesn't seem to work anymore, but it has been a couple of years since I logged in.I did sign up. I have a T10 super-tank build with self-defence beams.

There is a lag when submitting to CG's.
Check again tomorrow, it will be there.
Did you check your left side panel immediately after handing in the vouchers? That doesn't get updated until your next jump/log in. You can check the CG in the mission board to get the current values.
Other than that, possible mistakes could be you handed them in before you signed up for the CG, you handed them in at the wrong station or your vouchers were all invalid (for different non-Empire factions).
Yes, I think that is probably the only bulletproof way to get an instant update on your contribution (other than a relog if not at a station).
Yeah, it can be interesting to see how different CGs can take a very different trajectory on various things: total progress of course, but also total contributors and then the most interesting of all perhaps - the thresholds for the different bands (oddly also referred to as "tiers" in the Inara CG page, clashing with the progress tiers).
You always get some influx of players doing the bare minimum to get a reward (1 credit is enough for this one, but that's rare), and this pushes down the threshold for say the top 50% band. But then you also have the diehard players going at it for the top 10, and stretching the range of the top 25% band by an insane amount...
(IIRC, a CMDR built a website to track the CG progress and the bands vs time but I can't seem to find my bookmark for it.)
do you mean this place?
Community goals | Elite:Dangerous | INARA
The companion site for Elite:Dangerous with the game database, market data, trade routes, outfitting, engineers, blueprints, crafting, Thargoid war, squadrons, logbooks, galleries, galaxy information and much more...
inara.cz
That or maybe mine, but as the tiers aren't automatable, I don't track them.
No, sorry - I mainly meant the band thresholds rather than the overall progress.
Ah yes it might well have been yours, and in that case I may just have hallucinated the threshold information being tracked anywhere.
It now occurs to me to wonder if EDDN carries any CG information at all (or if Inara has to get all of the band thresholds etc. from its own users), and it looks like the answer is no - https://github.com/EDCD/EDDN/issues/208.
you need to stay away from that Onionhead lol
It's not about completion, it's the lack of extra rewards if you go up in percentages. If you kill 1, or 5000, it's the same, the reward is the same. What's the point of continuing to participate in the СG?
Credits in the game has long been garbage.
Hooomans are vain creatures in a world of little prestige or honour and will cling to even the smallest achievement to save their sanity from collapse...
Like say... getting to the top 10 of a CG in elite dangerous.
Personally I'm just hoping to get to the top 25%! But I tend to do other things like work, do some roleplay things, go fiddle with a ship build, play another game, wash dishes, etc. So my progress is a bit nipped.
Hopefully today I can push to top 25%!

Should only need around the 35Million mark to push into the top 25%
but we can drive them down and reduce pirate activity hopefully enough so regular folks feel safe enough to be in cruise ships, get married etc....
i'm doing my part, popping reds. i hope things get safer soon so that i can send for my family. my repair bill is totting up but the reward more than covers it,
