Members of a faction can also have bounties issued by said faction. So even if they belong to Community of the Vault... if they're wanted, light 'em up.
COMPLETED CG Protect Panther Clipper Mk II Shipments from Pirate Threats (Bounty Hunting)

Yup. I turned in 43 million and change in CG bounties I picked up in 2 hours or so at the HazRes in Lekan Yu. I also turned in 11 million and change in bounties the KWS picked up. I have my KWS bound to the same group as my lasers and engineered for fast scanning. While I'm draining their shields, the KWS is happily adding more credits to my eventual payout. It's effectively free money and while I'm not hurting for credits by any stretch of the imagination, more money never hurts.
Yeah, I've been tagging them here and there as well. At first I was hesitant and lit one up while ready to run if I got a Wanted status but nobody blinked when I popped them.
Well, for some reason I kept getting mauve adders while dropping into a haz res. So I had to get some bounties from a compromised nav beacon. Not sure what the problem there was. Fleet carrier spam? One would think other people's sessions wouldn't get in the way when you're in solo, so, beats me.

Tell me about it! I accidentally logged into open doing the trade CG and didn't realise until I was almost back at the CG station with my contributions and was interdicted. Surprised I lost the mini-game, then noticed the hollow triangle! At first I thought it was a squaddie messing with me and that he wouldn't kill me.... seconds before I blew up! I was on an alt and only wanted to make a minimal contribution, so was only in a dolphin luckily with not much of a rebuy, just slight inconvenience! Quickly relogged to PG before trying again.

Well, this game is a thing that I get onto when I can, as I have a hectic work life. So I tend not to try to commit to groups of people that I cannot back up.
Most people just do their thing and maybe some of them politely acknowledge you and go on their way. Some people make small talk. Some people are pirates and as annoying as they are, they add a certain flavour to the game with their "pay up and you're safe" type attitude. And then sadly you have the gankers, who appear to be growing in numbers. These guys actually just detract from the game in order to feed their own pitiful basement dwelling ego and just hang around areas that attract larger groups of people, so that thay can prey on others for no other reason than to get joy out of trying to destroy someone else's gameplay. Quite pitiful really.
IMHO, one thing Frontier could do in order to make the game more attractive to decent people and not have them leave a great game because of the ganking, would be to have a larger than usual number of security forces with well equiped ships that automatically drop into a player/player interdiction in the CG active zones and hunt down wanted players. This would at least make it more difficult for the gankers to hang around CG areas. I you are a wanted person and are into interdicting others for evil intent, this would make some think twice.
Cheers.
You can tell the people complaining about gankers have never played Eve Online. It's a valid play style. I don't do it in this game but I did in Eve because, that's what you do unless you were a high sec care bair. 
Don't like it? Then play in a PG or solo. OR make sure you set a system target nearby so when you get interdicted you can just submit and high wake out. Get jumped while in combat? All power to engines, chaff, heatsink, high wake out. Easy peasy.

In all the years I have played this is the first time I think I have ever done any CGs. I did see that my contributions show. How will I get my skin and decal and turret and such?
Do they just show up in outfitting?
Thank you.
Will the skin be available when I purchase the Clipper tomorrow?

That is why I play in solo. I am disabled due to a C-spine injury which makes my hands very uncoordinated so I can barely and rarely compete with a player. I have escaped from them before, but with my disability it is not even worth even clicking on open play. Before my injury and surgeries and hardware and permanent damage it would have been on like Donkey Kong.You can tell the people complaining about gankers have never played Eve Online.

The turret will show up in the outfitting of the CG station anytime from almost immediately to a couple of days after the CG completes.
Decal and skin should show up in livery on the same timescale.
Credits you get immediately upon clicking complete at the CG station or show up in your account two weeks later.
No the CG won’t complete until Thursday.
Post the name of the ganker so we can all block?
No naming and shaming.
Was that a "Git Gud or get off my lawn" post in disguise?You can tell the people complaining about gankers have never played Eve Online. It's a valid play style. I don't do it in this game but I did in Eve because, that's what you do unless you were a high sec care bair.
There's no shaming. It's an in-game name based on something that can be proven to happen in the game with logs. Naming gankers helps anyone else interested to build their block list.
There's a simple experiment you can perform easily yourself: Report your own post to the mods and ask them.
The link is in the lower left corner of your post - and no, I'm not going to do this.
I don't think people know how good they got it here to even have these options. How many other games like this let you opt out of pvp in other modes if you don't want to do it. In Eve you certainly can't. You can try to care bear in high sec space, but players can still get you if they want to. Suicide ganking is a thing.
More like "get mildly competent" post and not in disguise and certainly not get off my lawn. More like, pick your own lawn. The game offers several. Learning to set an emergency warp out point you can high wake to (can't be mass locked) to avoid gankers is Elite Dangerous 101. I learned it years ago and have seen it brought up in SEVERAL posts not only here, but on Reddit too. It saved my bacon a few times just in the last few CG's that I flew in open during. I like the extra sense of danger from knowing there might be gankers out there. I don't always fly in open, i'll use PG's when flying with PTN or AXI or Operation IDA, etc. I'll use solo when I'm engineering and just can't be bothered with all that. Anyway, the game gives us options that can suit anyone's play style. As the kids say, you do you.

the reboot thing to recharge shields. has this been tweaked at all? the last few times I have done a reboot my shields have not come back on. am 90% certain no one was in my vicinity when I did the reboot
you are correct .. other than a quick dabble to confirm it isn't my game I do not play eve online.... or counter strike or DOTA2. .... and the way it's going I am very worried that star citizen is becoming a game I may not want to play as well (which is a shame as I backed it)You can tell the people complaining about gankers have never played Eve Online.

the reason why I play elite is it is at its heart a single player game but with optional multiplayer.
it works for me!
if I had to choose and there was no elite dangerous....X would be far more my kind of game rather than EVE
