ACTIVE CG Brewer corporation calls for Trailblazer resupply

[Jumpin' Jack Flash]

Hi

There are commanders who have no interest in hauling anything, yet cargo-related stuff seems to be the latest craze.

I'm waiting for a CG that isn't based on having to haul crap, or shoot something!

Explorers and Exobiologists unite!

Yikes!...these CG's seem to be coming thick and fast!
I'll probably contribute to this one, though.....

Explorers and Exobiologists unite!

I definitely agree, some 'progress' in that direction would be welcome!
I'm not sure what though, perhaps a new round of new biological stuff, or even some fauna might be interesting perhaps. and the old chestnut...some progress with more involved atmospheric effects and new geological features....water, I need water...gasp! ....

Jack

Usual half baked idea, where are the Class 7 and 8's? Oh wait, they would be useful, can't have that, said the spread sheet designer's.

Never mind the sheeple's will be scoffing this week old kipper like It's caviar.

And yes I will still be doing the CG, still don't like the, like it or lump it view I have.

It's

Give somebody an inch and they'll take a yard...

It is fine as it is, having everything at once is just boring...

The cargo racks in this CG are genious. They may only give the equivalent to the max cargo capacity of a Mamba, but the brain sees Cutter/T9 break the 800t barrier and the Panther breaking the 1300t barrier. Rationalize how you will, can't escape how our brains are wired. There's a reason why there are so many products out there with a price tag ending on .99.

It's

It's a CG offering a useful module and has a really low barrier to entry. It's doesn't take much time or effort to reach the top 75%.

I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on some Class 7 and 8 pre-engineered cargo racks. Maybe we'll get those in a later CG.

Here we are.
Pure pay to win.

Buy the panther for real money, use it to win the COMPETATIVE goal by finishing in the top 75% easily for the new cargo racks. Future COMPETATIVE hauling cgs will then also be won easier.

There is no argument here. This is pure pay to win. Good work everyone, you promoting it.

I just hope fdev add these as an purchase for mats as well when CG ends

Not to mention gas at 2.99 9 where the little 9 is often ignored. Its 3 dollars guys, that little 9 is 9/10ths of a cent. For all intents and purposes, that's pretty much another cent.

Interestingly (I thought) I was just attacked by LYR power security heading with my 1236T titanium into Starlace at Minerva (in solo). A first for me!

First the SCO, now engineered cargo racks ... maybe LYR has had enough of these new tech upstarts?

Define "win" in this CG...

 

[Cmdr. Numa]

Define "win" in this CG...

A top 10 spot in this CG is probably impossible without a Panther.

 

[huehnerfaust]

Me too!
I still can remember the times when cg's unlocked the availbly to purchase them after completing via a tech broker for everyone and only the top contributors got an 'early free' one for there contribution...

 

[Michael Ryan]

A top 10 spot in this CG is probably impossible without a Panther.

Ok, if this is definition of "win" here, but it is still impossible without enormous amount of time too, even with Panther. And we know that time is money

I tried yestreday to do Top 10. Irrelevant grind, even if a bit satysfying.
Before Panther probably possible only with Cutter, because of it's speed... so still a lot of walls. PC2 for ARX is just for a while.

And still top 75% is easy to achieve even without L pad ship.


For clarification: my question was real, because for me "win" means just "nice time spend when I am playing", so I really didn't catch what means win except 75% goal what is pretty easy. And OP said about this goal.
And needs to remind, that one cargo rack from each size is for juist paticipate, what is really like nothing.

And possibility that cargo racks will come to the game after CG anyway, as usual, so still... no need to worry about.

Yeah, one of my alt accounts got attacked by power security so I made it defect to avoid further incidents

There are enough CG modules that haven't been made available in any other way, it's by no means certain they ever will.

 

[Michael Ryan]

And there is a lot of modules available right after CG even more valuable than just 11 or 22 tones of cargo more... and a lot of people were mad that they did a lot of affort in CG and day after it ends modules are easy to buy... so... it's always like that. I really don't see important reason to grumble for P2W, because you need to do 1 run more to have 75% goal, because this is the reason why I started talking about it.

 

[Ralph Vargr]

Whoa, now what to do with these up to 66t extra ? Get 1200t shielded on a Panther ? Or for players like me who boycott early ARXess get the Cutter over 800t ? Or getting the T8 to 450t ? I imagine those cargo racks will be swapped between ships quite often. Btw., Servers are fine, the internet must have broken somwhere.

Yes, the T8 will be very, very happy.

 

[Ralph Vargr]

... and thankfully I have all those commodities available near my colonization spots already. I don't think I've visited one in a few weeks at least, emergency power cells and some high tech commodities aside.

But I guess they did realize it'd look a bit silly to run this CG and still have nearly a million tons of each metal available at the Trailblazers. Now when can we make emergency power cells of our own at stations Frontier

CMM. Ceramic Composites. Those two are the ones my meth lab can't produce.

 

[Michael Ryan]

Yes, the T8 will be very, very happy.

esp on the Rackham's Peak haha

If there is no wining then why do it ? 75% isn't winning it's just participating. You win more credits and bragging rights . I don't have a problem with a hauling CG when the best hauler is available to all . When Fdev are asking money and then bringing a CG for Hauling then their methods are dubious at the least . As with CG rewards they aren't available to all even after completion.
But it depends on your definition of winning in game .
