This is not okay, why haven't you spent your arxs on Panther yet?
Which is wrong...Easily done. Top 25/bottom 25, I too got mixed up.
I now see it that you need to be in the bottom 25% to not get the rewards. Ah, the joys of autism...
Deliver 1 ton and get 1+1 cargo racks or deliver X tons to be in the 75% group and get 2+2 cargo racks...
Already delivered ~9 Pantherloads over the weekend. Now I just dump one Pantherload of CMM-s every day into my carrier from the system I currently build out. Then dump that to the CG station once a week until the end. Should keep me in the top 50% comfortably and make me an extra billion credits for very little work
Hmm. Is it possible to spend credits in the game now? No matter how I play, they just grow.make me an extra billion credits for very little work
Hmmm how can I answer nicely??? I'm grumpy thran and a little bit self opinionated ? Ask anyone around here . But the story about a goat and the tree grub is definitely not true .....This is not okay, why haven't you spent your arxs on Panther yet?
Well, I want to build two additional Panthers—one for mining and one as a local hauler for colonization projects. That alone is a billion credit investment
...which is what I'm doing
Yes, I see it change constantly.
As new contributors sign up and contribute their first load of 1T - 1200T(?with PC?) the 75% goes down as more contributors are over the threshhold.
Then, as any of these dump more and more, they get INTO the 75% threshhold and the threshhold goes up.
EDIT - sorry, I was watching both the 75% threshold AND the 50% one - I kicked someone out of the 50% group as I moved into it and then the numbers shuffled for a while as they (the ones ONLY JUST in the 50% group), contributed more to get back into 50%!!!
50% threshold
Saw it yesterday - it was 6831T during the morning, with about 18,000 signed up. When got to 22,000, it went DOWN to around 6,200T.
Then in evening, with still around 22,000 people, went up to 7008T as, I assume, the new signees contributed more and more to get to either the 75% or 50%.
Now on 24,278 with 50% at 7,284T as at 12:46 UTC.
75% threshold
You may see 75% go down again this evening if many more sign up and dump 1 load.
BTW, I also think it doesn't matter if you do not sign up to Inara as it gets actual data from ED Servers at regular intervals (10 minutes or so? anyone?). I may be wrong.

For the existence of the CG, yes. For the threshold levels it does rely on people submitting data, but for a CG this large it'll have plenty of that to make the thresholds reasonably accurate.
I don't get what you are saying ... currently the threshold to get into 75% is 2762 - are you looking at the upper limit, i.e. the threshold to get into the top 50%?
Status now:

Let’s be honest — we all know the length of this CG has nothing to do with “giving every commander a chance to participate.” It’s clearly a filler CG meant to give the devs a break. And that’s fine — take a break! But don’t stretch a CG over four weeks and keep moving the goalposts by adding more tiers. We’ve already broken a record, I think, with 24,399 commanders contributing.
In fact, people are already talking about CG burnout. In the past, I felt they weren’t frequent enough, but now? Three in a row is too much. Some say, “You can just ignore them,” but not when there are four new engineered cargo racks on the line. You can’t.
But here’s the thing — you don’t need to drag a CG out for a month to claim you’re providing content. Most players would be happy if it ended next week, we got our rewards, and moved on.
Personally, I had planned an expedition with my FC far from the Bubble months ago, but I’ve been grounded here because of these CGs.
So do us a favor: don’t move the post again. Let the CG end when it reaches its already absurd goal.

Of course it is.
Take the most expensive Cutter you have, all A5s etc, fill it with gold and crash onto the station.
Rinse and repeat.
Nah - fill an unshielded Cutter with CMM and participate in the CG in open. Announce your intent and schedule on the forum, so everyone (on either side) gets a chance to participate.
For added complications, do the same while signed up with Archon Delaine.
P.S. Anyone knows how many hatch breakers can fit in one instance?
You need to resist the carrots out there. There is always an event or a sale around the corner...
Just another thought: if these cargo racks end up being compatible only with the Panther Clipper or ships that have the new specialized cargo slots, this could trigger one of the biggest backlashes FDev has faced.
Also, it’s about time they provide a solution for older ships to be SCO-optimized like the newer ones. Many legacy ships, like the Python, are steadily losing relevance — and SCO has become a necessity. Personally, I’ve been sticking with the Mandalay and the Corsair for most of my activities. I’m using my 720-ton Cutter for the CG because it’s still my best cargo ship, but imagine what’s going to happen to it once the Panther Clipper becomes available for in-game credits…

No, these are regular E grade cargo racks with engineering, not the new D class for the special slots.
Thank goodness!
Sorry, new player here. How did you find these stats? They're really helpful!
