Final Impressions of the Yembo Community Goal !!! (not for fans)

Galnet: Attention cmdr's. We are building a new outpost. Come and help for the big cause!!!

CMDR x: What do we get in return?

FD: You get special discounts on 'services'

CMDR X: what kind of services?

FD: It is a surprise.... work and haul!.... work and haul!

CMDR x: When do we need to stop working and hauling?

FD: We don't tell you... it is a surprise!!!

CMDR x: but we already have 1000 of the same space stations?

FD: Work and haul...! Work and haul...!

CMDR x: We worked 2 days now? We are not seeing anything changing?

FD: Work and haul...! Work and haul...! You'll see....

CMDR x: Help !! Help!! We are getting attacked by pirates... please we need some security over here!!

FD: WHAT? How dare you ask such thing. Space is dangerous, we can not provide such security. Your should know your life is worthless in this universe...
Now hurry up , we are running out of time!!!! Work and haul!

1 week has past and thousands cmdr's worked and hauled, ships have been destroyed and battles were won and lost.
A lot of cmdr's got killed, some escaped but losses were heavy and morale was low.
Yet, cmdr x somehow survived, persisted and kept working till the end for the benefit of the 'greater cause'

CMDR x: Ok mister, i worked 7 days. My ship is a wreck and my body is broken ... time is up and i did the best i could.

FD: Muahahaha.... here you have a 'copy' of a space station... now get out of my sight and be happy... Muahhaha...
Wait! One more thing cmdr x. I just recieved some intel report: system y is being invaded!
We need all the help we can get to repel these dangerous intruders from our society.

CMDR x: Ok thank you for the info... i will fly to the rescue immediately. Fear not, we will defend the system whatever the cost may be. Zzzzzzzzooooooof...

FD x: Muahhaaahahaha... those strange CMDR's do anything we say.
And they even think the NPC's are lacking some kind of intelligent behaviour? Mmmm...
Oh well... which 'event' should we 'inject' next?

FD Y: Let's organise a race true the galaxy.

FD X: Oh yes, great idea. That will keep them busy for a while... Muahhahaaahaaa!

Galnet: Attention attention to all CMDR's!
We organise the Big Space Race!! CMDR's who participate are expected at the entrance of Lincoln Dock at 18 feb...
The first person that will get to the core of the galaxy recieves 5.000.000. credits
Yes you heard it right... 5.000.000. credits and eternal galactic fame and glory!!!

... and so the story about cmdr x continues. Where will he go and what choices will he make on his quest for the galactic truth?

Not going to whine much but....

I knew what I was doing I hauled 11k mostly on a one way trip, I knew what kind of profits I was neglecting but as it was the first one I gave it a shot.
I made... about 10mil in clear profits from my 11k, hard to pin down exactly but I think if Id just stayed at my normal trade run Id have done 30m profit, so a loss of around 20m

I got 80k reward for my top 5%
no drama but im not rushing to do the next one.

Did you become allied with the stations factions as a reward?

Bravo. Was that just from the community goal or side missions that gave you the rep boost?



The Empire has a foot hold in Tanmark (the next likely Federation target) as a Viscount, I humbly request your support in ensuring that fold hold remains. If you'd rather not... that's fine :D

Btw. there is a new community goal in system Y!!! You might be interested if you like shooting stuff.
It is really exciting and we need you to defend the system from those cruel invaders!

CMDR x: Ok thank you ... i will fly to the rescue... so excited.

FD x: Muahhaaaaaaaaaahahaha... those stupid CMDR's do anything we say. What should we do next?

FD Y: Let's organise a race true the galaxy.

...and as if by magic, the space-station appeared!

This annoys me to a disproportionate degree. These space-stations must take years to construct! And yet, soon, it will just appear! I can't even put shelves up in the time it's taken for this story to run its course!

Totaly from the trading I only did the one rank mission, Im seeing this as normal if I trade heavy with a station Ill see them go green fairly quickly.

Ill load up and peek in on Tanmark, see what I can do.

out of interest, is it true that you don't see dynamic progress of seeing say a space station built, the devs essentially cut and paste one in after the event?

Wait what? The station just poofed out like that after the next server restart, not even some kind of progression?

By now I'd have thought they realized some of the basics of keeping people hooked; I personally quit some time early January because of all the (boredom and grind and pointlessness and ANTI-immersivenness) shall we call it $EDness... I don't think I posted an angry post before here but come on, this was the great 1.1 goal, and it's more of the same $EDness? Don't know what to say expect I surely won't buy any expansion pack.
