traffic report is crap, it counts every single hyperspace drop into a system, so one commander who is trading between systems is counted numerous times.
7000 is about 2% of the player base, given it is somewhere around 300k, doesn't really seem like a lot to me.
I hope it really was a TEST
About this goal, the fact that there was only one station where we could sell metal, was the biggest drawback, i hit several players going in and out, also the station production was terrible, so trading was barely profitable.
Also a reward of credits is silly, since not only was it very low, it felt like a bad-generated mission from the bulletin board(like the station giving missions for scrap and hydrogen fuel, which it did produce itself). A better and more attractive reward should have been some rare/unique module, weapon or ammo(like improved damage on projectile guns, or longer lasting effect on chaff, or other ideas, this are mine from a 2 minutes thinking)
If this mission reward was something like higher rating cargo racks with more capacity, or scan shielded racks, traders/pirates/smugglers would have been very interested. Instead getting just 80.000 credits after about 6 days of delivering metal was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointing, nearly had to cry myself to sleep (
).
Since the mission title was something like "Community Goal Test", i hope this test makes a better future for the community.

After server restart along with a new station, right?
Is the "big list" different than the DDF/DDA? What's the chances of posting the "big list" so we can all refer people to it (like we used to do with the DDF/DDA) when someone asks a question about possible future updates? If it's all a secret, why is that?
Thanks for update Sandro. I suggest 'station builder' or similar decal as one of rewards
Excellent Sandro, can I ask that we are notified somehow on Galnet to the 'discounts' being live please?
Thanks.
Hello Sandro
was it a mistake the metal prices on Nadd Terminal collapsed hours before the Community Goal deadline was reached?

will you also increase the variety of goasl possible ( and the size of them from very small to very large and the time of each one to suit from 3 days to 1 month perhaps, be creative with the bg list)
Can you give us a little notice in advance if when they will activate please as I've moved out of the system now as I suspect many others have too. It'll take me a while to fly back there if I do want to use the discount.
Just a suggestion but perhaps in future you could consider giving us a discount at any station within the same faction so that we could avoid the problem.
This - people don't want to hang around to receive a relatively minor discount. Perhaps the organising faction could arrange a discount at an allied system a few dozen LY away, as a cookie crumb trail to the next community goal?
Yeah, I guess that list must be big indeed.
Probably depends on who they are and what they're buying. I wouldn't for a C1 Pulse laser, but if I'm buying an Anaconda, I'll burn the fuel.

So questions:
Where they not already ready to be handed out when the goal was started? Why isn't this a switch? The manual intervention is kinda worrying.
How does the variety of awards in the future impact THIS award? Were you not sure what we were going to get?
**while grabbing a popcorn bag** Told you, community goals = beta testing...
The station build goal reached it's timeline. However the combat zone goal was completed by the community before the deadline came. We all reached Tier 8 and gained an even bigger global reward as a result (way to go team!)

Most quoted quote of the Day!
----
Some notes:
1. My original post (back on page 2 or 3...) was tongue in cheek, but I do hope that "Station Services" extend beyond Gas & Repairs...cause that would be "sucktastic" to quote my son.
2. FD needs to remove "goal" from "Construction goal" - this was a timed event. It started, some cmdrs did it, and it ended regardless of how much was delivered. Might have been funny if the station was built with 104 tons of gold. There was no "goal" except to see how many people showed up to do it. Hence the "Test" in the mission title. Seriously it said "Station Supply Test" (or something similar). Couldn't have screamed "FEATURE BETA TESTING IN PROGRESS" any louder. If there were any goals, they were the tiers for better "loot" which were entirely too vague (obviously) and...lame (sorry FD)...since we are still discussing.
3. I was making 1500+/ton on gold from a 3 jump run from a system I call home and am allied with. I was able to make a 3 station loop and make 300k runs in my Type 6 plus I had a steady supply of missions which kept me from getting bored of the new station supply run grind. I probably made 3 mil over the course of the event and I wasn't trying hard...kept getting distracted by nice side missions. Which...
4. brings me to point 4 - More interactive missions that mesh with the community goal would have been great...instead they were the same old ones. This could have also helped the pirate problem if there had been a few "Kill 999 pirates in Yembo...Please!" and then have your pirate kills add to the community goal (hint, hint FD)...maybe 1 pirate = 10 tons of biowaste...
5. Station construction - FD seriously needs to consider not just magicking this in to place...even if it is constructed relatively (ie unrealistically) quickly (say...2 weeks?), this is not WoW after all. Another community goal maybe?

6.another FYI to FD (if they read this) - Any price reductions need to be really super obvious! In other words, just like the supermarket: Regular price/Sale price. Otherwise we will have the forum filled with "I didn't get my discount" whiners. I'm stocking up on the cheddar for that lovely thread.
