[ANNOUNCEMENT] Win an Nvidia Geforce Titan Black in our in-game Scavenger Hunt

what I don't get: why selling those cards only from ONE station?! The first IN will tell his friends and the community-goal is gone...

I stopped searching, instead of that I had 1-2 hour fun with others around the destination station :D :D
 
Two things:
1. As a rare commodity you'll be limited in the number of Titan Black that the station will allow you to keep in your cargo hold. I'm betting that the limit will be "1" so there will be no loading up on the commodity to drop outside the station or anything like that. Once you have your 1 titan black that will be it... get trucking CMDR.

2. There is an easy way to win without facing PVP or playing in open. Once you find your titan black contact a friend. A real friend. Someone you can trust. Have them wait INSIDE Godel Ring. Meanwhile you truck over to Godel in Solo mode, dock and then switch to Open. You both launch and you drop the cargo for your friend inside the station where he immediately scoops it up, just barely clears the letterbox, immediately requests docking and reverses back into the station. If he's a good friend he just gives you the card. If he's an okay friend you sell on eBay and split the cash. If you only thought he was your friend you shake your fist in anger.

2. Won't work. Read the rules again: it states from getting the canister to selling the canister you MUST be in open play
 
That Im to sure of, but do they let us know when we can stop searching?

If I am not mistaking totally, they will follow the same protocol as they did when publishing the first XXX... well... the first Triple Elite gamer:

- after carefully having examined the log files involved
- after carefully having examined every "first" claim for these 5 prizes,
will the FD come out with the official announcement.

Again "I", believe the first news on this matter will come from the "friends of the VERY FIRST FIVE", and only after the FD have had their due time to verify everything involved, will they come out with their announcement.

Stay put! Compete for the very 5!
And, Peace! :)

Ok, it would been very good if they tell us when to stop searching...

Perhaps there is a "plot" / a "conspiracy" behind all this urging towards "combined effort"?
One can never know for sure...
Anyway, the FD has their right to place the new item(s) on any place they ever want. And "we" have to only find them :)

On a more serious note,
- this "content-in-game" is again an addendum to what the gaming community has had up this date
- one can be, either selfish and not to share any info to anyone / or more of a co-operative type of a gamer if he/she is willing to share the info with his/her "friends/private group members"...open even.

-> the characters who are patient enough will eventually find the canisters, and hopefully share the info to their "group/community/who cares..." colleagus.

Is that "the name of this game", eventually?

That is one "urged" aspect/role in this game, as well. Carry on, Commander :)

fwiw i've gone through the online galnet archive and searched for Reynhardt IntelliSys and there are no previous mentions of the faction.

also i dont know what kind of life some of you are living but £900 is just shy of a month's income for me. the average annual income in the UK last I checked was something like £22-24k which after tax is going to work out at around a grand a month take home pay, and with rent/mortgage, bills etc on top of that your average person isn't going to have a lot left to blow on a graphics card.
 
They need to change the rules to state that the canister must spend its entire life in open play. Otherwise player A picks it up in solo, then drops it just outside the destination station for his friend in open play. Player b didnt break the rules.

DON'T PANIC!


They, the FD, will tell "us" when to stop searching when they announce the 5 lucky ones, in their forth-coming newsletters. You don't have to wait that long if You only trust on the messages published by us gamers on this forum. The latter means that I am pretty sure of not everyone of the Lucky Five, or their allied friends, can keep their mouth shut...their finger(s) off their keyboard.

Have some patience, and keep on grinding towards getting your "free" GFX Titan, friend.
I will not even try... :)

PS.
Do You have your towel on-board?

i've seen some posts on here about searching high tech systems because the graphics card is, y'know, technology, but it is also a computer component. which economies produce computer components? industrial.

before you get too excited though, i've checked the handful of industrial systems around leesti with trade routes into the system and nothing. sorry guys!
 
Anyone check Hutton Orbital?

Yeah I spent about 1.5 hours getting out here lmao. When I first arrived in Open Play there was a CMDR who was AFK in the only parking spot that Hutton Orbital has so I had to go Solo to check the commodities market. I was more surprised that Hutton only has one docking spot though...
 
I got excited when Wikipedia told me:

"This article is about the race of the Titans in Greek mythology. For the Greek sun-deity sometimes referred to as "Titan", see Helios."

Helios you say? There's only one system called Helios on the galaxy map!

Rest assured, no joy...

To taotoo,
please read again the original announcement and make a note on this:

"To be eligible to win one of the five cards, CMDRs taking part in this competition must remain in Open Play from the moment they obtain the Titan Black, to after they have sold it at Godel Ring."

So,
there is not a chance of anyone obtaining the very canister when playing in Solo, is there?

That's not what he said :p
 
Newsletter : "We expect the competition will move fast. Happy hunting, Commanders." !

How this could move fast if the spawn was random !

I will post all the infos I have about the possible hint "Reynhardt IntelliSys", because it's the only word that seems to be a clue !

Facts :
- Reynhardt IntelliSys is a faction (Independent Corporate)
- The only system where we can find them for now is Leesti (currently Civil War with this faction)
- Stations at Leesti don't sell the card
- Post from 10/02 : someone was looking for a system where he can collect the bounty for this faction : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=108789&page=123&p=1748369&viewfull=1#post1748369

Hypothesis :
- There may be another system with this faction and the card
- Maybe this system is Independent, Corporate, and need to sell Computer Component
- Post from 10/02 : maybe the faction was added in Patch 1.1 because FD know that there will be a contest about it later
- If "Reynhardt IntelliSys" is really a clue, maybe FD created the current Civil War at Leesti for this contest in order to easily find Leesti and this faction ! Why ? Maybe because there is another hint at Leesti that could lead to the system with the card !

Pick it up in open. Travel to station in solo. Drop it off for friend in open. Friend picks up and drops off in open.

Ehmm...
on a second thought on this topic...

TAOTOO seems to have raised a valid point on this matter up.

My bad.

For player A in Taotoo's example, yes, you're right. He wouldn't be eligible. But since you don't have to BUY the canister, player B would be in the clear - he obtained it in open and sold it in open. The only thing preventing this scheme would be the canisters not appearing in any other game mode AT ALL except open, and we have no proof that they don't.

Edit: ninja'd :)

This. This is how we need to be thinking guys, not bickering about the pros and cons of open/solo play xD

Off Topic: GITS!!!! Are you the Laughing Man, Am I? Are we all?

Hehe, alas there isn't one, but we've all done it. Say whoops and move on :D
 
Last system in my theory - there were 10 possible - 154,000LS out!!!!!


Will reveal later but I think some one else has the same idea as traffic has been 2 ships in last 24hrs - me and an adder in 6 of the 9 I have visited
