Chilton Port (1200 LS, Large Pad) - System Kurughnaye (150LY from Cail) has been having 307.000 units of Narcotics for the past 2 hours. Profit is still 8600/ton.
Seems nobody other than me is using it. And i don't have the DB addon to cause an update to the outdated info on eddb.io.

Hope it helps the massive long-range participants
 
over 2000 tons delivered, I made my part for this evening :)
The first tier is 6M units (tomorrow morning?), the second is 100M, which makes nearly impossibile to terminate this CG earlier than the normal week expire. So this hunt will lead us to the 2.2 release for sure counting the upcoming CGs for others requests.

https://github.com/Marginal/EDMarketConnector/releases/tag/rel-216-1 no hassle, just a marker in the settings and it's automated, all data immediately transferred to multiple online databases like eddb, helps a lot in times like this :) if you can get around it's immersion braking nature.

I read it as 6m units for the clue, with a 100 million credit reward for the top 10%

It's confusing. At the top of the progress bar (in the place where in other CGs says "Tier X"), we have "Clue - 6M units - 100M top reward".
It makes no sense to me.

Other info:
"Global rewards if minimum target is met: Clue revealed"
"Rewards structure: Top 10% / 30% / 70% / 100%: Unlocked at First Tier"


"6M units" seems like our goal (our global progress and the state of the progress bar confirms it).
"Clue" is the global reward. Why is at the top of the progress bar?
"100M top reward"??? A tier? A reward? To whom?

As in 100M Cr for the top 10.

Most CGs have multiple tiers so you get an idea of what they will pay out before they end.
That isn't possible with a single tier CG

In day to day, professional, life I'm a long-time user and active member of the stackoverflow community (search 'Andras Zoltan' in google and check out the first result from stackoverflow.com).

Why is that important? Well, it's not, really, except to say that that community has struggled with how to welcome 'noobs' in, in such a way that encourages them to improve their questions whilst also motivating them to become contributing members of that community, rather than presenting a wall of 'clique' to any and all who stumbles on a Q+A.

Bottom line: Yes, everyone *should* read the FP, but not everyone will, but they might do if they knew that's where to find the answers to questions they have.

And then there's the potential members of the community: those who do a google search and stumble on this thread: if they see posts from helpful people answering questions in a non-salty manner, encouraging people to get involved, then there's a greater likelihood they'll create a profile and do so.

So please, everyone: remember - not everyone is an old hand at this thread stuff, or the game or its mysteries, but if somebody takes the time to get involved, then the least we can all do is recognise that effort, acknowledge the courage in joining such a mammoth discussion, and respond with positivity and civility.

This whole little community lives and dies on its ability to attract people in alongside keeping hold of the people it already has - and it's everyone's responsibility to ensure that we are welcoming and appreciative of all new and existing efforts. Denigrating a new poster for not reading the FP or whatever is lazy: being forgiving, tolerant and helpful takes effort, and I'd hope we all share the desire to put that effort in.

The community is king here, we all own a stake in it, and with that stake comes responsibility: make sure you're worthy of it.

Wise words indeed ''Lord Zoltan'', and if there was ever a game that needed a good forum...well this is it, so everyone remember you were all flying Sidewinders as rookies once. Onionhead for everyone !

I think the 100M tier is there to prevent an early completion, nothing more. Unlike the bajilion fish in yesterday's CG for Kohl, this has a more humane number set, but for various reasons (mostly narcotic supplies are not as common as the vast majority of items for other CGs), it is still not realistic to be reached early - and i don't think we should worry about it at all.

Even on an RP level, it wouldn't make any sense because that's way more than all narcotics supplies added together for the entire human race plus all additional ones produced in a week. 100M under RP glasses is would not be an effort on the free navy pilots (or what players are called) but actually an insane pressure for the entire human race to focus on producing that amount of narcotics in a week - good luck with that on any society, fictional or not, when you're asking, out of all products, to focus all human efforts for drugs requested by a single individual - you would be laughed at :)
 
Just made my first contribution on my way in from Deciat after FINALLY getting my first ever tier 5 FSD upgrade (can do better when I get more mats but it's good for now), but anyone willing to make the trip Dobrovolskiy Ring in Parenses has about 25k in stock at the moment.

Its a simple case of frontier havent laid it out in a understandable way, its a bit confusing and confusion leads to well more confusion

6 mil units to be delivered for a successful CG, 100m for the commander with the top tonnage or 10% commanders tonnage wise

to get top 10% atm u need to be in the top 400 commanders ( current contributors signed up is abut 4000) which if u have a decent sized trade ship and range ( 100tonnes and at least 14-20LY) then and say 4-6 hours in the next 12 hours getting pretty close should be easy
 
I just want to say that from a lot of experience of CGs it is my firm belief that this CG in Cali will complete at 6 million tonnes, the 100 million is referring to the reward for the top 10 % of the contributors, the remaining percentages are unknown. Global rewards (clue) and personal rewards are two separate entitys.

This format, with ambiguous and incomplete information written next to the tier bar was used for many weeks last year. It caused a lot of confusion and anger for many players who could not always clearly decipher the info they were given. This was relayed by my self and other CG thread users to FD multiple times and eventually phased out.
 
Yea no one's getting to 100 million on the narcotics CG, it's just a ceiling, the clue will be there sometime in the early hours I suspect CMR's. This thing has got a lot of CMR's rushing over the Galaxy scooping up any drugs that they see, quite funny I thought, someone is stockpiling them and is then going to have a party with Jack I am guessing, that's how the station got so bad in the first place....The Onion-Head Bash got out of hand and CMR's were selling parts of the station for more Onion-Head I fear.

the profits from this alone are going to buy me a anaconda with full upgrades
