Community Event / Creation [CCN] Colonia Citizen Goal - Mining for the shipyard at Jaques

[Tharrn]

​

While the choice of available hulls in the Colony is currently severely limited the CCN nonetheless sees a need to considerably increase the stock of available raw materials for the construction of ships at Jaques Station, particularly to encourage the established producers of ship hulls to negotiate additional deals for the production of a more diverse set of licensed models with Jaques.
The needed materials are available from the belts of nearby systems and can be sold to either Jaques Station or Colonia Hub. Pilots who wish to contribute to this CCN initiative can enter the delivered tonnage of materials into the following spreadsheet.

The following badges will be awarded once this Colonia Citizen Goal has been completed (top 99%, top 33% and top 10% respectively):

​

The above three badges can be freely requested via the CCN community badge spreadsheet once the CCG has finished.
A link to a screenshot of each delivery has to be provided in the above spreadsheet to have the resources count towards the award of a special Top 10 contributor badge. The Commander providing the greatest percentage of materials from the overall gross production in the most resource categories (see list below) will be awarded with an additional one of a kind badge.

The CCG will run for one month starting on 01.10.2016 and concluding on 31.10.2016. The following resource types are counting towards this CCG:

Cobalt

Gold

Low Temperature Diamonds

Osmium

Palladium

Platinum

Praseodymium

Samarium

You can find more information about the Colonia Citizen Network here.

Disclaimer: There'll be no tangible ingame effects - this is just for fun for miners.

Bertrandite

Gallite

Indite

Low Temperature Diamonds

Painite

We are currently lacking a dedicated refinery station to make use of unrefined ores and I don't think we are building anything out of gems (good for tourism and potential export though).

Consider removing these if it's truly for ship production and add Cobalt to the list (there is actual demand for it at Colonia Hub).


Besides that I would prefer better module selection over expanded ship production.
(more gimbals for the new militia recruits and at least C grades for all the non mining equipment)

Nice one Tharrn! I shall be outfitting a mining ship at Jaques and getting involved

FYI New 2.2 stations' Colonia Dream and Malik Station are both refineries.

Oh this is really cool!
A community-led initiative where we all join in to have fun!
Taking part will also help you unlock the Mining and Osmium Badges as well as other social badges in the CCN Community Badges Project.

I'm open to support any miner with locating the requested resources.

Credentials are on the spreadsheet.

So yeah. I'm at Jaques and decided to get my Asp equipped for mining. Me, not being very smart, sold my Adv. Discovery Scanner to make room for a 2nd limpet controller. That's right: I completely forgot that I'd need the Discovery Scanner in order to locate someplace to do my mining. Of course, one system out I immediately realized my error and returned to Jaques ... only to discover that the only available scanner in outfitting is the BASIC one. Woe is me

Once 2.2 hits I'll be able to have my Mk III Cobra delivered along with it's Adv. scanner so that will bail me out for the trip back to the bubble.

You can buy all system data within 20 ly from the galaxy map while docked at Colonia. Bought data also cannot get lost, so you are free to participate in the splodey events. No need for any scanners to operate in the area.

I'm so dense. I didn't think of that. I haven't bought system data since Gamma. Thanks! Have some Rep.

Started mining for this CCG, Jaques system, inner ring planet 4
See you some day out there.

as a new miner

where is a good place to find these resources?

thanks..

The majority can be found in metallic asteroids (inner ring at Jaques station).

Diamonds are extremely rare and found inside icy asteroids. Cobalt is found in rocky asteroids.

I also have a lot of the belts around Colonia prospected: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteCCN/comments/5532rk/persistent_asteroids/?st=itwjb0su&sh=848f3e59

thank you for this information! +1

see you in the black

The sample of this is a good Cobalt asteroid: https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteMiners/comments/560vyj/a_grid_for_rings
Report back with a screenshot of the right prospector values to let me know that this approach to mapping and relocating asteroids in rings works.
edit: damnit I keep mixing up Cobalt and Coltan - a screenshot would still be nice. And I will probably try to map a few Cobalt ring asteroids in the future.

edit: first 3 Cobalt asteroids mapped inside the RES at the Hub

Srill two weeks to go and by selling to Colonia Hub miners can also help to keep to keep the Hub out of lockdown!

 

[THAXXAR]

How have I not seen this thread yet? I was mining all last night.....
I'll be sure to add to the sheet when I go mining today.

 

[Tharrn]

The Colonia Council would very much appreciate if all mined ores could be sold at COLONIA HUB to prevent further lockdowns.

 

[Ready Eagle]

I added the small amount I did to the sheet, but I had turned it in before I saw the Colonia Hub request.

I admit I am new,
But why would there be a lockdown, what causes them? or is that to deep to get into on this thread?
