Eh? I'm not signed up for DW2 but I've just jumped out to the Omega base to start mining tomorrow. The CG seems to be open to me.
Distant Worlds Mining CG now only CG for people do what you want

Why should sutch CG's be in teh bouble acording to you? We have enough stations atm. To have sutch CG in the bouble would have no beering on teh story of DW.
Not everybody it's unhappy as it makes sence this way. Mabe next time it's in the bouble. Sutch Oportunits spring up all over the bouble and rest of teh galaxy. Eather today or tomorrow, what is keeping
you away from playing well done? Just have a bear.
It is but really in the bouble it goes strong with CG you have the

Absolutely business ambivalence but redheads is a derogatory term in some parts they prefer you to use gingers instead of the RH word. It had not occurred to me that this CG would kill the game like the hair on Telly Sevalas. Do you think he used to be a ginger before 'the accident' btw?
Oh! hold on food is ready have to get off the forum for a bit.

I know this is an odd concept, but you could always...
y'know...
Fly to the CG and participate? It's only 5,000LY, which is just 100-odd jumps in an unengineered Asp. That's like, maybe an hour or two of travel, which for a Mining CG, is far, far less time you'll expend compared to the activity itself.
This is the problem with the community and CG's at the moment... the "baseline" CGs of "Go to arbitrary system X and grind Y activity" is the expectation now. Throw in something that adds some variety, like hauling corrosive salvage from Thargoids, or in this case, travel a couple thousand LY first, or heck, has there ever been a CG which will make you wanted? Do something different and the salt wells up from the community... same outrage as the FSS changes.
More like this thanks FD!

He's blazing his own trail as a sheep.
Ideally, I'd like to see CGs go from being handcrafted mechanisms to advance a predefined story to BGS events that would be triggered organically.
However, if the have to follow their current format, they should try to cover as broad an array of tasks and tastes as possible, doing each well, rather than aspiring to mediocrity that always targets quantity of participants rather than quality of content.
Also, 5k ly is well within reach of casual players, especially in the current state of the game.

Not for me... In my 4 years of ED I have travelled 5k ly exactly one single time... to unlock Palin. Self-destructed to get back.
In this case, could you please

During the Colonia CG I was and had been doing CGs for months, moving from CG to CG. Then I log in and see Colonia. Colonia!! That's like over there somewhere! Far, Far away!
And I thought to myself, Ben, that's just a step too far. What are they doing putting a CG in Colonia! Only mad dogs and English men go to Colonia. Well I can assure you, the editor of the Times was going to hear about this. I grabbed myself my favourite keyboard, plugged that bad boy in, got myself some Oreos and hot-chocolate, put on my fluffy slippers and began.
Dear Mr Fdev des... wait.. Someone else has commented... 'Arn't the people in Colonia entitled to some luvvin'?
Well that knocked the wind out of my keyboard. The RGB lights faded, then they pulsed at me. It was like I could almost hear them chanting in unison, 'Ben is greedy', 'Ben is greedy', 'Ben wants everything his own way'... Well I was flummoxed I tell ye. So I sat back and thought. I nibbled on one Orio and then another and another, and then my hot chocolate was gone. How can that be? I have a 2 gallon white enamel camping mug especially for letters-to-the-editor like this. How could it let me down. And now, the Orios are all gone too.
And then a funny thing happened. Through the haze, I heard a mollifying sound. I tried to focus, and the sounds got louder. It was like speech, but more melodic.... 'Always look on the bright side of life, uh huh, uh huh.
Soon I was singing along ' Life's a piece of manure we sometimes have to endure'.....
Yes, so! Look on the bright side, Colonia got to get their whatever they were building out in the sticks, and I got to play some other parts of Elite I hadn't for months.
For your entertainment to day;
always look on the bright side of life lyrics

GANK THE CG! Put whatever destination it has into conflict or something
I haven't put a lot of thought into this idea but couldn't we have a CG each week for Feds,Empire,alliance,independent and Colonial?
Surely each area or power would have their own groove going on.

I am part of the expedition, but I am not part of any group apart from the Crimson State Group. I won't make it to the CG in time, so I won't be able to partake. I have no issues with that myself. Not being able to do a CG for one week is not really the end of the world or even thread worthy in my view.
Perhaps. One of the reasons I think CGs tend to work fairly well in Colonia in terms of player support is that they *don't* happen weekly. We get about five a year, they're all for something reasonably important to the region, so we get together and put the effort in. If they were weekly I think we'd get bored of them fairly quickly.
Colonia does have the ~40 engineer blueprint upgrades going on, though, which is a bit like a CG but rather more flexible and interesting. I'd rather see more of that sort of thing than more CGs. (Station repairs are a similar type of thing for the main bubble)
In terms of the main bubble, with a few exceptions it's generally the same people doing CGs regardless of where they are. Adding more simultaneous CGs would just reduce the level of support each individual one got.
I think having CG's outside the bubble should happen alot more, im more likely to participate for sure.
You get to go to some part of the galaxy new and on your travel's can visit nebula or interesting systems people have found.
These things only last for a week anyway so OP dont get angry over it.
