COMPLETED CG Security for Year's End Festivities (Bounty Hunting)

[Craith]

Ok guys, if you really want to get into the spirit of this CG, you'll bounty hunt with those Cobras you have gathering dust at Jameson. If you're going to be getting a paintjob, you should at least be flying the ship it's for

(God I forgot how much I like flying my Cobra - no other ship sounds quite like it, among other reasons)

Great idea, but still doing it in my Eagle. Sorry Cobra. But at least she'll be collecting dust on a new paintjob soon.

I'm using my shiny new Corvette that I picked up at the Fed discount. It's got me sitting in the top 10% ATM.

In these neighboring system HAZ RES do we have to KWS them for it to count if we turn in at Davies High? If the CG faction is present in the system we kill in?

 

[GraphiteGB]

They have to be the controlling system faction to automaticly give the correct bounties other wise KWS is needed to get bounties that match the CG alliance factions...

Reorte Mining Coalition
Reorte Democrats
Alliance Rapid-reaction Corps
Workers of Lave Liberals
Reorte Focus
if the system does not have 1 of these as the controlling faction then KWS is needed..

Last night I was BH at Reorte's nav beacon in my humble Eagle, and I was able to reach 75% contribution. I wasn't expecting that.

Speaking of nav beacons, instead of giving us Haz Res for these CGs, I personally rather have a compromised nav beacon. The idea that it is "compromised" feels more immersive than the typical fishing hole that a RES is, and I get much better performance in VR at a nav beacon than I do in a very busy ring.

 

[Berpol]

I would prefer it if the pirates were really hunting the traders.
That way you could escort them or jump into an already existing fight instead of going after some who moonlight at a compromised nav beacon or are going after some miners (who have nothing to do with the trade CG).

Where is the hazRes - Reorte?
I was in Flechti hazRes, but the spawn has dried-up today. So looking for something new.

Spawns are RNG... you have to cycle the instance at all locations...
Reorte has been strip mined by the mining system faction owner the system is depleted... this means no Haz res...
but the company has expanded the mining to new systems... so has not strip mined them

This is definitely the superior solution, but I don't know if it's trivial for Frontier to "activate" without updating the game itself.

That depends on how it is implemented. As they do not do it I guess they can't just put the slider for "Danger from Pirates" to 9000 during the CG.

 

[Fenwe]

Are you using the nav beacon or only the honk...
Use the nav beacon and FSS to look at every planet with rings...

Have you been to the Allaince Flechti system planet A4 yet, has rings... low security ( pirates love low security) and has large pads station in system for repair...
and is run by the CG station group.. about 18ly from CG system...

Thanks boss!

 

[GraphiteGB]

Workers of Lave Liberals have a system about 30ly which also has res site... if the other ones too popular in open... be...
Happy
Interactive.
Positive
. And get about
67458 ships to shoot at in a haz res site

Spoiler: system location in case your colour blind...

HIP 67458

We should form an Eagle wing - currently top 50%, but want to at least reach 25%, maybe if I have some time I'll go for top 10%

Been so long since I've flown anything but a vette or conda for combat I was struggling to and mostly failing at outmaneuvering an elite npc conda while in a FAS. I was gonna blame it on recent flight control thumb stick remapping, but later had no problems outflying another elite conda while piloting my own. Guess I just suck at flying the small'n'fast ones now. Might go grab the FDL and see how comical that turns out. Don't reckon I've even updated its weapons since 2.4.

I was at the haz res in Flechti, and got Reorte Mining Coalition bounty credits without a KWS.

Challenge accepted!

You can sort of do that now by dropping into Weapons Fire, Convoy Dispersal, and similar USSs. You'll be defending NPC traders instead of human players, but it's a start...

 

[Berpol]

Agreed.
I have forgotten about those.
Despite the fact that this is what I did before the combat CG had a timeout for a few months.

A personal First.

I am in the Top 10 commanders.

I bet that doesn't last more than a few seconds.

Another personal First.

It's my very first time being part of a CG, and I need to put my glasses on more often. LOL I just realised that the top will receive 4 million and not 4 billion. What the heck is that? 4 mios are totally ridiculous / useless for most players in the context of this game.

I just play along for the fun of it.

I was thinking it would have made much more sense to offer something more interesting to play for.

Say first place receives a year long free advanced maintenance / repair, second place 6 months free.

I really like that idea of escorting!

I would think that there are a whole lot of spanking new Corvettes there or on their way. The paint on mine is not really dry yet.
