I tried the shotgun approach a few times. My built up chosen ship just doesn't have the weapon convergence for four shotguns. Don't want to spend beucoup money making another one either. I have an FC to maintain after all.Jmanis is that using premium ammo?
I’ve only ever used gauss, but I think you’ve convinced me to switch!

People doing the two CGs should take a moment to swap and do a bit of the other - if all the traders killed and handed in 1 scout it would drop the requirements at the 25% so more fighters would be in there.
I'll be calling in my alt to be very bad at the CGs (she won't mind - she only flies CM3s so doesn't want the module)

Well, I'm pulling up now, well in 25% territory, probably close to 10%, though that'll die while I sleep.
I lack any finesse
EDIT: Actually, just pipped up to 10%, somewhere between 27m and 30.6m (curse my crew)
Nice.
On XB i'm using a Conda with 4 large shard cannons - 6c biweaves and 7b SCB plus 2 heatsinks and an xeno scanner rest skill boosters.
Works like a charm.
orange, orange sideys everywhere
weird - i got a single one on XB and none on PC (lucky me)
Occurrence seems to be directly proportional to the number of FCs in a system. The CG hub system is clogged up bad, but I found a nice place for my very own. Not that it helped a lot...my first attempt on a Cyclops did not end as I had imagined. But it was a learning experience!orange, orange sideys everywhere
My insurance nightmare!
Needs a little Bondo, that's all
Then just participate and don't worry about the reward? Don't let FOMO dictate your play habits.

looks like my first encounter with a Cyclops.
The differences were i was in an Anaconda and i went boom a fraction of second before touchdown
This. I'm in this CG to scrag Thargoids and expand my experience level in the game, not chase a reward. After many weeks out in the black (which netted me about 3Bcr in exploration and mining) I'm havin' a blast (literally, see above), blowin' some serious cash on new AXI rigging for my Python. It's unlikely I'll break even but so what? Fun city!
I had about 2% hull left (and it was dropping fast!) when I dropped out of my escape jump and triggered a decon limpet, got me up to 6%, enough to limp to a nearby FC and patch things up. That was part of my learning -- don't solo a Cyclops too far from an R&R facility!looks like my first encounter with a Cyclops.

Except without the specialist reward CG don't pay enough to bother .
Beg pardon? I've just only moved into the 75% group and that's 4Mcr on top of my bounties, which will increase with the Tier rising. Not a fortune but it'll likely pay all my expenses connected to the CG and then some. Yeah, Top Guns will get 32M or more plus their gizmos, but helpin' out the Alliance and having fun are more important.
A rather quick kill with a shotgun conda using normal ammo
I'm not good enough to make it happen as often as i wish, so currently it's a rather rare occurrence (normal kills means that i have to go through all hearts)
But with these AXI CG i will get there eventually

Stone chip.
That's because other activities pay too much.
Yup, a stone 'bout the size of one of those ring 'roids, but mobile and plenty ticked off.
