If a relog doesnt fix it, ie its just as bad in Solo, then a hard reset back ti home and back into the Server will usually fix it. Im hoping the Series will not have the issue at all....
Thanks. Loading for my final push to centerline 10% just for fun/Crs. Will try as reboot if instance gets wonky again. My first CG and having way past legal limit of fun learning FC management and how to make Crs. Great community; applaud the patience with those having difficulty learning how to enjoy this game; so for those thinking "its not fair" maybe next time they'll figure it out. This thread was very helpful, so thanks to all who posted o7 Cmdrs.

Just catching up on this thread after doing the Tescos run for the weekly shopping...

I guess making Elite Trader was always a little bit out of reach. Heck, Tycoon (a.k.a. rung right under Elite) was a secondary objective as-is. And at or around 50 trips to Bubble and Back for Elite is...let's just say I am REALLY going to need a break after 2 back-to-back events.

Elite trade rank will come soon enough, especially with CGs like this one. I finally reached Elite trade rank on my first run for this CG and for the first time ever, my credit balance topped 1Bn credits late yesterday. Not bad for someone that's been playing on and off since the beta!

'Tasty cargo...'
Yeh, give it a rest dude, I'm in a Cutter.
Try a different career. 🤪

That's fine for you "Cutter jocks" but those pirates are a right pain in the backside for us T-9 jocks - too slow to outrun a tortoise and less maneuverable than a small moon! I might have to commission one of my Cutters as a hauler for the next trade CG.

it's unfair. i'm carrying my contribution from the bubble in my ship, no fancy friends with fancy carriers. so no fancy FSD?. Thanks, FDev. your fancy carrier customers have ended the CG for me.

I got into the top 25% the long way with my T-9 but thought I was losing out to the FC crowd. I didn't know anyone that had one and was doing the CG, so I looked on here to find one looking for help loading & unloading and have made several trips back and forth with it, not to mention had some fun chats while doing so, which helps to break up the monotony. It's not hard if you read this thread. Now if you're complaining about the difficulty of finding one with the in game tools, I'm right with you.

The teamwork loading and unloading is the most interaction I had with other players since . . .
ever.
Kind of reminds me of the fun I had a couple of CGs back, when I joined in with a bunch of the Tea Baggers, FC here are performing a similar role.

I've been hauling in a Type 9. Interdicted once, got out with 33% hull a lot of cooked modules inc cargo hatch which dropped several tons across the next system. Did figure I need 4 pips to engines to evade in this thing. Still got solidly into the 50%

You do fill the station slot very nicely though. You'll notice this morning I put the Cutter into reverse and waved you through rather than trying to squeeze past you to get into the station, not to mention it was pretty cool watching you, BossDrum and Captain Caos all file out of the station in trail formation :giggle:

Yes, thanks for that and it was nice watching the three Cutters coming and going in formation, even if I was envious of their speed! Got to admit that I've been leaving the docking to the AutoiPillock during this CG, not my fault if my space brick barges a lesser ship out of the way on its way through then :)
 
The salt when these CGs finish will be glorious! A beautiful combo of "I don't have an FC!", "I don't have an AX ship!" and "It finished early, I was planning to start on Wednesday!"

This will be a great week for CGs \o/
Yes I feel a feedback thread comingon for this one, they pushed the boundaries and not sure its not done more harm than good, just looking at the turnout numbers. Someone suggested 1 FSD for top 100%, 2 FSDs for top 10/25%....much less salt and more reason to contribute, will wait and see...

"Silent Sphere Song" is dry as a desert. Thanks all fellow CMDR's helping out.
Well that turned into a 'Find the Lady' treasure hunt, I got left behind in C2-3 where theres ELW and tf HMC and barnacles, easily distracted...

And the data is for another project TTW so all good :)

I decided for this one I couldnt afford shields, I needed the space too much, I got worse and worse each run by removing HRP & MRP for a bit more space...and the SLF went as well, after about 7 runs I was hitting the station at 57% Hull and being forced to high wake by NPCs even . Good times...but deffo prefer the shielded version.
 
Bazmeson will be headed back to the bubble (HIP 21455) at 16:30 UTC. May get another load in before we're done.

I'll be buying PGs at a decent profit for anyone who wants the help load up.

We're in MDR GW-W D1-143 currently.

I don't know that it's had that much effect on turnout either way, interestingly. We've only had three trade CG weeks (one with two CGs) so far.

The first trade CG pair (make refineries bigger), the longer running one of the two had 4631 participants by Sunday ... when it ended due to completion. This one has 4645 participants so far, but is much less conveniently located.

This one has had ~~7.5 million tonnes delivered a day, as did the refinery pair. The refugee one was slower at ~5.5 million tonnes per day, but that also had lower per-tonne cargo profitability and only resulted in some BGS states being averted rather than new station construction.

There does seem to be a little more competition for the top 25% place than in the refugee CG, but there's not a big difference in the placements of top 10%, top 50% and top 75% - so people are as you might expect doing more to try to stay in the top 25%, but that's not significantly affecting the rest of the CG.
