COMPLETED CG Protect the Sirius Corporation campaign to establish Marlinist Colonies (Bounty Hunting)

[Quantis Trap]

Yesterday, I brought my Corvette out of mothballs and fixed it up. These days I usually go with medium ships for combat but, I wanted to be tanky for first time in years. Man that vette eats pirates fast! My Krait Mk II / Cheiftains etc do well too but they don't usually kill a conda in a single pass!

Using this vette again has made me think that, when I get time, I might build a Mamba in much the same configuration as my vette except on a smaller scale. The Mamba and the vette both have heat issues to overcome even though they're both giant heat sinks. It doesn't make sense that they are, but it is what it is. Maybe they both need spoilers. That would make them cooler right?

so currently i am in the top 50%, but as for my reward it says i would get the minimum of 800k, not the 16mil. i logged out and in but still remains the same. anybody knows whats wrong here?

Yep... and for the CG there is only one location system to collect them from.

would you share that info?

Might make it to the CG in a day or two when I cant stand the mat collecting at the crystals anymore. Also, cant help but feel Ive been at NLTT 16391 recently for something.

My mamba has two small overcharged beams wirh thermal vent. A different build could take shields down faster but I never have heat problems.

80 mil, Top 10% in one evenings playtime.

Roughly 3 x 1-1.5 hr sessions.

Another 450-550 mil in MM's.

Got 15,000t more on FC to transport tomorrow, probably done with BH'ing for this week as I suspect Thargoid hunting one Thurs.

I guess massacre missions only stack two deep now? Was hearing that they stacked six deep, but I guess that changed.

Not talking about how many you can have at a time. Talking about how many stack.

Yeah, I fell in love with the Corvette, and that's exactly why. The shield tank is my way to go! >3 <3

Also I got an Armored Power Plant with Clean Thrusters, specifically to solve the heat issues. Combine that with engineering everything else to near-maximum, and heat's never a problem in combat...not even with sustained beams firing.

Of course, with all the buzz about Community Goals sometimes offering prototype modules...I can't wait until a fitting Size-7 Shield Generator comes into the cards. Ooh boy, that'll be fun.

Yes, the minimum means for E-rating bracket (as that "global reward" only defines the floor), whereas you're in the C-rating bracket. So you'd get what you're owed for Top 50%, assuming you can sustain that ranking until the end of the event.

On that note, I'm still competing for Top 10 Commanders, the AA-rating bracket. Third time I've pushed for this, and President Hudson STILL owes me a medal!

They stack by as many DIFFERENT factions as offer missions.

Make sure they're all PIRATE MM's and all for the SAME SYSTEM.

This is why MARING is so good (for CG) as ALL the MM's and Assasinations there spawn to a SINGLE system.

As your rank with each faction rises LESS solo MM and more solo Spec ops will be offered...
But you can still take multi solo MMs.. from multi factions... to kill ships in LTT 2545
12 kills with faction 1.
12 kills with another faction 2.
20 kills with another faction 3.
30 kills with another faction 4.
Those factions offering only 12 kills could have another mission added as you took a 30 kill mission... so those only offering 12 can have another misssion added...
So faction 1 & 2 can have another mission 12 Kill mission.. so total missions of 6 stacked... all but one mission would complete on 24 kills and final mision completes on kill 30...

4 missions stacked 1 mission each per faction... Max kills 30 required... for all complete first mission completes at 6 kills..

Yep. Depending whats on offer on the board you might grab 3 solo massacres each from two factions, and maybe a single wing massacre from two other factions. Whatever keeps the total kill count per faction roughly equal is best, imo.

As long as you know your play time limit no point taking a wing mission with 60kills... If your not ensured to finish them during the play time limit. If RL is going to get in the way its better to take only small kill counts your insured to complete...

I've actually enjoyed this combat CG. Never really been a combat kinda guy, but this has been fun, and made my way into the top 25%. Seen I've now dropped out of the top 10% for the cargo CG, so back onto that one for now!

The buff to bounties is really quite remarkable. I made over 40mil bounties last night alone. Pre-buff that would have taken days. I'm making 11mil for a 15 minute round trip hauling and made around 40mil in a hour's time bounty hunting. I'd say FDev are pretty close on getting that balanced.

I learnt that lesson a few times over back when the wing massacres each had a huge number of required kills. Even with a week to finish I sometimes got halfway through the stack and then found I just couldn't be bothered playing Elite for a few weeks, losing rep for all the missions that timed out.

 

[KW001]

153 million for the cg and I'm done. Expect it will be all over by tomorrow night.

I even got a Federal Navy kill order mission in Maring fighting a 1545 pirate, which earned me Recruit status! Piling up the missions has been nice; thanks for that info. After pulling down 10mm in vouchers in my Cobra Mk III, I went and bought an Alliance Chieftain and almost have it paid off now. Getting solo pirate kill missions has been interesting, paired with low-count massacre missions. The pirates come find me, and taking them out completes the massacre missions. It's definitely affected my voucher total for the CG... I made 5mm for the CG (including some High Rez helping system security) and 26mm from missions.

I tried out Skuta, but it didn't take for me. Too many ships at the nav beacon for me to quickly scan, and the only pirates I saw were in a wing that looked deadlier than I wanted to take on.

 

[GraphiteGB]

Im done for this CG as well...

Had a Triple Corvette battle to end the CG...

PSA = less than 400 Million LEFT to final tier...
159614328011
This will end SOON...
Any Bounties after that will not count to the CG...
So Land soon...

 

[Cmdr Black Jaguar]

so we hit tier 5 just before i was docking to collect my last run. i made 23,7 million and top 50%. i think i could have hit top 25% if i started earlier with the CG and didnt lose time with trying to make pirate missions.

will jump in my python now and deliver atmosphere processors, 292T and 555k credits per run (i buy for ~30 credits, 72ly route)

I was just about to say that I've stopped competing this time because I'm going on in-character vacation. Regardless, the contribution should hopefully be significant.
