COMPLETED CG Support Sirius Corporation's Proposal to Host the Galactic Summit (Science & Research)

[ADAMtheWELSHMANz]

Just curious - is it normal for the different materials to count separately?
I gave 49 of one material, 25 of another, and 25 of another. I see myself with 49, not 99.

Are you looking at the CG progress under the transactions tab?

It sometimes requires an instance change to update. Look under the mission tab for a more accurate and immediate display of your contributions.

In other news, I'm been underhanded in my own race for a Top 10 spot. With Inaras figures been WAY off the pace I've decided two (or eleven) can play that game.

By not updating my own Inara stats the Top 10, who are probably following on here, will know someone is hot on their heels but not how close I am.

How the tables have turned!

BRING ON THE RELOG GRIND!!!

I checked both the Missions section in a starport (even undocked and flew to a different starport!) and the transactions tab. It still does not show the sum of all the materials I donated. I think if this is deliberate, it should be made very clear that this CG does not work like most delivery CGs

 

[aRJay]

When I delivered batch’s of all four materials at Goldstein Port or at Tanner Settlement they were all countered, the only issue I had was I had to deliver one material at a time as you can’t set all 4 deliveries and donate them with one click.

Guess what I did? Seriously, I had no idea that would even be an issue

I noticed that only the material I clicked confirm on went to 0/0, I was suspicious as there wasn’t a separate button.

 

[Factabulous]

Most people notice after the first attempt. But I guess there's always one

 

[Manticore]

I've been doing ths CG, I can't believe it's still hovering at Tier 2 just under Tier 3 and it's been that way for the last two days. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do some more data farming before it ends.....

 

[Jmanis]

Oh, wow, I was going to dump some mats for some easy credits, but these aren't really doing too well hey?

 

[evoker]

Stupid question but what happens if this ends before the other or both expire? Do we get money from both or just the one that had more material handed in?

The stupid answer is that you get the rewards from the one you contributed to last.

The actual answer is you get the rewards from all the ones you contributed to.

 

[CMDR Serra]

Stupid question but what happens if this ends before the other...

You don't have to worry about that. In the next 14.5 hours players would have to contribute more than 30 times what they have in the last 5 days or so. So I reckon we're safe there.

I'm top 10% in both, so am currently looking at 60m.

 

[maehara]

Any hints as to the Tier 3 threshold? Had expected it to be as 12mil, looking at the scale, but it's 12,114,000 and still stubbornly in T2.
Getting over that line would be a nice little bonus...

(Also looks like I'm about to drop out of Top 10 CMDRs. Boo. But no inclination to grind some more, so c'est la vie...)

I was just looking at the scale, six hours to go, but I'm not sure T3 will be made.

 

[forbiddenlake]

12.5mil, just made it

 

[maehara]

100mil off Li, 30mil off Antal. That was a profitable CG.
Now never speak to me of data-collection CGs again.

 

[Jmanis]

I guess i understand why the CG numbers and mats were the way they were, but would be cool if next time, like the reports for the exploration CG where ammonia scans were worth differing amounts (ish), if different grade materials were proportionally counted for their trade down value to G1 materials, rather than just needing materials to be traded down for each run.

Next time they will need iron and nickel

They can have my iron when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

I don't, to me it was very strange and probably one of the worst ones since the comeback
They offer higher pay outs per tier but make the tiers ludicrously out of reach, bear in mind the pay outs are the only way of earning credits here unlike the others
they didn't tinker with the tier targets as they have been, if ever a CG needed tinkering it was this one
they restricted to G1 mats which made the broker service unbelievably tedious, why not be able to offer higher mats for a higher count?
hell even handing 300 mats over was a slow process

you can usually work out what they are testing with these CGs but this one just seems to be a random pick out of hat jobbie, just hope there's an actual consequence to this story

So, in the past they've had CGs for G5 materials. Obviously the counts were a lot lower, and because a lot of people's bins were already full, they just dumped them and cleared out the CG really quickly.

G1s are easy come, easy go, and 1 G5 = 81 G1's. But you can only carry 300 at a time of G1s. So you could only push around 1200 per run; that's pretty comparable with a standard trade CG, only it's for Materials[1]. So if you were doing G5's, it'd be like doing 30-odd G1 loads all at once which is a bigger skew.

Basically, I think FD were trying to make it function like a standard trade CG, but forgot you don't just buy 1200 materials from a depot like you do with trade CGs. FD's had a history of forgetting that with CGs where commodities are non-purchasable (though thankfully didn't do that with the recent tissue sample CG)
