It's possible FDev will adjust tiers for CG, but also extend it for one week longer.
I'm not going to count on it. Just gonna keep doing this grind in open on PS4 like my life depends on it.
So far its been pretty rare for me to have to switch to open to turn in bonds at the megaship, as they're just aren't that many people on our side. (Which is the only upside to our predicament.)
Despite doing this grind in open, I have yet to be killed by other players. And I have certainly had my fill of PVP in the last 48 hours, I think I've shot down more pilots during this event than I have in the last 6 - 12 months? It's been crazy in terms of PVP, which has actually been pretty sweet. The 9 Martyrs are the best thing to happen to Elite Dangerous since the Thargoids started grabbing people.
As of this post, I am in the top 10% for now with 40,999,686 million in bonds turned in. But I tell you, I have no idea how we're going to get our side up to the tier 1 benchmark. This math man, this math just looks bad.
LIKE, REALLY, REALLY BAD. But I think I speak for all of us when I say: We want these enzyme racks! -
And with any luck, grand-pa & grand-ma FDEV will make em' ' sweet. Ah yes, I can see it now: Bypassing shields, spreading to other ships upon contact, requiring 400 heat to remove the caustic substance, even allowing for pilots to synth premium ammo for them to increase their damage rate... Truely, this is the war for the "mystery prize."
Really, I just want to do everything I can to signal to FDEV that we want more Thargoid tech. We have so many engineering mats that drop only from the Thargoids and they do literal nothing. And the gods know how badly I want to fly an Orthus.
