COMPLETED CG The Colonia Bridge Project 2nd Phase - Alcor (Trade)

[ethelred]

I started less than a week ago on a non grind play through to experience the game through the eyes of a new player. I stand by my comment, this CG was totally unfair for new accounts.
I have been playing since 2015.

How was it unfair?

Lets look at it ; Fleet carrier 25k hold and 790 in a type 9 as opposed to a 108 hold type 6 of a player who really needs the cash and the FSD's. Against a billionaire that already has a fleet. I dunno seems hard to equate the two.

In-game billionaire? Meh. Real life time a more important indicator, surely?

Why would a new player need the FSDs any more than an established player, given that the FSDs are double engineered and not generally available?

Has there been any indication that there will be a Phase 3 of the Colonia Bridge?

Skipping the FSD grind.

My alt got 100 tons in last night.

It said so in the first phase.
Planned as 3 phases when phase 1 started..

Other than saying there are 3 phases? No

It will last less than a nanosecond...

Presumably many players would like to do that, whether new or established.

It's be nice if the rewards were double engineered Class 1, 2 & 7 FSDs.

 

[CMDR Rabbit]

is the general consensus in here that we will get all 3 classes of FSD?

The module reward class is also decided by the final tier

because that doesn't read like it?

On Inarra, assuming it's accurate, it says "Rewards tiers are cumulative, and higher tiers will include rewards from lower tiers."

Let's be clear here. Nobody 'really needs' the FSDs, they're nice fripperies but that's what they are.

Kietrax clarified it here:

OK - just confirmed with FDev - the FSD rewards are cumulative as well so:

• Tier 3 = 1 x 3A
• Tier 4 = 1 x 4A plus 1 x 3A
• Tier 5 = 1 x 6A plus 1 x 4A plus 1 x 3A

It's be nice if the rewards were double engineered Class 1, 2 & 7 FSDs.

I would love a CG that had a class 2 FSD or 2A enhaced performance thrusters

Is the stored modules limit still 125?

 

[Elfie]

How was it unfair?

Because of the huge FC bias.

 

[Factabulous]

it never was 125 ...

I made top 10% without using my Carrier....

.... and at least one player advertised that their Carrier was nearby loaded with the required commodities - any player could have docked on it and benefited from their largesse.

Type 9 or Cutter?

Try it in a Hauler, Cobra or a type 6
