Well, guess I'll need something else to do this afternoon, then.

About 108 high CZs.Wow, and 6 tiers no less.
I wonder what it takes to earn 1.3 Billion cr in combat bonds.* That is quite a bit!

96 Million easy credits coming my way on Thursday, w00t!
Thanks to coming back to EliteD after Update 8, I finally got to try the on-foot CZs -- had a lot of fun with a few Low & Medium ones with my non-Engineered suits & weapons.
Took my Imperial Courier to one and had a dogfight with a Vulture 1-2km above the ground using just a pair of Salvation's Guardian Plasma Chargers, that was a blast (no pun intended)! Landed it and ran into the fray at the base. Good stuff.
Dipped into the Low & Medium classic space CZ a few times too.
Easy money for just a few hours of fun over 2 nights. Was worth the trip. Scenic too!

Credit rewards are available now, no need to wait
Oh yeah? It's been so long since I did a proper CG (minus last week's windfall for the 3 sweet FSDs of course) that I had forgotten. Thanks!Credit rewards are available now, no need to wait
I made top 10 at 780m-something. I just put on podcasts and did the high ground cz over and over with G5 engineered dominator, G5 engineered intimidator/ar-50/zenith. Still took some hours though, at 11-15m a round.Wow, and 6 tiers no less.

Found some one brave enough to actualy put a single run on youtube...
13 mills for 11 mins work... Now the events over it fair to show..

Two things:
1) That footage is sped up...almost 2X. No way to complete a high CZ in 11 minutes.
2) I'm not sure why it wouldn't be "fair" to show that and I'm not sure what's particularly "brave" about posting it. Curious what you mean by those two things?
I never timed my high ground cz time but it does go pretty fast if you're all engineered. Excluding enforcers, it takes a few seconds to kill anyone with a laser/kinetic or plasma/kinetic combination. I'm also not sure how the reinforcement numbers work. I think it goes down faster if your team is capturing checkpoints.
Nah. I'm trash at both high CZs and editing videos, but this is raw, and I die a lot, don't have G5 weapons. Still comes in at 12 minutes, with lots of room for improvement. High CZs are fast.
Yes, each capture drops the enemy supply count by... 50?
Yes 50.
A kill 5.
This is why you ignore the captures and concentrate on killing except for a speedrun.
And the payout on capturing a point is woeful.
A few months ago, well before these latest patches, I'd occasionally have a glitched CZ. Nobody would move, so they couldn't kill anyone else. So I took my time slowly killing everyone myself and not capturing anything. It'd take half an hour and net 30 million easily.
Yeah, they are fast and as Bigmaec said, it's actually better to ignore capture zones. I liked the settlement layout btw with that nice bridge in the middle. CZs are fast. I think I put in about 2h hours over the weekend which put me in top 10% and made me 350m incl reward.
And absolutely no risk at all.

Hmm, sucks for console players. There was no high intensity space combat zones in the cg system and I didn't pull more than 5 million for a single run. Most of them had spec ops and by the time I'd dealt with them the battle was usually over. Not too bothered as I managed to get top 50% but hardly a level playing field. Come on FDev!
