I will no longer participate for the purposes of the community.

(n) :( I spent a lot of time. Brought 2.136 tons of necessary items to the HIP 43670 system at the Oramus Terminal. Entered the number of 75%. But I decided to stop there. That's enough!
The reason is that I suspect that the developers deliberately create difficulties and problems for the participants.
That 's what it is expressed in:
In the HIP 43670 system, it is impossible to park an aircraft carrier to any object! Everything, even small planets, is packed with aircraft carriers and there are no parking spaces. I've tried hundreds of times to look for a parking spot – I don't believe that even in 33 thousand light seconds, the places are already occupied by players. These are just NPCs or phantom aircraft carriers created by developers in order to create difficulties and fly ships to the Oramus Terminal 33 thousand light years away. At the same time, pirates attack cargo ships very often. And this is in a system in which there is a Boom and it is of a high level of development!
Moreover, in the nearest star systems to HIP 43670, everything is also clogged with aircraft carriers, but there is no parking space. And how to carry items for the community? It takes a few hours to collect and deliver.
Why do I need this? For the sake of a small jump increase for the engine? No – I'll get around it. Without me.
Sorry for my English…

But they are all the same for many hours and do not think to fly away. It looks strange.

Some of them offer CG commodities for everyone. Some have limited access. Some will have used their carrier to ferry their ship in. And some will use their carrier on purpose to block parking spots for cargo transfer carriers, since they want the data side to win.

As for CG rewards - nothing on the single CMDR level. On the storyline level, it's a decision whether to support the blackmailers (data CG) or the people being blackmailed (cargo CG). Which of those two approaches, if any, will yield the grand prize (access to the Scrivener's data core) for the plot line, and whether this prize actually has any worth, is unknown as of now.

Cool story bro.

This is the closest competitive CG I've seen ever. Tracking the progress on inara, they've been consistently within one or two percent completion of each other. We're halfway through Sunday and there's still not a clear leader.

I guess, that some people doesn't like competitive CGs.
They prefer insta win in 2-3 hours, and observing bigger and bigger gap.

For me both are xtremally boring (relog fiesta vs trade), but at least observing progress on inara is interesting.
Menwhile other CGs...meh, after first day all know, who will win.

I'd like to know where these NPC pirates are. I've yet to be interdicted once in this CG, which makes me sad, because retrospectively that fighter hangar could've been put to better use :)

You got it wrong, pal.

Far as I know, those can be only owned by players. NPC got thier own variety of megaships, and thats what devs use if they need "put" capital-class npcs around if needed.

Well, you are aware that there is thousands active carriers? Wich many of them, will likely take part in CG. Carriers number (who also wanna jump here in same time when u want) is much more higher than there is bodies and FC slots around at that 33kls area. And each of those fleet carriers, each might have a diffrent reason to be at place.

But how it is, there is too much carriers around, so classic FC problem this is. And devs knew about that when chosen HIP 43670 to run a CG, so deal with it.

Right now I for few hours with other cmdrs helped unload serie of FCs in system while one cmdr planned further FCs loading and unloading and there was very live system chat.. it was completelly unplanned from my side, I did not knew anyone there, but it was definitelly one from really nice community actions where were cmdrs helping each other to achieve CGs goal. Sometimes is needed little luck and good timing @Meresiga ... for parking FC in system was today evenig needed just little patience and listening to local (system) chat.

The CG is dreadfully unbalanced in favor of the data because of the 33Kls of supercruise, but it is beautifull to see all this rotation of FC's in that little system. If you want to participate with your own FC, you need to park next door... but the best is to participate to the unloading of FC's of other players. The system chat is fantastic ! Reminds me of Borann during the good old days.

That is a beautifull CG ! Community driven... Thanks Canonn for offering to help the scriveners !

Yeah, maybe FC's should spend a limited time only in CGs systems but it's just good policy and manners.

As a player, you can make better credits a great many other ways, as a community saving the scriveners from the greed of corporte goons is a great motivator.

The actual data doesn't match this assertion. It's been even, with the lead changing multiple times, and the trade CG being the latest to pull away today.

You very well know that any orion supporter can provide 10k data/ hour. (Only about 250 players have reached that threshold according to current CG report in inara)
There are just more supporters of the scriveners. I didn't time how long it takes for a return Type9 run but, I assume it is over 20 minutes. So that is over 700 players who have invested that amount of time in the CG, maybe more.

The whole CG is almost tied overall, but that balance is there only because for once the overwhelming majority is facing extra difficulties to make it so.
I don't complain about it, on the opposite ! I find it thrilling that players as a group have to struggle against a few individuals.

Meanwhile data probably will lose with small margin.

Look at "unbalanced"

Look at progress.

Do you really want "balanced" CG, which would be won in few hours?

Very good, that it is unbalanced, if community support 1 side, devs, as game masters HAVE TO support second side, to create interesting CG, where both sides still can win...
I think, that frontier just know, which side will get more supporters, and finally reacted to it :)

Points for demanding the end of emergent gameplay and competition, as well as complaining about fleet carrier overpopulation and supercruise times (Almost a forum bingo by the way). The complaining about how trade and the BGS fundamentally works was a bit off-putting so you lose marks there. If you want a higher bazmeson score, consider setting an ultimatum, referencing friends and associates that are doing similar without having any substantiation about that, and speaking on behalf of the whole community.
