This is why the Imperial Cutter is great. Three very full loads of survival equipment and I am in the top 75%.
You and Flossy do a stellar job, no one here would question that, I guess, and you relay the information you get, word for word, so there is no critique here: you do what you have volunteered to do to a high standard.
The CG text is the CG text. Questions were raised here (and in the other thread) about whether 1 tonne was enough, so I checked with "the source" and they told me Top 75%.
Once new information about a CG is known, @Flossy & I endeavour to make it as clear as possible to people what that is both by posting in the threads and, where appropriate, updating the first post so people just checking there and not reading the whole thread won't miss it. Much easier & quicker for us to do that than for a dev to divert from their day job and tweak the text in game, once the tweak has been agreed and approved ... Will the CG text get updated? Maybe, but not likely as we're at the end of Monday already.
On the other hand, it's your source that can be lacking, possibly due to some internal disconnect.
The text of the CG says something that is different to what official sources are now telling us, and I can understand that it could have been a honest mistake but its consequences, no matter how trivial (tiny virtual lights in a videogame: who cares?), should not be borne by the users.
Some people have committed their limited gaming time to this particular event specifically for this reason, because they have been mislead by an incorrect description.
When I go to a shop, if I see a price tag on an item, I expect to pay that price: if it was priced incorrectly it's on the shopkeeper, not on me.
A price can be binding to a contract, a CG reward is nothing like that (again, it's not a contract, it's just a videogame) but showing commitment to one's word, even if it was based on a typo, would show an amount of integrity that would go a long way, especially in a time when there is a lot of negativity and speculation due to lack of communication, which further undermine an already precarious situation.
For the record, I am well within the top 75%, so I am not advocating for my own tiny little lights: it's just a matter of owning one's own mistakes.

a bit of a bodge but I think this was the right thing to do (even tho I am safe.in the top 50 anyway 
). thanks for the update
). thanks for the update
Thank you guys for your response and taking this decision
I am being a bit of a pedant here as I agree with your sentiment but this is not true. many shops will honour a missprice but they don't have too
take it to the extreme imagine of someone did a typo and dropped a zero off the price of a new car. it could not be honoured.
(in the UK at least no idea elsewhere)
Thank you good sir. An excellent birthday present for me.
Will try to find some time to help push the colonia cg closer to tier 1 tonight now.
Also, apologies if my post on this in the other thread was a bit short.. lack of sleep and dealing with a sick baby is making me irritable
(reason, not excuse)
Na notice there's no "Release date" the saga will continue till actual item releases to EDO and EDH players... With manual release done by humans on Monday 28th if the automated scripts fail...
Don't forget the encore when players see how they look like with condensation on their cockpit glass.
It's a good decision from Frontier imho. A sign of good will with practically zero cost for them.
And those who already bought the lights for real money/arx get at least their arx back or it will be, well bad luck Cmdr?
Does that mean I wasted my time last night? Moan, whine, bleat...
But seriously - I made a few millions for my troubles, so no worries.
Glad to see this get put right.
Absolutely. Same as any other time rewards have been purchasable for ARX before the event.... will be, well bad luck Cmdr?
EDIT for clarity.
Very generous and thank you.
I didn't really think about the profit, just doing a bit of trucking to earn a cosmetic, (they mean more to me than just buying with currency getting them as earned in game). but thinking about it just 2 runs allowed me to pay for and kit out a krait phantom,. (and the other half dozen runs can go towards the fleet carrier in a few years time).
I think this was without a doubt the most profitable trading I have ever done.

Delivered nearly 30k performance enhancers (viagras?) spread across all my accounts. Did top 75% on all of them and top 25% on one even though I didn't need to for the lights.
This trucking also insures my fleet carrier will be funded for at least another two years.
That may be longer than the game lasts!
Now back to SC.
