Colonia Bridge Decal Issues [UPDATED 15/03/2022]

Emissive Red and Emissive Blue versions of Explorer turned up in my inventory today. Fortunately, the blue explorer one just sits next to the blue combat one in the list.

The names really should be changed to make more sense, but given how much work it seems to have been to just deliver the things, I won't hold my breath on that one.

Still no sign of the Brewer Corp decal or a new message about same.
 
@Zac Cocken First of all, thank you guys for sorting this out and giving everyone their reserved decals.
But, was this blue emissive decal supposed to be included? Doesn't seem to me to be in line with all the others..

No, that's the one from the Imperial combat CG a few weeks ago.

If FDev had named them properly, there would be less confusion. 🤷🏼‍♂️
...is it? I got this one from that CG, they also gave that blue emissive one at that time? :confused:

There are several different decals called Emissive Blue, I have that pattern but called Combat Zone in several non emissive colours and a square decal called Emissive Blue with a ringed planet top left and a z shaped arrow to a credit symbol bottom right which I got years ago.
 
@Zac Cocken Like other CMDR's have said thank you for getting this sorted, i have all the emissive and all the Brewer Corp decals.
I laughed and was a tiny bit insulted that the message said "For reaching the top 10% of contributor in at least one Colonia Bridge initiative..." when i know i did top 10% in all of it apart from my top 10 (still rocking a prideful smile on that one), its only a small thing i will take that on the chin and move on.
Once again thank you
 
@Zac Cocken received the mail and the decals, thanks!
Just a heads up, the left golden Brewer Corp decal is inverted (as seen in the image), the rest, including the right golden one, are correct.
Edit: left golden one is correct on SRV.

All good here, Brewer Intergalactic Services has a new logo. It's not really stealing, I was here first and I simply re-appropriated their design onto my ships.
 
Dear Commanders. This is for me one of the most gamebreaking moments. THIS DECAL IS REUSED!
I will tell you my best moment in Elite:
Me and my squad were joining the CG where we had to farm Molluscs and Haul them to Colonia.
We organised 2 carrier, one for the haul and one for spare tritium. Me and my friends were farming more then 1500t of mollusc spores, with specialy build anacondas.
When we arrived in colonia, 2 of us were pulling out potential gankers (we r 100% open players) while the other 2 were hauling the spores to jaques, this happend after a long carrier ride so we all were very tired already. We made it and only lost 1 transport to the Gankers.
This was for me by far the best experience in elite because it took organisation and disciplin and skill to pull this off!

We all got bronze silver and gold decals and a white illuminated one.
We were proud to wear them because no one i know had them too.
Until now!
Thank you no thank you!

PS: For context we all play on the ps4 and i dont give a about odyssey! We all love elite but this was a kick in the balls and was more demotivating then the current status of the game!!

I feel so petraied from FDev and i guess they wont do anything about it.

I don't get your point, are you saying no one else should have them for doing a similar job?
A sticker is a sticker and playing in Solo i wouldn't see them on other ships anyway 🤷‍♂️

I think they should have make a different decal for a different CG. I did not know they were reusing decals.
 
Greetings Commanders,

You may have received an inbox message today informing you that you have received a Brewer Corp decal from the recent Colonia Bridge CG's. Due to the recent delay of Update 11, these decals are actually not visible in-game yet. This issue will be resolved next week once the update is released.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

UPDATE:

It turns out all the rewards were flipped on their head 🙃

In short, if the CG reward text said "TOP X % of Commanders get Y" then the BOTTOM X % of Commanders would have gotten Y instead.

The plan of action is as follows:

Colonia Bridge Phase 4 Correction

  • Players who were given the red and blue emissive decals by mistake will keep those decals.
  • Players who should have received the red and blue emissive decals but have not yet received them (this is currently the top 25% of participants) will have this added as soon as possible.

Colonia Bridge Lifetime Participation Correction (Brewer Corp Decal)

  • Participating players will receive a new inbox message, addressing Friday's incorrect inbox message and clarifying what you will actually receive.
  • This message will definitively detail the decal(s) you will receive and the correct Brewer Corp Decals will appear in your account!

The above will all take place once Update 11 is safely deployed!
Honest, if maybe uninformed question: were the white emissives going out to all participants? It was my understanding they were, but i never got one. I didnt make the cut for gold brewer (but i received my silver and bronze) meanwhile i received the red and blue emissives (possibly by mistake? but i see i get to keep them if it was an oops) but i never received a white emissive

If im wrong and they were limited to a tier i didnt make, thats fine, just curious if theyre missing by mistake
 
I think they should have make a different decal for a different CG. I did not know they were reusing decals.
Of the 24 or so CG Decals I have, note I haven't done a CG for a couple of years, 3 are unique and named for the event on the decal another 3 are designs that haven't been used since the rest are generic decal images.

Obviously a unique appearance for each decal would be ideal for us if tiresome for FDev but I think many would be happy if they just labelled them uniquely so at least we could remember where we got that one when looking at the livery.
