Well, I have delivered one load from every system (minus 1t to keep in the FC) so these ~150t are my contribution to Space Elon’s party.

Best part of it was not sneaking through a few ships in open that might have tried to interdict me but finding a fellow, friendly CMDR in Yurchikhin Port, 1 million LS from the system entry, who understands that a party with candles only prayer sticks and no beer is not a party!
 
So now, with both accounts, I've delivered 540 units of incense each...
I really have to say, this CG is one of the most unmotivated CGs I've been through so far.
Poor payment for goods, would be better if more could be delivered.
CG reward no idea, with the interest one can be happy if Tier 1 until CG end was reached.
additional profit? Two-week access, until 02.06. In a system where you can do WHAT? Sorry I can't think of anything.
At least nothing that I couldn't do in other systems as well. In addition, the limited access is only of interest to those who have not yet made it to the Fed ranks, up to chief petty officer.
What does FDev want. actually achieve it? That Hudson remains the sole candidate as Rackham withdraws his candidacy due to lack of support? You don't need CG (bursting with demotivation) for that... Ne GalNet-News would have been enough... Although I think one should have stayed with a CG direction anyway and continued with Professor Palin. e.g. collect Guardian artifacts, or Thargszeugs. At least something related to his project.
But maybe more should participate in the CG to FDev. to throw a spanner in the works.
But I also think FDev. should take more time to prepare their CGs.
For example, we could use new ships, weapons, fighters, SRVs, modules, etc. Why not a few CGs to push the "research and development" further in this direction.

Sorry for bad english. It's translated by google.

"The new cargo racks are bugged and we better not launch the next Palin CG yet. Quick! What can we do to keep CMDRs busy for a week? Rare goods? A Rackham party? Ok send it."

-FDev probably

The new racks are indeed bugged so this does feel like it is just filling up space
 
Imho it is ok to have low stakes CGs like this one. In this case, for me, there were four positives:

1) It gives a break to do other things (in or out game) without FOMO

2) It gets you to cool places I had not heard about (Golconda/Forester Rest). It also seems like it is part of a narrative with Rackham being on GalNet quite a lot and the Dredger appearing there.

3) I learnt that it is not always the case that all stars in a given system have the same denomination. Is it only Gliese/Geras or are there more examples?

4) It gives me an opportunity to use my “Rare trading” AspX which is mostly D rated for distance and, basically, held together by duct tape around cargo racks and the FSD booster. So, it really feels dangerous, fighting off NPC interdictions (as they would kill me quickly) and constantly scanning for other CMDRs.

Dunno, it was a fun 2 hours, plus I could watch some TV given the SC distances.

Nah, they cannot release the next Palin CG right after the previous simply because the module rewards are never instantaneous
The CRCR Racks appeared on Friday, which is rather fast - i expected them to arrive this Monday.

So the bugged CRCR are not the reason for this CG, even tho this CG might be a filler.

Nope - if you look at the last year they interleave the different story lines - I don't think there have been any/many occasions where they run two phases of the same storyline 2 weeks running.

This CG was mainly used to point ppl to the return of the Dredger clan near the Golconda (one of the Rares is there) - which I spotted and ignored - thinking it must have been there before :( Doh! And of course that will not be progressed next week, as it will probably be the Kumo war that someone spotted being set up.

As for the themes of the CGs, I agree with you. They rarely build linearly, on top of each other.
But so far the interval was 3 weeks CG, one week off. Think, the next CG starts on May 26th.

<Selfish> Great if true. Got other things done during this sorry CG (finally built and maxxed my AX ship!) and then this weekend is SC Free Fly. I early-birded this event out of boredom and got 2K cargo delivered, but it was pointless as we all know. </selfish>
 
What is the carrot? Is there a carrot?
Third candidate...
"The guest list for this party includes politicians, media magnates, publicity gurus, and many others who would prove useful if you were running a presidential campaign. Should Rackham get enough of them on his side presumably by sparing no expense on their comfort and entertainment – I think he'll officially set his sights on the Federation's top job."
 
Finally, Tier 1.
Yea that was High for tier 1.... winters better look out coming last out of 2 never looks bad being last out of 3 will...
Poor ship makers hudsons thargoid based explosives may Test there hull designs to the max soon if the Salvation recalibrated.super weapon is not ready yet...
 
Were the rewards bumped up? I thought that the top25% was given 10.400.000 cr, now it is 20.400.000 cr.
I'm pretty sure that the award was 10.400.000 cr yesterday? Or am I just tripping? o_O

** EDIT **
Oh, I just noticed that we have hit the tier 2, that might be the reason. :)
