COMPLETED CG Azimuth Biotech Mining Campaign

Not really, the traded commodities didn't count.
They didn't count for the CG progress, but people still made a fair amount of money from them.
The fact that CG ended so quickly proves how much Azimuth is still supported by the playerbase. Seriously - whoever wanted Mbooni permit, got it before; whoever wanted to get rich quickly did it 2 months ago with Tritium CG.
So yeah, let's hope that Frontier will give a proper reward to Azimuth and an influential place in the future of the Bubble.

Bit of a strange one, that.
I had about 500t of Gallite & Cobalt lying around my FC so I dumped it all at the Glorious Prospect, purely for the system permit, and found myself in the top 10%!
Given the way some folks attack CGs, I thought I'd need thousands of tonnes to get that high up the ranks.
In the end I think I was bumped down to the top 25%.
I've yet to be granted the permit, though.

Trading will still affect the market and demand. That is why Mining CGs should only contain minerals/ores/commodities that are pure mining related.
No, not really.
A CG commodity is not affected by anything and the price is fixed for the duration of the CG
CG demand is solid at 999,999.
I sold some at a loss (bought from my carrier at max price) though I doubt that would be more than a drop in the ocean.
To me it shows less hostility than might've been assumed, certainly, I would dispute the 'everyone who wanted it already got it'* permit claim however.
From continued queries there are a Solid chunk of players both old and new even just in AXI/NEWP/Canonn's discords who never got the Mbooni permit... and I'm pretty confident there are more outside given the series of issue trackers on the subject. (Newest omitted as it was 'The CG is over - where is my permit')
I can understand it too. After all, Bright Sentinel was right there in Pleiades, the primary AX region of choice, especially during 22460 - why would you wander off to the bubble to unlock a second source if it was right where you needed it?
Then by the time Sentinel suffered a Critical Existence Failure, Qarato had been retreated, so the permit was completely unavailable... I guess we'll see if Azimuth's facilities they're building include a permit application office.

Usually rewards like this are distributed on the Friday following the end of the CG's usual end date of Thursday. As this one finished early, there is a chance they could be done earlier, possibly today or tomorrow, but no guarantees!

The CG finished during the weekend - when Frontier staff are not in the office - so what does everybody expect? I'm sure the permits will be distributed soon.....
Completely agree, i have all the permits from completing Fed/Imp rank and never bothered with others such as Mbooni as there was no incentive.
Only reason i helped these muppets this time was for the permit, because, well you know just in case.

Sorry, wasn't complaining, was just explaining in case someone went to the issue tracker and went 'why did you leave that one out?'
already got the permit so it isn't my adventure to partake in ^^;
Edited to clarify what i was actually noting, those trackers were largely Pre-CG stuff - Just saying there were Definitely people out there who still hadn't acquired, and did want the permit.

Sorry, wasn't really aimed at you but more a comment on the people posting to the issue tracker!
So - I know how it works and I know it would be work to fix, so I don't quite expect this, but: I think people expect the game to be set up so that CG rewards can be automated and distributed soon after end.

TBH, I just saw the words "system permit" related to this CG and dived in.
It was only when I didn't get the Mbooni permit that I stopped to wonder whether I already have it.
Fortunately, I don't.

i like a mining CG too. if you get chance it also works well in a wing as you can each get full allocation from each asteroid ( silly and unrealistic but makes for good coop as you can share each others "good" rocks.)
For me, a mining CG is a "reward" for bothering to go mining routinely.
My FC has about 8000t of various ores stored on it.
There's a couple of thousand tonnes of spendy stuff but the rest is a broad selection of "mid-price" stuff which I'm not that bothered about selling.
When a CG like this comes up, I can just see what I've got in stock and flog it to the CG for a very good price... and help the CG too, of course.
unfortunately unless i scrap the rules that i have played the game by since launch, i am likely a good 5 years off affording a FC.. and that is assuming i play at the rate i did pre child which seems unlikely. i am 3000 hrs into the game and have under 1.5bill to my name. it is possible when there is an outlier exploity thing which occurs again i may just hammer it as a 1 off just to get a FC and then bancrupt myself after getting it and securing it for as long as i can, but last time i "bent" some of my rules it completely pulled the rug out of any urge for me to play the game.
So alas, I may never get a FC. (I dont even have the rank for a cutter or corvette yet)
IF I did however that is exactly how i would use it, as a store for potentially CG goodies from mining.
