They announce this THE DAY AFTER I arrive in Colonia (I hate long exploration journeys and this is only the second such that I have done in all the years I've owned the game. :)
Maybe if they stop the infinite scan notice bug, today, I might actually be able to unlock the Colonia engineers, get them to rank 5, and get travelling back in my DBE in time to contribute.
I'd also like to point out I'm very pleased with myself for making it all the way to Colonia in my mining fit T10. There should be a reward for making that trip "I travelled to Colonia and all I got was this decal" sort of thing. :)

Oh look, they've set a goal which their data says will be met pretty much certainly. As a "reward" we get a paintjob for a ship nobody ever uses.

This is FD's 25 years celebration? I'm really not asking for or expecting anything but this is really underwhelming for such a big anniversary.

I get that the Cobra III is the iconic ship ftom back in the day and all but I'd probably pull my Cobra III out of storage long enough to slap the paint on and then pop it straight back again. Still best not be too grumpy it's a free thing for something that's almost certainly to happen anyway.
Now what would have me interested is if they released sneak peaks of ships to come this year (*chants medium imperial ship like a cultist*).

Now what I would have done do take advantage from the anniversary hype:

Elite Dangerous Anniversary Edition (Base game + Horizons), 50% off, new commanders start in a Cobra Mk IV with custom skin, available between 24-31 January.

I bet there is a closed circle of CMDRs who created Cobra III cult. I may once had CIII as a stepping stone to something bigger. But with this anniversary, as I'm on my way to Colonia and it looks like I'll manage to get there this time, if we manage to meet the requirement I'll probably buy Cobra, apply this paintjob and leave it at Colonia to probably never return.

What % of Elite players use the Cobra Mk III as their main ship and need another paint skin to add to the 54* existing options on the store - asking for a Friend



* 54 unique packs (126 different skins currently not including chrome / gold / black)

Since you put the word 'challenge' in the title: We could just post it on social media and people would buy Elite and do it probably.

I'm afraid this would be the Fuel Rats' final descent into madness though, so maybe we shouldn't do this.

Ok, so, 250,000,000 light years in 7 days approx, so we need about 35,714,285.7 ly every day, with an average peak of 15,000 players across all platforms every day, each player should travel, on average, 2,380.9 ly every day...

If I don't stop to investigate every rock on every planet that I find, I can do it.

Now, if my "peak average" is too low, maybe the amount of ly per day is much lower...

You mistake 'peak concurrent players' for 'total players per day'. The average per player required is much, much lower.

It's shocking really. Other games with birthday's/anniversaries give you free stuff as a thank you, or a "you were here for our 25th anniversay" reward that can't be obtained again.
Not Frontier. Nope. They give you the cheapest reward they could possibly make, and instead of just gifting it to everyone, they make you work for it... lmao

My bet,it will get postponed due to bugs and cheaters.
Just like the great PvP tournament. Which never happened at the end...
FDEV keeps making bad decisions. They need money obviously but are not capable of building a sustainable product, due to a messed up bug riddled base game.
