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...
 
^ this :)

My Matt black (lifetime thingy) is a bit dull TBH. I want gleam or whatever it's called, or galvanised... And I want it now.... Or before Sunday anyway when we leave dock for a few months
 
To get some numbers, the Distant Worlds Expedition, for the ~3500 of its participants tracked on EDSM as having set off, is averaging about 5000 LY a week per person.

So we'd need 50,000 people to be making long journeys this week to meet the target - or, a larger number of people making smaller journeys.
(Well, not every DWE participant is tracked on EDSM, so that's more than 3500 already)

That looks pretty straightforward (and I assume Frontier looked at the typical LY/week figure to pick 250,000,000 rather than 25,000,000 or 2,500,000,000)
 
Do I really care about a Cobra MKIII paintjob?

I'm still waiting for a decent Krait Phantom paint actually....

Yes that's right. Has been years ago when i've flowen last a MK.III. Since i have access to the MK.IV she's gotten obsolete for me.

The Krait Phantom paintjob you have maybe missed, shortly after 3.3 drop the was the Midnight Black (black friday) paintjob available for around a week :)
 
It really would be nicer if we have had choice to choose one paint by yourself instead new cobra paint ... Yesterday I passed only around 1,5k ly (only half from planned) on my return route back to the buble. That cluser-scan bug almost completely removed my enjoyement from exploration, an unpleasant experience. I really wish that FDev finally make Q4 smoothly going so cmdrs can enjoy all new improvements, for now it is still two steps forward and one (and half) backwards ...

In fact, I'm not much interested in any new paint FDev, please make ED smoothly going with only minimum bugs ... that would be real gift for 25th anniversary ...

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.
 
They would have to pick probably the most boring, grindy, mind-numbing task in the entire game, just to get a paint-job. Yeah thanks Fdev, I'd love to participate, but I think I have a double root-canal scheduled which honestly sounds like a lot more fun.

Not something I would start the game up to participate in, especially with the 'asteroid disovery spamming' bug. 1 paint job? If it was 25 then I'd be all over this!

I bought a new licence to start a new career during xmas so I don't have access to that paintkit. I've already bought 2 paintkit from the store but I'm waiting for something cooler and maybe dedicated to DW2!
