Just abort and leave the RES. The timer for a 'mistake' hit on clean ships is just 8mins. and requires you to do one h-jump (check your transaction tab). Just don't kill anything, take a breather, maybe reaload at thompson and head back in clean.

Unfortunately this wasn't an 8 min sideline penalty, this was the full bounty for a kill that I didn't make (and not a mistake hit either). Had to make a 420ly round trip to claim all my federal/empire/alliance bounties as well as 3 missions and all my exploration data, then flew back to Thompson and bought a sidey then poked my head out the front door so I could get toasted in the toaster. Now have a clean slate again but definitely a bug getting a kill bounty for a target I wasn't targeting. And yes for those that were wondering...the target I attacked was wanted and I got the bounty for the clean ship he killed.
Well that is my shift over for the day, will be back to join in the community fun tomorrow again. Keep up the good work commanders!!

Awesome find, I knew there was a reason I was reading this thread.
Same question here (even if medium landing pad outpost would be enough as i fly an asp)
Anyone?

I've had a few at Thompson Dock so far - I usually check after a mining trip before selling to the Commodities Market. Are you Friendly with the station yet? I wasn't but saw a mission to donate credits and did that, and became Friendly immediately.
I think its just RNG

I'm friendly with the station and neutral or friendly with all factions, but I've never ever seen a mining mission there, and normally the only missions are the CGs. Sometimes there are a couple of junk missions. There normally aren't even any missions there - neither available nor unavailable, just the CGs. The board at Thompson Dock is a barren wasteland for me.
Doing the log-on-log-out dance to keep refreshing the board, I once got a board with half a dozen junk missions, but I've never seen a mining mission.

It's been fun mining for the CG, but time to head home after a few hundred tons. It just makes me greedy miner heart cry to land a prospector, read 51% Painite, and know how much more I'd be making at home off of the 100 tons of Painite and Platinum (bad RNG, yesterday you gave me 106 Palladium!) between better prices and missions. On a good day I can make 4M credits just checking the board when I pop in for Power Play allocations every 30 minutes and clearing my hold.
I did get one Painite mission at Varati for 1 ton (immediately filled). Now to see if I can hang on to the top 15% rating while on vacation.

The reward for the mining community goals is too small imo - atm I'm in the top 15% and I guess I'll be getting 4M. But I can make more than that in 3 hours mining in my T9. It took a weekend of palladium-mashing to reach the top 15%
So the global reward for this is a "State-of-the-art Research Outpost" in the Col 285 Sector IX-T D3-43 System. Which is located next to Varati.
I'm very keen to see what a State of the Art Research outpost sells.
Hopefully more than your average rum soaked pirate spit-pot Outpost. [arrrr]

Welp, CG has ended, and we didn't quite make the next tier, so rewards aren't as hot as hoped for, but ah well. I had fun

I'm glad someone did, lol. I tried, I really did, but it was just too boring...I turned in a few hundred tons of Palladium in a few hours, decided to get back to smuggling, and left. I was at 33% over the weekend. Here we are, the week is nearly done...and I'm still at 33% and the bar has barely moved. I've only been back in the game for about two weeks (after 9 months off), but perhaps if they allowed traders to join in, it would have been completed?
Very likely but also way too easy. It would have been rather more helpful to combine both parts of the CG (mining+bh) while keeping with the spirit of a mining CG. Still, for a community introduced CG it was rather impressive numbers.
