attacked Cocijo but go no points?

[Punchdrunk1973]

Hello commanders,

I put some AX gear on my ship today, watched a few videos, then (after a narrow escape, followed by a death) managed to get close enough to cocijo. Other commanders were already attacking it and the thermal thing was exposed, (not the vents, they'd already done them).

I got extremely close and unloaded with 3 large AX missile launchers and 1 large Beam with thermal vent, fired continuously until the target retracted, then fled.

I've made it back to a starport, and handed in 50,000 odd combat bonds. When I went to check the CG though, it's showing I have no contribution??
do you have to attack the vents as well for it to count?

Thanks

well, I tried again in solo play and got credits this time, can't say if it's because I shot the vents first then attacked the thermal thingy, but it worked.

You get Cr14000 by being within a few hundred Km's of the titan when the heat venting sequence is triggered. I got millions without shooting the Vents just attacking the exhaust

 

[Ian Skippy]

I think its bugged. Got millions in bonds by attacking the core and none of it counted.

I posted this elsewhere but may be useful here also.
after being in a bugged instance I tried again solo and it worked.

SO...
Bit the bullet, went in Open.
Missled a couple of thermal vents, managed to get to the big guy before it got blown up.
Managed to do this TWICE.
Got part of a 600k bounty on the way in.
Last time I managed to escape with 5% ship left and caustic damage/out of limpets.
Jumped to Luyten's star at 1%, landed at 0%.
Dropped out of supercruise and started firing repair limpets while the caustic damage kept ticking.
30+ limpets later... jumped into supercruise at 74%, made it to the rescue ship at 50% and managed to figure out where the landing pad is.
Get to the community goals panel and see...
...my contribution is 614 credits.
I think I'm done with this now.

the credits are not really credits that is the damage you did. the credits are what your pilots federation bonds are and if they are over 2 million you will get a ship kit. not to mention the bunch of drives you will get

And the 40mCr CG bonus which goes up with each heart 3 to go at the mo

You know you can cook the caustic damage off?

Boosting+Weapons fire+Silent running, get to 130 - 150 heat and caustic is gone

Just seems like killing multiple thermal vents and the main vent should give a little more credit (as in participation score) than that. It's a real PITA to get there in the first place!

Do not be disheartened As above, check your bonds; CG credits is some other kind of entity than money credits. You need 2000 CG credits for the FSDs.

It's just practice. My first run was awful, I missed Cocomojo entirely and came out the other side. Went back in, found it and ended up limping back to Mars High on 10% hull with ticking caustic damage and maybe half a mil damage done.

Since then I've gotten way better at getting into the cloud, delivering 10-25m cr worth of damage on the core, and either getting out legit if I have 5+ caustic sinks left, or cheesing it by relogging to solo. I am a terrible combat pilot. I cannot overstate enough that if I can manage this, anyone can. It is mostly about having the right ship and some good engineering. And knowing when to not do anything and let the bugs calm down. There's quite a lot of sitting calmly.

It also doesn't matter if you explode! Thargoid bonds are not lost if your ship is blown up. Feel free to stay there until you kabang, redeploy again at the rescue ship, repeat. The rebuy on a cookie cutter engineered Krait mk2 is about 6m cr, or chump change to most of us. Can earn 4x that with one boat of refugees out of Mars High and repeat that loop every 10-15 minutes.

And if you go in Open or AXI PG, there's probably enough commanders you can ignore the vents for a couple of passes and just snipe the core. Run to the asteroids and hide for a couple of minutes after it retracts, stay safe, get a feel for the timings and when to be moving in

You need 2000 CG credits for the FSDs.

Not sure where you're getting that from. The CG itself says:

All participants will receive a SCO-enabled FSD, ... Participants must register at least 1 contribution to be eligible.

I would read that as "at least 1 credit contribution".

In order to get the decal and ship kit rewards, as for previous Titans, you need to do 2M Cr in Combat Bonds (not CG credits) in the week before boom-boom if Cocijo follows the usual pattern, but that's a separate matter.

I stand corrected, I thought it was 2m cr base contribution for anything.

That said, while it is normal to need a practice run or two, once you get it, it's so easy to earn your 2 million that it isn't worth worrying about 'if' because there is only 'when' and the when is quite soon actually. I like to assume I am committing an hour when I go bombing, but sometimes it is less. There are times when the whole instance suddenly targets me and I go from fine to exploded in seconds

 

[Malvenue]

It looks like I've finally qualified. Thank you all for your help and patience.

I do think Frontier needs to make their communications on tracking our progress infinitely better.

Always check the Community Goals panel in the Missions area rather than relying on your Transactions panel which can take hours to update sometimes. I found several times (with different alts) that I'd made the CG after thinking I'd failed.
