So don't put all your eggs in the one basket? Like, seriously. I always throw in a token effort, particularly when a CG has a 100% participation reward offering, just in case of these exact situations happen (and, lo and behold, my 12 reports are getting me 10 months worth of FC upkeep and an engineered DSS).

Like, I empathise... but what's the problem here? I personally don't understand the obsession some seem to have with saving everything up to deliver in one, big hit at the end of a CG. It's just so damn risky, whether it's early CG completion, BGS effects like this, being killed by a rando pirate or plain old dumb luck resulting in death. It's a complete failure to plan for some common and very high impact scenarios, and should be a lesson learned for those that do miss out; be a bit more defensive and conservative with your contributions so you don't miss the boat. We're talking pretty common icy/rocky bodies here, the sort of thing that explorers usually ignore. There's no need to go deep out into the black to find lots of those... but hey, I say "you do you" to those people... but whether it's in-game actions or even just life getting in the way of participation in a time-bound event... I can't take the idea of people not planning any contingencies here very seriously.

Let's also not forget other context:
  • An FD-initiated CG literally flipped a system in days that's been long-held by a PMF. I don't usually trade in such sentiments, but if we're spilling tears over impact to players participating in CG, what about the impact to that group of 50-odd players? What's their say in this matter? They going to be given back the system that this CG just wracked? Or are we just bullying groups who are smaller and less represented now?
  • There were some warning signs... yes it skipped the intermediate Civil Unrest state, but it was pending, and the impacts visible. But there was also the war, which is a surefire way to tell when the security of a faction might tank. Then there's the crime reports.... all the info is there... something something horses, water and drinking.
  • It's been two weeks. I learned too many times from school days not to try and hand in an assignment on the last day, in the event something dumb occurred and I couldn't do it. This is no different.

Again... I empathise that some of the in-game systems and mechanics aren't the most user-friendly for observing/tracking these things, but likewise, we all play the same game, and it's foolhardy to put the head in the sand and pretend these effects which are well documented and well experienced by the whole player base, simply "won't happen" because it's a CG.

If you go in your Transactions Tab -> Comunity Goals, there, at the very top it says: Time Left 20H 24 min.

It doesn't say anything about lockdowns or something like that.

So if your quest says that you have that amount of time, you should have it, it's as easy as that.

They could extend the CG - and players could keep the faction in Lockdown for another week. I almost want them to do it 😈

Brewer Corp succeed in the CG, but the data's been stolen and ransomed by pirates.

Next week's CG: Trade CG to pay, need 100m tonnes of Low Temp Diamonds, but they all need to be donated for free.

Transactions tab is a summary.

The full CG description (when you accept it) clearly states:
Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.

So... you didn't read it?

Again, I'll empathise that the game's UX isn't the best, but that info is there.

Where do I hand in my scans? Nothing in Contacts or the CG sign-up screen, can't disembark, UNiCart in lockdown because of "rogue commanders"?? WTH?

Well, I was expecting a “Brewer proclaims initiative success but regrets lower turnout due to interference” in GalNet [this Thursday] rather than an extension, but I suppose this will do too.

U
you can't till end of lockdown.

Btw what counts here ? the value of the bounty? because with only elite level oppenents its not like we can chase 50 ships per hour.
Also, anyone has found a mission related to this in neighbouring systems ?

Brewer Corporation have extended their deadline. They must really want that exploration data!

Good solution by FDev in my opinion.

There's a HazRES in the rings of the outermost planet in HIP 90578. That's the best place to rack up PvE Wanted ship kills to get that security status back up. A great time for lawful combat pilots to get stuck in!

You would sign up then hand in your data to UC aboard the megaship, but we got to do some bounty hunting to open that up for CMDR's to use!

I signed up but there was no mention of combat being involved. I'm in a Hauler lol. Guess I'll have to wait it out.
