Just dropped off my grelics.. Maybe if the CG lasted for another US evening I might be able to do better but inara has it finishing before I will likely get a chance to do more. Either way, I think it was a good CG, I do like the Guardian ruins and the Thargoid Structure also gives a good opportunity to stock up on Thargoid mats that the Scavengers drop.
COMPLETED CG Campaign to Acquire Unclassified Relics
- Thread starter Kietrax
- Start date
Despite the Relic conversion process being still quite fraught with ceiling-related problems, indeed I found that success rises to 100% by scanning the device from the chamber entrance, awaiting one pulse, then collecting all swiftly! Destroy at most two Scavengers in the corridor, ignore them thereafter, then I found that one dash through the chamber yields one behaving Relic and dislodges the others.
An earlier experiment involved scanning the device from far in the corridor and edging out of sight, which caused the Scavengers not to associate its activation with the interfering Human vehicle in the area, and was quite nice for looking around with Camera suite. From there I noticed that disembarking at all can be enough to free a ceiling Relic, although for me this also caused more problems than it solved—on one occasion the result was a ceiling SRV and a Stuck Recovery, and on another it failed to return SRV control to me after boarding. Driving out and boarding the starship indeed seemed to work.
In any case, is there a known drive to reach Tier 4? It looks plausible given the excess far beyond Tier 3 and the total amount being just shy of six-sevenths, and if so I will try to help with any modest amount more I can create this evening.

Didn't apply in my case, all my ships and modules are on my carrier.
I'm amazed at how motivated the participants in this CG are, 0.1% of total has me comfortably in the 10% on the other CG but would leave me clinging to the 50%-75% boundary in this one.
Impressive.
It's currently over 90% complete. Might even finish a few hours before close of play.
Inara is saying it has 6 hours to go. Might be a late rush if there are hoarders. Always fun when they end up a close run - can I keep my CMDRs in the PJs?

Inara says ~4h for 100% and ~14h to the end.
Some people just love to complain - I've enjoyed it immensely

Agree, I have to attribute it to the power of that Cutter paintjob. Looks like it's going to wrap up here soon unless Frontier extend it (hint hint), as that was the one I was really after.
Barely a thousand to go, Inara estimating about an hour.
Better get moving if you want to get in now.

Less than 500 left. If you're still out in Thargoid territory at this time, you're probably too late.
One jump out!
Finished! And I was soo close
It's done
Goodness; well done! I was just about ready to start collecting anew some more blue Relics, so perhaps I can ready instead a few of each in the Carrier inventory for possible future module purchases. I imagine Titan samples will be requested next!
That was tight - for both PJs you needed top 50%
and my commandos were:
anyone doing more - you worked too hard

I am so disappointed ! I am so disappointed! There is so much inequality in the CG, but this is breaking records! I mean, it was supposed to be a very difficult CG, it's extremely time consuming to collect the "grelics". Even yesterday there was still a lot to do, and when I come back this evening after work, it's already finished! I have literally spent hours, even days of my life stupidly trying to be in a good position to get the rewards and when I come back I haven't even had time to log in when I see that the CG is already finished ! I wasted all this time for nothing when most of the time it's the opposite: the CG is impossible to achieve. Are we supposed to have no life to play in? What a desappointment...
