CG for people in Colonia, please?
- Thread starter Rap
- Start date
Well apart from the week starting 6 January entitled Deliver Xenological Samples for the Holloway Bioscience Institute in Colonia.
Otherwise why not it would help me get on with other stuff if the CG was somewhere I think of as out of reach.

Funny enough, the reason why i thought "at the same time" is so half the bubble doesn't have to travel over - that would be unfair for people with one account.
I know Colonia is a bit of an outpost and is considered as "somewhere to go, and come back", isn't time to think of it has "somewhere to stay", and be supported as such, especially if you're like me and only have one account
Colonia CGs seem to get about 5-10% of the participants of bubble CGs, so having 5-10% of the CGs would seem fair to me, that'd be three to five a year. (And agreed, they could be at the same time as a bubble CG)
Until recently we had the Engineer Upgrade project, which provided a CG-like collective activity, but incremental, with no fixed time limit, and with multiple strands which we could prioritise ourselves. I'd really like to see something else like that in Colonia for the long-term between CGs (maybe to very slowly upgrade facilities at systems outside Colonia itself)

Who’s asking for that? There are how many billions of stars in the game, right? You worried we might not fit or something?

Yeah, and how many inhabited systems are in the game? I think it's only fair they all get their turn before Colonia gets a new CG.
Why does Colonia always need special treatment?
Jesus Christ buddy. There’s plenty of room for everyone. It’s just a CG, nones asking for special treatment or politics, everyone’s invited, I’m just asking for something fun to do in that area. That’s a reasonable request isn’t it? Or no? Lol.On top of that (you’d better sit down for this) I’d like to see more areas like Colonia in the game with their own ecosystems and variations.
Oh so it’s not just me then? Supply/demand.
Aside from that how is anyone asking for special treatment when it’s just parity with what happens in the bubble? Nothing special about it.
Im curious did someone dump you in Colonia or something? You’re like “eff those guys”
So aggy.I’m not being personal at all. I don’t even know you i just think it’s funny how anti Colonia you are. You jumped in and deemed it a “silly demand” when I really didn’t demand anything (and it isn’t silly).
Further, you had nothing positive to contribute, didn’t answer any of my questions or add in a constructive manner. All you had to say was “no it’s silly, why are they special, it’s always you guys” and then got sensitive about it. I’m sorry you feel that way. Think I’m done here though.
Have a wonderful day!

I know at a month old I'm performing a bit of a resurrection with this thread, but.....I don't so much want to see different CGs for different locations, but rather a time of notification on the events and what they are and the rewards.
In a game where you can go off in any direction and just keep going on a.....Star Trek, finding strange new worlds etc etc (exploration), it would be nice if the CGs were mapped 4 weeks in advance - so if something is exclusive like paint jobs (that may not be available again), it gives you the chance to return for the event.
It just seems that a week after going on a quest (a feature the game encourages), you can find you are missing out on a great CG (another feature that the game does well). <O

The problem with that is that with the CGs so closely tied to the story, it'd be hard to reveal anything about a CG required for that sort of planning (e.g. "CG in <system> for <reward>" or even "no CG in 3 weeks time") without also making at least some future plot events pretty obvious.
On the other hand on the current pattern you can probably guess:
- the next CG will be in or near the bubble
- it will offer some sort of reward that's either difficult or impossible to get another way
...because most of them are like that.
(One workaround is to buy a cheap alt in the next sale and use that for exploring instead)
Good point, maybe just list the rewards so not to give away the story/plots?
My thought was just to try to and prevent someone missing a reward they considered good because they were out exploring.
Although I'm not sure if listing the rewards a few weeks in advance would also ruin emersion.
Appreciate your reply, thank you. <O
Well, if you're out in the black and a CG pops up that you really want to participate in, there are several options:
1. Neutron-jumping to get back. Not viable out in the galactic boonies (neutron stars too far apart), but in the central regions you can move pretty swiftly in giant 300ly leaps.
2. Self-destruct and choose the starting Sidewinder back in the Bubble. A couple of obvious drawbacks, you lose your exploration data and your ship. If you visit your nearest DSSA Carrier first, you could at least offload your data.
3. Park your exploration ship, take a stock Sidewinder (or similar cheap expendable ship), and self-destruct in that. This requires access to a station with a shipyard, or a Carrier that sells ships, or a Carrier (maybe your own, or maybe someone else's) where you have an expendable ship waiting for this purpose. My main CMDR keeps an unengineered iEagle on his Carrier for exactly this reason.
4. Hitch a lift on a Carrier. Probably not viable unless you're needing to get from Colonia to the Bubble, or vice versa.
5. Wait and hope. Frontier have started to make special CG modules available again in later CG's, followed by a means of getting them (with some effort) after the CG. So if that's what you were after, you might get lucky.

Although I was aware of the different options you listed, I appreciate the time you took to list those options, thank you.
My thought of knowing what rewards were coming up was really to prevent having to make such a decision quickly and to give a player time to react and maybe finish what they are doing and still make it back for a CG they would like to take part in. I acknowledge that, at the moment, if someone really wanted to do the CG they could drop whatever they are doing to do so. <O
