CG predictions...
- Thread starter CMDR Serra

Think of all the resources released by the console announcement!
Yes but if there was any news to share I'm sure the whole team would be excited to share it
Exciting! I remember that word...Yes but if there was any news to share I'm sure the whole team would be excited to share it
New prediction is there may not be a CG at all and its another off week...
Kietrax is leaving it very very late to login... Which leave flossy to make or bump a No CG topic

Given that nothing seems to be working right now anyway, I think it's a bit early to worry about whether there's a CG or not.
If theres no CG theres no reason to login for a lot of people on thursay at all... the game can then wait for another day
Good, because we can't.

TAURUS MINING VENTURES OPERATION CONCLUDES
07 APR 3308Pilots’ Federation ALERT
A corporate initiative to mine and deliver ores to the Synuefe CE-R c21-6 system has ended successfully.
Taurus Mining Ventures had performed scientific research within the system, claiming that the properties of some natural substances had been altered by an unknown type of local radiation.
The company’s head of research Dr Ruben Carpenter announced:
“We now have sufficiently large quantities of coltan, lithium hydroxide and methanol monohydrate crystals mined from locations in Synuefe CE-R c21-6. These irradiated ores will be analysed to determine their potential commercial value. Samples that were provided from other systems will also be very useful in our comparative studies.”
“To all the pilots who assisted in this endeavour: thank you! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. The Heart of Taurus megaship will remain in Synuefe CE-R c21-6 for several weeks, and you may collect your rewards from there.”
Taurus Mining Ventures confirmed that studies to identify the source, effects and application of the local radiation are continuing. The scientific journal The Empirical has reiterated that these ‘atypical radioactive signatures’ have not been independently verified.
Thats what the avatar is...
But we know from the empire story that duplicate doppelgänger avatars can fool human people...
Poor gankers going to cry like a babys. Frontier is depriving them of meaningless killing of Cmdrs.
That's my story. CGs (specifically combat-related ones) are my "end game" content in Elite these days. CG's are like a squadron for loners, LOL
I'm kinda in that group and it is dissapointing not to have a "weekly" that I can always turn to if theres nothing else I feel like doing but still want my Cmdr to 'accomplish' something. I like to see an active CG every week even if it's not tied into any ongoing narrative or lacks a sexy double engineered module. It's a bit of 'comfort food' each week just to see and participate in. On "off" weeks like this I feel like there should always be some system in the bubble that puts out a call for help from Cmdrs to help with some local problem. Just choose any one or two existing game play loops (combat/trade/mining etc) insert local factions names + vague reasoning and make it adequately profitable. Just my 2c.
Meanwhile in the Empire...
A public referendum in the Marlinist Colonies has resulted in the majority voting to remain fully independent from the Empire.
Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval had proposed to make the colony systems an Imperial protectorate in return for Marlinist allegiance to the Imperial throne. This would have permitted an autonomous government while creating many civil and military links.
First Minister Octavia Volkov announced the referendum’s results in the Marlinist Parliament:
“Our people have given us a clear mandate: the colonies stand alone. In accordance with the key principles of Marlinism, we reject monarchy rule in favour of republican governance and direct representation.”
“Most of us are still haunted by the trauma of becoming refugees in 3306, when millions of innocent Marlinists were accused of supporting terrorist acts. We fled from an Empire that had become intolerant and abusive. This cannot be so easily forgotten.”
“Nevertheless, we recognise that approximately a quarter of our population voted to accept the Emperor’s proposal. The ties to our homelands remain strong, and we still share much culture and history with the Empire. But the will of the masses is evident.”
“I offer my thanks to Her Majesty for extending this offer, and call upon her to recognise and respect the decision of the Marlinist Colonies.”
