Community Goal as a Tribute to David Bowie

Just thought we should have a tribute CG for David Bowie. My suggestion is to have a "Walk Off", based on Bowie's cameo in the movie Zoolander. The CG wouls be based in Mars High, Sol, because of Bowie's band, Spiders from Mars. The aim of the CG would be to ship rare clothing and textiles to Mars High base.
.
The Federation rank permit lock on the Sol system would have to be lifted for the duration of the CG, but this alone would get some people involved.
.
Eligible rare goods:

  • Altairian Skin
  • Chameleon Cloth
  • Eleu Thermals
  • Vidavantian Lace
  • Karetii Couture
  • Alacarakmo Skin Art
  • Banki Amphibious Leather
  • Jotun Mookah
  • Damna Carapaces
  • Vanayequi Ceratomorpha Fur
  • Belalans Ray Leather
  • Rapa Bao Snake Skins

.
This variety of rare goods will add some interest to rare goods CGs, which are usually just A to B trading.
Altair is close, 17ly, so would be a popular source, but offers zero profit, other than the CG reward.
Several of these rares are far enough away to give the maximum profit. A couple are in stations >500,000ls from the primary. Jotun Mookah requires a permit. So there is a good variety of options for players to choose.

I cant rep you for this (must spread) but +2.
I had hoped that this sort of thought would have gone into every CG.
Well done and if they don't adopt it, it would be a shame.

Maybe the global rewards for this CG could be: Tier 1 - naming a planet, Tier 3: naming a station, Tier 6: building a new station at one of the new Bowie Constellation star systems.
