The rewards for the Community Goal are not worth doing the Community goal, can we get something bigger? Maybe increase the prices tenfold for the commodities at Starlace Station, or offer a large sip or give the number one contributor a free fleet carrier? That’s supposed to help bring out the bulk carriers right? They’d have all the construction materials needed for constructing colonies come out to space, including the CMM Composites, right? Then maybe we should up the rewards so people would actually be interested in doing the community goal. We need a lot of people for that and so far only like 5 maybe 100 people are doing that right now.
Community Goal Rewards tToo Low

is 70 mil for 1 ton good?
130 mil for ~500t+
Don't forget the tier bonuses

While you might have only counted 5-100 people there have been 12,228 contributors providing 59,002,015/300,000,000 (19.67%) contributions of 1 tonne so far with the second weekend rush getting underway.
Or add an hour in a RES helping the plod and cash in 200 MCr. (2 MCr. in bounties, that's someting on the order of 10..15 kill participations).
P.S. And if you don't know how, put a gun on your ship and drop in a RES in a non-solo mode, then send a wing request to any CMDRs already there. Or drop a line here or in the Discord of your choice. Chances are very good you'll find someone to wing up and share the bounties.
My gripe isn't so much the profits or rewards for the CG, its the amount. Gosh I hauled almost all last weekend and the progress bar barely cleared the 1st tier. By last sunday night it was just under the 2nd tier. It seemed like double the amount of cmdrs were doing hauling than the amount of bounty cmdrs, yet the bounty goal was climbing up much faster. I think there is a good effort being put in for the trade cg, but those efforts would have to be quadrupled to even hold hope for reaching the top goal. I'm gonna head back over there this weekend and haul as much as i can.
That's due to the fact a) that the margins for the tiers are slightly to high imho to fully complete the CG and more importantly b) shiny new can haz!!!
The timing for the CG is just one week off.
Maybe the CG could have been a week earlier so it ended on the launch of trailblazers. I'm sure there's alot of Cmdrs focused on their new system claims and unable to partake further in the CG. I think FC Cmdrs are having trouble as well, I know I couldn't use the FC last night and it halted my plans for the CG. I spent so much time trying to get there and put my plans into motion that by the time I got a time slot it was around 10pm and an hour and a half jump time. My productivity was zero.
Originally, it probably was intended to end with Trailblazers. If you recall, before the hauling CG we had the survey CG, which had been extended after the system security (was?) crashed and put the station into lockdown and "the community" loudly complained to FD.
Now, "the community" has to decide whether they want their new shinies now, or want easier/more shinies later...

That’s not my experience, at most, I can only get 18 million per 784 tons, that’s just too low for me, specially when I want to get a fleet carrier, and most options are no longer as available to earn that money anymore. And mow I find out that colonization is high investments for low returns. I’m getting real tired of this game.
What money making options have been removed?
If you've handed in 784 tonnes, you'll be (safely) top 75% in the trade CG, so will also get a 160 million credit bonus on completion of the CG for that.
You might just about have time now to kill a few local pirates, hand in 2 million credits of bounties to get into the top 75% of the bounty CG, and get another 200 million credit bonus from that.
That's a very high payout for not much effort.
Not exactly removed, but they lowered the payouts for them way down from what I’ve seen them have been at
Lowered the payouts for what, I am asking for examples, just vague generalisations are pointless, for what!
