[Competition] The Pioneer’s Cooperative: Placing a Bounty on a Colonizable System
- Thread starter Walt Kerman
- Start date
I am fairly certain that I already know the answer to this, but I figure there is no harm in asking anyway.
How set in stone is the "earth-like" criteria? Are we truly looking for an earth-like, or just one that can sustain life? I found a system with a terraformable metal rich planet that has its own set of metal rich rings. The system also has a two metal rich asteroid belts, three other metal rich planets, and five metal rich rings sets. Two of those rings are double sets of metal rich, and one of them also contains a metallic ring. All pristine reserves. It also has a view of four nebula.
Again, I think I know the answer, but no harm in asking

Would I be able to 'go the extra mile' and include, say, a PDF with a nice, full-featured portfolio of the system I choose to submit? Or would that be grounds for disqualification? (Not everyone has the time or means to do up such a thing, so I understand if it's considered unfair). The timing for this is perfect for me as i'm going to have some extra free time this month and plan to invest a lot of time into exploration for this endevour.
To submit, you must follow the rules. After that you can post whatever you want, I can't stop you
. But only the submission part will be included on the voting page.Also it must be earthlike.

Thought so. Thanks for answering though!
I have been exploring the galaxy for several months now and have indeed found a few good places with all the requested requirements.
I submit: Froarks IK-T c18-99 as a candidate for a new station towards the core! As I have passed this system several weeks ago I was not able to take a picture of it's location or additional information of the systems whereabouts beyond the title information. however I may be able to approximate the location, to 13K Ly away from SOL... that's too far isn't it? I will check this location sometime soon and edit for more information tomorrow.

Yeah that is too far, according to the rules. Looks not too unlike the Sol system though (if you ignore the second star)
How strict is the distance criteria? I found a system on my previous expedition to Sag A in the BLU THUA region that is earth like, pristine metal rich reserves, and loads of landable planets - it looks great... unfortunately it's probably closer to 2,000ly from sol than 2,500ly (i'm in MAIA at the moment so don't know exactly). Would that be disqualified (before I make the fancy submission)?
EDIT: Just realised that metallic and metal rich are two different things, which means this system fails to qualify on two counts! I think we can disregard this one!

Hello Walt,
I have updated my post with some screeenshots to prove my finding. Please include it in your list.

Well then you should definitely submit that

Who are the pioneers cooperative?
A committee for the player base? Have I missed something?
The game is now being managed and run by a committee of non elected chosen favourites of Frontier? Nothing turns me off this game more than this sort of stuff.
Can we not just enjoy the game by you know, by playing it, and all be equal via our actions IN the game?

I found one!
Your criteria are pretty tough, and I don't think many (if any) will meet all of them but this one comes as near as dammit!
1 Earth-like and 1 terraformable water world.
No metallic rings (2 rocky, the rest icy) but 2 landable metal-rich worlds, lots of high metal content worlds (some landable), lots of other landable worlds. Is anyone really going to go out there to mine rings? I doubt it.

I'm still scouting the area, so if I find any metallic rings nearby, I'll post it.
Update: Metal-rich rings in nearby NGC 6530 Sector QI-T D3-120

Here's one:
BLU THUA ML-B C27-11 - not initially discovered by me, but fills all the criteria. 1 earth-like, 2 waterworlds, 1 gas giant with metal-rich rings. Also it is very near the direct path to Sagittarius A (coordinates 180, 100, 2670).

The rest of the rings are rocky ones.

Don't worry, there is no committee to choose the winner.
The players will vote on their favorite. I'm trying to let the community make the decisions as much as possible while still being organized enough to get somewhere. There are a couple of basic rules to submission, the reasons for which should be obvious if you think about them. For example, an earthlike world for colonization, under 5000 LY for community accessibility, etc etc.The Pioneer's Cooperative is not a committee for the player base. Its a large group of players that have banded together around interest in colonization in the game and to form simple competitions. This competition is not run by Frontier, so we are free to come up with our own rules to the competition.
We will be submitting a CG to Frontier to colonize one of the winning systems. You are also free to submit a CG to Frontier as well on any system you wish to colonize. Acceptance of both submissions is at the discretion of Frontier.

You are missing the mettalic rings. I will be messaging the others as to what they are missing, though in each case its stated clearly in the OP.
A reminder guys. You MUST have an earthlike and be in the appropriate range. Few will travel out to a potential CG near the core. There are enough metallic that we wont need to extend the competition to find metal rich. Please do not send in metal rich as it won't qualify you.
There are two true difficult hurdles to the competition - The Earthlike World and the Metallic Reserves.
Here is why:
We chose an Earthlike World because that is needed for a colony far removed from civilization. Its the most likely to support itself on its own logically.
We chose Mettallic because we figure if anything comes of this, players would rather mine painite, platinum, and osmium more than metals of lower value.
The competition would be extended a month because our concern was that no metallic could be found with an earthlike. Clearly this isn't an issue. Its slightly difficult, true, but thats the point of offering a bounty!
As for location, we queried reddit at one point if they would be willing to go further than 5000LY for such things... and the majority said no. We want there to be at the very least a remote possibility of having a CG so we kept the rules under 5000. Putting it under 4000 LY knocks out MANY nebulas. In fact, our one nebula submission does happen to be over the 4000 range.

This system was not discovered by me, but it's still a wonderful system meeting all requirements. The water based life on the gas giant is an interesting addition to the system which is why I proposed a name and gave a secondary map.

Wonderful submission and it does fulfill the requirements. Third one to do so. I'll be adding you to the OP soon. Why not change a glamour shot to the life bearing gas giant? I knew everyone was probably going to tunnel vision on their earthlike which is why I included two glamour shots.
EDIT: WOW. That earthlike was discovered by my brother Alex! What are the odds!?!?!

On closer inspection of the galmap, I find the location specified of 2.5-5k Ly is in the dark zone, you'll end up calling the Fuel rats all the time, how about somewhere in the more heavily star scoopable populated area's like closer to the galactic spiral? I know each 1K Ly is about 40+ jumps however, 13K Ly where I proposed would be a happy halfway checkpoint if you will. how about adjusting the rule of where and accept my and others proposed star port locations?
OR
even perhaps keep my location in mind for a deeper star port location?
