I still don’t understand Fleet Carrier pricing ... I’ve been playing, on and off, for years and only have just over 4 billion now ... but because various “techniques” exist for earning quick billions, FCs are still out of my reach ... and then FDev add a data based CG ... which is completely predictably hi-jacked by “relog at site-X” behaviour ... and it pays an INSANE amount of credits compared to other recent CGs which required you to, you know, play the game normally and either deliver stuff or shoot stuff ... it’s like they don’t want us to play “properly” ... 😂😂😂

Been to Jamiesons wreckage, scanned, arrived back at Gresley. Can't off load my data scans?

If I did it on solo like advised, do I need to relocate back from open to solo? I'm at a loss with the relogging thing.

No need to mode hop. Make sure you are signed up for the CG, then use the material trader to trade in the AEC (or whatever) data into the UES (or whatever,). Then trade those in at the science and technology contact. Both of those are found in the contacts menu, left hand side of station UI.

Eh. Who cares? This doesn't really affect you. If people getting a bunch of fast easy money means they will get to a point where they can do what they want and play how they want, then good.

I'm not a huge fan of relogging myself, but I can't blame anyone for using it because the matreial grind is not fun.

People on the forums have always concerned themselves with how others are playing the game.

It's the one meta that won't die.

They're using it to gather data on relogging and mat collection, hence the highly incentivizing reward, if you think they're competent.

Otherwise, they're just incompetent.

Two buttons meme applies.

Okay tinfoil would be they want players to be completely finished with the space game so that by the time odysee launches, more people will register as having "nothing to do". All ships bought, carrier parked somewhere. Looking good for the next round. Frontier like usage metrics for braben.

After watching OA's video, i think im going to be doing the exact opposite. Going back to the first few hundred hours when i didn't even know about things in the game and just letting the whole patch wash over and ignoring everything unless i bump into it. Like graphics upgrades. Elite was more fun back then.

Yeh bet that's what they're doing, or it was a simple mistake. Or nothing about elite makes sense until you consider frontiers perspective...

More tinfoil... FD are looking into doing something about reloggers... best way to find out how, where and when would be to create a CG that gets heaps of people doing just that.

The reloggers are participating in their own ddooommm!!!

It's just numberwang at this stage. They may as well add a few more zeros although that will probably cause variable overflow errors, because why not :ROFLMAO:

Ohhh, but they didn't have to - went to sleep after my post, got up early this morning and had a quick look - oha, CG done and I'm 324 million richer - without really having done anything for it. Oh, and of course I could now reap the next 324 million by playing the Jameson loop and dumping the data on Winters... but no, I don't. Instead, I'll come up with a good story for my commander and however it turns out.... it will have something to do with a T10 and a big explosion...

324 million... just for handing in some data when passing by the right star system... I'll say it again: obscene 🤦‍♂️
