I can only hope, that the CGs for Utopia are not deliberately designed badly, so that ;
1 The rewards are usually crap ( a single paintjob? yawwwwnn )
2 The amount of diligence / effort gone to to make the achievement realistically achievable, is always 1/2 done, so often we only get 1/2 of our CGs complete, by memory i can't remember one where there was a split like this recent one, where one was commodities and no-one would get tetchy about losing their personal collection like we have just now, with data,.. someone said 1.5 % for the data one?
What does that TELL YOU, Frontier?!!
$!@#&$!#^%$

Because it would be a gross violation of the fair-play principles / T & C that Frontier agrees to, when WE sign, when WE pay for the game, etc.
IMO it's bad enough trying to play un-interfered with on an AmazonAWS server,
but the truly USEFUL perk/mod-less rewards, are worth trying to get unlike the crap you have coming-FROM Utopia,
and i say that as a person who spends most of my time acting in,on, and for Utopia/Independents.

Stockpiling Uzumoku low-G wings, for a few weeks in my Carrier,.. how about QoL / FUN unique gear, that none of the other powers are interested in, Frontier?
I'm sure there'd be a LOT of them, how many unique rares are there?
How about those Xihe Biomorphic Companions? get a few of those? Utopia's neurotechs can re-program them for carrier-interiors instead of small apartments, so they run around, but don't trash the place? cute-ones that run around you while you're in your ship? Could be a bit of a cute-animal-toy ploy to attract new player ?s to the game, & sell RL merch-for even?

I've just thought of 2 ideas, from nothing but what rares i've collected, there could be HUNDREDS for all the powers,
[https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Rare_Commodities]
Perhaps Utopia's could just be generally speaking high-tech / A.I. included, and i dunno,.. CGs could sometimes create access to some, for non-pledged players, or special-unique ones that have better art, or unique AI behaviours, if it's a little inconsequential ship-critter who sits there looking cute, etc.
Utopia's ones could just be more intelligently programmed / seem more conscious? Even little things like that would be appreciated, Frontier.
Where are those "Cloth-set circuitry" cloaks? we're supposed to make and use for stuff? camoflague? Utopias DO more? if you combined one with a Uzomoku low-G wing, you might be able to glide better? 5% more? i dunno. small perks like that wouldn't be CG rewards i guess, but UNIQUE ones, could be.

Banki Amphibious Leather ship interiors?
Ceti rabbit's foot charms to hang from the windscreen (and cost Arx )
Eleu Thermals, that ACTUALLY reduce how much the cold drains your powerpack / damages you if you run out of power in your suit?
Eshu Umbrellas, that could be crossly used for crude color-camoflague at least, if matched with the terrain? re-paintable before you leave your ship? at port?
Havasupai Dream Catcher from the windscreen? ( costs Arx )
Helvetitj Pearls (cosmetic only)
Kareti Couture (cosmetic only)
Momus Bog Spaniel (carrier-pet? )
Non Euclidian Exotanks (installable above the command deck in one's carrier? configurable to choose between different micro-habitats? earthy insect colony, rainforest + flying glowworms, alien flower patch?.. etc )
Sothis crystalline gold trimmings? (clothing / interiors?)
Volkhab Bee Drones,.. which if COMBINED with any interior-plants,.. appear to be going around tending to-them?
etc etc
Again, each power could get some, but the more TECHNOLOGY focused GPowers would have more useful ones,
but Utopia's ones would perhaps have a few A.I. unique differences?
and-then CGs could give you a freebie normally unavailable, almost the same, but with a few perks?

All the A.I. humans wearing never-ending Spandex-jumpsuits eventually gets to you,
you end up having nightmares that you're stuck in a Richard Simmons exercise video layer of hell!
or are a ... already-made-BLAND, processed,.. brought DOWN to a insect-like consistency ... -something ... human? ex-human?..
as a result of all the space-age minimalism? simple modelling?

Source: https://youtu.be/4WVZbOsqtdA?t=85]
as-a-result of the avoidance of a lot of individual style,
to avoid making those without it, seem ordinary?
not sure why that video came to mind... squashed-down terrestrially with the idea of the Uzumoku low-G wings fresh in my mind? something.
Potential excitement ... FROM further diversity?
well there you go... that's what's MISSING.
A few renegade / whatever suit BASES,.. but still without unique choices of extra stuff... is LIMITING how unique you can be?
We're ending up as bland, as squashed INTO consistency, as poor old Al Bundy?
The quanTITY, of the undifferentiated populous of the planets we service / visit ... are the metaphoric "fat women" from the game-show in the vid?
I dunno... nevermind the blatant sexism / whatever in the vid... it's what happens to Al, that's funny, ofc...
... just ... ugh. What's DIFFERENT,.. about what you can GET here?
