COMPLETED CG Defeat Pirates in Planetary Rings of Dhan (Bounty Hunting)

[Kietrax]

Summary

System: Dhan​

Station: Kidd Station (Coriolis Starport, large pads available, 14 Ls from main star, 227.74 Ly from Sol)​

Objective: Hand in Bounty Vouchers for Dhan Empire League​

Time limit: 24^th April 3311 @ 06:00 UTC​

Description

The governing faction of the Dhan system has called for support in fending off a spike in local piracy.​

​

Harald Gomes, head of security for the Dhan Empire League, spoke to local reporters:​

It’s becoming obvious that pirates are growing bolder in recent weeks. We’ve received alarming frequent reports of attacks and looting throughout our system’s many planetary rings – icy rings in particular. Our security forces are overwhelmed, and the Imperial navy is occupied in other areas. So, we’re asking for help.

While piracy hotspots are not unusual, the situation in Dhan has drawn interest due to rumours that Gutamaya analysts have arrived in the system to track the performance of any newly released Corsair vessels used in the fighting.​

​

Dhan Empire League has offered extra rewards to independent combat pilots willing to eliminate criminals and collect bounties in Dhan, after registering at Kidd Station in advance.​

​

Pilots who register at least 1 contribution by handing in bounties at Kidd Station will receive the following rewards:​

• One fully engineered A-rated Kill Warrant Scanner with fast scan and long range modifications.
• One new pre-engineered C-rated Kill Warrant Scanner with fast scan and long range modifications.
• Imperial Clipper Empire Etiquette paint job
• Imperial Cutter Empire Etiquette paint job

Credits will also be awarded depending on success tier achieved and individual contribution level.​

​

The campaign begins on the 10^th of April 3311 and will run for two weeks. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.​

​

To earn rewards you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Bounty Vouchers at Kidd Station. Only Bounty Vouchers handed in after signing up will count toward your personal contribution total. The Bounty Vouchers must have been awarded by either the system's controlling faction, or the major faction aligned with the system controller. ​

​

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your bounty vouchers will be automatically assigned to them. These bounty vouchers will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these bounty vouchers when they are handed in. The proportion of bounty vouchers assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.​

​

Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.​

​

As a cmdr who owns the same KWS in the CG reward, I'll just let you all know in advance that it's super power hungry and not worth bringing along.

Edit: It seems FDev added a new reward, a C-rated pre-engineered KWS. Now that is cool.

Dhan has a Haz RES.
Dhan Empire League only has that one system with a RES. But bounties issued by other Empire-aligned minor factions do count.

Advanced Biochemical Innovations in Michel is spawning pirate attack scenarios (for now) that count.

 

[sinkarma]

I lost my pre-engineered KWS!
I can get it back! I am so excited!
Ye its pretty power hungry, but I actually really liked it, was very convenient to use! Especially on larger ships!

Looks like they don't own any installations, but that should be confirmed ingame.

Looks like the Dhan Empire League has one installation, the Exploratory Quantum Technologies.
And maybe some Hauler megaships in the system?

 

[Brian of Earth]

I never have the power problems everyone seems to have. I will be having that KWS and a spot well-placed in the top 10 percent (thank you very much). See you kids in the HAZREZ

 

[JR250]

I flew to all bulk ships and installations, including one owned by the CG host, but none spawned combat for me. Maybe they'll be enabled later?

It also depends on system state, usually Boom. Maybe later in the week

Gib kew werrent scenny new!


also... probs old news by now... I remember when we only had the C variant of SCO drives I said this... but damn its SO super comfortable to be able to use SCO to escape the gravity well of a gas giant.

going to the haz ring and getting back was a BREEEEZE!
6 years ago I would be litterally screaming IRL while my ship puddles about in super cruise trying to get away from gas giants...

Without a doubt, it is super power hungry: 4.8MW.

However, to me it is the only KWS worth bringing along: All others slow down my killing.
My Vette has this one, and I can include it in my main trigger group and just fire as normal, without needing to switch to analysis mode, or wasting distro by holding down the trigger to keep the scan active, or even ever thinking about the KWS. Anything but the squishiest Eagle will get scanned before it dies, as a side-effect of being shot at.

The only downside is running only 7 shield boosters. Being unable to fit an armored PP doesn't matter for a PvE ship with several TV beams and silly shields.

Alan!, Alan!, Alan, Alan, Al, Alan,......oh its not Alan, it's Steve.

Steve!, Steve!, Steve!, Steve.....

It’s fantastic on larger ships with power plants to handle it, like the corvette. The long range is perfect to compensate for the vette’s slower speed. I’ll be happy to grab another one!

It would be amazing if the KWS was C-rated, as that tends to a lot more gentle with the power budget.

If some of you are into making $$$ via Pirate Massacre, you can stack missions from Zi Guo Wu:

...and for the frags lovers (like me), note that there is a raw materials trader at the Kidd Station in Dhan.
Go fill up on G4 mats (brain trees!) before you join the party!

POOR SHOW, FD!

It would otherwise be an awesome experience bounty hunting in the haz res in the icy ring in the CG system, that is, if it weren't for the shadow flickering bug and the stuttering bug. Get your stuff together and fix these.

There is an issue tracker on this, I believe.
Hopefully, FDev can correct it someday...
in the meantime, this is a decent workaround:

Shadow Quality

Click here regarding U18 Update 2. UPDATE (March 16th, 2024): Current iteration is v26. However, v22 has sharper close shadows on foot, at the cost of some more artifacts at very shallow illumination angles. To reiterate, this is a modification of "GraphicsConfiguration.xml" proper, not the...
