Delivering Exploration Data is not Working for CG

[MightyMrDigital]

Here we go again.... Trying to do yet another CG and it's not working...again!! It's probably something unintuitive I need to do in order to make this work based off of past futile attempts at these CGs. But so far, I have flown all the way to Lave Station, signed up for the CG, and then sold my cartographs, and ofcourse, it says I didn't contribute to the stupid goal. This is ridiculous! Every time I try to do a community goal, it never works. There's ALWAYS something, like bad design of the UI, or some F'ed up issue that doesn't allow you to do it because you didn't do something else that takes a lot longer than a week to do in order to even have a chance at completing the goal.

So sadly and unfortunately, as a result I am forced to break my gameplay experience of immersion in order to have to come to these forums AGAIN to find out what to do. SMH What am I doing wrong???? How do I get it to recognize my cartographs when I sell them for the CG???? Why is this games missions and UI so poorly designed????

exploration data sometimes takes up to an hour to tick through the game properly, ie like updating you rank, check it again, and if its still not counted then log a bug ticket you will get a much more productive response than on here ranting.

Well what do ya know! You're right, it just took a while before showing my progress... Super...

Sometimes ranting on here is a great way to blow frustration from issues that the game causes. This game seriously needs a lot of work as far as making sense and being a lot more user friendly, so maybe the designers will actually listen to ranting instead of blowing off obvious common sense issues with lame excuses like "figure it out on your own" logic.

Now I have another issue learned, there is delay with mission data status.... Just add it to the list...

Fair point sometimes a rant is all you need,

yeah exploration takes a while to propagate through the system, probably because it has to update backend databases as to first discoveries etc, and then somewhere in game something the reads it back out again, just a guess but out of all data and game based stat delays this is the biggest one, apart from maybe waiting for a ascension ranking mission

Sometimes it's easier to simply change states (hyperjump to a new system, relog, etc...) to make it update. It's a little quirky.

I'm still of the opinion that CG's are run by the same people that do the Gaffenet. Both tend to be somewhat.... erratic.
