Don't go to Colonia for the event - Frontier is trolling you, £50 Mil top reward for "Top 10 Contributors" Rest is peasant money!

Sod the money and sod the decal.(maybe not the decal )
I am interested in what these habitat things will be !

"Each successful tier will provide the Holloway Bioscience Institute with enough material and data to establish one experimental habitat for space-dwelling lifeforms in a nearby system, enabling it to further its studies."

Are they going to be areas in space that hold various samples of the objects found in NSPs, which players can then visit with ease to sample and see the various things ?
Planetary Bio spheres which we can walk around in odyssey and see the various objects found in NSPs ?

Maybe they will just be something more mundane and nothing really interesting like a planetary outpost with nothing to see.
In these days of 1billion+ a day thargoid gibbing profits. The CGs have very little to do with monetary profits as they cannot compete with the other activities on a per hr basis.
Its good ! as then Fdev need to come up with other reasons for the players to be interested in doing them.

This has gotta be some sort of record for the payouts, right?

The real reward was the friends you made along the way

Yes usual reward for a fully completed CG is in the order of 800,000 - 1,000,000 for the top 100% so this is in the order of 8x higher.

Finally got to Colonia after 568 jumps (over 7.5 hours jumping) to find out the "Substantial Rewards" offered to pilots undertaking the journey can be made in 10 minutes mining in the bubble. < Naughty >

Did you scan and map every system on your way up. Hundreds of millions in credits right there.

I bagged 330m for top 10% in the Morai CG a couple of years ago but that was when it capped out - if this one is only a couple of tiers in, you'd have to assume it would have hit those levels if it hit the top tiers.
