I like the parabolic prediction, lol

See the change in gradient of the green line when the orange line starts. :)
 
As I see it, there is little to motivate me. I am not interested in fighting thargoids, so I do not want the weapons. If I wanted credits, I would possibly take the passenger/injured missions. So what does the CG offer me? Nothing to motivate me. I have delivered several thousand tons for each CG apart from one. I might do a couple of runs if I get bored with the other stuff. Where are the rewards to suit non fighters?

Not every CG has to appeal to all players. There's plenty of noncombat things to do to help the Thargoid war effort. Or if you're not interested in that the rest if the game is still there. There have been plenty of noncombat CGs and there will be again.
 
Greetings,

A player who who doesn't want to get into the Thargoid war OK. Neither do I really not my thing then I am prepared. But if a player has a massive cargo ship to deliver commodies in a Community Goal to access more advanced weapons then experienced players using these weapons will slow the tide of the war with Thargoids coming to your home system.

Thanks to the Frontier Devs we are all into this at the moment whether we like it or not.

Regards

Wait, what? If the Thargoids destroy your home station you lose all the ships and modules stored there? I thought they are automatically transferred to a close by safe station.

The rewards from these CGs, as has been the case with others in the past, is knowing you have helped the community.
It is one of the better parts of the game for me that not everything I do is necessarily to my immediate personal benefit.

What, like teleported? It usually is done by the logistics co. that transports your ship if requested, but I guess everyone would be busy evacuating/rescuing people rather than emptying the 'garage' of useless (at the moment) stuff.

I am all for helping and have delivered an average of about 6000 tons to 4 of the CGs, but like with other stuff I do (including non Elite), I need motivating so that tedium does not set in. Once you have delivered 000 of tons, I find the activity gets onerous rather than interesting. I even took to running small loads in a fast ship in open for the fun of it. I do not find flying big ships a lot of fun most of the time.

Oops, maybe you are right per I have no real proof. I corrected my post
 
Dropped off 16kt of stuff.
Even if I don't end up using them, access to a gimballed AX gun is something that'll help out a lot of more casual players, even if all they end up using them for is to shred scouts and the odd cyclops.

In the Codex: Pilots Handbook > Xeno Hunting > Providing Assistance > Rescue Megaship (second paragraph)
"If a port containing a Commander's stored craft is destroyed by Thargoids, the craft will be automatically transferred to the nearest rescue ship."

I don't know if anyone's tested this yet.

I can confirm that, happened to me this week. Interestingly, only your active ship gets transfered to the nearest rescue ship. From there, you have to manually initiate (and pay) transfer of any other ships / modules that were present in the destroyed station.

btw 🤔Fascinating how good galactical logistics seem to be in „dealing“ with Thargoids ;o) They can just go into a devastated station with a transport crew, quietly collect all the modules and board all of the abandoned ships that have been paid for and give it a go. I think the Thargoids must get a share of their profit ... this cannot be coincidence.😅
 
Merry Christmas on this fine Christmas day morning in Indiana, USA.

Yep, I want the AX multi-cannon gimballed, so I will swap to doing CG for a while.
 
Yay, the AX missle rack CG has completed.
The AX multi-cannon CG has 1,256,382 collections to go and is going down.
Stop by and say o7.
 
Thank you all most kindly! Ahead of having large groups of Commanders venture into Controlled systems, the upcoming Multi-cannon is likely to be pivotal for creating more who are equipped to do so.

Even if it lacks the Pierce to pose much threat to the larger Interceptors, remember that every bit of damage counts extra if it helps stem their regeneration, and the best friend of a Commander equipped to destroy Interceptors is one who can keep the area clear when a Frame Shift Anomaly appears and Scouts pour out of it.
 
My both CGs dissappeared from transactions tab! Anybody else experienced that? One is finished but other is still ongoing, but however, it never happened before.

Yup was about to post the same thing. Quit to menu when the missile CG was @~99%. Returned now to the game, both CGs missing in the menu, also the missile one missing in my transaction tab (I was doing that one only).

What gives? I wanna complete this one and start working on the other, for whatever's left...

All is fine with me at the moment...If you didn't hit abandon in transitions which is unlikely then maybe check missions, community goals and see if you are still signed up. Also logout to the main menu than back to see if there is a difference. Just guessing...

I wonder if this is happening to players who signed up for both and just completed the AX missile rack CG?
