Summary
System: Ts’ao Tach
Station: Victory’s Forge (Megaship, large pads available, 2,207 Ls from main star, 132.18 Ly from Sol)
Objective: Hand in Combat Bonds after fighting for Jupiter Division in Conflict Zones
Time limit: 10th June 3307 @ 06:00 UTC

Description
Jupiter Division is fighting for survival against the Silver Legal Group in the Ts’ao Tach system.
Jupiter Division was formed by rogue Core Dynamics departments loyal to ex-CEO Jupiter Rochester. Although it was defeated in February, a growing corporatist movement within the Federation has helped rebuild its strength.
Vice-Executive Blanca Carbonell, a senior leader of Jupiter Division, broadcast this message:
To all those seeking a better Federation – stand up and make your voice heard! Only direct corporate rule can end government corruption. Jupiter Division must survive to lead that change!
Two megaships, Victory’s Forge and Iron Wings of Justice, are once again serving as the centres of operation for Jupiter Division and the Silver Legal Group.
Political commentators believe that this second conflict will be a decisive one, determining whether or not Jupiter Division can survive without its founder.
Jupiter Division has offered credit rewards to any pilots willing to help secure its existence by handing in Combat Bonds at the megaship Victory's Forge.
The two factions have set out seven-day campaigns, which will end when the top tier is reached or early on Thursday the 10th of June 3307.
To be eligible for rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Combat Bonds at Victory's Forge in the Ts’ao Tach system.
Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your combat bonds will be automatically assigned to them. These combat bonds will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these combat bonds when they are handed in. The proportion of combat bonds 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.
Notes:
  • Victory's Forge is orbiting planet 6
  • Megaship services: Commodities Market, Outfitting, Repair, Restock, Refuel
  • No starport shipyards in system - nearest are Northrop Enterprise in HIP 54530 and Starports in Xi Hydrae - 8 -10 Ly away

Last top 10% finish for this lot paid out less than 3m credits, no reason to see this won't be a complete waste of time to. Currently stacked a bunch of pirate massacre missions that will pay over 200m for just killing 30 ships, much quicker more rewarding.
 
Why not just take Apex? Is it not available from Megaships?

Dunno for sure cos I’m at work, but I’m pretty sure Megaships don’t have on-foot concourses, and so no Frontlines (or Apex).
If so, that means pure Odyssey players (without their own ship) can’t participate because they won’t be able cash their Bonds at the CG Megaship. Disappointing. i wonder if while physical multicrewed they can access the megaships Starport Services and cash in that way?
 
Perhaps, but the corporatist cause will live on in me, my group will continue to carry the banner under Saturn Division. It just won't receive any official support. This was already the plan. The only way I have to change my current event schedule is if Jupiter Division somehow wins.

I ran this event 20 days ago, the opposition failed by only 3 or so days https://inara.cz/squadron-mission/10054/13218/

Having said that, the support of the community is appreciated. So far, corporatist's are putting in 20% more effort on average, we're just outnumbered 3 to 1.

I mean... that mission looks literally impossible. Giving people 5 days to take a system, when a war is at minimum 4 days and one pending day? Looks like 8 days was about as fast as they could possibly have done it.

It was possible but difficult. The system is low population and vulnerable to huge swings. Considering that the cost of them completing it was me deleting my character and starting over, I wasn't about to make it easy. Yes, I go that far for RP Events.

Fair to make it difficult, but there just wouldn't be enough time unless the system was already at war, which it wasn't.

The event started on the 12th and ran until the end of the 19th. The system at the time had a bottle size of over 20% per day. We were fighting a war against IPG and both the Ts'ao Tach war and the dropping of influence were not going to be contested. It was possible by pulling two BGS levers to trigger a war within 2 days, leaving 1 day pending and 4 full days to fight it, which as it was uncontested would've been won on the 4th, thus satisfying the requirements. With negative activity added on top, it might have been possible to trigger it faster but I don't have updated math on that yet. There's no point in an impossible mission. Due to how Inara purges prior daily data it makes things unclear sadly.

And either way, their failure resulted in a cool CG where there are sufficient numbers to do it right this time. :devilish:

Possibly my mistake then - the Inara lists a date of the 14th rather than the 12th, which I assumed was the start date.

Inara only shows the "last updated" date for the text fields. I added blank spaces to the mission and it updated the date. Luckily I kept notes from my planning for the event xD
 
It's a real shame Jupiter Division was doomed to lose from the start. It's almost like competitive CGs are innately unfair.

If any CG devs are browsing, maybe next time use a shared rewards system? Like this?

Where the progress of both sides is added together to determine the tier, and both sides get the same rewards. Otherwise CGs will continue to be determined in the first few hours.

That might work on a non story reward CG but this CG is meant to end with you getting nothing if you end with ZERO tier because there will be NOTHING left of JD as a 0/5 tier is complete and utter failure so nobody from JD will have any assets to pay you with get tier 1 and you avoid total loss and completely crushed group so those who survive on other planets running will be able to pay you then... This is not a minour action fighing over some one sleeping with another wife...
The story is complete removal of a faction if fdev finaly go through with it...

But you have got the wrong game if you want to be rewarded by fdev for completely failing the task they set...
Feds have lost recently completely in a rival CG so it going core dynamics way so completey was no longer insured...
