Those rewards are pretty depressing...
Tried again. Did everything as I would normally do for combat zone missions.
- go to the right panel, last option where you can pick sides .. you need to pick the side that is not "emperor's dawn"
- as soon as you've picked that, your allies will be green and the enemy will be red marks on your radar
Didn't work. No combat bonds awarded for destroying Emperor's Dawn affiliated ships. I am ranked with the Empire and I am also unpledged in powerplay. All targets appear green to me even after choosing to side with Ch'i lin United Corp. Once firing upon Empire's Dawn ships they turn red but no combat bonds awarded.
Last night, I had two long sessions, I thought my headphones were borked, unplugged them shook them and tried some other ones. And the game also seemed to freeze for half a sec now and again, totally unplayable, both times last night (im talking good 2-3 hour sessions in one of the CZ's)
So its NOT my PC about to die a nasty death then! I thought the SD drive or G card was on its way out![]()
Well, in all honesty, even if we still had to make a big push to victory and it was obtainable, I would now say let it fail. Why do I say this? I make this statement because there are those out there who don't know what a fair fight is. I was out in super cruise heading towards the combat zone in Ch'i Lin and was interdicted - okay that is fine. However, I was outnumbered by two Fer De Lances and some other one I don't recall - all three attacked and destroyed me despite being in an A-rated Anaconda. I have no problem loosing to a one-on-one fight, but this just proves that they are afraid of a one-on-one fair fight. I am willing to bet if someone was about to destroy any one of them in a one-on-one fight they would run with their tail between their legs (low waking out, combat logging, whatever)!! If those you of who outnumber commanders like this in a fight would knock it off, there would be far fewer people going to solo - it's your own stupid fault geniuses! So, in the meantime until you change your ways and wise up, quick your pathetic moaning about how there's no one around for PVP!
To the three commanders who were responsible (you know who you are), you'll get no "street credit" from me or many other commanders on this forum - as far as we're concerned the victory didn't count. Who is with me on this verdict??

have some rep for not combat logging..
although i do think you should have ran away. I wouldn't have stayed to fight id have been using my Magical FSD drive thing to run away.
Thank you commander - I would have ran but I was sending them a message over comms letting them know how pathetic they were for quoting their ridiculous by-law (paragraph, section, sub-section garbage) directive at me. I was irritated enough that I neglected pressing the engine boost button. Besides, I don't think I could've outran two FDLs - would've been lucky to low/high wake out of there.

You don't need to boost to high wake... Mass lock is irrelevant.
Yup, I ran into the same group. I was able to high wake away from them, but it still ruins the experience. Whats even more frustrating is that they smack talk like they're good pilots while you're boosting away from their gank squad, and then they go suicide in a sidewinder to get rid of their bountirs.
I've also noticed that some gankers have gotten smarter. They will take a wing of 4 into the CZ, align with the Emperors Dawn, and then target other CMDRs. Not against the rules, but certainly a crap move.
If they are part of the Emperors Dawn player group, fair enough. If not: cowards, too afraid to go mano y mano in a videogame. *sigh*
Theyre targeting Commanders specifically. Methinks its an effort to gank without incurring the associated bounty.

Three impossible CGs, each with a two week duration, two of them losing several days to a ceasefire. These are the kinds of goals where you think to yourself, "It's a long shot, but if we pull together as a community and actually do this thing the payout should reflect the ridiculous cutoff for success and effort required from the pilots, right?" Wrong =/ I'm not even sure it's worth flying back out there to pick up my reward, because I'd earn that much or more in a RES in the same amount of time. It's on the list of "I'll go pick that up if I'm ever in the area" items in my Transactions tab now.Those rewards are pretty depressing...

Add all that with the time spent dealing with gankers, and I'm not feeling like my efforts were worth it at all. Honestly, this was my first community goal, and I'm less inclined to participate in more afer my experiences with this one. CG was poorly set up, rewards don't justify the effort, and being jumped by gankers was my first real introduction to PVP. I've wanted to try my hand at PVP now that I'm not "brand new," but 4v1 is beyond my abilities.
All in all, not a lot of fun.
