How can players submit Community Goal proposals to Frontier?

Greetings CMDRs,

Frontier Developments previously had a submission form for Community Goal proposals, but since that no longer exists, I’m wondering, how do players go about submitting ideas now?

Recently, Frontier mentioned they are more inclined to let players help shape galactic events going forward, which raises the question: What is the current process for submitting Community Goals?

  • Is there an official method Frontier considers?
  • Are proposals best posted on the forums, or is there another direct way to reach Frontier?
  • Has anyone successfully proposed a Community Goal in recent years? If so, what was the process?

With Community Goals playing a significant role in Elite Dangerous’ evolving narrative, understanding how players can contribute would be invaluable. If Frontier has clarified a submission process, spreading awareness would allow more CMDRs to get involved.

Looking forward to your insights! Fly safe, o7

Tl;dr you don't.

There's no player-submitted CGs anymore.

That doesn't really answer my question it only reiterates what I already know.

I'm asking for insight into how fdev means players will be able help shape the narrative any differently than before? if not by CG submission then how?

You bolded "What is the current process for submitting community goals?"... so seemed like you wanted that answered. Doesn't make sense why you'd ask if you already knew 🤷‍♀️

I suppose we'll influence through the ways we always have... FD run community goals with different options, and other story content.

Pretty sure they meant Powerplay 2.0 combined with Colonisation (Trailblazers)

Exactly this, I think.

The vast majority of previous player-submitted CGs - at least, the ones which were eventually run - were of the form "build station X in system Y". We can do that with considerably less effort than a CG now.

Powerplay has been far less successful at replacing the "competitive" CG aspects - the mechanics are mostly there, but the visibility and focus of a single weekly flashpoint is not. But maybe that can be improved too.

Yeah maybe I'm only asking because I had an idea about a CG that would result in creating a new rare commodity and lore friendly story along with it, possibly...
