Last night I loaded up on 3 of each required item for the last phase, which says it will last till the 26th, even though it was the 22nd, I couldn't find any megaships besides the Golconda itself. What the heck?
The megaships are still there .... we are invited to board the winning megaship to collect a decal .... you can too, but not until December:
'The Golconda' decal will be available to commanders who dock at the Outpost or the Federal megaship from 5 December to 16 December.
Perhaps selfishly, I would have liked to have a guaranteed weekend window of opportunity to join in a bit. I’m just envious of those with more leisure time available than I have, probably
The decal is available to all players as a result of the "efforts" of others, the same way every other freebie has been available to all, even if they just visit a station while the CG/II is in progress (perhaps delivering a ton of something). I have no issues with other players collecting the decal in celebration of the saving of the Golcondans from a fate of forever travelling into the blackness of space.True, but collecting the decal without having taken part in the deliveries, that does seem a bit, well.. “John Terry”

big oofCGs can end early if the goals are completed...and it looks like it is. I think this II only had 2 phases so that's probably over too.
Which is incredibly stupid because I didn't take part to the CG's but I can get the decal anyway by simply docking there But I won't. It makes no sense to me'The Golconda' decal will be available to commanders who dock at the Outpost or the Federal megaship from 5 December to 16 December.
That's like denying AX weapons to those who didn't take part in the appropriate CGs .... and to commanders who visit the new space ports in Colonia (which were supported by CGs) ... or even the new WHN systems .... and rare goods that have been supported by CGs ......Which is incredibly stupid because I didn't take part to the CG's but I can get the decal anyway by simply docking there But I won't.

I see it differently. A decal is a wtiness/evidence that proves that you did something special. When everyon can have it it's not special anymore.That's like denying AX weapons to those who didn't take part in the appropriate CGs .... and to commanders who visit the new space ports in Colonia (which were supported by CGs) ... or even the new WHN systems .... and rare goods that have been supported by CGs ......
It's a game. The fleshing out of game features is supported by in-game events. It doesn't mean you are denied new features because you didn't take part.
I understand your viewpoint. The decal is very generic-looking, so it's not as if it says "I saved the Golcondans!" So it has uses for decorating ships long after we've forgotten what it was forI see it differently. A decal is a wtiness/evidence that proves that you did something special.

The AX weapon is a tool that you can buy at the "supermarket" so having it, it doesn't wittnesses anything. I would compare the AX weapons to the new outpost with the new rare commodity that is available for everyone.
Dropping one ton on a CG isn't really special though. On the other hand, my 1% combat decal got degraded to 10%.I see it differently. A decal is a wtiness/evidence that proves that you did something special. When everyon can have it it's not special anymore.
