COMPLETED CG Join Archer's Exploitation of Imperial Weakness (Combat)

[Kietrax]

Summary

System: Many, see description for details​

Station: Several (see description)​

Objective: Fight for Jerome Archer forces in Power Conflict Zones​

Time limit: 17^th July 3311 @ 06:00 UTC​

Description

Federal security forces have launched a strategic offensive, with Jerome Archer declaring Aisling Duval's territorial claims to be unstable and vulnerable.​

​

This follows criticism of Duval's perceived military inaction during her tenure with Aegis. Archer's supporters seek to take advantage of this perceived weakness and secure Federal presence in key border systems.​

​

Pilots may contribute to this initiative by first signing up and then destroying Aisling Duval aligned vessels at Power Conflict Zones.​

​

Power conflict zones may be found at the front lines of Archer's attack:​

• Santy - Noakes City, Szilard Terminal, the Onyx Bastion
• LTT 7509 - Sharman Installation
• LHS 6031 - Dobrovolskiy Station

Note that no fire zones will not be enforced at these locations, although firing directly at stations will still result in a robust response.​

​

Pilots who register at least 1 contribution will receive the following rewards, regardless of which side wins:​

• 1x (2x for top 75% and above) of each 1E/3C Gimballed Fragment Cannons, pre-engineered with Double shot and High capacity modifications.
• Credits, depending on success tier achieved and individual contribution level.
  
  Stat breakdown:
  Burst rate of fire +1400%
  Burst size +2
  Reload time -50%
  Maximum range -10%
  Clip size +8
  Ammo capacity +68%
  Power draw +20%
  Mass +60%
  
  The Screening Shell Experimental will also be included.

If Jerome Archer emerges victorious, those who are specifically pledged to Jerome Archer will also receive:​

• 40,000 merits
• Jerome Powerplay banner cockpit customisation

Archer's forces have set out a two-week long operation to establish their authority, which begins on the 3^rd of July 3311.​

​

To be eligible for rewards, Pilots must sign up as an active participant before destroying Aisling Duval aligned vessels at Power Conflict Zones.​

​

This is a competitive initiative. You may only sign up for one side at a time. You may switch sides by abandoning the goal, but note that any existing contributions will be forfeited.​

​

Commander power pledges will be taken as the pledged power at the time of initiative completion.​

​

Contributions will update at an interval of approximately 5 minutes.​

​

Notes:

• Competing with Asling Duval and Li Yong-Rui CGs
• Sign up anywhere, kills automatically tracked, nothing to hand in

[Rebel Yell]

How do we sign-up for this CG? Is allowed only for CG-Powers pledged CMDRs or is it open to all?

Because it says Powerplay CZs, but seems like who decides to attend earns combat bonds and not merits...

I.e. if I go to Santy, can I sign to support Archer and fight outside the station?

 

[Helmut Grokenberger]

Just go there and do it. In my case (Kaine pledge), I signed up for the LYR part of the CG, to do so: Went to the megaship in Gondul (which is marked as the CG location on the system map), when I dropped it warned me about a CZ, docked, tried not to get shot on the way in, signed up, launched, started shooting. Didn't get to choose a side, but once I attacked the first smurf ship, the rest of them turned red.

 

[Shadowsnog]

mission board progress bar counts credits, so unless it counts only credits earned by x power member, anyone signing up should be able to contribute i guess...

Hah thanks matey, will follow the advice

Good hunting. Yarrrr!

 

[Cmdr Sharky]

I seem to be earning credits doing that, but it doesn't tell me when it happens. Just when I dock and look at the CG progress, I see "107,800 CREDITS EARNED". Other CGs, I had to turn in the combat bonds in order for it to count towards the CG. This one I don't have to, I just turned in the 107,800 after seeing it already credited.

Word of warning here:

Watch your background. If you happen to fire on the ship, it immediately fires on you and will likely kill you.

 

[Cmdr Sharky]

I'm fairly sure I tickled the ship while my target was chaffing and I didn't get roasted for it, but good idea to be careful. It probably follows the same logic as other ships, which don't instantly go hostile at a slight scratch.

 

[Cmdr Sharky]

You can't launch a fighter within the no-fire-zone, you have to go out of range to launch.

Wrong . I slightly tickled the megaship with what was probably a single shard of my Pacifiers, and got blasted into oblivion twice. Also, the NPCs are mean. From time to time they actually straightline for the station as if to bait me to fire at them (and miss) .

 

[Frenzy K]

Be careful for friendly fire. I destroyed a enemy ship in front of the onyx bastion. The Onyx Bastion deleted me faster than i could think and didnt realize it until it was too late.

I have now 800k in bountys, but i cant trade it in. What am I doing wrong?

I am not too sure, but for the CG, handing in doesn't seem neccessary, just destroying ships does it - my contribution on the CG page kept going up without handing in the bonds. Seems those are just for your personal profit?

To hand in, go to the combat bond contact. These are combat bonds, issued by the pilot's federation (at least for me - I am doing the LYR side of the CG), not bounties you hand in at the admin contact.

@Rebel Yell, hey, 2x C3 + 2x C1 mod frags sounds great for...your Mamba??
Happy?

Thanks Cmdr,

I figured it out, that you don’t need to trade/hand it in, because it counts automatically

• 1x (2x for top 75% and above) of each 1E/3C Gimballed Fragment Cannons, pre-engineered with Double shot and High capacity modifications.

Any chance of getting a complete breakdown of the stat modifications, similar to the information given out for the previous two CGs?

I've flown a DS full frag Clipper and... it was like love and hate so I'm not really a big fan of the DS because it happens that the gimbal loses the targeting between the 2 shots when the speed differential between shooter and target is high. It works really nice against big/fat/flat ships of course (I hope it will be possible to engineer it).

Hi Cmdrs,

today I started with 7.8 Million and Im still after an 3/4 hour by 7.8 Million. I shot plenty of Aislings Ships down at the Onyx Bastion, but the Kills didnt count somehow. Does anyone know why? Is it a bug?

o7 Cmdrs

EDIT: I also restarted the Game, but it still stays at the 7.8 million

Did you get merits (displayed after each kill on the top right corner of the HUD)?
If so, relax and check tomorrow. Sometimes it takes a while for the servers to catch up (or your UI to sync).

 

[Flossy]

I'm confused.

I've been at the Onyx Bastion megaship in Santy fighting for Aisling against Archer. Previous couple of days, I went through 2 'wars' earning 11 million towards the goal.

Today I did another. But this time, I earned nothing towards the goal. Why?

There seems to be a problem as all three CGs have been affected - showing flat line on Inara. Will flag up.
