LHS 3447 Community Projects "Outfitter Unlocked"

[Gaius Laureth]

I managed to finish the construction project in the top 15% and I can't seem to find, anywhere, what the "Outfitting Service Unlocked" reward does, is for, etc.

Are we going to have to wait until the new station is added to the game before we see what it is? I'd really like to know what that particular reward actually is. I've also been working for the bounty project and have placed in the 25% so far.

You will have wait for the station to be added to the game, happens around the major updates (they may choose to add it earlier) so most likely 2.1/1.6.

The original architecture of the game did allow for stations or services to be added on the fly, since then they can add land bases and make adjustments in real time.

The actual reward is simply that there will be outfitting available, plus all the other facilities that were unlocked.

That means the station will have Outfitting service on it, you know, change modules/weapons on your ship.

In a Station Community Goal, as each tier is reached a new function will be added to the new Station when it is built. This Station will have everything available within the Starport Services.

Ah I see now. Kind of a flimsy reward if you ask me. Unless it was never meant to be a reward for the participants. As if the "global reward" was literally that. Outfitting for the masses at that station. Would be nice if the participants got a discount from purchases at that station in addition to the lump-sum gain from placing in the top x%.

Global rewards have always been for 'all' players of Elite, with the exception of free ships for the noobies over Xmas.


Sometimes it works really well, notably, was building our first station in a nebula (Obsidian Orbital). then it really mattered, and the drive to unlock the next facility was strong in the community. Discounts on ships (for everyone in the game not those that took part) feels like a real reward, especially if it felt like a community effort.
