More like those are the AFKers leaving their PCs running the game 24/7.

That could also be the case - i'm not excluding exploiters nor 1-shot cheater beams, but there is The presumption of innocence (and the hope people are not that dumb to cheat/exploit in a CG where they will obviously stand out)
Also, if i was able to get 85 millions in a single session solo, albeit a quite long one, using a krait, i would expect a wing to perform much much better

Anyway, hopefully FDev keeps an eye on the top10 results, cause they're quite impressive for a bounty CG

They’re not too far off from the pulse neutralizer CG. There, top 10 figures ranged from ~800 mil to 900 or maybe 1 billion(can’t get the exact figures now).

Me thinks it’s the Type 10/Conda AFK boats doing it the lame way by cheesing their way to the top. With maybe one or two, at a stretch three dedicated active farmers in a high or haz res. I suppose four if it’s a full wing.

I did my best in effort to reach 'top 10'. I've been observing the grath of bounty gaining. I pointed attention to a yesterday zoom: 317 mil - 820 mil (border between 'top 10%' and 'top 10'). Theoretically they can make practice in co-operative using AFK in HazRes or CNB. Imagine 4 or 10 T-10 being placed next each other for some DAYS. Their fire power would enough to destroy all ships around in secs.

I think there's some kind of hard cap of 1m per faction that a ship can give you, but a ship can have bounties from multiple factions if you use a KWS which can push it up to 3-4m in extreme cases.

I just got 1.09M for one 'conda and I don't have a KWS.

I have no way of telling but it's there in the log that I just added to my post.

Yeah, unfortunately the only way to tell is to check the transaction tab before and after the kill.

Also I got 1.1B bounties in a week during the Aegis Summit CG where they offered "free" ships so it's possible to do it solo and legit with installation scenarios.

1.1 B... I'm dreaming about being able to do the same.

PSA = 90 million bounty credits for 25% Is not going to be enough... you are going to have to fight it out as the bottom of the 25% are active and not passively waiting for the timer to run out...

I love the long range/fast scan double engineered KWS for events like this.

Same. Took me a bit of juggling about to get it to fit within my power supply setup, but got it to fit perfectly.

It won't boost bounties for this CG, bit it does get more cash from elsewhere and as a result also Allied rating with a dozen or so minor factions in the process.

It also helped me get this:

Wow! Now Inara shows 413 mil instead 820! What happened?
Click to expand...
Very likely because somebody on the lower end of the top ten players uploaded his/her data. For example, if the lowest known minimal contribution was 820 mil and it was from 9th player, then an update from 10th player with 413 mil will adjust the range accordingly. For that reason, the thresholds are always like "with this amount, you should be in the selected tier, but maybe you may fit in even with less." The top ten tier is relatively sensitive to that due to the low number of samples (players) in that tier and that it's "adjacent" to another "less occupied" tier, the other tiers are less sensitive in that regard. :)

So because Inara has incomplete data, due to not all players running an uploader, it is estimating what the top 10 players are probably contributing. Therefore the estimate can go up or down depending on how it is calculated.

There was a big difference with that CG - the turn in system was exploited by Hudson, so if you were pledged to him and had rank 5 you got awarded double the amount of bonds you turned in.

Not exactly calculating, just putting data together. For example, when five players from Top 10 make an update and their contributions are, let's say 50,47,45,44,42 I know that the tier range is 42-50. Later, I may get an update from another player who is in top 10% tier (but not Top 10) with 43 contributions and now I know the Top 10 tier range changed. In other words, no made-up numbers, all is based on real values received.
The best case scenario is to have updates from players that are directly below/above any tier threshold and with that condition you need just a very few samples. The reality is often not so perfect, but with the current amount of samples covering a significant amount of CG contributors it's usually very close (although the Top 10 may be quite tricky sometimes, as mentioned earlier). :)
