MORE CGs pretty please

So I was more than pleasantly surprised to see the current CG had run its course, along with the bounty CG and the first trucking CG that's three yes THREE CGs completed over the course of four days. I'm not sure if it's a record of sorts but it sure is a sign that the community will turn up if you give them good reason to.

What I'd like to see is more interlinked CGs, I know there's no STORY LINE in ED but that doesn't mean there's no STORIES, every time we turn on to play is a story and it's not as if the devs don't have form either, the emperor story almost 2yrs ago now, the colonial expansion was started with a cg to build up jacques station. Those are just 2 examples I'm thinking we could have more.

id love to see a series of 24hr mini CGs run over an ENTIRE WEEK each one linked to the next and dragging us all over the bubble. now I'm well aware not everyone can play 7 days a week, family, jobs, actual physical interactions all can interfere with the real important stuff like ED but a well organised week long event could drum up huge interest from the community advertise it well in advance and it could be a record breaker, tie it in with the bugs and il book my time off now.


well that's my pipe dream I'm not bothered about a story line par say, I'm happy to keep on writing my own story but I'd also love to get more involved in the story of the galaxy and I'd like to know if any others feel the same way.

I could see using the CG mechanics to do all manner of events.

Ever hear of a Poker Run?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_run

I've organized a few of these in my own PG, and they've been a lot of fun. But it would be SO much easier if actual in-game mechanics were used.

Same with Scavenger Hunts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenger_hunt

Vastly easier to organize as we've always used cargo items - 1 Jadite, 1 Unknown Artifact, 1 Low Temp Diamond... you name it.. if you can pick it up and drop it to show you actually have it, we've used it.

But these could easily be done on a much larger scale, using the CG systems with perhaps a little modification.

Oh, the possibilities....

I've had all sorts going through my head since my original post mainly about a

THREE WAY WEEK LONG EVENT.

Which involves the EMPIRE the FEDS and the ALLIANCE taking part in daily competing CGs over 7 days for new technology that would give the winning side an edge in any possible forthcoming conflict with the thargoids, like extra protection for that powers aligned stations or combat ships.
Each factions CG would have a counter cg to stop it so players could decide to complete their own CG or try and sabotage another factions attempt BUT YOU WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO SIGN UP FOR ONE CG per day so choosing would be very important even more so as it's a three way competition.
yes I'm well aware that's 6 CGS a day and that's a total of 42 in a week but it would be EPIC an event TO END ALL EVENTS.
its just a dream but dreams can come true hell 33 years ago when I first started playing ELITE this present version of the game was but a dream.

(to whom ever designs, implements and runs our CGS though I'm un aware of the time and effort it takes I know it must be a great deal so I'm not trying to give you a heart attack by floating this pipe dream so there's no need to hunt me down or worse tell your misses your not home for 6 months due to a muppet on the forums)

the thoughts wont stop coming. because our friends in colonial need some love so the whole thing would be kicked off by a CG out there which would be the founding point of the technology

Sounds like those PS4 players are really turning up the speed on those CG's.

And yeah, FD need to readjust to the new playercount or add more especially as a lot of the PS4 community get into the bigger ships capable of hauling/mining more and killing quicker. :)


I also love the idea of chain linked CGs.

When was this CG on the PC? I started playing Elite: Dangerous around March 2015, but after a few weeks I was bored and left for several months. During that time, I didn't know about any of the online tools available... can't even remember if I was part of this forum at that time... :D

EDIT: I joined this forum in May 2015.

Originally Hutton only had a special gin that you could obtain. Later a mug was added (tons of scrap from the remains of the FSD drives of those who had to self-destruct due to running out fuel before Fuel Rats came to be). In the original Mug Run, several players won an actual, physical Hutton Orbital Mug. I believe this was about a year and a half ago. I'm sure someone will come by with a correction shortly.

FD: I'd really pay money for a real Hutton Mug and a real Hutton T-shirt in the store, you know. Hint, hint.
