I spoke to a Commander on TeamSpeak yesterday that got into the Top 5% in this CG and he did it on his own without using the Hutton Truckers method of using in game mechanics and playing in Wings to help each other out.
He used a Asp Explorer kitted out for long range jumps. D rated equipment (apart from FSD) and a cargo rack. So for those lone wolf players it can still be done.
As with all the CGs what is the key factor is how much time you have available to commit to the game/CG. Maybe we ask Frontier to limit the maximum number of hours we are allowed to play each to week .... I know my wife would like that ;-)
I did the same - uh, with the Asp I mean, not the asking Frontier to limit time played for the sake of my wife part
I used my 33.5Ly Exploration Asp and hauled 20T at a time, each round trip taking half an hour. Basically I just devoted all my usual Elite time to the goal instead of anything else.
I don't normally do CGs actually, but this one seemed simple and straightforward for a long distance hauler, so I figured I'd have a go, and found myself about 117,000,000cr richer at the end of it, once I'd added the rare item profits to my top 5% payout.
And all solo. Mind you, I wasn't totally alone...I did have Radio Sidewinder playing all the time to keep me company through the long light years of travel!
