Why don't we (Pilots Federation) unite and no longer accept any Community Goals that do not include an offer to cover our rebuy cost (for the duration of the CG) if we happen to lose our ship to pirates, cheaters murderers etc? That's what I'm going to do. If you like the idea, spread the word...
New Community Goal Idea for all CMDR's
- Thread starter Bearcat
- Start date
No, because then all the challenge is gone, and it becomes a grindfest. Say what you want about CODE, but they add complexity to Elite at a time when it is sorely needed.
Doesn't that kind of defeat the challenge of the Community Goal?
You want the rewards but not the risks needed to get them?
Don't think the game can distinguish between death by pirates, murders, cheaters, etc with deaths caused by ramming into station. Similarly, this can be abused simply with players taking up CG and doing something else non CG related and still getting the rebuy cost covered.
Anyway, the idea would be a step backward, CG or not, unfortunately.

Can you guys please stop trying to ruin a perfectly good game by not constantly asking for safety nets?

Can I get a daily bonus just for logging on?
Say 100 tons of Palladium?
Rolls eyes.......
O, and it increases each consecutive day I log on.

I don't like the idea sorry - if you're a skilled pilot then your costs will be met anyway.
Play cookie clicker, seriously you get loads of money for nothing!
LOADS OF MONEY FOR NOTHING!!!!!!1PENGUIN

You go right ahead. It won't make any difference as I seriously doubt that FD will do what you're asking. Mostly because it's very much not a good idea but also because everyone else seems to think it's a terrible idea.
I also consider it to be bad.
Thats what solo is for.
No, thank you.

I just went through the DISO CG in solo, made lots of credits, but it was just another challenge-less grind. It would have been a lot more fun trying to run CODE's blockade, but with a 10 mil rebuy on my T9 it wasn't gona happen, especially since I might have been interdicted and killed by a cheater with infinite shields before I ever made it to the blockade, and then, if I did manage to run the blockade, just get rammed to death by you-know-who in the station. Right now it seems there is an enormous economic imbalance between SOLO vs OPEN when it comes to CG's. You are strongly incentivised to do the CG in SOLO, and strongly dis-incentivised to do it in OPEN. I think that if this were not the case, the CG's (at least) might just come alive in OPEN. I hear people who bought the game for the PVP aspects complaining all the time about everybody hiding out in SOLO, well why would anybody trying to make the extra money the CG offers do it OPEN? It doesn't make any economic sense, even if you could afford it, which I suspect most players can't.
The Diso one was a Shock; i signed up did a couple of runs, then RL took over so had a break logged back in a few days later to discover it complete and i had a reward!! (Bottom tier)
I had to check twice as i actually felt guilty and i'd cheated somehow.
I'll be honest i took the reward and i'm making the most of the Diso Ma Corn amounts, but i still feel a bit 'dirty' doing so as i don't feel i've earned it properly.
Yes, we all must unite against evil FD that has decided to not make their game 100% completely risk free casual in open play... There is solo play for a reason... If you can't handle the concept of another individual playing within the confines of the game world, just play there...
Honestly? This game is already way to casual in terms of ship losses and many other mechanics... Inssurance is too substantial and it just gives you a new ship rather than the credits meaning you don't even have to go buy a new ship... You can resell items for the same price you purchased them... You can impact the "sandbox" game world by playing in a solo "instance" w/o an possibility of anyone stopping you... Coming from eve this game feels like I'm walking into chucky cheese so the last thing I'm going to do is let this game get ruined with more kiddie hugging nonsense w/o putting up a fight.

You'd have been quite safe running there "blockade" lots of bounty hunters and mercs, where running interference and sinking there ships.
