No trading CG?

I like trading CG's, I think most players do.
Not keen on BH CG's:(
This week FD give us 2 BH CG's:(
Not bothering with CG's this week.

Yeah, I like trading CG's also. I just engineered a very good jump range on my Type-9 (25+ lyrs) and was looking forward to using it on a CG, but it looks like I'll need to wait until the next one.

I'm not sure where you come up with this idea, hauling %$#@ from point A to point B for fewer credits profit than I can make in 30 minutes in a haz res is not my idea of enjoyable. But thanks for trying to speak for us, clearly you have no clue what everyone likes.

That response suggests you may not realise how much money some players can make from "mere trading" :D.

I like doing CGs, but I'm quite happy when there's a few weeks with CGs I'm not interested in.

There's still too much to do in the game, for me at least.

Since there isn't a poll. My favourite CGs are rare goods trading.

Define "mere" :D
Aside from one very broken CG where I basically just stopped by to say hello and they gave me 130 million, I don't think hauling things is better, credit wise
 
Swings & roundabouts. Sometimes we've had two concurrent trade CGs, this is the flip side of that coin. Might as well smell the cut grass of spring, or haul a few passengers, or something different. Why not challenge yourself to gather one of every material, or screenshot every class of star, or catch up on House of Cards, during the enforced break?

Well at the moment I'm not making much in either .... I think delivery and passenger missions have made me lazy; I need to refresh my combat skills for sure.
 
give me a trade CG that can only be completed in open, and i'll drop everything and haul stuff to it, but alas "mere traders" are terrified of open.

It really would be fun to see a CG that could only be completed in open but .... well, that opens the "open" v "solo" issues all over again and will derail this thread.

Open only CGs would be hilarious, especially as they're entirely optional.
(Queue the "I'll quit if I'm forced in to Open by optional Gameplay" response!)

I'd be up for the occasional Open Only CG. Not every one though, cos sometines people are just annoying. :p
Seems as we get two CGs (plus the colonia one) a week, it wouldn't hurt (pun) anyone to have 1 Open only CG a month.

Of course, it's entirely possible to play in Open but set up your PC to not instance with anyone. So there goes that idea. :p
That, and you can't force cargo transport in open only.
So yeah. Shot that down pretty quick!
 
Personally I don't think any activities should be open only any more than I think any activities should be private or solo only. The whole premise here is that all 3 'modes' are equal in that manner (equal access to such in-game activities, equal opportunity influence the BGS etc - if anything, solo loses out and is less equal where gameplay is concerned when it comes to Wings and Multicrew though). Despite the portrayal by some of open as being higher risk than the other 'modes' for example (which is actually incorrect if you bother to do a proper risk assessment on it but that's a debate for another thread I would suggest).

While it remains possible for players to switch between game modes at will, or to use their firewall setting to prevent P2P connections, the concept of an 'open only' CG seems impossible. It also goes against the idea of the CGs being for everyone regardless of how they play.

There have been open-only events and there will undoubtedly be more in the future, but these seem to require active participation by FD so they're not really conducive to the CG format.

Spare a thought for explorers, who've been waiting several months now for the next exploration CG.
