COMPLETED CG Protect Deliveries to Clement Orbital (Bounty Hunting)

[Kietrax]

Summary

System: YZ Ceti​

Station: Clement Orbital (Coriolis starport, large pads available, 1,225 Ls from main star, 12.07 Ly from Sol)​

Objective: Hand in Bounty Vouchers​

Time limit: 9^th May 3309 @ 05:00 UTC​

Description

Aegis has requested materials in the YZ Ceti system to mass-produce a defence for ships entering the Maelstroms.​

​

Professor Alba Tesreau, head of the tri-superpower agency, announced the initiative at a press conference:​

Final tests have been conducted on the Thargoid pulse neutraliser, which offers ships a brief window of insulation from the energy wave encountered inside a Maelstrom.

Aegis has been assigned a generous budget to purchase large quantities of materials. These will be used to create a manufacturing and distribution base, making the Thargoid pulse neutraliser commercially available on all rescue megaships.

​

Aegis has been authorised to redeem bounty hunting vouchers for all wanted ships in the vicinity, since transporting such valuable materials is likely to attract pirates.​

​

The top ten contributors will receive a Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser, which will be placed in storage at the Orunmilla megaship in the Didiomanja system.​

​

As an additional incentive, the top 75% of contributors will receive an Aegis paintjob as follows:​

• Imperial Clipper Aegis Rampart
• Federal Gunship Aegis Rampart
• Alliance Crusader Aegis Rampart

The campaign begins on the 2^nd May 3309 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.​

​

To earn rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Bounty Vouchers at Clement Orbital. Only bounty vouchers handed in after signing up will count toward your personal contribution total.​

​

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your bounty vouchers will be automatically assigned to them. These bounty vouchers will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these bounty vouchers when they are handed in. The proportion of bounty vouchers assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.​

​

Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.​

Conveniently, planet A 10 also should have all four Resource Extraction Sites. This will also be driven very much by those pledged with Zachary Hudson and the double-claim bonus at top rating!

If "wanted ships in the vicinity" means that the vouchers must be from YZ Ceti strictly then one can forget about nearby Massacre missions, for YZ Ceti has no local pirate faction. If vouchers earned elsewhere for a local faction are fine then one may be able to hunt in a system such as Lacaille 8760 for targets wanted by Future of EZ Aquarii and with missions from LP 816-60 or Ross 780, but any available missions will be split many ways, and definitely test first whether it counts for the goal before committing to that!

The controlling faction that issues the bounties are not in control anywhere else. They are present in Omicron-2 Eridani but are currently in Elections so probably wont be issuing many massacre missions. Not sure if its just their bounties that count so some testing as you said may need to happen.

What about all the installations and megaship in the system, are they triggering the protect from pirates scenario?

 

[GraphiteGB]

What about all the installations and megaship in the system, are they triggering the protect from pirates scenario?

There not meant to be as the controlling faction is not in boom or Expansion so installation Direct control is off due to those states being disabled. but then EDO is a buggy mess so the default answer is no... It can take up to 30mins to trigger those attack states...

 

[forbiddenlake]

Modern Statistical is spawning attack scenarios within 2 minutes does not yield bounties that count (not even with a KWS after 1 round).

As usual, the bounties must be issued by the owner of the station, YZ Ceti Blue Galactic & Co, to count for the CG. At least there's Haz RES in YZ Ceti

Yea does not list whos helping Aegis in the local system so it could actualy be more than the controlling faction.. whos not in boom.. that has valid hand in for bounty vouchers..
some one will need to test that...

 

[forbiddenlake]

Yes, in one round I have tested bounties from:

• Future of EZ Aquarii
• League of YZ Ceti First
• Luyten 347-14 Confederation
• LHS 3923 group
• Law Party of YZ Ceti
• Fleur-de-lys Armada

and I have 0 contribution.

Ampere Exchange: I can't drop in on this without it flying away. Owned by Luyten 347-14 Confederation anyway
Stellar Legal Board: no scenario in 10 minutes
Modern Statistical Whatever: Scenario for the wrong owner, no bounties
CPD-28 332 Bowman: Nothing

 

[GraphiteGB]

OK so atil waiting on YZ Ceti Blue Galactic & Co and they don't own any according to inara... (as EDDB is gone)...

Hi, I'm pretty new to these community goals... and I don't get how are we supposed to contribute.
I've tried sitting in a hazardous extraction site in the system, but I actually fought two low-level enemy ships in ten minutes... and situation didn't get better jumping from one res site to another, since the travel time basically diluted even worse the encounter per minute ratio.

Am I missing something? Sadly there doesn't seem to be guidelines or help of any kind.

Thanks

@Roamcel
The RNG spawn of pirate wanted targets is based on combat rank and number of players in the same instance...
The higher the combat rank the bigger and badder the ships, the more human players the higher max the number of wanted you get spawning...
Then there's the killer of bounty hunting the RNG time to spawn new targets... if you get a high time to spawn new target's RNG number then your instance will be rubbish...
Get a low RNG time to spawn and you'll be getting way more.. Leave the instance and go back go the same exact one... re roll the dice...

If you fly backwards out the ring with flight assist off and then try to low wake forward to super cruse the jump fails to enter super cruse as you hit the ring but generates a new instance still as you did leave the old one and you now role the dice again...

Mega ship and controlling faction is Now in boom... this can trigger defence mission status change...

 

[Roamcel]

Thanks for the info!

 

[GraphiteGB]

Confirming Boom status change has triggered defence of mega ship mission in megaship instance ... pick the correct side and get given Bounty on kills of confirmed Red targets...

Had a pretty good time playing in open yesterday with my short ranged vulture. Winged up with another vulture pilot from discord and added a couple more random cmdrs in the HAZRES. It got pretty crowded at one time, about 9 cmdrs in the instance. No gankers thankfully, we all had a great time racking up the bounties.

 

[Flossy]

The end time of the CG is now 05:00 UTC (06:00 BST) so that you can check how you have done before the downtime. Not that I'll be up at that time in the morning!

 

[CMDR Ecaep]

After turning in bounties for 10 factions, I've confirmed that only bounties issued by YZ Ceti Blue Galactic & Co count towards the goal.

 

[Ned Flandalorian]

So I managed to get in the top 10... but instead of just finding a neutralizer in storage, I got a message from Palin thanking me for being either one of the first to deliver an unknown relic or being one of the few who delivered truckloads of them. Pretty sure I wasn't in either of those categories, so was that message triggered by the CG result?
