COMPLETED CG Protect Deliveries to Minerva (Bounty Hunting)
- Thread starter Kietrax
- Start date
If Frontier choose not to extend it, yes. Bounty hunting side will end when it reaches T4/200 billion.
The trade side is progressing much more slowly (though it may reach tier 7 if estimates on it are correct) and will carry on regardless, however.
No, ones from other systems count.
It's not completely clear to me from what people have said if any independent faction bounty works, or only ones for independent factions present in the Minerva system.
I was able to turn in (KWS) bounties from systems that didn't have the CG faction or any of the other factions present and get credit
.Not sure if there's a requirement that the bounties have to be collected past the start of the CG or not.
They never managed to get that in place for any other CGs, so I doubt there's one here.
People did once manage to boost a war CZ by expecting it would happen and stockpiling bonds for that faction for months in advance.
(They didn't win, but they turned it from a walkover into a really close fight)
Ok, so the scenario is, Nyx has pirates, Minerva has missions. Take the missions and kill pirates, get CG bounties and paid for missions. But it doesn't seem to be working as when I turned in the bounties gained it did nothing to put me on the CG ranks. So are there specific "enemies" that I need to kill?
Did you sign up to the CG in the Community Goals section of the Mission Boards? If not then nothing you do will count.
As to what "specific enemies" you need to kill for the CG, I suggest:
1) Don't do missions, they are time-consuming and often will take you on a wild goose chase across several systems for laughably low rewards.
2) Do this instead.
Good hunting. o7
Nyx is not controlled by Pan Galactic Mining Corp, so the bounties you earned in Nyx won't count for the CG.
Importantly, it's controlled by a Federal faction.
Specific enemies, no - what matters is who issued the bounty on them.
If you don't want to hunt in the CG system itself, then you need the jurisdiction you hunt in to be controlled by an Independent faction.
By far the simplest option is to go to one of the HazRES in the CG system and start blasting away at anyone with a bounty.
(There may be more efficient locations elsewhere, but this will be more than enough to get you into the top 75% almost immediately and the top 25% within a few hours depending on your kill efficiency)
Inara is now showing that the end goal of this CG is now 500 billion.

Yeah, I was interdicted once in 40 runs to Starlace. Seems like the CG is working
Even pirates know bait when they see it.
The ones that don’t… well, there’s a reason they don’t last long in the business.

yay... they fixed that annoying bug where you could attack a ship in a wing and the other wing mates didn't go hostile.
that seems to be working again now. it's not perfect ..... i still get idiotic pirates scanning me asking "I wonder what is in your hold" whilst I am reigning hell on a different pirate ship
but that has always been the case . I had a lot of fun at a Haz Res. and a 1st for me in over 10 years. it wasn't in VR. I had limited my steam deck to hauling and long distance travel but combat is enjoyable on it too (albeit it's nothing like VR)
I have more than enough to cement top 75% in the combat CG and top 25% in trade. anything else is a bonus.

Maybe I should go hand in and complete the CG thenDecals should be available any time now
