COMPLETED CG Protect Deliveries to YZ Ceti (Bounty Hunting)

For the "i WiLl nOt bE yOuR cOnTeNt mObiUs SoLo oNLy gWeEfUr" crowd.

Haven't been in inhabited space for two years. Decided to fire up the alt for a night of CG BH fun. Winged up with three random CMDR's, spent two hours in a hazrez and made 20mil. o7's all around and a great night.
Gankers are after easy kills. PvE ships may be outclassed by PvP ships, but they can still put up a decent fight in a wing against a ganker.

FWIW, I also prefer to do BH CGs in open in my vulture. At least I don't look as tasty as corvettes in case a ganker does show up. 😜
 
Gotta play the game just for the LOLs. :ROFLMAO:

Well, I have to amend my story. Last night's session involved a fragboat Mamba that found me to be a tasty target. The radar was so cluttered, it took me a minute to figure out what was happening. 4 pips to system, broke mass lock and high waked out. I found him pouting in the hangar and in the CG station immediately afterwards. He logged out before I had a chance to engage him in conversation. I guess he was disappointed that paper ship didn't go boop. 🤷‍♂️

Well, yea... I mean - this is not a Coop goal - like we did when we tried to defend Carcosa some years ago.
This is... well.. a competition - i would try to smack anyone else if it would not be counterproductive to the CG 😂
 
Not sure whether to say it’s a good or bad thing this bounty hunting CG ended early - on one hand, it does seem a bit short when the initiative could have run until the update day, but at the same time, I’m quite happy to not have had to commit more time than I did (enough for about 40 m in bounties) for that 50% placement of my alt. And had a reasonably good time doing it by toying with a beam + frag Krait in high/haz res.

Maybe Frontier have just been underestimating the support CGs for the Titan weapon have received/are receiving. The last Aegis-related one for the extraction missiles(providing I missed none) which had a bounty hunting part to it ended at ~86 billion. So this one… really completed quickly. Reminds me of the spire material gathering initiative… that one, I ended up cutting it a little close. Not so much here.
 
Setting the bar at 50% = good thing.
Making tier 4 the maximum = not so good.

There was an almost identical CG last May, at the same location, for the same type of bounties, for approximately the same length of time (leading up to update 15). The only real difference was that they limited the reward (the thargoid pulse neutralizer) to the top 10 participants, which wasn't very generous. It reached well over tier 4, so why they didn't go with the same number of tiers is a bit of a mystery.

any idea how to claim the module rewards?
They will be placed in Outfitting at Clement Orbital probably some time next week, but could possibly be after the official end date of 26 February. Usually transfer to a station of your choice is either free or 100 credits so no need to wait there.
 
I rather foolishly clicked "Complete" in the CG mission menu - I guess there's no way for me to undo that so I can continue with bounties?
