Somebody in system chat last night said 400k was left to complete. As I was currently docking when I saw the message and had 5mil to turn it, I thought, "Neat, I'll be the one to end this." He meant 400mil. Oh well. This was a fun one and the combat payout buff was well worth it!

hope there will be a "protecting" CG again soon

PSA = less than 400 Million LEFT to final tier...

This will end SOON...
Any Bounties after that will not count to the CG...
So Land soon...

I was refreshing Inara every 15 minutes for the last hour and a half of the CG, and ended up with 90k more in vouchers than I needed for Top 25% rank, but was 10 minutes late getting it to Omega Merchant Command. So I only finished in Top 50%. But, with reward bonus, I made 105mm from this CG, which more than pays for the Alliance Chieftain I bought for it midway through. And I learned a ton about combat and bounty hunting, and got cocky in my last hour of play initiating combat with better-ranked, bigger ships than me in High RES. I have a much stronger sense of what I'm capable of and where to improve my skills. I ran another mission series after the CG ended, but only got halfway through it; I'd since become much misliked in LTT 2545, and was running into ships and wings that I couldn't ensure my survivability against. After my third sprint to get away, I figured it was time to close up shop.

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions early on identifying systems. That was incredibly helpful. I hope you all had a good CG!

If I wanted to replicate this massacre mission / assassinate pirate experience, am I correct in thinking that the steps are:

• Use EDTools PVE Missions Systems to identify systems with the ripe conditions discussed in the linked posts
• Use some combination of eddb.io and physically visiting the systems to determine ideal mission conditions

How much of the second step could be performed from tools vs visiting the systems in game?

Was the condition that made Maring vs LTT 2545 the best route the fact that LTT 2545 in controlled by OMC and Maring is not? Or was it more about LTT 2545 Blue Cartel being an Anarchy faction running pirates, from inside an OMC-controlled system? I think I'm still confused enough about how Maring was identified that I'm uncertain how I might replicate these conditions somewhere else.

how I might replicate these conditions somewhere else.

You need multi factors...
The target kill system needs an Anarchy faction
You need a system that don't have states on the factions that will stop MM spawning in the issuing system (war and other security states)
All mission collection systems with stations need to be <10lys from the target system...
