Top 25% does vary quite a bit from CG to CG. For recent trade CGs (not that there have been many in the last two years!) which have had a special bonus given to 25% the amount has varied between about 10k and about 20k.

Most of those were module rewards, and cosmetics tend to come in slightly lower, but I certainly wouldn't consider it secured until at least 15k.

well that was a total cluster mess.

I decided to do a quick run on my steamdeck
didn't have any idea of the controls (I normally have a heavily customised set up with dual flight sticks, voice attack and also vr so a lot of context menus are activated by looking at them.

I undocked my T9 fully loaded (I really should have checked the controls) could not find yaw, must have pressed deploy weapons which I got either a fine or a bounty for (not sure) - bit silly as it does not have any weapons.

crashed and got stuck into the toast rack and then rammed by another ship back into the station where I got fined again for loitering , shields down and health down to sub 25%.

I got out and decided to quit whilst it was not a disaster.
i guess I won't be doing this CG on my steam deck :D

Give it another try, gamepad controls are actually quite good when you get the hang of it

Managed to get my carrier filled up with about 12k worth of goods (may have cleared out Fisher Station in AZ Cancri lol), and now I have the carrier parked one jump away from delivery point. I got 1/4 of it unloaded, and am now heading for a smoke break before I come back to unload the rest. After that, I've got to find another low traffic port to get stock from lol, I'm not feeling safe till at least 25k+ units delivered on this goal.

wow that minimum to get into the top 25% is shooting up. I will definitely have to find time for a few more runs in the T9 to cement my position (currently at 14.2k iirc)

i wonder what the cash bonus will be for the tiers? i doubt this is going beyond tier 1, will be a bit pointless if the bonues for the tiers match the 1st 3 tiers of the combat CG.

not that i care as i am doing it for the skin jobs, but a nice bonus on top would be a good cherry.

My problem with CG rewards like this is that they are offering paint jobs for ships I will never own. Now don't get me wrong, I am not against paint jobs as rewards, but we should be given a complete choice of paint jobs, so you can pick one paint job to match a ship that not only do you own but that you actually fly on a regular basis. That would be nice.

Goal to reach T1 seems quite high...doesn't look like it can be done at the current pace?

god i hope we make tier 1!.

but a quick look on inara
14,349,797/57,000,000 (25.18%) is where we are at now.

assuming Robert is correct above that is only 650k to go to reach tier 1. We should manage that shouldnt we? that is only another 1000 runs in a T9 from the whole community.

i also expect some of the people who were doing the combat CG now they are done may be dusting off their trade ships as we speak.

Me too. I was at 13.6k and that just will not do. I will have to make several more runs today/tomorrow I think to keep my 25% place. That paintjob is worth 5k Arx now...

It will be interesting to see how high will be limit for Top25% in the end :) ... I expect there will be quite busy ending since now (very likely) most of cmdrs loads theirs FCs. There is luckily no need resort to this in this case (SCO drives are very usefull), but if cmdr prefer taking cargo from stations then using FC could be more time effective.

well I have called it a night. 20300 is my tally. I will be disappointed if I don't get the skin as I do not have any for the federal corvette but I am shattered and siri gateway or what ever it's called in anlave was stripped bare and only refreshing by small amounts.

I would have liked to do another 1 or 2 runs for belts and braces but it is what it is

It means that the official website does not give the correct information.
Is it a known bug?
