Another personal First.

It's my very first time being part of a CG, and I need to put my glasses on more often. LOL I just realised that the top will receive 4 million and not 4 billion. What the heck is that? 4 mios are totally ridiculous / useless for most players in the context of this game.

I just play along for the fun of it.

I was thinking it would have made much more sense to offer something more interesting to play for.

Say first place receives a year long free advanced maintenance / repair, second place 6 months free.

The reward received at each level depends on the tier reached and will be considerably more than 4 million for the top 10% and above by the end of the CG. For those only in the top 100% the reward will be 200,000 times the number of the final tier reached but you only need a single bounty turned in to earn that.

But you are right CG payouts have not suffered the runaway inflation that other sorts of earnings have, but then CGs are supposed to be us supporting the community, in this case helping get a party set up, not just about getting richer even quicker.

Edited to correct maths.

for you, perhaps. for me it was a terror-filled hour (so far)

i had an absence from ED for about a year - and after a very brief login last week, decided to use the CG to properly return to the game, so into the RES i went... and kept on having to nip off to one side to try and remember how to do basic stuff.

"how do i turn my head?"
"argh i just fired off an SCB by accident, how do i use a heatsink?"
"how do i retract my weapons again?"
"OMG he's shooting at me, how do i target him? and how do i select his subsystems?"

...etc. etc. etc. - anyway, i survived intact and made 1 mil.
i expect tonight will go much smoother (famous last words?)


---->> probably the only time in ED's history that a triple Elite cmdr in a very engineered Vulture has looked at an Expert Sidewinder and thought "i hope i can beat this guy."

Now for christmas.... FDev has your firegroups reorganised every 10 minutes, randomly, so that accidental SCB will be a more common experience, and every third accidental SCB trigger will cause all cargo to jettison, collector limpets will malfunction too, constantly ramming the cockpit canopy.

This is why I don’t use SCBs at all*, and my combat builds are devoid of cargo racks to empty or carry limpets without controllers.

*The rumours that it is because the proper timing of the trigger on SCBs is above my skill level is a base and unwarranted truth.

Hehehe, get some of them mate ;)

The red one for SCB the black for heat sinks, green for autodock, and yellow to launch SLF.

Spent the evening in a wing with some mates and managed to crack top 10% (for now). First CG since coming back to the game and I am having an absolute blast!

Feel free to add me if you are on Xbox and want to wing up, so much more fun with friends and the bounties come much quicker than if you are flying solo 🙂

We should form an Eagle wing - currently top 50%, but want to at least reach 25%, maybe if I have some time I'll go for top 10%

If you see me, send me a wing request - I'll be happy to join up!

Speaking of, has anyone else been getting terrible rubber-banding at Reorte's RES sites when other players are sharing the instance? It's one thing when this happens at a station, but it pretty much breaks the game when in combat. I'm tempted to switch to Solo because of this.... :(

I would prefer it if the pirates were really hunting the traders.
That way you could escort them or jump into an already existing fight instead of going after some who moonlight at a compromised nav beacon or are going after some miners (who have nothing to do with the trade CG).
Click to expand...

You can do that now. Just log into open. I'm pretty sure you'll find pirates hunting traders at the CG. Wing up with some traders and provide an escort.

Well, for being my first post and me still being by all means a newbie (started playing around three weeks ago), at my first experience with a CG, I'd say it's going well. Sure, I guess there's not much real "competition", since the payouts are pointless (looking at my money after three weeks tells a ton about how much faster it is to make money in other ways), and indeed I really haven't gone at it that much, just a few runs each day inbetween job duties, but heh, I had to grind some combat rank to unlock a couple engineers anyway, might as well do it this way.

If the allready announced systems were not enough heres another one.., CD-30 11949
ELySGeWX0AMG4bf

This installation in this system can generate defence missions and bounties insured for every ship that attacks if you use KWS but its harder than most as there are no local system ships at all when you start.. but can give you a break from the Haz zone for a bit...

No Large ship repair near by you are better off jumping out to another location... repair is in system but repair is 150Kls away...

Ok guys, if you really want to get into the spirit of this CG, you'll bounty hunt with those Cobras you have gathering dust at Jameson. If you're going to be getting a paintjob, you should at least be flying the ship it's for ;)

(God I forgot how much I like flying my Cobra - no other ship sounds quite like it, among other reasons)
Click to expand...

What is this about a Cobra paint job? I heard someone else say that it was a reward for this CG, but I can't find any information or confirmation about it anywhere. Where are you guys getting this from? Is it a reward only for certain tiers or is it for everyone who participates?

All rewards for all kind of activities are weak in compare to painite/ltd/opals mining, but giving few billions for CG isn't a solution.
And right' CG's aren't for money, just for fun, and this is message to all credit grinders :)

So whats the deal with these places? First time I stopped through the other night I got a defense request and completed that, but now it doesnt seem generate anything. Reset the instance in solo and open about 6 times now and nothin'.

Time to activation is random... Thats why I do the haz res then do these then haz res again... to rest... as haz res is slower combat... Activation can be as low as 1 min or as high as 15mins between restart of next activation... Not all installations or mega ships will ever request defence missions... there has to be a bad guy faction in system to trigger it...
but this one does trigger regular on PS4...
