So I just arrived at Banki to take part in the community event. . . really?

As a loyal Lt in the Federation I just travelled over 200LY to Banki in my Cobra to take part in the community goal.

The station you need to report to is >500,000 Ls from the Nav Point (and the conflict zones are only a few hundred Ls from the Nav Point).

The last time I travelled 450 000 Ls it took me 20 mins of supercruise. Now I don't hate supercruise - but I would rather be doing other things.

I assume I would have to do the trip at least a few times to cash in bounties etc.

WHY FD???????? I was excited to take part in this but there is just no way . . .

Does anyone know if Khasiri is a more player-friendly situation (before I waste my time flying there) . . .

Cheers :)

Wow if true, that sucks.

Supercruise is not so bad, except when you have to go a long distance, then it becomes mind numbingly boring...why would they put the zone so far from the drop in point?

Pretty sure you can cash in Fed bounties at any station with a Fed faction present. They don't even need to be the controlling faction.

Dumb comment of the day. Space is also curated and putting a community goal in a location that far out, when it's something that people are expected to repeat numerous times, is stupid. Same complaint was made in beta regarding the distance from the primary of the food objective, seems FD don't listen. CG are unimaginative and grindy at best, making them even more mind numbing isn't smart if you want people to actually participate.

(this being said as somebody currently thousands of light years from the nearest inhabited system. Yes, space is big and I can deal with it.)

Seems FD actually knows better than to listen to [redacted] complaints.

Coming from an [redacted] troll, that is amusing. There's a balance to be struck with these things, something you fail to understand, although I suspect you are merely trolling for the sake of it given posts I've seen from you in the past.

You're joking right?

Repeatedly spending twenty minutes doing NOTHING at all is not my idea of fun. I only have a couple of hours a day to play.

It is supposed to be fun isn't it?

50K?

Maybe this is an experiment then - to see how far people are willing to travel for these community goals?

The old "You're a troll" fallback. What you mean't to say is, "I want everything my way and no one has a valid opinion otherwise, because I'm lazy".

Assuming you're not a troll -- what would be you're limit for a community goal then? Currently, to arrive in the system sign up for the goal and then travel to the Combat zone will take you ~45 mins (minus interdictions) and you won't have fired a shot. It'll take you another 20 mins to travel back to cash in. That's an full hour of nothing but SC (where you can't even leave your PC in case you get interdicted) just to take part.

If they bumped it up to 2 hours (100,000 Ly each way) would you do it? --- of course, because space is big right?

No, you are wrong. If I was 'lazy' I wouldn't be thousands of ly out exploring. You are the one demonstrating lazy thought here. You did not present an argument, simply stated that 'space is big', asinine indeed. For content to work, and work well, it requires participation. For people to participate it needs to be desirable. FD are misguided if they expect significant numbers of players to spend 20 minutes per run for Community Goals which have a minimal reward.

Please, if you are capable, present your well reasoned argument as to why this is good game design. Otherwise get back under your bridge.

I agree, I'm not taking part in the community goals because of this. I found myself a nice 300k round trip in my asp a few systems away. Sticking to that , making more money, taking less time and the stations are no more than 100ls from the hyperspace point.

FD can keep their man made community goals, I'll stick to the boring grind until they add something interesting to the game.


It's already pretty boring, no point adding to my pain having to do 100,000ls super cruise journeys too!

I utterly hate Super cruise so the less time I'm in it the better

I never got it really, standard flight, docking and combat are all awesome and then FD throw In super cruise which is terrible.

Just fyi, if you spent the time to travel before coming here to complain you'd have noticed there's conflict zones right next to the station you need to report to..

EDIT: And I got destroyed while i was alt tabing to post this, before docking. Spawned 160 ly away.

Face palm.
