COMPLETED CG Support Federal Strike Against Crime Syndicate (Bounty Hunting)

Kietrax · Jul 12, 2022

Summary

System: Andowatye

Station: Bosch Station (Coriolis Starport, large pads available, 68 Ls from main star, 94.74 Ly from Sol)

Objective: Hand in Bounty Vouchers for United Andowatye Democrats

Time limit: 21^st July 3308 @ 06:00 UTC

Description

The Federation has offered bounties to hunt down all surviving Red Family ships in the Andowatye system.

Executive Agent Faisal Sacranie of the Federal Intelligence Agency released this statement:

Information provided by the Proactive Detection Bureau revealed that the notorious Oberon Church has gathered his remaining followers in Andowatye. Our mission to take down the narcotics syndicate is not complete until its kingpin has been arrested and charged for his long list of crimes.

The FIA has authorised hiring independent pilots to act as auxiliaries for this operation. We are working closely with the United Andowatye Democrats, which has placed bounties on all wanted ships in this system.

It is crucial that our agents locate Oberon Church before he departs from the system. If we cannot eliminate his defenders in time, he may once again escape justice and re-establish his drugs empire from the shadows. We have a duty to all Federal citizens to prevent this from happening.

The United Andowatye Democrats have confirmed that contributing pilots can redeem bounty vouchers at Bosch Station in the Andowatye system.

The campaign begins on the 14^th of July 3308 and will run for one week. If the final target is met earlier than planned, the campaign will end immediately.

To earn rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in Bounty Vouchers at Bosch Station. Only Bounty Vouchers handed in after signing up will count toward your personal contribution total.

Please note that if you have any crew members, a proportion of your Bounty Vouchers will be automatically assigned to them. These Bounty Vouchers will not count towards your personal contribution total, and your crew will receive the reward for these Bounty Vouchers when they are handed in. The proportion of Bounty Vouchers assigned to your crew will depend on their rank.

Be aware that faction-state changes and other disruptive events can negatively impact markets and station services, and could prevent the initiative from running smoothly.

Editing this in post 2 in large font in the hopes that people see it

Missions from the nearby systems, for example Assassination or Massacre missions from Kholo, which target Andowatye, spawn pirate signal sources there and count for the CG.

No there is no no RES/CNB at least as I write this.

----------

So, where to hunt?

I see no RES nor CNB in Andowatye (Odyssey; restarted the launcher about 13:20)

United Andowatye Democrats is only in the one system

Haven't checked the installations

Miyamoto Industrial Site is owned by the anarchy faction

goemon · Jul 14, 2022

megaship in system if it spawns scenarios.

Kholo, Silvantzin, Sedia and Lengi next door can all spawn massacre missions to the CG system.

JR250 · Jul 14, 2022

Went there, signed up. Jumped to most nearby systems and no Oberon people to hunt. Horizons says to look in "<system>". Odyssey doesn't provide any further details.
I don't do Thargs, but I need my pew-pew fix. Help!

forbiddenlake · Jul 14, 2022

I'm at work now, but if you wanted to check the installations/megaships in Andowatye and wait 2-3 minutes to see if an attack scenario spawns, then report back, that would be helpful!

goemon also reported a few nearby systems that should spawn missions that target Andowatye that will spawn mission signal sources there.

Andowatye	10	Federation	26,918,683	0.00 ly
Kholo	8	Independent	2,665,174	now at war
Silvantzin	5	Federation	50,656	5.91 ly
Sedia	18	Federation	78,674	7.34 ly
Lengi	8	Independent	126,389	now at war

Systems with in the 10Ly massacre mission bounty range... if faction are at war/election it will reduce the missions generation...

JR250 · Jul 14, 2022

Been to all megaships and installations in Andowatye and no pew-pews. Some of the guys there also visited nearby systems and couldn't find anything. Per Inara, someone's turning in bounties so they're out there... I guess. Not the best start for the CG.

GraphiteGB · Jul 14, 2022

Take cargo missions were the mission board says "some ships may be sent after you" in bright red...
Sit in space in CG system and let pirates come to you... Then kill them...

Darrack · Jul 14, 2022

HAHA sorry Feds your on your own!

I've had a bit of action at the nav beacon, but it's pretty slow going.

Sure, and I much appreciate your suggestion. But I can also sit on the nav beacon and get one Novice ship every 10 mins. Or just fly and interdict whoever I see. Bounty Hunting CG of the past have been purposely set in systems with RES so there's a constant flow of incoming customers.

There are no missions for the CG targets at the station, none. There are no instances of the CG target faction anywhere. Not in system or anywhere nearby that I and other cmdrs participating have found. FSSing systems yielded nothing. Visiting megaships or other facilities did not trigger an event.

So, I can only conclude that someone at FDev forgot to turn this thing on. The system has a CG market in Galmap but that's it, nothing else is on. Really hoping I missed something. For now, I've wasted 3 hours chasing nothing.

forbiddenlake · Jul 14, 2022

Just to check, what are you defining as the CG target?

Because what actually counts is all bounties issued by United Andowatye Democrats. You won't see "Oberon Church" anywhere. For example, any missions targeting Andowatye Purple Mafia in Andowatye will get you bounties that count. If there are missions.

You not after pirates, your after smugglers... Smugglers Dont go around stealing cargo and killing ships... they hide illegal cargo on normal looking every day normal ships... So finding them at rings would not be real game play its players working out that the game does not separate the bounties . . .
Any bounty issued by the controlling faction counts as fdev wee to lazy to split the bounties into groups... As other poster also stated..

Are there any options for Odyssey settlements?
I've not yet done any surface combat but I have gathered a selection of G2/G3 gear so perhaps there might be some options that don't involve spaceship combat?

JR250 · Jul 14, 2022

The CG description says:

"The Federation has offered bounties to hunt down all surviving Red Family ships in the Andowatye system"

But there are no missions that target the CG system, none that I found. There are missions for other systems not controlled by the local faction. None of those are mentioned in the CG description and seem unrelated. I suppose I can pick one of those and hope for the best. Thanks!

I checked Odyssey as well and it was the same. Maybe there are some ground level stuff in there but I'm on VR.

SlickPBW · Jul 14, 2022

Flat tire CG.

Boom the controller. Space installations will be active.

There's one settlement in the system owned by the pirate faction, in anarchy, which I linked in the 2nd post. Presumably you can kill the and that works, though payout will be poor (compared to the usual space payouts) and idk about missions.

If you hunt in other systems, they will not gain you bounties that count, unless you use a KWS, which may or may not work and in any case will be poor (compared to in-system hunting).

I do agree that the lack of good hunting grounds is odd. We have a few options, most of them poor.

Exactly! Sure, the mission will be paid but not the bounties.

I'm at the CG station now. There are a total of 3 combat related missions. All 3 are to get "pirates" and all 3 target other systems. FDev, please fix!!
