COMPLETED CG Support Prime Minister Edmund Mahon's Expansion Initiative (Mining)

Kietrax · May 26, 2021

Summary

System: Gateway

Station: Dublin Citadel (Orbis Starport, large pads available, 300 Ls from main star, 78.62 Ly from Sol)

Objective: Deliver mined Tritrium

Time limit: 3^rd June 3307 @ 06:00 UTC

Description

As the Assembly votes for its new leader, Prime Minister Edmund Mahon has requested mined tritium to aid expansion.

Prime Minister Mahon’s new tritium mining initiative aims to provide a stockpile of fuel to support the Alliance’s expansion programme. This will involve constructing up to five new starports, which are expected to be operational within a month.

Mined deposits of tritium can be delivered to Dublin Citadel in the Gateway system.

If successful, the top 75% of participants will receive a permanent system permit for Alioth by the 5^th of June 3307.

Each tier reached will mean the construction of a new starport within Alliance-controlled space, listed in order of priority:

LHS 2522
Sharru Sector FW-W c1-19
Bei Dou Sector ZZ-Y b0
LFT 814
Herculis Sector IW-W b1-3

This week-long initiative will continue until the top target is reached or time has run out.

To be eligible for rewards, you must sign up as an active participant before handing in mined Tritium to Dublin Citadel in the Gateway system.[/FONT]

Hi ho hi ho ..... (thats enough before i get sued)
Get mining every body.... 103,414K per ton...
@Kietrax

~~The old bugs back only part of what you hand in mined 100% in the ring is counted again this took them time to fix last time...~~

~~handed in 290 got paid for 290 but only 192 credited...~~

Reported - I'll let you know what I find out. Thanks for flagging

Soooo...hypothetical. My carrier is loaded with tritium that I have both mined and bought. There's no way the game could handle which of those were which right? Because they're all stored together on the carrier as just "tritium." So in order to contribute to this, I'd need to mine fresh tritium and not transfer from my carrier because the "mined" tag probably gets deleted once a commodity gets "stored," right?

Yep thats never worked for items that can be purchased and on FC already...
Mining items are tagged Mined... and have no purchased value tag... every thing purchased has a purchased value.
So yep once you put it in the carrier storage the tritium is then mixed with all the other tritium...
When you transfer back to ship from FC storage you don't get what you added back as you can get the older tritium that you purchased instead...

You can only use FC for this if you sell all the tritium and start from zero...

Using a carrier to store ANY of your mined Tritium will remove the mined tag! We had this problem during the last mining CG.

If it's your carrier and you transfer it instead of buying it - it should count

But how would the game retain which tritium I've bought vs which tritium, I've mined? It's all stored together.

ice ring tritium hotspot locations, stay 15-19Km from res centre to reduce risk of pirates and circle the res to mine.....

Haz res

Ngbato

Tritium/Haz @30% planet 9 Ring A

Bhotho

Tritium/Haz @15% planet AB 4 Ring A

High res, If you cant defend from pirates by your self you get assistance here from AI.

HIP 13179

Tritium/High at 33% planet 9 Ring B

No idea, but storing it on the carrier does not remove the mining tag if you use the transfer function
Guess you can try selling some for the cg and see if it counts

Oooo....wait. I can sell it, but it may not count towards the CG, but I can still sell it? @ Double the price it's currently going for? Hmmmm....may be time to double my tritium reserves regardless of CG contributions.

Yeah, you contribute to the CG by selling at the station. Only that tagged as mined will count, but they pay you the 103K/tonne either way.

I'd say go for it, @rOmiLaYu. If you have a significant amount of tritium stored, you will eventually sell the tagged as mined which will count towards your own contribution to the CG AND get healthy profits from both mined and bought.

It's a win-win.

I just hope the cg system isn't full by the time I get home tonight.

PSA
Do not use the pirate avoiding tech of ejecting cargo (not abandon) and then recollecting those,,, Items will lose their mined tag... even if you don't use the abandon option...

Too late - it was still full from the last CG before this one even started when I was there at lunchtime ... At least there is a chance people could cycle through to offload then vacate the slots, but I wouldn't hold your breath!

PSA= Triple tritium over lap for those who have guardian FSD booster... and can't be bothered with pirates in hot spot...

197ly from gateway.

HIP 76521 planet A 2

leave the FSD booster and fuel scoop at... Barnaby Point (M) or Crown Hub (L) in Tharuwa system before heading into mining system then pick them up on the way back after mining...

Park your carrier anywhere nearby (as in within a single jump distance for your faved hauler ship), in a M star system, but make sure you get a spot near the star itself so you have only several ls to travel to your FC when popping in the system
In most of the cases it's faster than parking the carrier in the destination system UNLESS you get a spot right around the body that also has the destination station.

I mean: sometimes (most of the times actually), traveling 100 ls in system, especially on the outward arm of the trip (leaving the planetary gravitational pool), takes longer then a hyperjump.

Also, if you fit a SCA and use the fast dropoff, you will shave quite some time from your trips.

It most definitely will be. It was obvious from day 1 that Mahon's previous CG was gonna win, so a lot of people must have mined full FC loads of tritium in the past week.
