Or perhaps a colourful wake.
Maybe they have enough materials now to spawn a second dredger.
Congratulations on pulling that one out of the fire.
I would have been with you if I wasn't fighting off Thargoids/ grabbing refugees from burning stations.

Complete and utter RUBBISH. No opposing side in a CG can compete with (somewhat elitist) FC's spoiling what used to be a good part of the ED game.
FC's are great concept when used for exploration and mobile bases as intended, or for trading for profit in distant markets, not in any CG's which have to involve complex math because of any FC involvement, just permit lock them out!!!!
From what I read, the collaboration between owners of fleet carriers and players without who wanted to assist in contributing as much as possible to the trade goal pretty much epitomised what a "community" goal should be all about.
No, its like taking a Transit van to say, B&M and buying 1 pallet of compost and taking it to B&Q across town, and unloading and selling for a profit then rinse, repeat.
Suddenly, a queue of 10 x 60 ton Artics appear in B&Q car park and need offloading 26 pallets off of each Artic, NO BRAINER for a little transit in the B&Q car park, but just wouldn't happen realistically as Artics owners and drivers would ALL require profits for fuel, time spent etc. and B&Q would only take so many pallets before running out of space.
FC's owners have so much money (by necessity) that they do it at a loss and for the CG side they think is the most 'good' or 'worthwhile' just like a charity.
It Stinks and unbalances well thought out CG's by FDEV, who usually have to adjust with the Finger of God on Friday (as Cmdr Cori said in the Scrivenors Trade thread) .
Think I'll do nothing tonight. Wait like others, to see who's in the lead tomorrow and then simply join that side.
Is that not pretty much the definition of doing it for the 'community', as opposed for personal enrichment? Given it's a 'Community Goal' and not a 'Make Me, Personally, Rich Goal', that sounds a-ok to me. (Note: did the hauling, didn't use a carrier.)
Well that's mostly the case because it's a terrible analogy. Particularly as compost is a likely component of NMLA bombs. Probably.
Can somebody translate that for the Yanks in the room?
I think I got this. It's like a Switcher going between yards hauling one car at a time, putting them into a siding one by one. Then a mainline freight train pulls into the destinaton yard with a long train of cars, so the Switcher shunts them off the train and puts them into the siding. These mainline trains keep coming along, and the Switcher keeps on shunting.
Ah, they are train companies. Got it!
I completely disagree with such view. FCs are now integral part of this game and is up to each player to decice how to adapt to such fact. No one forced FDEv to make two different type of goals for one CG as a competition … imo it was interesting decision and a good one. It was challenging, it needed cooperation, tiers were well set (CG didn’t end early and almost hit Tier 4/5), and mainly it was fun … personally I call it “perfect “ result for everyone who participated in the planning and preparations of this community goal.

"Many in the scientific community have pointed out that the contents of the Knowledge Core, around which the Scriveners’ entire culture is based, will now remain a mystery. There are rumours that this tribe of academic researchers have acquired data about the Guardians during their decades of wandering, which was perhaps the real prize sought by Orion University.”
Maybe it would have been a different result if we'd heard those rumours during the CG rather than after it? I guess we'll never know.
(although Orion were still dodgy as hell)
"many" = more than one, but definitely not a majority. I.e. we asked a few scientists on the OU ship, got two to agree with this and extrapolated from there.
"there are rumours" = this is my (i.e. the author's) idea, but in order to not sound completely round the bend, I will hint that I got this from multiple outside sources who prefer to remain anonymous.
Prime example of (British?) tabloid speech

I thought that was pretty obvious. Of course we didn't have any guarantee that OU would have shared it with everyone either and we may see the Scriveners again in the future.Dredger Clan Resumes Nomadic Travels - Elite Dangerous: Odyssey

But I think it was pretty clear that this CG's theme was "get access to Knowledge Core" vs "Scriveners' rights".
That part, maybe. But this is the first I heard that they might know something about the Guardians.
I suspect that "many in the scientific community" translates to "players who supported Orion"
