COMPLETED CG The Colonia Bridge Project 2nd Phase - Alcor (Trade)

[Straha Yeagar]

I went for thermal cooling units for this CG, not because I needed the money, but because I was curious to see how much profit I could rack up. 22 million for each Cutter-load, multiplied by 12 runs is a quite decent amount of money, and even transporting this in a Type 6 or 7 would make most new players rather wealthy in a matter of hours.

Yeah, I cleared 400 million in my Cutter.

Wait about a week, then check. They won't normally be given out until after the scheduled end of the CG.

Prophecies of the game's imminent doom have been being made since the game design was published.

Yet here we are with a shrinking player base, according to Steam.

Yet here we are with a shrinking player base, according to Steam.

Not at the moment, according to Steam - it's apparently on the rise - and that platform only accounts for a small fraction of the potential player-base, i.e. a small subset of PC players and no console players at all.

Why fleet carriers and CGs actually suck from the player perspective, new or old, is that it favors those who can play on Thurs and Fri.

If CGs started on Friday evenings or Sat mornings it'd at least even things out a little.

This is a much bigger problem than FC bias or Cutter envy.
Many people only have time on the weekend.

I'd love CGs to start a day later, on Friday evening to run comfortably into the weekend!

Feels unlikely that this is caused by anything to do with Community Goals being generally easier to score highly in if you're an established player, though, since that's been the case since they were introduced in 2015.

Might be something to do - if you're talking the steep drop since the start of the year, say - with the quality of the Odyssey release, perhaps. (which made no changes to CGs whatsoever)

Hi guys, looks like I missed out on this one, unless Colonia...........?

Using your Jedi prediction mind powers, how long does the Colonia side of this CG have left to run?

 

[Flossy]

Have enough Tritium to get to Colonia if I felt like it. But not going this week.
I don't require any more. Thanks.

You wouldn't have had time to get there anyway - it will be over in a few hours at the rate it is going.

Currently heading to Colonia in my Cobra, as it will be easier to get 75%. Though frankly in a T6 even the bubble would only have been 22 runs

Usually rewards are placed into storage on the Friday following the CG - patience!

2h or so

 

[Robert Maynard]

It's over 90% complete:

Some hours I have read. We were at 77% in the morning, now 91%.
3-4 hours, less if the rushing carriers unload quickly.

 

[Angus]

2h or so

Thanks, I'll tell The Albatross to stand down.

WD mate, I only managed to put in 3 + 3 + 3 Tritium as that was all I could buy each trip to Macdonald Settlement!

Put it this way. In the space of a few hours - 13:15 to 16:40 - it has gone from this:

to this:

I doubt you would make it in time....

Because of the huge FC bias.

I finished top 10%, and didn’t use a carrier. I did have the benefit of getting going in it early on, but everyone had the same option.

My bad. I was being lazy, not checking Steam charts before posting, but there is a marked absence of high lvl streamers at the mo.
Good news with the Steam charts.

hear hear.

I also didnt use any carrier - and i got an account in top 25%, another in top 75% and a third might be in top 50%

I used a carrier because I was 500ly away collecting materials

 

[Felix DiCestria]

My FC wasn't involved, I did it in my T9 made 18/19 million profit each run, 20 runs in total for about 360 million profit plus modules when they arrive.
Was hoping for half a billion but obviously the CG didn't last long enough for that.
OTOH the lack of time meant the top 10 weren't so utterly dominant and I had fun holding on to my 10% slot.
Compliments to FDev for a CG that drew a lot of cmdrs to put in a lot of effort.
