Hi CMDRs,
Recent CommunityGoal to deliver Ceremonial Heike Tea to Wilkes Orbital in Nespelevein order to cure Professor Palin and the members of his research teamsaw a big commitment of the community, people giving away Heike Teato larger hauler to speed up the delivery flow.
Whenever thecommunity is asked of why such a commitment, the response is alwaysthe same : because of Bast, never again.
It's hard forthose who did not participate in Bast CG to understand why searchfear of Bast.
It was bad,really bad.
The CerberusPlague was developping exponentially and several systems were alreadyunder quarantine, no landing allowed and lots of stored ships gottrapped.
The community putan immense effort to try and cure one system and its station –Bast, Hart Station– through a single-Tier Community Goal with novisibility on the tonnage required nor the payout, selling at a lossfor shortest-efficient routes, no Cutter available at that time, andrelying mostly on ships like pythons (money was not as easy to earnas it is now in ED).
To add to thedramatic events, lots of pirates where running the skies of Bast.Some people turned into white knights to protect the traders, all ina formidable community effort.
The outcome ofthis CG was a success and the turning point to stop and cure thePlague, however the community got mixed reactions due to poor payout.For some, the deception was as high as the effort they put in thisCG.
765 peopletook part in this nightmare, 765 people that are now known as theBast-Hart's.
To get a sense ofthis epic CG moment, I gathered few quotes from the forum thread« Active Community Goals Thread #2 » run by Brokenstormat the time. I serve to you this story below in SPOILER quotes.

CantorTerminal in the Santjalan system
ShepherdHub in the Bastes System
YegorovStation in the Maheou Ti system

Ifone CG succeeds, do we save the station or create a cure to save themall?
Ifit's all about a cure then we should focus on only one ofthem...anyway, if it's only about the reward upon completion, weshould focus on one of them only...

Idid a quick survey of all 6 infected systems. Here's what I found:
1.Bast - Hart Station is 204ls from entry, has lots of high techsystems nearby, is in the middle of those high tech systems
2.Una - Hoard Orbital is 2196ls from entry, has some high tech systemsnearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems
3.Santjalan - Cantor Terminal is 451ls from entry, has average numberof high tech systems nearby, is on the edge of those high techsystems
4.Maheou Ti - Yegorov Station is 920ls from entry, has lots of hightech systems nearby, is in the middle of those high tech systems
5.Ochoeng - Roddenberry Gateway is 484ls from entry, has some high techsystems nearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems
6.Bastes - Shepherd Hub is 1601ls from entry, has some high techsystems nearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems.
.
Basedon this, Bast has the shortest entry distance, offers a high supplyof medicines from all directions around it. I highly recommend thatwe focus on Bast. The entry point makes for faster trade routes andthe high supply gives us the best chance of not running out.

AlertAlert! Medical Emergency , All independant pilots.
Recapon last week or so. Situation report as follows.
Recentoutbreaks as follows, outbreaks last week or so spread from bd-024304. Situation has become dependant on success of CG's . Failure ofCG's no bonus. This goes for bounty hunting pirates as well asmedical runs.
Thelack of completion of bd-02 4304 allowed the Cerberus Plague tospread beyond containment. Spreading to Dajoar,Eleu,20 Ophiuchi.Failure to contain the outbreak due to lack of coordination andpirate intervension helped spread the plague and put Independentpilots from contributing as profit could be found elsewhere. This haslead to the outbreak spreading to far worse effect.
CurrentlyDajoar,Eleu and 20 Ophiuchi are in total quarantine. Ships and raregoods.
Assessmentof situation. Virus will overcome humanity due to overwhelming ofsupplies and lack of focus. No rewards and failure.
Unfortunatlymany will have to be sacrificed if there is to be hope. Now we have 6outbreak sytstems and could be overrun quickly if the outbreaks areallowed to triplicate and mutate. Action must be taken, butcoordinated if there is to be success.
Wehave a week to try to find a solution and time is of theupmost.
Ratherthan spliting our resources we are trying to focus on curing onesystem, Maybe with that we could learn how to deal more effectivelywith the other outbreaks, splitting our objectives we split ourchances further against a deadly virus.
Sofar we have few contributors through the 6 systems, with mostconcentrating on curing Bast.
5times the contributors so far to Bast. 20 on average so far over 5 ofthe systems,, i assume like myself signed up to monitor theoutbreak.
Majorityof Cmdrs helping so far 105 now as of present time, focusing on thesystem of 'BAST' for numerous reasons
wehave a week to really throw everything at this. as well as recruitingmore CMDRs to the cause. If we all focus towards one goal, as acommunity.
thereis a chance if we can find a solution and remedy to this plague,which we hope could assist in curing the other systems. Split towardsdifferent goals we lessen our chances of success and reward.
Reasonsfor Bast over other outbreaks.
Shorttrip to delivery at staion 200ls from jump in point. Should piratesdecide to appear,
ias well as other CMDRs have battle ready ships to occupy them anddistract them leaving transports to easily arrive safely. ( pleasepost any pirate activity and i will try to keep them occupied.)
Manynearby systems with high tech systems which can supply the medicinesneeded. All Medicine types are valid Agri-medicines,basicmeds,performance enhancers and progenitor cells. Bring as muchtonnage as you can.
LHS1663 7.52 ly Frobisher City 440 LS from jump in.
platforms..O'Donnel gateway 651 ls Bulychev holdings 1170 ls
BD+7558 8.8 ly Stephenson Station 1725 LS
ALRAI14.04 ly Bounds Hub 1070 LS
Theseare the closest,, many more nearby for those with better jump range,,will take supply management. If you have the range,, grab fromfurther and leave closer ones for the short range Cmdrs.
Ifwe can cure one we can do more, we make this our goal as we can allget rewarded, in fame and money. What we get unknown so far dependingon how we do, but not impossible if we coordinate.
Personallyfinding the reward would be nice,, maybe a % of their sales profitssince they have many rare goods,, we dont want to lose these or traderoutes. but really,,, i'd be happy to save the Universe and get aflashing Blue light,.,, ! honestly,, if i had a flashing blue light,,and maybe didnt have to request docking permission since i was somespecial plague ambulance, it would be worth it..
Goodluck CMDRS. and lets do this

Ijust finished delivering 1.1K tons to Bast which put me in top 40%. Imeasured the progress bar and noted 3% total progress for 77K tons.That's means 2.5M tons are needed to complete the goal. Ifparticipation is the same as today, then we'll only hit about 21% ofthe goal. Rather discouraging, especially considering the best I wasable to earn was 300cr/ton with Tea and 700cr/ton with ProgenitorCells every 10 min. Since I normally make 4 to 5 times that with thesame ship, this isn't profitable by any stretch. I'll try this onemore night to see if the participation climbs before deciding whetherto bail on this goal.

Ijust checked and the CG is still there. And I must say that everyoneis doing a fantastic job because less than 4 hours ago, the progresswas 5.7% in 17% of the week. Now it is up to 7.9% in 19% of the week(0.42). So, the ratio of (%CompletedTons)/(%CompletedDuration)changed from 0.34 to 0.42. When the ratio hits 1.0 and stays aboveit, that means that we will finish on time.

Thisweekend, I should be able to bring in much more. If you're havingtrouble finding profitable trades for both directions, post to thisthread and I'll help find you some profitable trade routes.

Update:
Awing of 2x Clipper and 1x Python is in Bast for kills, not cargo. Iwill try and fight them, any help is welcome. Until Bast airspace issemi-safe again the advise is to trade in Solo or private.
Inever thought I'd advise Solo/private mode but it is very importantfor the whole galaxy that we find a cure for the disease outbreak!

Itseems the pirate situation has improved a bit. The wing I was talkingabout earlier seems to be scared away after suffering large damageand losing one of their ships. I have also seen a certain Bakeryproduct related CMDR around. He has a nice fat bounty of just over300k for any interested bounty hunters.
Besidesthe bakery CMDR, I think space is quiet enough for traders to havefun in Bast-open-Play en-masse. Merry trading!

Whatreally annoys me are self important people coming on here and tellingme and others how they should feel. If someone is angry, they areangry, if they feel let down they feel let down. You can't tellpeople how to feel. It's why saying "Calm down" to an irateperson is the worst thing you can do. If someone is angry and wantsto complain the best thing to do is let them, let them get it out oftheir system and they calm down themselves. After tomorrow some ofthese really angry people will have had their say and moved on. I'mnot particularly disappointed by the reward, I had a great time I metsome nice Cmdrs and had a bit of a giggle with them. But whether Ifeel angry or not, don't tell me how to feel!

AllI want (and I'm sure all the Saviors of Bast would agree with me onthat) is a huge Galnet headline: "The cure for Cerberus Plagueis finally found!" Meaning that there would be no more "deliver2.5Mtons of meds for almost nothing" CGs. Locked systems getunlocked, plagued systems get cured, and all of us can climb intotheir fighters and go for some BH CG. At least these are quiteprofitable even without huge awards.

Idid a quick survey of all 6 infected systems. Here's what I found:
1.Bast - Hart Station is 204ls from entry, has lots of high techsystems nearby, is in the middle of those high tech systems
2.Una - Hoard Orbital is 2196ls from entry, has some high tech systemsnearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems
3.Santjalan - Cantor Terminal is 451ls from entry, has average numberof high tech systems nearby, is on the edge of those high techsystems
4.Maheou Ti - Yegorov Station is 920ls from entry, has lots of hightech systems nearby, is in the middle of those high tech systems
5.Ochoeng - Roddenberry Gateway is 484ls from entry, has some high techsystems nearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems
6.Bastes - Shepherd Hub is 1601ls from entry, has some high techsystems nearby, is on the edge of those high tech systems.
.
Basedon this, Bast has the shortest entry distance, offers a high supplyof medicines from all directions around it. I highly recommend thatwe focus on Bast. The entry point makes for faster trade routes andthe high supply gives us the best chance of not running out.

AlertAlert! Medical Emergency , All independant pilots.
Recapon last week or so. Situation report as follows.
Recentoutbreaks as follows, outbreaks last week or so spread from bd-024304. Situation has become dependant on success of CG's . Failure ofCG's no bonus. This goes for bounty hunting pirates as well asmedical runs.
Thelack of completion of bd-02 4304 allowed the Cerberus Plague tospread beyond containment. Spreading to Dajoar,Eleu,20 Ophiuchi.Failure to contain the outbreak due to lack of coordination andpirate intervension helped spread the plague and put Independentpilots from contributing as profit could be found elsewhere. This haslead to the outbreak spreading to far worse effect.
CurrentlyDajoar,Eleu and 20 Ophiuchi are in total quarantine. Ships and raregoods.
Assessmentof situation. Virus will overcome humanity due to overwhelming ofsupplies and lack of focus. No rewards and failure.
Unfortunatlymany will have to be sacrificed if there is to be hope. Now we have 6outbreak sytstems and could be overrun quickly if the outbreaks areallowed to triplicate and mutate. Action must be taken, butcoordinated if there is to be success.
Wehave a week to try to find a solution and time is of theupmost.
Ratherthan spliting our resources we are trying to focus on curing onesystem, Maybe with that we could learn how to deal more effectivelywith the other outbreaks, splitting our objectives we split ourchances further against a deadly virus.
Sofar we have few contributors through the 6 systems, with mostconcentrating on curing Bast.
5times the contributors so far to Bast. 20 on average so far over 5 ofthe systems,, i assume like myself signed up to monitor theoutbreak.
Majorityof Cmdrs helping so far 105 now as of present time, focusing on thesystem of 'BAST' for numerous reasons
wehave a week to really throw everything at this. as well as recruitingmore CMDRs to the cause. If we all focus towards one goal, as acommunity.
thereis a chance if we can find a solution and remedy to this plague,which we hope could assist in curing the other systems. Split towardsdifferent goals we lessen our chances of success and reward.
Reasonsfor Bast over other outbreaks.
Shorttrip to delivery at staion 200ls from jump in point. Should piratesdecide to appear,
ias well as other CMDRs have battle ready ships to occupy them anddistract them leaving transports to easily arrive safely. ( pleasepost any pirate activity and i will try to keep them occupied.)
Manynearby systems with high tech systems which can supply the medicinesneeded. All Medicine types are valid Agri-medicines,basicmeds,performance enhancers and progenitor cells. Bring as muchtonnage as you can.
LHS1663 7.52 ly Frobisher City 440 LS from jump in.
platforms..O'Donnel gateway 651 ls Bulychev holdings 1170 ls
BD+7558 8.8 ly Stephenson Station 1725 LS
ALRAI14.04 ly Bounds Hub 1070 LS
Theseare the closest,, many more nearby for those with better jump range,,will take supply management. If you have the range,, grab fromfurther and leave closer ones for the short range Cmdrs.
Ifwe can cure one we can do more, we make this our goal as we can allget rewarded, in fame and money. What we get unknown so far dependingon how we do, but not impossible if we coordinate.
Personallyfinding the reward would be nice,, maybe a % of their sales profitssince they have many rare goods,, we dont want to lose these or traderoutes. but really,,, i'd be happy to save the Universe and get aflashing Blue light,.,, ! honestly,, if i had a flashing blue light,,and maybe didnt have to request docking permission since i was somespecial plague ambulance, it would be worth it.

Ijust finished delivering 1.1K tons to Bast which put me in top 40%. Imeasured the progress bar and noted 3% total progress for 77K tons.That's means 2.5M tons are needed to complete the goal. Ifparticipation is the same as today, then we'll only hit about 21% ofthe goal. Rather discouraging, especially considering the best I wasable to earn was 300cr/ton with Tea and 700cr/ton with ProgenitorCells every 10 min. Since I normally make 4 to 5 times that with thesame ship, this isn't profitable by any stretch.

Ijust checked and the CG is still there. And I must say that everyoneis doing a fantastic job because less than 4 hours ago, the progresswas 5.7% in 17% of the week. Now it is up to 7.9% in 19% of the week(0.42). So, the ratio of (%CompletedTons)/(%CompletedDuration)changed from 0.34 to 0.42. When the ratio hits 1.0 and stays aboveit, that means that we will finish on time.
.
Thisweekend, I should be able to bring in much more. If you're havingtrouble finding profitable trades for both directions, post to thisthread and I'll help find you some profitable trade routes.

Let'shold the line at Bast to stop the spread of the plague. Perhaps FDwill use it in the storyline to save us from the plague.

Ifthis one fails, with the numbers, and numbing work that has beendone, I think a LOT of people are going to give up on the plague CGsaltogether. I know I will definitely send a rather spicy bug reportabout it if this one fails, because the devs really need to get aclue. Someone about a page or so ago said that the grind for this wasso bad that going to work was preferable. FD needs to think aboutthat, because people play games to have fun, not to feel like theyare at work, and if a comment like that wee to get out in to thegeneral gamer community, that this game felt like work, you wouldwatch it die very quickly. And as far as locking ships into plaguestation, that is TOTAL awesome. People have money and time investedin those ships, and to just, without warning, take their property isa bunch of awesome. If I was one of those people, I would bespreading the word far and wide about it. Immersion is one thing,screwing people over is another.

You can't tellpeople how to feel. It's why saying "Calm down" to an irateperson is the worst thing you can do. If someone is angry and wantsto complain the best thing to do is let them, let them get it out oftheir system and they calm down themselves. After tomorrow some ofthese really angry people will have had their say and moved on.

AllI want (and I'm sure all the Saviors of Bast would agree with me onthat) is a huge Galnet headline: "The cure for Cerberus Plagueis finally found!" Meaning that there would be no more "deliver2.5Mtons of meds for almost nothing" CGs. Locked systems getunlocked, plagued systems get cured, and all of us can climb intotheir fighters and go for some BH CG. At least these are quiteprofitable even without huge awards.
