But gold for pirates, yo!
(Well, one's for engineering mats, but still...)
And you can always hop out of The Mob and go hunt wanted CMDRs at the trade CGs.

I'll feel sorry for you right after you wait 14 months for a CG like we explorers have.

Aw, dammit, the other one is for Guardian stuff.
Well, maybe I'll go visit the guardians instead.

Can you not moan in that forum?
Im waiting here for a steam stats thread or a buff this nerf that thread.
CGs are not something to be expected. There's been a combat one every week for the past many many months. I think you'll survive just one without.
It's not like you are blocked from doing combat so um, have at it
You could try storing Fed/Emp bounties as they should count for next weeks CG if you can hand them in at the station. Risk is if you die you'll loose them and if you get the wrong faction you won't be able to hand them in at next weeks CG station.

Looks like a bug, or at least a configuration snafu or bad choice of location. There's no science contact on the station interface, so no way to deliver the materials.
It's been reported apparently.
Hah, I'd forgotten that exploration CG's were even a thing in Elite!!!!
Sadly, so has Frontier....
They were not well implemented. All other CGs work on what you achieve during the week of the CG. OK, maybe materials CG, but they are pretty pathetic as well.
I mean, I guess with Colonia being founded and the Thargoids being here, there's nothing for the galactic community to go way out and scan for.
Kinda makes me wish finding Jacques was some kind of scavenger hunt community event with some kind of reward at the end.
It was supposed to be but we kind of got lucky with one guy managing to stumble onto the station by pure luck.
The last one was for the Formidine Rift thing to discover the Exodus/Dynasty bases.
I agree that Exploration CGs aren't well implemented - they should at least require you to go to a specific area, not just hand in data from anywhere in the galaxy - but the bounty hunting and trade mechanisms are not hugely complex either. Plus, as you say, there have been materials/data CGs so it's not as if FDev could reasonably claim to have ditched Exploration because it isn't constrained by the CG week.
If FDev don't thing Exploration CGs work, then they should fix the mechanics of them, not just ditch them without comment.
Figures... I mean I know it wasn't intentional but there's always "that guy" that ruins these non-CG events. Sometimes even by accident, apparently...
Last time there was an exploration CG, and i was actually on an exploration trip, I was 20,000ly from the CG station, and the CG ended about 2 weeks before I made it back.
Wasn't there that really broken CG a while back? It earned you 100s of millions and ended in hours or something.
I missed that one too. I miss all the good ones. Lol

And some weeks there are two combat CGs.... Last week there was a mining not trading CG... this week it is Materials and Salvage... Variety is good isn't it?
Hybrid Capacitors and Phase Alloys can be obtained from Combat ships, so seek out wars, earn bonds and collect the materials, and there is your combat contribution to the CG

Wait..... you mean... OP can literally go bounty hunting to fulfill the CG?
I think they are being lazy.
Getting exploration CGs needn't be all that complex. All that needs to happen is only data that was collected after signing up for the CG counts.
Also it shouldn't be too hard to constrain the accepted data to within a set of coordinates. Define a x,y,z box, within a radius of a star, within a nebula, or stars with defined sector names.
This could do with some more discussion when the focused feedback for the exploration changes.
Conflict Zones for the Hybrid Capacitors, Phase Alloys probably Bounty and Conflict Zones
