Well, i don't played since 3 days and i'm still in top 5% With only 583T. The CG was at 102.737T atm Tier 0 ... So maybe the progression bug, or the 1st Tier is incredibly high, OR there's not enough players on it ( if this is the case it dosen't smell good at all ...)

Still bugged & hasn't reachd the first tier as of 2 hours ago.
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Just glad it got retooled ... was worried we wouldn't even make the first tier for a while.
Finaly !
now let's hope that the CG advance further ... But yeah the cash reward are poor, i mean if you compare to this one https://forums.frontier.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=90949 ! ^^

I tend not to do CGs but been doing the ANtares one, am top 5%.
With this Antares CG though I don't think this is just a standalone CG, it's going to be part of an unfolding story and I'm pretty sure it will segway into Federation president Halsey's mysterious disappearance.
Point being, aye there's not many credits on offer with this CG but doing this CG - it's not about the money.

I agree, but you necessarily need a minimum of players for a successful CG (although I also think it makes party of a "story" or something bigger). A good way to lure players it's actualy with cash prize ... I think a lot of players continues to participate in CG for Cr. I mean, i know people like you, me ... US, participate in the CG only because "ANTARES" is the title so we don't need more ^^ but money remains the first motivation for a lot of players (i think).
Imagine a CG-failed because the reward is not high enough, It would be a shame ...
Totaly agree ! Has i(we) said before: "Find The Antares, Find the truth !"
Anyway, i'm top 5% too with somthing like 800T. I need a break !

Ya am hoping this leads us to more answers / story/ puzzle content ... Don't do alot of CG - when I do its usually just a few runs because they are so "fun" but have been trying with this one .... Keeping fingers crossed
Agreed. I've taken 256t for story reasons but to get wider participation cash would help, as would a less boring grind.
Hopefully we'll collect enough salvage to progress the story and learn something interesting about Antares.
CG bugged again?
I cant sell my wreckage. Or am I noob?
Ok nvrmnd.. blackmarket is back up.
Also, i think this CG doesn't matter, since Galnet reports that the Sirius Corp. has begun analyzing the wreckage. To me, it seems that the CG outcome was just going through the motions.

Hmmm, I'm a little surprised this hasn't been mentioned here, unless I'm missing something obvious (I have been known to be a little dense )
It seems that during the search for SS1 CG way back in May of 3301, there was a missed oppurtunity. I don't think the story advancement required reaching top tier necessarily.
To me this indicates there was a stop along the route from Azaleach to Saga that wasn't actually a star system, just a void. Maybe only targettable when you have a UA, maybe only with that route plotted from the galaxy map, maybe something else entirely. But it does seem to correlate 100% to the description of the President's Guardian Wing.
Given that the Guardians already searched the area when the mis-jump occured this may have been a fool's errand anyway, but it intrigues me. Plus when you think about it, in the moment, they wouldn't necessarily have assumed SS1's destruction and continued to look far beyond their initial circumstances. They would likely decide since the cruiser isn't here, and we have no indications of anything here, with time being a big factor we should move on. See if they made it to the next system.
Also of note, the Galnet article that introduced the CG (link) was the one that published the Guardian Wing's eyewitness testimony. Can't be a coincidence!
My guess is there was something in that void which may have taken a little more time to find. It was an exploration data selling CG too. I'm sure the Story Masters have the ability to flag if a particular item gets scanned, or the data gets sold.
The text of the CG itself lends itself to more clues. From the CG thread #1, search "Hunt for Halsey"
Unfortunately it sounds like this "XX system" void has disappeared (link) as of late August, so the question is moot now. Soon as we find some evidence of the Antares, I think we have a good direction to start in regarding SS1.
Too bad the static Ecco heard wasn't a bigger thing. That could've spurred the Canonn and others in the UA thread to investigate the region.

"XX system" ?? 75 light years from Azaleach? Sounds just like what Ecco described in the quote above.

Well, Antares found ... !
"My hope is that by subjecting the wreckage to further analysis, we will be able to determine exactly what caused the malfunction and apply this knowledge to the development of new safety protocols. With luck, we will be able to reintroduce the innovative drive technology used aboard the Antares ..." That's interesting !

Hmm, just re-read the CG one more time and realized that Sirius corp could be doing a little more misdirection. That 200 ly search radius from Azaleach seems awfully strange considering the last contact was from 75 ly AWAY from Azaleach, if my interpretation is correct.
More to discover have we...
Oops! almost forgot

I'm not quite sure what to think of this. Sirius are probably hedging their bets with this whole wreckage analysis. The CG in the first place was theirs and they are partly implicated in the cover up of both ships' disappearance.

Unfortunately the writer forgot to include the most important piece of information - WHERE WAS THE ANTARES FOUND? All we know is it was in one (or more) of the systems searched, adding nothing to our understanding of this mystery.
Where indeed. 50 years of drifting through space, it's possible that the wreckage was in multiple systems. However I agree more details are needed, including which system(s) the Antares ended up.

Or you could think about the context that that we are hearing about it from. This is one more official channel saying: "open and shut case." I think it's time we start doing our own investigative work. Leads anybody?

Yep ! you're right.
Another thing also concerns me ... Did you remember Nigel Smeaton ? The Federal Vice-president who died of an "accident" and investigating the Antares?
He supposed to have found the Antares before his death ! And he put his investigation on data (some kind of USB probably) the device was encrypted and was given to sirius corp. after his death.
https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55f7e3849657ba4271cf6eb0
I wonder what he was actually on the USB key.
Because-for the moment Sirius Corp has just told us to go pick up the wrecks and then say stupidly: "Congratulations to your grace we found it, see ya' "
As if, finally information from Smeaton had been for nothing.

I think our only leads are the systems we searched recently. We know the wreckage was found in one or more of them so it's a start. I still have the mission active (too far to go to cash in for a whole 50k) so I'll post the list later.

Well remembered. Maybe they used Smeaton's data to determine the search systems or maybe they (devs) forgot about it? The lack of detail in yesterday's article begs the question "where can we find a real journalist in 3302?" because whoever wrote that article did not ask questions.
That's exactly what i'm thinking !
Well, the last Federation journalist who asked questions ended up with a dead lover and topped herself, apparently.
