COMPLETED CG Utopia Request for Vital Commodities

[aRJay]

AS usual I didn't think to look at Galnet.
But I thought that when I checked the CG section of the mission board and saw only the haulage CG was still there for me to complete and the data CG was no longer present it was a pretty good indication I was getting nothing other than some credits.

This CG I was at 75% data CG was 50% so no paint job for me.

But both Galnet posts should have been present.

Your system would, ofc, have deprived us of such a close ending.

What do you mean? Please explain.

One of the many flaws you apparently missed in your 25 minutes of 'thinking'

Hardy har har.

Very impressed at the community push to get us over the Tier 1 level for the commodities CG last night. Nicely done all! o7 Got interdicted a few times but the pirates barely scratched the paint on my armored cutter.

I might humbly suggest that Mats CGs on the other hand might need a rethink, maybe adding monetary rewards for mats submissions next time to encourage participation, as someone else mentioned?

 

[Faiza]

Well, I've delivered 10,000t and I'm out for the night. Hope we get to T1 at least.
I also chucked in all the encoded materials I have, which was obviously a waste.

Yeah...we didnt even get paid for those materials. THAT was a waste of time.

I at least got a a few mil for the cargo

 

[LiveWeyer]

So uh....did the CG succeed, or did it fail?

It’s like the cat. You don’t know until you open the box…

… but in-game GalNet adamantly claims it was a total failure even though it wasn’t.

 

[LiveWeyer]

So, the CG achieved Tier 1, but failed to reach Tier 1?

Apparently. You get the rewards for the commodity deliveries but for all intents and purposes it appears to have been completely ignored for the lore side of things.

What Frontier could stop ignoring is that the data delivery CG was extremely poorly designed both in terms of the requirements and what was asked for to fulfill those requirements, even at the most basic level.

Antal/Utopia are also minor Powerplay factions comparatively. So lower numbers would be expected without large non-lore caring player incentives.

I think the confusion is both succeeded and failed GalNet's went up, even though one of the CG's did succeed. A partial success with a Utopia vs Sirius follow up CG would seem more appropriate.

This reminds me of the Azimuth CG where they failed, but the GalNet claimed they still succeeded and said they built an AX capital ship (Eternal Vigilance) that never appeared in-game.

I remember that one, the Wandrama establishment campaign. It was also more nuanced in that I believe they were going to do both the megaship and ground facilities but due to losing the combat CG only the megaship was built.

(Of course, that didn’t prevent them from “acquiring” some of the system’s sites later on and generally causing a ruckus, but, that was separate from the CG …)

Can’t say the same for this. Somehow doubt there will be much from Frontier on the subject, either.

Yes, they claimed "expensive success" even though the competing CG matches their Tier progression (Both got to Tier 3).

Azimuth Claim Expensive Success - Elite Dangerous

The recent Azimuth Biotech initiative to expand its operation assets has been described as a ‘partial success’. A primary goal of obtaining sufficient...

And the Megaship never showed up in game, so Azimuth probably just took the money and ran.

Either way, disappointing that this CG got to Tier 1 and is still showing as failed. It is a demotivator for sure.

 

[Kira Goto]

Indeed. Makes the effort put in to push the cargo deliveries over the line seem pointless.

And the Megaship never showed up in game, so Azimuth probably just took the money and ran.

I’m sure they’re not hiding a highly advanced Guardian processor on it. Not at all.

I was trying a T8 and also got a few interdictions which required less time to evade than I would have spent submitting and cooling down before I could FSD again.

 

[Codename]

Yeh i can see why this was practically a failure.. Timing was bad, rewards was once again PvP oriented instead of an actual community goal with competative nature..
Starting to call them Competative Goals from now on, its an absurd model.

According to my left panel, I am in the top 25%.
However, I still don't have the Paint Job in the Livery.
How can I get it please?

Hand in (complete) the CG at the station in Polevnic, then it should appear.

I am currently busy with the Titan Thor and I don't want to go back to Polevnic.
What happens if I don't hand in the CG?
Will I get the Paint Job?

if you don't hand in a CG manually it will automatically be handed in for you a couple of weeks later. Doing it yourself just speeds things up.

I think it just auto-completes after a certain amount of time, a few weeks maybe. But Thor will go down by tomorrow, probably.
