Why YOU should care about the Onionhead CG
- Thread starter Ziljan
- Start date
Thanks to the CMNDR who donated me 20T of onionhead outside harvestport earlier by dipping in and out of the station. Also for future rares cg's organsing multiple cmndrs to shuttle goods to a waiting freighter would be a good way of maximising volume collected, roles could be rotated to ensure everyone got a cut. Bit late for this one maybe.

Did some trial runs from Kappa Fornacis /Harvestport, to Xelabara /Navigator Market, & then back again to Kappa Fornacis /Harvestport:
Teamwork gathering Onion Head adventure with CMDR Count von Weiss:
HIP 8396 /Stepping Stone Base [HIGHLIGHT]NO Large Pad[/HIGHLIGHT] "IMPROVE THE ECONOMY OF HIP 8396" (Mining) CG COMPLETED.
I did open a Bug Report as the Bulletin Board had dissapeared, making so that no new players could participate in that CG. Apparrentley the BB was reopend long enough for a some CMDRs to return & turn in that Mining CG to collect their CG rewards, however the BB was then removed from Stepping Stone Base...this made it hard for CMDRs who want their CG reward immediately.

Then CMDR Count von Weiss sent out a message saying he would be up for team Onion Head gathering for the CG on the forum, so after messaging eachother we met at Kappa Fornacis /Harvestport. He was using a Imperial Clipper with a 72t cargo capacity & a 16LY or so jump range ladened. I had my other ASP loaded up with a 80t cargo capacity & a jump range of 24LY laden.
To avoid fines by the station for dumping cargo we moved to 14Ls away from the station (12Ls away from the station was exiting the No Fire Zone...but I wanted a buffer lol )...although later we forgot & I got a 250cr fine for dumping 9Ls away from the station.
Also when doing we made a mistake in that when he Jetisoned the Onion Head for me to pick up 4t were actually ABANDONED ...so I had Stolen cargo in my hold....probably could have fixed with me dump them, he pick them up, & then JETSON those 4 cargo container again....but didn't try that lol.
Further mmore we both needed to buy collector limpet controllers as we did not have those outfited on our ships, 1A & 1D Collector Limpet Controllers were just 4LY away from Kappa Fornacis at Artemis /Laphrian (may have changed since yesterday).
We started out in working together to load my ASP in my private group on ED....that worked until around 31t or so of Onion Head in my cargo bay & then I started noticing that I could not pickup the last 3 Onion Heads he droped off for me on a couple of trips.
So we fiddled around & managed to get the last 8t in my cargo hold. Then took a trip from Kappa Fornacis back to Xelabara system to turn in the 80t of Onion Head, since we were winged up he recieved 65k cr trade dividend from my 1.2 mil cr profit of 80t of Onion Head & I recived a 6k cr prfit from his 8t or so Onion Head that he sold.
So we then went back to Kappa Fornacis to load up his Imperial Clipper ...ran into some more issues where is limpet drone was not responding anymore...cycling power to the limpet controller had no effect & launching new drones resulted in inresponsive drones.....so we deciced to re load the game...after some backing out, reloging, (I updated my
Video carde with a new driver that came out 5 days ago & installed 1 Windows Update...just incase), applying & then joining Mobius goup, we managed to get back going again...but started to see duplicate cargo canisters in space....although his cargo hold kept increasing with each trip of Onion Head I brought him...so we decided to keep going.
We wraped that up & then I went back to the station to pickup 8t more of Onion Head form myself. then we went back to Xelabara to turn in the 80t of Onion Head, since we were winged up I recieved 60k cr trade dividend from his 1.2 mil cr profit of 72t of Onion Head & he recived a 6k cr profit from my 8t or so Onion Head that I sold there.
2346 23NOV3301 GMT thru 0426 24NOV3301 GMT 80t load ASP 1.2 mil credit for 1 ASP CMDR (4hr 40min) 65k cr trade dividend for Clipper CMDR [this run took longer as we had issues to sort out in the middle of it]
0530 24NOV3301 GMT thru 0846 24NOV3301 GMT 72t load Clipper 1.2mil credit for 1 CMDR Imperial Clipper (3hr 16in) 60k cr trade dividend for ASP CMDR
...all in all a fun time
Asp Explorere build I was using:
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70g,0...4yH4yH,2-7_8S7_6u6Q8S8I,0AA7Sk05U05U4zM5PU2UI
I figured out how to make videos with my nvidia gforce Shadow Play program & edit those videos with Windows Movie Maker, so posted our Onion Head adventures on YouTube...(CMDR Count von Weiss gave his permission for those who are concerned about that kind of stuff).
I realize I made mistakes in my first video...not just quality way to make the video but my horrible fly skills.
I was so excited with this "videoing" & group Onion Head teamwork, that I forgot to request permision to dock, clipped an NPC player, missed the back of the station wall, then when coming back in (with docking permission) I slammed into the back of the station (trying to smuggle in my "Stolen" Onion Head cargo...[HIGHLIGHT]remember JESTSON not ABANDON your cargo to another CMDR[/HIGHLIGHT]....makes a difference lol).
On the plus side I missed the back of the station wall on my first attempt, didn't get scaned /fined, exited the station with 20sec or left before being shotdown by the station, & didn't lose our hard earned 80t of Onion Head
Here is the link to my Youtube channel to watch the 4 videos if your up for a good laugh & don't mind two guys just blabbing while gathering Onion Head goods
Used Nvida Shadow Play to film & Windows Movie Maker to edit /upload to Youtube.

Well definitely had some more fun & excitement running more Onion Head for the Xelbara CG.
CMDR Count von Wiess & I were loading each other's cargo holds up & then CMDR Noobdelux joined us in Mobius for a bit. Thank you CMDR Noobdelux & CMDR Count von Wiess
This last run we took 2H 16M ...so getting much better at it lol.
Due to some interesting navigating with the Galaxy Map & being in a hurry (yea RL impacting ED lol), I got to use fuel limpets on a Clipper CMDR lol
We got more fuel & then got back to Xelabara to turn in out Onion Heads
Google link with some pics of our adventure lol:

That is the allowance that the station you're delivering to will allow AFTER the CG has completed.
Ah, gotcha. Thanks.
On my last run now and then I have to call it a night. By the time I log back in tomorrow it'll all be over.
176T delivered (22 runs, 8T each run).
Amazed I got into the top 5% after only 48T.
