Episparh I didn't knew grade 1 encoded are so precious....


When you need them and don't have any... you sing a different tune

Episparh And I bet someone forgot to add the reward paragraph when copy/pasta.

They did not. In game text has no reward either.

Episparh Since Marco Qwent is in Sirius... How about 5A PP double engineered g5 armored + low emissions

Works for me

Like I posted before - give me an incentive to participate. Credits, a special module - something!

Otherwise, afaik, it's merely a passing footnote, another trivial bit of news.

I am not giving up matts with not even a hint of what the reward might be....

Has this happened to anyone else?

Yeah I'm not participating. This CG is pointless to me. They can have their galactic summit in my sidewinder toilet for all I care. Just stay away from my other ships

Rankings?

Is that like Twitter followers?

I’ve never seen the need for either

Yes, it's an intended change. Please see the update notes.

How is it possible that people have already turned in 11000 units of scan data?? You can only store 1000-1200 units at a time. I don't see how it's possible to collect enough data to have made multiple trips in less than a day's time.

Do you know what is the transfer rate of g5 to g1 and g4 to g1?
Multiply by 100 for g5 and by 150 for g4 rates.

Yeah they're dumping all the relevant T1s (so that's like 1200), then they go to the trader and trade down higher level mats and do it again. Repeat until broke.

I do not envy the week of mat farming they'll be doing after this is over.

I've dumped a fraction of my hold - 3k and I am in top 25%. But I will hold it for now. Even without cross trade I have like 10+k more and I really needed to reduce my g2-g4 as most of them were maxed.

... Not if I will need to engineer anything soon... And IMHO, you better throw that mats to CG than on engineering Type-10

Makes sense.  I guess I've never considered trading down, even after 1500+ hours. LOL!  I've only ever traded up to get the last couple G5s to finish engineering.  Once I really got into engineering and mat collecting, I never really had a shortage of 1-4 mats.

Some of my G5s are too low to give away but I could spare some of a couple types and a few more G4s.

Well to each their own, but I intend to engineer a T10 eventually, even if it's just for the memes.

As for the CG I'll donate the bare minimum needed to keep me in the 75% just incase FDev decides to surprise us with some retroactive bonus... again.
