RopeLordIf this is the wrong place to ask I'll delete this post but I haven't been able to find any similar questions. I turned in the community goal for Salvation in Odyssey, got no mission reward screen - looks like credits were deposited into my account but I didn't get the shard cannon. I was in 25th percentile so that should have been enough. Is it a voucher or something I can't see?
Item rewards are usually delivered later and they are announced with a galnet article. That would be around 16:00 galactic time on Friday.

Aha! Thanks CMDR, this is my first time doing a community goal with this type of reward so I was a little confused.

Kenji_088So how is it?
Hot and toasty or flaming garbage?
Hard to know without testing it out, but a few statistics are (mostly) very encouraging:
Gauss cannon damage/s = 46.4
Engineered shard cannon damage/s = 74.5
Gauss cannon armor penetration = 140
Engineered shard cannon armor penetration = 91
Gauss cannon range = 3000m
Engineered shard cannon range = 8500m

What is the projectile speed?
... Actually, my FC just arrived in PMD2009 48

EpisparhRange 8.5km. Wait, what?
What is the projectile speed?
... Actually, my FC just arrived in PMD2009 48
Projectile speed = 6296 m/s
Jitter = 1.50 degrees

Thanatos au Grimmus
Projectile speed = 6296 m/s
Jitter = 1.50 degrees
That weapon may have some use if we get more of it. I think guardian shards are effective vs human tech as well.
I will check it tonight.

Dredger Clan Arrives at Kumo City
*Pilots Federation ALERT*
A Blue Viper Club dredger has entered the Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 system, and may have links with the Kumo Crew syndicate.
The Dredger-class bulk cruiser has taken position near Kumo City, one of five starports recently constructed by pirate warlord Archon Delaine.
Dredger Clans are nomadic communities that travel on the fringes of civilisation, and their ancient vessels are rarely seen. Pilots in Pegasi Sector PN-T C3-14 have been warned to keep a safe distance from the dredger.
Francesca Wolfe of the Wallglass Investigations Agency published her observations:
“The Blue Viper Club is a fiercely independent tribe with an unsavoury reputation. Dredger Clans typically survive by gathering materials and salvage, but these people indulge in more criminal behaviour including drug running and raiding outposts.”
“The clan occupies more than one dredger, but these have never entered an inhabited system before now. There has been no conflict with local factions or system security. However, unmarked personnel shuttles have been witnessed travelling to and from the dredger.”
“Are we looking at a piratical alliance between the Blue Viper Club and the Kumo Crew? Is Archon Delaine expanding his reach to the Dredger Clans? Or have they brought him something of value that they discovered in deep space?”
And so another story-arc emerges...
Being a child of the 80s though "Blue Viper Club" does not sound very threatening to me.

With that projectile velocity and jitter it is basically a hitscan weapon in close ranges and very reliable on shots in 4-6km range.
I want MOAR!

EpisparhOMG, that engineered guardian shard canon is hilarious. I tried it in my imperial eagle(it is not the best ship to handle hot weapons)

Nice, do you think it will be useful against both Thargoid and non-Thargoid ships?
