RagingkrowWhat good are anti-xeno weapons as a reward if Salvation's anti-xeno operation is as successful as promised?
It's probably not gonna be succesfull, because that would be the end of thargoid combat.

If you want an ungankable ship, I can give you some tips.
That’s wonderfully gracious of you Help would be much appreciated.
Most ships in the game can be hardened against gank attempts, increasing your chance of survival to some extent, but if you want a 100% escape chance, there are two ship types that stand out, and both happen to be made by Gutamaya: the Imperial Cutter and the Imperial Courier. Both have excellent shield strength multipliers, i.e. they make the most out of any type of shield generator you equip. You can see this on build planning sites such as EDSY and Coriolis. The shield strength multiplier is a ship-specific hidden stat that cannot be changed; you can only see its effects. For example, if you put a class 3A shield generator into a Viper Mk III, you'll get 178.5 raw shield strength. Put the same generator into a Courier, and you'll get 340, almost twice as much, out of the box! And while the Viper has two slots for shield boosters, the Courier has four. Add some engineering to the mix, and you can easily build a ship you can boost straight into a planet or station without taking any hull damage whatsoever (aka. lithobraking).
The other trait that turns Courier and Cutter into excellent gank evaders is their ability to low-wake out of pretty much any situation. The Cutter can do it because it has one of the highest mass lock factors of all ships in the game. The Courier can do it because it is faster than any other ship that might mass-lock it, and those which do have the speed to keep up with a Courier simply don't have the firepower to wear down its shields before you are gone.
So, if you're interested, I can show you a few example builds. You'll need appropriate Imperial ranks to unlock those ships, and for the best results you'll need grade 5 access to a number of engineers. The Cutter also doesn't come cheap. But be aware, if you walk down that path and build those ships, gankers will hate you, call you funny names and kick you off their discords. Especially if you turn the tables, equip interdictors and start pulling them. They don't like that at all.

Red_Heat When you take part in a community goal, how can you collect your reward? (in my case the pre engineered gauss cannon)
You'll normally want to pick up your rewards from the station that gave out the mission; it will specify so in the completed transactions screen.
However, in this case I reckon it may be you receive a blueprint (that I'm guessing you may not need to pick up in person), that you'll then have to cash in with a Guardian Technology Broker. Use Inara's "Nearest" tab to locate one closest to you.
By the way, maybe others will want to confirm but I got the impression if you don't pick up your (cash) rewards in time, they'll be automatically allotted to you when the mission message expires. In other words, you don't have to go out and collect them.

Yeah that's one reason why I don't think that's quite what will happen. Amid ongoing speculation, I reckon predictions that this is all a prelude to having on-foot Thargoids in Odyssey may be a good bet.

I find myself suddenly being invited out by The Dweller and Selene Jean almost right after CG ended, and I cant think of any other way I got them, I sure as hell did not get the 500 mining units done because I had not had a chance to even start
Only thing I can think is there was some kind of secret rewards for folks

MiseriAnyone else who took place in the Red Family take down CG get any secondary rewards
I was in the 75%, and I haven't (well, the Dweller I already have access to). Hmm. No idea.

Aetoate BaceAny fleet carriers near Sag A or soon to be that I can hitchhike on? Don't care about the destination.
You should try the FC owners club discord.
