I managed to squeeze in an hour late last night. Had a look around at my options. Took a look at Procyon and good gawd the fleet carriers there. I ended up going to Luyten's Star, scanned for HGEs (I have a full bin or Proto Light Alloys and that's no good. Need to hit a trader) and then hit a RES. Turned in 3m to stand at 23m. Minimum for 75% is around 3m, so I'm going to be fine. According to Inara, 11k have signed up for this one, still well short of the number for the CZ CG a couple weeks ago. Three days left. I'll try to stay in the 50% for the cash money.

HA, most of the time nothing!

The Electronic Countermeasure (ECM) is a utility module used to defend against hostile munitions with tracking capabilities including seeker missiles, torpedoes, and Hatch Breaker limpets.

I put it due to the fact that when my shield go down they start tossing missiles and torps at me. Though I must admit, I'm not sure its worth taking up space on my ship!

I have it bound to the same Fire Group with my Chaff, so when I use chaff it enables also, second trigger!

Thanks Wingnuts, I'm not done yet..LOL It's also cool that others have got into the top 25 and have definitely helped me. I made it into the top 5% just before I got into the group, but you guys have made it so I won't fall. Can't thank you all enough!!

With about 16 hours remaining, the threshold minimums stand thusly


50% = 16m (I'm safe on 30m)
25%= 50m
10% = 102m

They will rise a touch today, but not all that much I believe.I hope we hit tier 7 before it's over.

This has been a great CG, and I'm quite impressed with the vigor with which my fellow SimHQ commanders attacked this one. I hope you heavy hitters will keep at it today to get tier 7 over the line. Don't let up now!

I liked how many options there were to get the bounties. RES, CNB, pirate threat, defend missions and more. I hope to see more like this in the near future.

I'll be grinding until it's over, unless I get drunk!! LOL

Just had a weird situation. Dropped into the Pirate area threat 5, there was a wanted T10 Defender in there in a 2 ship, don't know what his wingy was flying, there was also a Conda, so I went after the Conda, once I attacked it, something else started firing on me. Once I killed the Conda, whatever else was attacking me stopped?

Could this be a case of the Conda having a fighter? If so, given the fact that the T10 was there, and I haven't seen any T10's all week long, that ED has upped the ante??

Hope to see some of you in today, I'm edging up to 250Mil. Don't think we'll make tier 7, but I'll be at it all day long!!

Cheers

I really love my new Krait MK II. The hardpoint placement is superb.

Go get 'em Ram. Tier 7 or bust! Make me some money!

I can't argue with your assessment Blastman, as a Krait devotee myself. Check/post in the Krait II, or Three thread, and all of my Kraits can be seen in the My Builds thread if you are interested. For me, the Krait II is Elite's best ship. Like a Python with the bad bits removed smile

How many kills and how many hours have you had to put in to get that 250 mil so far?

I started flying the CG 2 hrs after it started. Every day about 8-12 hrs, kills I haven't a clue! But it's been a ton for sure. Most are Deadly, for me to make an estimate, it would only pertain to Elite ships. I went from a Deadly Combat rating of 69% to currently 84%, so if I had to guess, over a 1000?? I'll let DBond do the math!!! HAHA

Most of the time I was flying on my own, but a bunch of guys here, Bo, Recluse, Neph, DBond, Wingnuts(hope I didn't forget anyone?) have all helped out a crap load in the private session. Most of them are in the top 25% and I think a couple are in the top 5% also!

'Cept me of course, top 50%, but that was a choice. I could have kept going. The need to keep rotating activities outweighs credits and gold Viper skins lol.

It would be difficult for me to calculate how many kills Ram has contributed to this CG. However, you did tell us how many bounties you had for the career when we were with Wingnuts a few days ago. If you can recall that number we can take a pretty accurate guesstimate of how many you have gotten for the CG based on how many either the Codex or Inara says you have now..

I have found I advance one point of combat rank @ Deadly for every 30 NPC kills on average. But there is much more to it, including NPC target combat rank, whether you are in a wing, and if anyone has minions involved.

Y'all must have thumbs of steel. My right thumb has been messed up for a couple of months, so I can only sustain an hour of combat before it is hurting to move--I need this thumb to work the hats on my HOTAS.

Build yourself a turret boat! biggrin

Let them do the work for you.

Get a big ship, put a fighter in it and turrets all over it and sit back and relax.

I use an XBOX controller. But I did slip and fall in the mud last last month and tore tendons in my left wrist, may have even fractured it. So yeah, that's killing me too!

Codex has me at 4788 bounties claimed. I need to update Inara!

EDIT: Also, 1796 Combat bonds, 978 Assassinations(the majority of Assassinations were Pirates, a few deserter and politicians, but I quit doing the two latter as they were not beneficial to my cause).

Right, and we'd need to know how many you had at the start. You told us, but I don't recall the number. However if you've done it all in pirate threats, I'd guess the number for the CG is somewhere around 250? Seemed I was getting about one mil per pop in the PTA 5s.

To get Inara to be current, I need to do two things. First, either relog, land at a different dock, or switch ships. This updates the Codex.

Then use the import Frontier data thing on Inara. It doesn't work every time, there is a delay now and then. But I usually do this when ready to shut down so that when I look at Inara it is as current as possible. I also have EDMC running, but it doesn't pull everything I need right away.

That's great, but I expected a bigger jump. Tier 7 is just another 8m for me, but I won't refuse it.

Good work gentlemen.
