How do you find community events?

Postby Manny72 » Tue Mar 24, 2015 1:17 am

How do you find community events in game, where everyone is working toward a goal and getting good pays?
I always show my face... I'm old and I got over it. :D

i'm happy to take the money and do something slightly different to my normal gameplay.

i'm not really sure about the 'objectives' side of things; i'm only one guy in a small ship so i'm not going to influence things much... and i'm a dirty mercenary, i'll play both sides of the fence - one day Fed, next day CSG. i'm not a fighter for the 'cause.'

Well, I may be in the wrong also. :)

Let's wait and see. What's the wager?

The Frontier forums has a pinned thread of active community goals here: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=113495

Aside from that, I have no idea. Short of visiting every station and checking the BB to see if there's a goal to do there or not. Sometimes the galnet feeds can sorta hint at where to find them, too.

Added the known ones to our forums: viewforum.php?f=37

I think if someone is able to come across one that they should either post it or send me a screenshot and I can make a thread for it.
