Trade CG in LFT 133 is over too. On my way to cash in, and get rid of a hold of gold.

That was fast.
Got to top 25% for trade and bounty hunting CG yesterday. Don't know if I'm still at the TOP 25% today. Lol...
Think a lot of CMDRs were hoping that this CG would also have a huge payout like the last one. Especially those who missed out on the last one. I was one of them hoping for a good payout. But I knew this CG was not as big as the last one.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Only started the cargo and bounty CG's yesterday and managed to get 25% in both so approx 50 million in rewards for 2880 tons of gold delivered and 4.5 million in bounties handed in. Not bad for a couple of hours work :)

The GNE started Saturday and I'm one of the about 300 cmdrs that will arrive at Sagittarius A by the end of November. Three months to go, possibly another three to return. Hopefully I learnt something from CNE and I'll avoid damaging the conda this time.

I only put in 1.8 mil (1 and a half trips to the res) worth in bounty at the BH CG but still got top 25% and 20 mil payout.

The clue with cg's at least for me is to put in just enough effort to get OK rating but not so much I don't feel overpaid at the end hehe.

Now what am I going to do with this Fer-de-lance I bought last night...

On my way back there to pay the fine and will be available to wing up after dinner.... 30 mins or so... Let the Vettes wreck havoc :)

I am at 2.7 Mil and I am at top 25% strange...


Sorry I missed an opportunity to wing up with you, Pargy. :( I worked the RES for a couple of hours on Thursday/Friday, then got the exploration itch. I grabbed my Asp and am now about 15k ly from Sol. :shock:

Oddly enough though, I am still in the top 25% in the CG. :evil:

I have 320 cargo and 140 of that is Engineer stuff!
I am going to see Farseer for one last time in the Conda then it's dumping time...


I will usually have two recipes that I am working on at the time. I'll dump any engineers cargo that I don't need for one of those upgrades. If the cargo items can be purchased (most of them can), I'll just dump or sell it ASAP to avoid the endless chain of Elite FDL/conda interdictions and buy the cargo item when I have everything else gathered up for the recipe. My frustration level is MUCH lower that way.


Is there a list of purchase places?

you betcha ;)

EDDB is great for commodities and engineer cargo (they use the same screen) here.

I also use EDDB to help me find engineer materials. I just type in the material on the top left box, and my current system in the 'reference system' box in the bottom right, and leave the others blank. The results are not 100% accurate though. Be sure to check the planet's material's list on the system map before landing and jumping into your SRV. Sometimes I've found the desired material on a different planet in the same system. Also, check the percentage. I'd rather travel a bit further to search on a planet with 1.2% of whatever I need than a planet that's close by but with only 0.7%.

I use Inarato access all kinds of engineer information and track my cargo, so that I know what mods I can do or what specific items (and quantity) I need before accessing that mod.

Hope that helps.

Found this last night:

Dropped in and it was Empty. I was hoping it was a Weeding Barge that I could "Pay My Respects" with a "Multi Gun Salute" and some "Fireworks" but I was disappointed. Nothing there even after 5 minutes.

Anyone know what it is supposed to be?
