Frontier is allowing our group (the Mercs of Mikunn) to test out a new type of CG, called a Local Community Goal. A local community goal is a CG that is only displayed on the local galnet and doesnt appear on the galaxy wide galnet. It is up to players to organize others to jump on board. I suspect these will be used for smaller events - not everything is galactic news worthy.
In our scenario, our group The Mercs of Mikunn have adopted the faction The Dukes of Mikunn. Due to a multitude of bugs that have kept our faction from expanding, we have been unable to capture a station, and our system has expanded into empty space resulting in nothing several times. This probably largely contributed to the reason the developers chose our group.
The Local Community goal currently running out of Herreschoff Gateway in Kwatee, asks that the Dukes provide building materials (any and all metals) for a new station that will be used to colonize a new system. This will be the first colonization attempt by a player backed faction! Come and participate! We have already grabbed all the material we need to build the station, and are now working on upgrading it. Many more tiers to go! (And I'm interested in seeing what the rewards are)
In order to determine what is possible for different sized groups I separated our test into three phases.
First phase: Attempt to do the goal as a small group (First 24 36 hours)
Second phase: Continue as a small group who has called allies (Another 24 -36 hours)
Third phase: Continue goal as a small group with allies that has managed to mobilize part of reddit and those on frontiers forums.
The tonnage moved will be measured over each time frame and used to extrapolate where that group size would be if it had the whole week. This way people will know what is possible for different sized groups. We are currently on the third phase. Show them what you can do reddit!
So come and see how this new version of community goal works! (And be part of our little experiment!)
System: Kwatee
Station: Herreschoff Gateway
Transport: All Metals
The Mercs of Mikunn are a bug testing group organized to test the background simulator and colonization. Our goal is to improve the game for everyone, even if only in a small way. If you are interested in bugtesting the background simulator and colonization, come and join us here!
