Okay so never again will I bother with such a useless venture lol ... Top 40% bumped from 750K to 1M when it barely hit Tier 4 and there is no way it's hitting T5 before tomorrow. If I keep going the rate I am projecting about 500K losses on selling Slaves to CG station, I'll get 1M as a reward assuming I don't get bumped out overnight. Which means for 4-5 nights of 4-5 hours of running Slaves I'll make.... uuuhhh.... 500K!! wow.

Could have made that in 15 minutes in a lucky RES, an hour in a bad one.

someone on facebook said something along the lines of 'making lots of lovely cash' from this CG but i don't really see how. compare it with Lugh's 850k per load for a 15 minute trip and 5 mil reward at the end, now that was a money maker

Okay, so yea. Logged in today to check what rewards I got and I was right... This was a 100% waste of my time. Here is the breakdown:

- I lost 440K giving them my Imperial Slaves at a loss.
- My "reward" for Top 40% was 1M, and the Global Reward was "success" whatever the fuck that means and it seems to be nothing.
- I spent a total of 10 hours over 5 days hauling Slaves back and forth in my pathetic T6.
- My average RES haul is about 600K an hour (accounting for bad luck I'll average it out)

Math time!

(-440,000 + 1,000,000 = 560,000) / 10 hours = 56,000/h
(600,000 - 25,000(for repairs/reloads) = 575,000) * 10 hours = 5,750,000

What's our lesson? I would have made more than 10x what I did if I would have spent my time sitting in an RES shooting NPCs.

HOORAY FOR COMMUNITY GOALS!!! :x

Never. AGAIN.

Well, it was obvious from the start that this one wouldn't pay much. But there are community goals where you can make lots of money! If I stop today the one I'm in at the moment (at Facece), I will have made 20 millions minimum.
