ENDED - The Art of War

[Colin The Grey]

Description:
Over the years Senator Patreus has amassed an impressive collection of private military industrial companies and corporations. As a result the Senator's interests are spread across the length and breadth of the Empire, positioning Patreus as one of the premier suppliers of Imperial Armaments in the entire galaxy.

Traditionally Eotienses has been left untouched by the Senator's business, but now the time has finally come for an upgrade. Senator Patreus has pledged to spend billions of credits in rejuvenating Eotienses's economy over the next month, with the ultimate aim being to turn Eotienses in to a high tech hub that will be the envy of the entire Empire.

In order to help facilitate the rejuvenation effort, Senator Patreus has placed a series of order which require several millions units of Industrial Materials be brought to his agents on Parkinson Dock. All citizens that take part in the rejuvenation programme will be well rewarded for their efforts.

My guess is that - since there are so few people joining now as new contributors, and there's a significant tonnage outstanding - this will expire on time rather than achievement. On the other hand, a wingman of mine, new to this Community Goal today, flew his Python on exactly the same route I'm taking and reached the top 5%.

[Senex VII]

With just 18 hours to go:

Current Contributors: 2,160
Current Global Progress: 6,988,105 Tonnes Collected
Current Reward Tier: Tier 4 (of 5) - about a half of the way between 4 and 5.
Rewards as previous post.

[Senex VII]

This Community Goal is over, by expiration. In the end 2,267 pilots contributed 8,275,916 tonnes, but the highest tier 5 was not reached. Nevertheless, there were substantial rewards (see two posts above).

And personally I made my goal of top 15%, a bonus of 6 million credits on top of the 16 million trading profit.
Not bad for an Asp carrying 120 tonnes.

Pretty good for an asp. Quick question: Do I have to go back to eotienses to claim my reward and dues this expire if I don't do it fast? (I got bored and am pretty far away right now)

I made my goal of top 15%, a bonus of 6 million credits on top of the 16 million trading profit.

i got into the top 15% too but my profit was much much lower than yours. what were you carting and from where?

Do I have to go back to eotienses to claim my reward and dues this expire if I don't do it fast?

it should just sit there indefinitely, but i've never waited overlong before collecting it. i suspect it might even survive your death, i.e. still be claimable if you die beforehand
