There is a CG active to go along with the recent GalNet news post.

Sign up at Newton Dock in BD-02 4304, then sell any Medicines at that station to contribute.

The station is a few minutes' SC away from the drop-in star in that system.

As of this posting, Time left is 5 days, 16 hours.

195 contributors, 146,835 tons total. Tier 1 not yet reached.

I'm in the top 15% with 1,964 tons.

Edit: A quick check with a trading tool will show plenty of Progenitor Cell sources within 50ly.

Heading there right now to take a little break from PP, at least before going back to explore uncivilized space.

Edit2: Suddenly don't feel like doing it anymore after signing up. Gonna head out to Wababa again. LOL.

Now in the top 5% with 3,440 tons.
Event hasn't cracked Tier 1 yet. This looks like a slow one.

i just joined up myself. did a quick couple of loads, then built a Hauler to drop some data off at Lembava and am now back in the Anaconda again (in Azgaa, i think) with another load ready to deliver

Currently about to start load number three.
By looking at the graph I'd say first tier is at 500k units.

My guess is that this CG will not be popular and may not achieve its top tier.

Why not? Because the delivery station is around 8,000 light seconds from the star! Traders don't like such distances for rapid repetitive trade routes. It reduces the profit/hour and it increases risk of interdiction, especially because you'll need a big ship to make it profitable at all compared to other trade routes. (And will an Anaconda pilot really want to spend a week doing this? I think not.)

On the other hand, you have a high probability of achieving a high % reward level if you stick at it (as few others will), though don't expect a high final reward bonus as the top tiers will probably never be achieved as a community.

another reason is that the only commodity available for the return route is Mineral Oil - thankfully it earns a tiny profit where i am sourcing my P. Cells from (Asgaa) but this goal is something you do for reasons other than profit - i think the entire run earns roughly cr350k/400t

i did 5 runs giving me a nice neat 2000t contribution. if i get bored enough i'll do 5 more for 4000t. it would take a miracle to get me doing more than that, as doing this goal is as boring as all fuck.
