Version 24.01 - Cradle of War - General Feedback

This might have been asked or requested already, but could we get some info on our personal contributions to the war effort… maybe in the same summary screen as the faction running total… like have a line that shows “your contribution” ? I think would be good information for me to have anyway lol

How am I supposed to find Polycrase? Do I need to turn something on in my Overview? Can’t these Military Campaigns be a little less vague? Where am I supposed to exchange these “points” I earn?

They are in Bulwark systems as shown on the opprotunity, there is also a map filter that will show the current sites (you want the blue ones for polycrase). You refine Polycrase into minerals and turn in the crystalline stuff outside your HQ anchorage (as shown in the info of the stuff).

Which map filter is this?

Mining, Bulwark mining sites


Currently all the gallente and caldari ones are mined out.

Well, that figures. So is this an ore anomaly that I’d normally warp to? This would explain why I couldn’t find the @#$!$%^&@! things… I’m curious, though: Caldari is at 5%. How exactly are they supposed to complete this objective?

And I still don’t know where I obtain the new Faction modules (Caldari Navy Missile Guidance Computer).

Yes, it will show up in the anomalies, in the other empires, there have been public fleets with boosts and compression going. We have more than 3 months to complete the objective, it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Considering it was probably mined out within ~2 hours of DT, I wouldn’t exactly call that a “marathon”.

Outside the Anchorage station in the HQ system for Caldari, not sure which system exactly

Is that the Faction Warfare HQ, or…? You’d think that in the wall of text on the Military Campaigns they’d at least mention this… If (as a vet) I can’t find any of this sh*t - how can they remotely expect new players to figure any of this out? PS. Thanks for the help, btw.

The very same.

These things are meant for us to discover and spread ourselves. No MMO I’ve played tell us where to get every little thing in the game.

Well that’s not the marathon part, the other empires have been mining these all week and aren’t done yet either. Expecting goals to be done quickly is not what should be expected with these things. Respawn is about 4 hours with 3 sites per empire, seems to be the current consensus.

Np, happy to help.

In the patch notes (in case anyone else is looking). Doesn’t appear as though the new Faction modules can be acquired here…

Exactly…

And same here, 100%

Yeah, I agree 100%

Seems CCP/FC Devs don’t know that a Military Campaign operates and depends on up-to-date intel briefings to lay out various plans of action that give specific command orders to their active forces in each theater of war within the campaign…

And now we know why the mining component of the Military Campaigns is being insta-mined basically at downtime:

Emphasis mine - but when we have buy orders for the Caldari Navy Missile Guidance Computer for 500 million, it’s easy to figure out what’s up… They’re not mining this for the Military Campaigns.

I still have no idea where to find these:

Where are the “item traders”? This is confusing as f*ck…

For Caldari, go to Onnamon, navy anchorage, DON’T dock, there will be a Rhea with an icon on it that you can interact with, similar to all the other item traders for the past few events. As for battlefields, those are FW sites in low sec for ~30 people.

Guess that’ll teach me for taking an extended break… (thanks).

Contested Rogue FRF ELT sites are very inconsistent. For some sites the rats will spawn at reasonable intervals but in other cases the rats spawn within 5-15 seconds of killing the last wave, over and over again. I’m all for fast waves and I know these sites are made for 10 people., but these discrepancies’ in some sites are strange. I have found that when done in Caldari Systems there are no issues, but the Gallente equivalent is the one that spawns relentlessly.
