DOIN’ POWERPLAY

Back to Business

 Titan Cocijo Destroyed, Sol Liberated (presumably from the Feds, thank you thargoids) - Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site

Cocijo controls a single corpse, in low Earth orbit.

6 systems (Including Sol) in recovery, you can haul to help those systems recover, or coordinate with Operation Ida: Operation Ida

FU - Frontier Unwrapped - Questions about Colonization

Cash outlay is meaningful but not fleet carrier levels

The real cost is construction cargo

Claims can’t be locked - you have 2 attempts to fulfil a claim before you are paused

Only one claim at a time

No system upkeep

Architect is named and permanent

The controlling faction in the source system is the one that colonizes

You can’t permit lock the system.

You must start from the bubble

System Maps will have an ‘architect view.’

Colonization is not a PVP feature - You won’t be able to sabotage another architect’s project - No way to destroy constructions in a system

Thargoid war really Over?

What are your goals for the coming year of Elite If any? 

Have you unlocked the new powerplay cannons yet?

Someone out there has a bone to pick with us. We’re being pushed into wars and our influence is dropping in multiple systems. Who? Why? No idea. 

We’re a little busy with PP 2.0 and saving the earth to deal with it. 

Say whatever you think is appropriate kids. 

Once we know more about colonization, we’ll go from there and hopefully the fuckery won’t follow us where we go.

Most people are doing jack because Titan Conquistador is hovering above Earth. 

Someone asked about scavenging missions in the discord earlier and Daxi yelled at them about thargoids.

We expanded from Maikoro - Welcome to Anu! 

Soma - We have the highest influence but are not in control. We may push to 60% and trigger a control war via an arcane mechanism.

Year recap, plans and feelings, just go watch it

Colonization or, we heard you like grinding…

Making the bubble bigger, or shoot off to colonia 2 - keys to the galaxy

Purchase a claim from a claim contact - looking at 10LY

24h to deploy to claim beacon or it reverts - one at a time

Select primary star port, it’s pre-positioned, so I think you’re just picking the type of station

Construction ship, receive materials to build your selected station - largest thing

Any players can deliver - fill the list - starport goes in limited, on the thursday it will go fully active - Limited time on primary star port and has some infrastructure cost.

Claim beacon becomes nav beacon and claim contact appears in the new port

Large undertaking

You are the system architect, you can’t lose this control of constructions

Systems vary in what they can do after colonizing them, which can be researched ahead of time

Systems start with the faction you bought the claim from

Space stations: system map shows potential locations, choose an appropriate installation that can go there, buy it and summon a construction platform.

Smaller facilities will need to be built to have enough infrastructure to support building larger ones

On surface, you can pick the location of the construction, place and orient the future facility

Ground base construction facility, complete as normal.

Interconnected system economy, population, 

Planning a beta, early next year

Apparently the ground construction facilities will stay forever if their stock for building the base isn’t complete.

One more pre-recorded show for December

Buckyball - Race 8 TBD 

Wars in Uchagan, LTT 16910 and Yen Ti, not too worried about them. 

Bumbur and 5A need some boosting of influence.

Yong-Rui Screwspace aka ‘The Old Worlds of Screwspace’ are overheating with no end in sight. Hopefully things will level off, but it may take FDev’s finger on the BGS/PP interaction. Theoretically after enough cycles of expansion, there will be nowhere to expand to as long as there aren’t retreats from minor factions creating openings. Given an expansion is 10-13 days, that could be a very long time. 

The overheating has resulted in Operation New Horizons being on hold because we would have to push and maintain Semakhmets as the highest influence system (sort of) to trigger expansion from there.

19.1 Update Crime pays and doesn’t pay, but we all wear a crown of bones

Fixed an exploit where Powerplay Data could be downloaded multiple times from the same Data Port (Issue ID: 67329)

Aisling Duval's Powerplay systems now correctly flag Imperial Slaves & Narcotics as illegal. Crime does not pay.

Archon Delain Powerplay systems now correctly open Black Markets if they are not already present. OK...here crime might pay.

Pranav Antal now closes Black Markets in Fortified/Stronghold systems.

Merit awards for destroying Ship Launched Fighters have been reduced.

Adjustments made to Flight Tutorial combat drones reducing their damage output.

Type-8's collision has been adjusted so that the "arms" now have correct collision.

Election in Cempsigi, Wars in BD+67 1409, FF Andromedae and MCC 858

PP2.0 has set Yong Rui Screwspace ablaze. We’re going to need to cool it off. Fortunately Yong Rui pilots get merits for running missions in Yong Rui space, so merits for beating down our influence in systems. 

Cooling off our overheating systems is important because of Operation New Horizons. 

In light of the new upcoming colonization, we’re trying to expand out of Semakhmets to the edge of the bubble, 70 LY. It’s not terribly far, but Canonn and StellaNebula Project are sitting smack dab in the middle of our way. I’ve charted a route and it is a complex series of ‘filling holes’ and staging retreats along the way. It will be slow but we have no timeline or mechanics for colonization, so fortune favors the prepared. 

Daxi is the Quarterback

A diverse portfolio of Delane, Yong Rui, and Mahon pilots will probably serve us well as pushing out Archer seems to be our unifying theme

Expanding out of KZA to Yarigui

Powerplay has set the Yong Rui part of our space on fire. Anticipate beating down systems routinely, especially if you’re Yong Rui pledged. 

BGS as we know it is evolving as a consequence of PP effects and the colonization on the horizon. We will probably be less focused on expansion in the manner we have been doing. More details from CMDR Bloomingwind as it takes shape.

We’re expanding out of 6A -> Returning to Nedos where Foxworth Celestial accidentally retreated us out. They did all the heavy lifting. Thanks, neighbors.

Still cleaning up the aftermath of the ADI war. 

V640C - Operation Sour Milk has been a heavy lift

We live at a crossroads - do we want to pledge, and if so, to who? Nakato kaine is the only answer - hate
