934 cool people v 4954 squares.Yea. I got to admit, i never expected you to get that much support... who are those other 934 people?
COMPLETED CG Delaine Targets Imperial Forces in Beta-3 Tucani (Combat)
- Thread starter Kietrax
- Start date
This is the first warzone CG for a while where high-intensity ground CZs have been available - Frontier normally seems to try to restrict them to systems and factions which don't generate them. There has been only one previous warzone CG exceeding 200B bonds after a week, and only three others exceeding 100B bonds after a week (and two of those were pre-Odyssey ones with obviously no ground CZs but unusually high participant counts for a one-week war CG)
But they'll support (most of) the other 11 Powers.
It is quite funny, really:
Salome: The system is corrupt, fight to bring it down. I am also personally highly flawed and clearly an anti-hero at best.
Players: We'll fight for you!
Players: It is most unfair that you got killed!
Every other NPC since who is clearly in some way anti-establishment: I want to bring the system down!
Players: Die, heretic!
In this case I don't think there's any bandwagon effect at all - ALD is up 5.5:1 or 6:1 (depending on whether you count on bonds or players) now, and those ratios are pretty near exactly the same as they were after the first four hours. It's all entirely that the player base collectively has really strong opinions on which murderous tyrants are best.
There really shouldn't be any reason that the guidance system of a missile makes any difference to what you can put in the warhead, so I tend to handwave this sort of thing as the engineers only being licensed to offer scruffy space-mercenaries a limited selection of technology (e.g. we don't get ATR lasers which damage the shield generator, but we can get engineered lasers, and we can get other weapons engineered for generator damage) so plenty of other modifications are possible but the various superpowers and other organisations don't want millions of them in public circulation.
Spot the problem.
That's right. There is no Frontline desk to hand the bonds in at.
The Imperials have one at their station, but the CG for Kumo's side specifically says at the Mictlan megaship.

Not a problem. Combat bonds are combat bonds, turn them in from your ship menu.
Perhaps what Delaine really needs to win this CG then is a pair of silicone implants.
Or just needs to be the first option. I have no interest in Powerplay so I don’t care who I fight for if the module rewards are the same. I just click on the first option and go from there.

I might take combat taxis from the station, but would the Kumo side's Bonds work there too, or not, because it's Imperial?
I'll science it later.
In a conventional war, they'd work normally towards winning the war, but that doesn't apply here.
In a CG they wouldn't help at all because it's not the station hosting Delaine's CG. You have to hand the bonds specifically in at the Mictlan to get CG points for them.
Going to be a nause going back and forth for on-foot. No wonder the Empire is winning!
I wonder if the fact Beta-3Tucani/Tucanae is in the game twice has confused anyone heading there... it's the same star in reality, not in two different systems.
Works for the simperials.
For anyone new to CG:
Combat Bonds MUST be handed in on the Mictlan, specifically at the Combat Bond Contact in Contacts menu next to Shipyard (which is disabled).
Then check your contribution to CG in Mission Board, Community Goals, Progress, it will show progess immediately and if you are signed up or not
Emphasis on "your ship" because I found the hard way taking a shuttle to the Mictlan wasn't really helpful if you want to turn bonds.
It's ok, I spent 10 mins curled up into a ball inside an elevator listening to muzak, I'm fine now
A cunning plan. Draw them in, make their eyes explode and make them beg for death....
Apologies to Aphex Twin
No apologies needed, this looks as good as the album original cover!
After last night's extensive combating, I stupidly handed in the Bonds at a Combat Bonds Contact in another system, haha!
Back to the drawing board!
Question.
when I visited Blackwell port there was plenty of kill missions for both sides. But since I’m about to become hostile with the Youbee I can’t land there much more.
But on The Mictlan there’s no missions at all. What’s up with this?

Somewhat surprised the Fednecks didn't take the opportunity to give the Imps a damn good thrashing...
I suspect it's due to the transitory nature of the Mictlan.
