O man...tough Numbers! Thank god it's Friday. Seems as it will be a long Night ;)
 
With the new system in play, IMO you guys should really support the strongest non-fed faction and just wage as many wars as possible against the controlling faction. The less stations the Feds own, the better! Of course, you should keep fighting for the Crimson State until the war is over, you might still get a station from it! Once it's just independents vs independents, the Fed supporters won't show up, and you can ensure Crimson State's dominance at your leisure ;).

Heh. I don't think those number will stay like that. I guess yesterday's update reinstated of some funny numbers from the completed LDF/DoL conflict in whatever cache the daily update uses after it was manually sorted out a couple of days ago.

The background engine is getting a thorough testing :)

Edit: Nah that can't be the case. Silver Natural have gone up as well.

Maybe we should make a alliance with the Feds to fight the new threat? :D
Jokes aside, i hope we get a better statement then yesterday this time. There must be some hidden flaws in the system. Even our enemys on the Fed side will agree with that if they see those numbers ;)
 
I wonder if we also need to run some missions so crimson state keeps getting enough ressources to go on with the war.
 
My idea about that: Destroying ships does more damage to the influence then cashing in the Combat bounds give.
That way, we lose influence, that influence goes to the fed (as usual, if you destroy ships from a minor faction, influence goes to the controllign faction)
The ships of the Feds we shot, gave their influence too all minor Factions in the System (that is also usual)
That way, all our influence did go over to the feds, from there back to us and to all other factions.

Thats why the other Factions got that much Influence increase
 
I encountered a rather worrying glitch last night - I was flying back to Knight Dock for ammo and repairs, and I got the "complete your business quickly, outsider" greeting! The station's allegiance was still listed as Crimson State Group, and as I was approaching the docking slot the station target render suddenly went green. Phew! I should check my rep, to see if the combat bonds that I handed in have harmed my CSG rep due to the bug.
 
In FD's defence the logic for this must be fairly complicated and extremely hard to test in the very small timeframes between diagnosis and cure. We can't simply have bonds=influence because then the factions not in a war would disappear to nothing so their values must be protected somehow, but they must still be allowed to gain and lose during the conflict so we can't just proportionately freeze them.

Good luck working this one out, FD ;)
 
Folks, FD are looking at the numbers to see what's happened - as you can imagine those numbers don't represent what's going on in Lugh whether we are winning or not. Don't know details but hopefully they'll have things fixed up later. They're also working on the combat bonds influence bug that Roybe and the Mercs saw last night.

Fingers crossed that all will be good by this evening and we can get on with the fight for liberation!
