I'm hoping the VR SLI in the works will come to the 900 Series and won't limited to new hardware. It's why I'm holding out for CV1 and not jumping on DK2. I don't have the budget to buy it twice.
What do we learn from Lugh?

While afk farming the capital ship is outright broken, trade grind does not a good game make. I did the trade grind, I got my anaconda. Honestly? I'd rather have the current bounty hunting system with the current payouts, warts and all, than the trade grind.

I'm a sucker so I got DK1, DK2 and Gear VR, it's an affliction I tell you!
Everything I have read says it will be out for the 9xx cards, so keep the faith man, I am
I've learned that there is not enough risk in these scenarios.
Each station and outpost needs a heavy military presence around it for whichever side owns it. When you choose a side you should take an immediate rep hit for the side you didn't choose, and incrementally more as you kill their ships. You should go hostile with whichever side you aren't on very quickly, and it should stop you from being able to go anywhere near anything they control.
There are lots of great suggestions for changing mechanics in this thread, but the items here could be implemented relatively easily and would make the path you choose meaningful. I think that this would add a lot more weight to the game.

I'm just waiting for them to drop down to 16nm next year, then I'll buy a new single card. The performance increase should be considerable given that they're skipping an entire node, and what they've managed on 28nm is amazing given how long they've been stuck with it.
My only concern is that CV1 comes out before they drop to the next node, but given the way they're going at the moment I'm not sure that'll be a problem
Not if they're in solo mode, or they log off, and you won't make much money from it either way.
That pretty much just leaves role players doing this.

I'd be fine with this if you just went red with Lugh for equality, rather than the entire federation

Nope whole Federation. Far more interesting: stand up for the little guy and the big guy doesn't like you any more. Picking between two little guys is just boring; you can hop away a couple of systems and never have to worry about it again.
As a (mostly)trader who's been here since premium beta I probably count as an "old money tomato lugger" but I got nothing to cry about. I chose to take the profits from my trading and blow it on rebuys for the ships I lost in combat and had a blast. I recently had to withdraw from combat at Lugh for a while to grind some credits and make sure that another vulture loss wouldn't leave me without enough credits to cover the rebuy on my asp, but I'll be back
I dont think people want to ruin it for you out of spite. Im fighting for feds as they are my home system its like a call to arms for earth. N i think a lot of people will think the same and back our home.
Unless you mean something else and people came to spite the plan before the war?
But it has been great and you ahould be proud to be written in the lore whatever the outcome. Its the furet governmental war of elite!!!
The whole might of the Roman Empire came to a grinding halt when they got to what is now Scotland. They had to build and man two coast-to-coast walls in a vain attempt to keep us from selling them whisky and troubling their livestock
I took a little detour to try my luck at Lugh. What I learned the hard way is that friendly fire is really hard (for me, that is) to avoid when there's one massive wall of a ship and added to that crazy npc:s flying inbetween me and the target (even tough it's just couple of 100 meters gap). Maybe friendly fire should be less punishable during large combat events? Or, maybe, my skills are pretty flawed as I managed to be killed that way 3 times. Otherwise, I had lots of fun, until I had to call it for today due to my economical losses.
This, I believe, are arguments which most will also come up with.
Thus, if you do not realize that the Lugh faction is basically a "Player" one - which is true for the probably 90+% part of the playerbase which does not read forums - it is almost assured that you pick the Feds.
The good news here is that humans who stomp on sandcastles might be in the minority after all

There's a theme here, something about cold climates and ready access to booze.
I'm about 50LY away from Lugh, tempted to go in my old Viper... i'd probably get destroyed fairly quick :L
That surprises me. Ive lost count of my commander kills and not a single person has logged on me since the conflict started.
The Lugh conflict + Wings is the best thing to happen in Elite, long may it continue in all its glory !!!!
Try killing anything other than vulture/cobras and you will see.
Ive only been in the conflict zones so all my engagements have been combat ships.
I havent done any piracy so i dont know what the score is on the haulers.
Who is talking about piracy? I mean mass shield boosters pythons, fdls combat logging in combat zones...
Seems to me like the CZ-in-open issue could be improved, at least, by requiring players to declare a side before they enter the CZ, not after. Then the game could balance instances. Currently they end up with all the players on one side or the other, NPCs die in seconds, any player who picks the wrong side has to run or die in seconds. If the game knew what side you were going to pick in advance, it could avoid that: if you're alone then put you in an instance where there are other players on your preferred side (maybe where there are wings with free slots, too?), and make sure no instance gets so overwhelmed with players on one side that it runs out of NPCs and players on the other side have no chance.
