You say this about the game that went RELEASE without the ability for players to talk to each other...

This just does not make sense to me. A system is fortified thereby requiring no CC to maintain, yet it falls into turmoil when CC run short? If that is "working as intended" then it is completely illogical.
IMHO the entire PP system is a screw up by being a complete and separate system to the previous faction/rank system that already existed. It should have built on and been integrated with that previous system

Vish is working for fortification.
Edit: And fortified >100%.

Lol, thank goodness for that.
Where will the merit grinders go now.
Guathiti should pretty much be fortified for life at this stage.
FACECE is working for me now.
don´t know about the rest. I will check a few systems shortly.

Martio works, if you feel like flying 40k ls to the station.
GUI XIAN works.
is it fixed?

looks good. ANUM works, did not work for me yesterday.
Someone's prepping systems. Might have to expedite that list before it gets out of control. :/
Perhaps it is a good idea, if we assume expansion is inevitable, to tro to get too expensive good systems on to the list so we only expand into one of them.
Number of exploited systems should not matter in overhead calculations next cycle, so the focus should be purely on high profit systems, right?
the reddit page says to prep HIP 32812 and Binjia
I am going with that until this thread says something else
I dunno... I'd rather see how the new overhead changes really affect us than steaming ahead to grab more high profit systems. S'how we got in this mess in the first place. Rather spend this cycle plugging the holes in our territory than preparing farther expansions. :/
It should not matter when FDev implements the new Overhead calculation, but we don't actually know when they'll get that out. According to "research", the current "hot fix" was simply 'raising the bar' for Overhead. So it is still worth thinking about Exploited systems this week.
Aye. I see that post as well. Unfortunately, I have no information about those systems except that they are large landing pads.
When I update the OP with the Prep suggestions, I want to have a still image of those systems on the map, and the stats. I won't be able to play the game for around 36 hours, so if someone can source those for me, I will try to edit the OP as soon as I can. Stats would include: Government type, Income, Potential Profit, Upkeep, # of Exploited Systems, Distance from HQ (Ly), and nearest Control System(s). If anyone has that information, please post it here, and I'll add it to the OP.
I agree with Darshendros. We should only expand into one system this week. For all we know, Overhead has simply been 'pushed' for another week, and we don't know when the new calculation will be implemented.
I know we have 245cc to spend, but I really think we should do our best to limit ourselves to 1 Expansion this week. The only way I can think of to force that is to make the top 2 or 3 systems (the ones in white) to occupy the same 15Ly sphere. So, the two preparation targets below HIP 32812 would need to be exploited systems of it.
Really you never visited either of them?
The issue with Hip 32812 is its a dictatorship. Bad for expansion and fortification.
There are a few around Binjia that might be better, depends on what you want.
I just LOLed when I saw what was on your in game list, Vaka.
Not sure what I would be posting if I was still there

Vaka is back? Alright Elite Dangerous Club. Have it your way.
Please enlighten me, I'm still confuse with the PP thing.
If we want to just expand to 1 system, why should we choose HIP 32812 while Ida Dhor have more profit? If we expand to HIP32812, Vaka can push back, not mentioning a lot of other systems with cost below 163CC, and that's more possibility than if we expand to Ida Dhor.
If it is impossible to expand to just one system, since we can't coordinate all ALD supporters. Wouldn't it be better for CMDRs that get along with this thread to just expand to HIP32812 + BINJIA and beat other systems nomination? At least the Reddit community have commit to this strategy.
IMHO, seeing how even when EDC can communicate with us here they still doing their own way. I think it is totally meaningless for FD to implement any PP communication tools inside the game. It is powerplay, group with more community get more power, and power rules. If we can't beat VAKA nomination, then they have more member, more effort, and thus have more leigitmate right to choose which system to occupy.
The only way to communicate between ALD supporter groups, is to getting more members, more votes and then doing more efforts.
Btw, how to check the real value of nomination behind the Preparation rank? Is that any way or just no way?
Vaka is currently #5 on the list and 10k behind. I wouldn't worry about it. Although, I wish they'd stop nominating/preparing it. It's of no strategic value to us since it's in the middle of Patreus territory. They need to stop with that crap.
There's a 3-wing of non faction pilots trying to interdict people in Kamadhenu, if anyone wants to blow them up. They don't seem very competent. Tried to interdict me 4 times and they couldn't manage to catch up to me in my Clipper (LOL 430 boost gg). My Python's in Kamito, otherwise I'd do it myself.
