Fortification update: can also be seen on
this post.
We've fortified everything profitable, and quite a few that are deficit-causers. If undermining finishes off the last two systems over 50%, we'll still have over 250cc available on Thursday. Preparation and Opposition (Af Leporis) will be the calls to action next week, along with profitable Fortification.
If ninja-undermining does happen, and we wind up with a deficit, we will lose at least one Turmoil system. While we would have liked to have lost them, the only actions we can control are Preparation, Expansion, and Fortification. In light of the ninja-undermining two weeks ago, it does not make sense to me to leave our profitable systems vulnerable, no matter what our budgetary goals are. My thanks goes out to all the CMDRs who have helped us fortify these past two weeks, and I hope we can maintain this pace. If we can maintain this fortification pace, and prepare only profitable systems, then the amount of deficit-causers probably won't lead us to impending doom.
And if it does, we are still likely to be able to recover from it.
For those of you who find the fortification grind unbearable and are nearing burnout, please, come see us at the Chapterhouse of Inquisition. We have opportunities available to help lower fortification triggers, raise undermining triggers, and distract you from hauling cargo.
If you are a pilot who cares about fortifying a deficit-causing system, please come to the Chapterhouse so we can help you with advice on how to keep that fortification trigger down, much like Inquisitor Harfang is doing in HR 571. At this point, deficit-causing systems that are consistently rescued and fortified are the concern of those who do the fortifying. Everyone has a reason for keeping their home system purple, and arguing about whether a reason is good or not is not helping anyone.
The Chapterhouse has its hands full monitoring profit-making systems, so we can't be everywhere.
Thank you all for your space-trucking ways, and I hope we can make life easier for everyone. Though at this point, the only way I can think to do that is by keeping those CMDRs who undermine us occupied elsewhere.
