Powerplay Faction: Arissa Lavigny-Duval Cycle 36 - Fortification & Preparation Priorities [Updated Frequently]

Greetings commanders,

We have a huge amount of CC this week. The priority for all those people trucking is going to be Preparation. Fortification is still important, but making sure our prep list is in order will save us having to bail out to turmoil to avoid bad expansions later.



Fortification:


This week, fortification takes a bit of a back seat. While we still need to make sure we are protected our hauling efforts should initially focus on preparation.
Note that due to load on the Fortification Tracker access has been disabled to those with only 'view' access until a more permanent solution can be worked out. The Cycle Priorities sheet is still available

Cycle Priorities



Preparation:


Big target list this cycle guys. We need to hit this super hard to avoid any terrible systems sneaking in.

HR 4720Olelbis or Ida DhorLarge Station
CD-27 5409Xinca or LTT 2667Large Station
MbutsiLHS 1852 or OlelbisLarge Station

Please avoid using nominations until late in the cycle. We can use them to boost a system if in need.

Fly safe commanders,

Nominations:

We need to try and remove Brestla off the prep list. We're only off by a few thousand merits.

Please use your nominations on any of our desired systems above that are currently below Brestla.

Current Prep List




We're a little bit light on our fortification status going into the cycle tick. Once the prep list is looking good, hit up the Cycle Priorities and start fortifying the recommended systems.

I don't understand why we need to try to remove Brestla off the prep list (41CC) and why Bragur (-21CC) has been chosen as first choice.

Once you factor in the cost of Overhead (-62.1cc per system) Brestla is a -21cc deficit-causing system and Bragur is -83cc.

Bragur hasn't been chosen by anyone paying attention to how Power Play operates, unless of course there are CMDRs preparing a deficit-causing system deliberately. Accusations of so-called "5th column activity" happening fly left right and centre, but ALD has always had a problem with the closest available target being prepared for no reason other than it's there.

Incidentally, as Bragur is 6Ly from Gende and already reads as Exploited by Arissa Lavigny-Duval, it should be impossible for anyone to deliver corruption reports there.

Thank you for precisions.

And why is Mbutsi chosen ? It is in order to cause deficit to Felicia Winter economy ?
As i can see Zachary is also preparing a system (Concantae 6CC) inside our empire.

Why CD-27 5409 has been chosen for preparation when it offer -24CC ?!

Mbusti and CD-27 5409 Contest Winters Exploited Systems. They both have extremely high upkeep, so when Uncontrollable Turmoil happens, they will likely be lost first.

Wahou nice ! :-D

All those upkeep make me thing a power cannot expand for ever...

How will we fight against people expanding Bragur the next turn ?
Will we have people joining opposite power to undermine it ?

Wasn't it suggested to FDev that nobody should be able to prepare a territory already in control ?

Guys we need to fortify IDA DEHOR in priority ! After that we have to fortify OLELBIS !

I now understand why Brestla was prepared : It is massively prepared by Zemina Torvald. But luckily for us she doesn't have enought CC to elect it for next expansion.

There are 10/100 Preparations made by Zachary Hudson on Bragur.
You actually need to dock there and take a closer look.
I checked all powers, no other power are preparing Bragur ! Well at least in the TOP 10. How do you see others ?

Opposing one of our Expansions is just as pointless as opposing one of Hudson's Expansions. There are so many grinders that it is nearly impossible. SCRAPing a Combat Expansion is not a worthwhile use of our pilots' time.

And, no, it was not suggested by FDev, it was explicitly stated as a rule. One of the very few Power Play rules which was explicitly stated.
 
Bragur's a really strange one.. Surely they'll fix it..
Brestla seems to be moving up a bit again.
Threw my standard 5k + nominations in front of it, no time for more i'm afraid :(
