A Guide to Minor Factions and the Background Sim

*FD* We are going to check internaly
*FD 2 hours later* Do not worry, it is working as intended. tick occurred.
*Us 3 weeks* Still waiting for the tick.
 
Boom went into recovery, pending Expansion remained pending. Hope when a tick finally arrives this sorts out or its a ticket.

Mates system failed to go into War despite passing the leading fac in % 2 days ago on the last tick.
 
As an interesting experiment, let's leave this particular missing tick unreported. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for FD to realise on their own and make it start happening again.

I think you could wait for a long time in that case.

Sometimes I wonder if FD is actually playing their own game....
 
More than 36 hours since last influence tick. Remember we had an elongated tick on Sat/Sunday (30 hours or so?) and states changed yesterday. Lets see if the PP tick changes anything.

Edit: Not at first glance.

Influence tick has occoured, minor factions can expand up to 50ly

Whoa are you sure the influence has updated? State changes can also affect influence, so an expansion will move factions and adjust influence accordingly, but is actually done at state change not influence update. Have any of your other systems seen influence movement?
 
There are some news on the "can't find the system we expanded into" front:

Pilots of the Holy Grail expanded into the HIP 106213 starsystem , but that area of space was really full, so they had to displace an existing faction in that starsystem when they expanded into it.
Unfortunately, another minor faction nearby also needed to expand and thus also needed to displace an existing faction in the new system, which was The Pilots of the Holy Grail :(

According to the QA-Team this "works as intended". Uh oh.
 
I've been wondering if that's possible. Haven't been able to think up a way of making it happen, but now it's known to be possible I wonder how long the chain can be made :) This sounds like a fun experiment and may actually explain a number of missing expansions reported by other people.

Be interesting to know what this much sort after system that has experienced multiple removals is, and how many facs are in it.
Reason I ask is that I have seen a number of quotes for totals (7,8 ..10) for the maximum number of facs per system.
