There's a lot of chatter about the background sim and almost all of the bugs seem to have been ironed out so that it's really playable. A single commander can really make a difference and so can groups. I think a really nice blancing point has been reached and I've got a good feeling that it will get much better. Well done Frontier (again). So if anyone want to get involved in making changes to systems then just say hello here. Now don't get all het up when oyou read the next couple of words. Power Play. OKay now you've got over that read on.
The Antal Power is tiny and really very different to the other powers. It does some very strange stuff. It's not aggressive and it's activities are either unnoticed or just a little bit odd.
Well here's the interesting bit. It's not a fed, its not imperial, it is a commune co-operative type thing. They post all their activity openly on reddit and often here. So you might be think .. erm yawn.
Anyway what they have done is transform 49% of the systems they are present in to favorable government types. This has been a real challenge because almost everywhere is like a democracy or corporations. They turned the systems in to coopertaives, dictatorships, feudal societies and communes. That's really kind of impressive. My numbers are not exact but it's just to give you an idea of what sort of thing they have pulled off. So like I was saying if you fancy getting involved in the background sim and working with a nice bunch of chaps just drop your commander name here or some such and maybe a bit about you and your play style and someone will get in touch. There absolutely zero need to join power play. I was just using it as an example.
If you are a background sim expert cool. If you have no idea and fancy giving it a poke, even better. If you drink tea, how do you like it?
Here's an example of how effective the different powers have been in shaping the mindset of the game galaxy as of last week.
% Change from having neutral or unfavorable governments to favorable ones in the system they occupy (control and exploited systems)
Edmund Mahon 68%
Felicia Winters 53%
Pranav Antal 49% - Example - Had it hard because every government was unfavorable.
A. Lavigny-Duval 40%
Li Yong-Rui 36%
Denton Patreus 31%
Archon Delaine 11% - Example - Had it hard because they are the 'Bad guys'
Aisling Duval 6%
Zemina Torval 3%
Zachary Hudson 1% - Example - Had it easy because every government is pretty much favorable anyway so they cant really improve on an ideal starting point
As a bit of power play side note. Who cares about how many coloured blobs there are on the PP map if nothing has actually changed?
It's quite late so I will probably edit the gosh darn out of this post later.
If you like the idea of fiddling with stuff then this is for you.
