That "you" wasn't directly aimed at you, it was the general "you".
That most players are not engaged with the story is primarily FDev's fault/decision. If you only play the game and don't bother watching youtube videos and read books about said game, you will know maybe 5% (probably way less ...) about what's going on with the lore. Most events are not even mentioned on GalNet (what is the least, one could expect). Currently, the lore is designed to be played by "VIP" groups and selected "celebs". Hell, I don't even really get what you guys are talking about with the conspiration and whatever. If the game doesn't tell me, I don't know and then nobody can't blame me for not taking part in it.

It sort of feels like we're about due for some sort of BGS group competition.
Maybe not another Rise To Power, but something to measure ourselves against each other.
INARA ranks by membership, but it would be good to see something that measured number of expansions, and population and wealth and so on.
I'm just thinking out loud here, but the thing I liked more than the possibility of becoming a power was seeing all the groups step into the spotlight and say "Here we are - this is what we do."
And then the ensuing noise and PR and maneuvering and slanging matches.
I just feel like I'm out of touch with who counts at the moment. Who's big, who made a daring grab, who pulled a system out from someone else.
Like the BGS itself it's all kinda hidden.
Anyway - you're right.
There's big stuff afoot and I should get off my lazy bum and push that forward.
Operation Sirius Business is to force Sirius in a retreat at Sothis, Ceos, and other far away systems. The systems neighbouring Sirius will not be effected. This has been made clear several times...
I got the Sirius permit by doing missions out of Procyon. Hardly useless. I even got most of the modular terminals required at the same time.
Sirius Corp. has been portrayed as an extremely sinister and borderline evil organisation, I had a very bad taste in my mouth being forced to work for them. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned.
That's not quite in your hands now though, see the thing with making a big event public is that other groups joining can add on whatever they wish to it. Supposedly Procyon isn't being hit, but several players have reported being pulled in that area by Sirius blockades. Supposedly UA bombing isn't being sanctioned, but it's happening to Sirius stations anyway. Supposedly warnings are to be given to ships in the area before they get pulled and shot, but that's not the case.
That's the trouble with going public before or during an operation, you no longer control it and all the blame for any unintended consequences falls on the most vocal supporter. Not that I personally care, I have Palin and haven't been to Sirius space in a month or more, but this whole episode is quite amusing, the inevitable BGS backlash and counter attack will make for interesting news.
No Sirius station is being bombed. Check the latest starport status report if you don't believe me. Also, the guys that are blockading Procyon have nothing to do with OSB, they're doing it on their own.
The UA stuff is the only one I heard secondhand and not through a reliable source, from forum chatter from an infamous group known for doing UA bombing but who will go unnamed due to naming and shaming. And you can claim the other actions, which I can assure you I know are happening from video and friends in the area, aren't part of this operation all day, it doesn't change the perception that this is all because of it. No one cared about Sirius space before this happened, and an open invitation to attack Sirius and players in Sirius will obviously lead to escalation. It's naive to think that this operation can be so neatly regulated when you make it public during an operation.
If it were an OP I was in I'd make an announcement at or near the very end, with an announcement that a new goal is being reached for in an undisclosed area elsewhere by said operatives. That way any future action wouldn't be tied to the groups organizing said OP.
As a player who usually plays Solo and gives zero fox about power play, how does this affect me?
Getting Professor Palin engineer is harder now since there will be fewer systems and stations to build up Sirius rep with, and there is a risk of them going into lockdown. If you have Marco Qwent already and don't use Open it doesn't affect you.
Also it's not really a Powerplay thing
No buffalo to hunt...
No tribe to lead...
"What will we do for *fun*?
Babblebabblebabblebabble!
Go, Go, Gophers, watch'em go go go!
Go, Go, Gophers, watch'em go go go!
"Here comes the Colonel and His Sergeant, both a roaring and a charging!"
Go, Go, Gophers, watch'em go go go!
Go, Go, Gophers, watch'em GO GO GO!
From what I understand, the most vocal supporters were evaluated by opposition groups but striking back was deemed pointless since the main instigators had Colonia holdings only, or in one case were a hired mercenary group and have no actual allegiance to the cause.
Marco Qwent (the stupid Bint)

Procyon isnt blockaded, and will not be attacked. it will be maintained in sirius control to ensure access to qwent is not compromised. It does not have a black market and thus can't be UA bombed.
That being said - DONT GRIND OUT MISSIONS for sirius rep.
go to this system:
Col 285 Sector CX-J c9-8
scan everything with a DSS equipped, and turn the data in to a sirius controlled station in procyon, this will get you allied and then its a matter of the permit mission popping up.
I had the problem with the Modular Terminals but LHS 20 has a station that spawns at least one MT mission a click.

It does rather seem that you are provoking said river of tears... Palin isn't currently blocked at all, no?
All organizations are sinister and evil. They're run by humans, so how can they be anything else?
Even the thargoids will scurry when the Spider Overlords return to clean out this part of their web.
It's been brought to my attention that some people are blaming the group that ousted SDC from Wolfberg on the BGS attack against the Sirius Corporation. I can assure you that this is far from the truth.
The group is not trying to disrupt access to engineers in any way.
Well since we can't name them it could be we are referring to two different groups claiming credit on the former and just one of the two in the latter.
