You seem to be mixing up public opinion and influence. You gained the latter at the point of a gun.
Since a lot of people complain about the game not telling you of stuff happening, I thought I'd let you know the Federation lost a permit system
- Thread starter Apos

Interesting statement coming from the side that has been non-stop killing civilians for 3 days.
That's what the game requires them to do to correct what you have done. So one could argue that you are again responsible, this time for the deaths of your own people.

Look what you made me do?

So, what you're saying is that to be ethically correct with the population you should leave the system to the Alliance? Stop the murders!
Shocking reports are coming from Ross 128. Fueled by hints of an Alliance bio research facility in the California Nebula and reports of Imperial Slaves being transported there by the Alliance, fear is spreading among the population of Ross 128 that the Alliance might deport them as test subjects in that bio research facility.
These rumors gained a bit of credibility by a video supplied by an AEDC member linking Ross 128 with the infamous bio research facility.
Without any possibility of verification or falsification, due to the chaotic situation in Ross 128, these reports might be nothing more than baseless accusations. A trace of doubt remains.
Without any official comments about the situation in Ross 128 from the Alliance and the Federation rumors are spreading with supporters of both superpowers accusing each other of horrible crimes against humanity.
As they say, truth is the first casualty of war.

Perhaps we should be asking.
"Who started this war in the first place?" because it sure wasn't the feds

PS... I live in that area of space and now have a another bunch of trigger happy loons trying to stop my independent trading business [mad]

So civilian casualties are justified in a war?
Well...this is why we liberate Federal systems then. Without civilian casualties no less.
Anyway, if anything, I'd urge people to think of other ways, because if you lack the imagination to use anything else other than murder and aspire to play the BGS, you're going to have a bad time in the upcoming karma system FD was talking about.
I should be reporting that as a potential bug one of these days.
I'm 99% certain it's because independent dictatorships allow slaves and when configuring the files, FD just copy pasted them, changed the commodity list/allegiance and all other settings remained the same regarding the BGS.

Liberate????? did anyone ask you to? what right has the alliance to go "Ok, we're taking over xxxx system regardless of the consquences"
Because I'm sufferering the consquences... my treasured trading spots going into lockdown, losing access to black markets I've long earned good credits at.
You're worse than when the EDF and HoT decided to have it out over a couple of their systems..
I admit I was lucky that HoT seem to hide in private most of the time , but EDF dont... any open trader is fair game with them, and more than once I'm held up at the point of a huge plasma cannon... which aint nice.(I got really good at fast talking my way out of trouble there [blah])
In finality , the Alliance is no better than the other 2 superpowers, and your half hearted apology for the trouble you've started is "we've come to liberate"... which is strange because I've seen the exact same line used by the feds and the impies when they've started trouble.

<<slightly miffed
Ahh so you wish to see the return of the horrendous treatment of the political prisoners of Ross 128? Remember what you're fighting for: forced hard labour, torture and despair. The alliance combine has put a stop to that. Feds want to bring it back.
Fed anxiousness about the prison is leading some commentators to speculate about what exactly will be found in the prison's records....

Political prisoners? the murders, pirates, and killers the federation locked up for a damn good reason? is that what you want to liberate on the rest of us?
One of the reasons the Sol area was safe for us traders is BECAUSE the murders, psychos, and pirates were locked up in Ross 128 and not on the loose to cause mayhem everywhere.
Now I guess I'll have to swap out a 64 ton cargo module for a bigger shield generator and have to spend a shedload of cash on new weapons.. unless I like being at the rebuy screen after being blasted by one of your 'political' prisoners
Bill
PS And never forget, the impies and Alliance run their own prisons.... you off to 'liberate' them next?
The simplest answer to that is that some people don't play around such a concept as: "You all suck and I'm just an honest individual trying to go by".
Which is highly pretentious in itself.
Anyway, your wallet will survive. We made tobacco legal.

You guys didn't kill any civilians?
No, it's not a necessity.
It's just an effective method, but fairly short term sighted and much more controllable and efficient methods exist. Murder gives you no control over where the lost influence goes and thus is quite messy.
Ah.. I see... soo "the murderers" only matter when they are not on your side huh? Because it looks to me like the federation has been doing all the murdering as of late.
Comms chatter on Alliance Secret Intelligence lines confirms that the Federal Navy has been covertly dealing in illegal Slave Trade.
The pilot's name is protected information and we will not reveal our sources due to possible backlash through Federal ranks.
It seems as though the bio research rumours may be an attempt by the Federation to cover up their own actions.

Despite other responses from the team, your basic premise is actually wrong. Before any shooting even happened in Ross 128, LHS 2541 Alliance Combine had gained massive support locally from the moment it entered the system, leading to a coup, which lasted a short three days - and only in military designated zones. This was just to confirm where the support of the locals was, and it could be argued it was a domestic popular uprising, assisted by the AEDC and AC providing a vehicle for their revolt against the Federal rulers running a prison colony in their home.
In fact, Social Ross 128 Coalition started the war at 1.0% and ended the war at 1.0%, whereas AC started at 83.6%, and on victory day was at 87.8% (actual game facts).
This was not a hostile take-over. The locals were delighted someone came to help them force the colonizer out.
