Ah damn, you went there.

Yes, no and maybe.

Now that wars are possible in multiple systems, you could farm combat bonds in war A, system A and hand them in while war B in system B that involved our faction.

you could also fight in a war in system A for TDW, wait a few days then hand in the bonds when we get another war going in system C

All because we are the faction that grants those bonds. Some of the above is tested (by others, not me!) and seems to work.

Handing in combat bonds from a war in system A into system B where we are NOT at war doesn't boost our influence, unlike bounty vouchers.

Safest is to just hand them in when you next dock up for repair refit.

Orders 27 - 28 Aug 3306

He have EXPANDED. We have arrived in LTT 5455, our plan A system, that makes a great launching place towards Sol.
Today we are in pending war state, so not a lot to do there right away.
We have expansion cooldown before we can get going again in HR 4979 in the direction of Lave.

Today, in HR 4979 do only Trade, carto and bounties, no missions. The Legions are doing stuff with missions that I would rather was not messed with.
We can do a few missions for CIA in LFT 926 as well to secure their position a bit.

Please do not do any of the following as they help the enemy:
Do NOT work for other factions in our systems, unless requested in the orders.
Do NOT hand in bounties for any faction other than The Dark Wheel in our systems.
Do NOT hand in trade goods or cartography data to stations that we do not own.

Tasks for today:

Bounty Hunting & Combat:
  • Bounty Hunting in LFT 926, Anyanwu or HR 4979. Hand in to HR 4979 or Shinrarta
  • Bounty hunting at the compromised Nav beacon in Anyanwu is also good.

Commodity Trading
  • Profitable trades into Iqbal Hub in HR 4979
  • Profitable trades into TDW owned ground stations in Shinrarta

Missions & Passengers
  • Missions for TDW in Shinrarta
  • Missions for CIA in LFT 926

Exploration Data:
  • Hand in to Iqbal Hub in HR 4979
  • Hand in TDW ground stations in Shinrarta

Please continue to use EDMC or similar tools to keep local data up to date.

Keep Spinning The Wheel, Hamsters!

This is probably one of the coolest initiatives and it's all community driven. Brilliant.

The game has no new lore, no real direction, no proper story line to follow but Kai, Cryptography and anyone else involved in starting us spinning the wheel have brought a sense of purpose back to the game(for me anyway). Before I was spinning around in my wheel in the dark with no sense of where I was heading but this has given me a touch of light to head towards and the fact so many of the ED community are wrapped up in this makes it even more special.

A big shout out to all those making this happen. One thing I have become aware of is that the game is far more complicated than most of us were aware. I am actually impressed with how FDEV have implemented the BGS. This is not just a shoot 'em up in fancy ships. So any beef I have is why haven't they made more of this core technology. Forget Odyssey in one sense , couldn't this been far more transparent and implemented in an easier way?!

I am sure others can follow my reasoning, if this powerful community tool (BGS) can truly bring a player base together, then why has it taken this long to leverage. We could have been building the Galaxy with background stories being supported, not a hidden arcane mechanic which some people have finally kicked into action to provide a measure of satisfaction and dare I say it Fun! I don't want a poor mans ' No Man's Sky' with jiggly walking scanning the furniture. I want story and access to Magrathea ;)

Who's got that Fry meme 'Cant tell if trolling...' ?

There is, theres a BGS & a RolePlay forum amongst others. Squadrons and Player Managed Factions (Managed = adopted), Colonia.

If you are referring to my post, then no trolling. In the same way that I don't enjoy spreadsheets at work I simply had no idea of how powerful BGS is in Elite Dangerous and I would not go looking at arcane information when still learning how the hell to fly with Flight Assist Off :)

How many of the players before this initiative, which is bloody awesome btw, knew anything more than oh you can play with the BGS, and go like, is that a new can(n)on? ;)

For a complete BGS noob I can work out its not a solo thing, and yet its power to move the game seems to be far more powerful than many expected? And I ask the question why wasn't this used to help story-lines from the beginning? Would ED be so empty of Galnet if the players had or been able to utilise BGS to the full at the beginning...?

Trade and Carto benefit the owner of the station where sold/ handed in.

Bounty vouchers benefit the faction that grants the bounty, so long as it is handed in to a station in a system where the faction is present.

Way back when, I think I recall hearing Cannon Research suggesting not to hand bounty vouchers from other systems in at their system, as it decreases their influence. I would really love to know if that's true because that can hurt the current LTT owners. But I think they would need to have a legal facility to even hand in and I don't know that they have one (haven't been, yet).

[Edit...but then again, I don't necessarily know that it helps to reduce their influence in a pending war state (lol).]

Orders 28 - 29 Aug 3306

War is upon us. We begin our invasion war in LTT 5455. There seems to be only one Conflict Zone spawning so be sure to clear out as soon as you are done if doing this in open or larger private groups.

CIA in LFT 926 needs a little more missions as they slipped yesterday.

We are above the expansion level in HR 4979 but are still in cooldown. This will happen in another day or two.


Please do not do any of the following as they help the enemy:
Do NOT work for other factions in our systems, unless requested in the orders.
Do NOT hand in bounties for any faction other than The Dark Wheel in our systems.
Do NOT hand in trade goods or cartography data to stations that we do not own.

Tasks for today:

Bounty Hunting & Combat:
  • Bounty Hunting in LFT 926, Anyanwu or HR 4979. Hand in to help the war in LTT 5455
  • Conflict zones in LTT 5455. There is another war here, be sure to select the correct one!

Commodity Trading

I just want to say here that I am so damn proud of the men and women of the Black Sky Legion yet again. We had prepped to be ready to try and take rep in HR 4979 in 2-3 days once Expansion popped out of Anyanwu. Well yesterday it did and I gave Legion orders of the day with a note that if they want to go at the planned pace and get us from the sixties to 75% in 3 days that's just fine. But if they wanted to go HAM and get us over 75% sooner than that just means we get to go merk some fools in some wars. Well, after seeing that we gained the entire amount in 1 day and that we are over 75% on today's tick all I have to say is, get ready 5455 because the Black Sky Legion is coming to break stuff... :devilish:

I am drowning in the waters of the awesomeness that is this :)

Each and every member of Black Sky Legion that has contributed to this, big or small, deserves a huge thank you and a huge congrats to their work!

But we ain't done yet though!

We are still looking for people for both the Black Sky & Rabid Hamster Legions! More information can be found on the discord, along with instructions on how to join!

Cya'all in the black CMDRs!

Seeing that BSL can't access the Rabid Hamster's mission channel, and vice versa, I just hope that Kai and Cryptography never get the idea to let us loose in the same system, with opposite goals.

I think they have that covered, I suppose what we don't want more than anything is that we do not want to mess up anyone else player faction and end up going to war with them.

Would be amusing if we end up fighting each other though!
