Passed half way to Tier 1 after <2 days and 7 hours...
 
Got the exact opposite in my live stream today in the high zone not a single spec ops event the hole hour... Capital ships and escorts and defend missions...
How was your corvette spawn rate, Mine was Zero... Empire had a boat load of cutters spawning..

Yesterday was getting 1-2 Vettes per CZ in almost every match, say every other one, may be?. Today I've seen only ONE in 4 hours.

I've never ever seen a capital ship in a CZ in all my Elite life (8 months).
 
It's definitely been rigged in favor of the Federation in the last 24 hrs.

Spec Ops now immediately gang up on you (all of them) upon entering the CZ, but they won't even look at you if you choose to fight for the Feds (I tested it).

Also, they will hunt you down no matter how far away from the CZ you go. This didn't happen to me yesterday in over 7 hours, not once.

I'm done with this CG. This is ridiculous.
🤣
Is this the Imperial victim complex speaking or just regular tinfoil?

The RNG is strong in CZs in regards to what scenario stuff shows up. Then there is the stuff you hear showing up but is out of range on the far side of the zone so you never get to interact with it.
 
Dear Imperial Brethren,

While I can't join the fight due to my faction's systems needing me (once the BGS has you, it won't let you go...), I am immensely enjoying the sight, vicariously enjoyed through the CG stats, of the Federales being given their first ever kicking in a Fed v Imp combat CG. Much popcorn is being consumed, and much alcohol will follow if we maintain that lead until the end. Doubly so if the Feds fail to reach T1.

These boots were made for kicking. By the Gods, keep kicking.

On an aside, I've monitored what I call "RNG lock-in" for a long time in CZs. That is, you get a certain set of spawns in a CZ, but then you get nothing but that in every subsequent CZ. Sometimes it works against you, sometimes it works in your favour... and it bodes well to milk it when it does. For example, I had multiple sequential CZs once where I got the capship and spec ops spawning for my side.

It happens... anyone claiming it's rigged is usually just experiencing confirmation bias imo, and just needs to look at what's going on closer to see it's just RNG. (saying this having experienced confirmation bias myself on many occasions in Elite).

The only imbalance I know to be true is that in CZs, the Federation is OP compared to the other superpowers... any time I've ever fought for the feds on a long-term basis, it's easymode. The imperial capship is a peashooter, and Federal warships simply punch and tank harder than Imperial or Alliance/Independent counterparts.

In Alliance/Indy CZs there's no "free 500k" cap ship which hampers either of the other two in a competitive bond-based CG and they do tend to get a lot of bullet-sponge C-ships.

But yeah, whenever I've fought against Imps in a CZ (Ackwada) it's laughably easy.

I'd disagree-ish, only because I tend to find I can defend the capship easily enough (and it provides a distraction to easily line up ships for PP kills), unless the Spec Ops spawn for the other side. But a hostile Capship? I always take it down.
 
Sometimes I've had it where a capital ship was supposed to jump in, heard the noise, but it didn't appear. Had night vision on so, if it was there, I'm sure I would have seen it.
 
PSA = more confirmation in game that the Pay per kill is still over the x4 limit announced in the rebalance for this CG CZ...
This time confirmed kill was 7.7 x displayed value...
50,520 displayed kill credited with 360,858...
Next kill credited with 112,066 total now on transaction tab 918,726... bonus x4.9
Next kill credited with 45,488 total now on transaction tab 1,409,856... bonus x10.7
This way over the up to x4 announced pay on this CG..,

Sub topic corvettes are back in the RNG cycle... 3 in a row died to bring you this data...lol...

Ive been hearing rumours that Cmdr was asked by Frontier to change his name, thats one source I wont trust from now on.

Yes he was. He submitted a namechange into "Hadrian Augustus Duval" 2 years ago and FDev approved of that, breaking their own CMDR name policy (You cannot have the literal name of a lore char). September 2020 they mailed Hadrian to inform him that they were going to correct their error and that he was to settle on a new name.

Hadrian A. Duval is not the literal name and in theory the "A." can mean anything. But, it is pretty clear what it means :)
 
Why is the Imp turnout in this CG so low by the way? I was expecting 2x as many by now, especially given the story aspect of it.

Participant numbers increase roughly linearly each day, so they'll probably be around 7000ish Imp and 5-6000ish Fed by the end of the week. Combined that's 12-13000, which is similar to the combined totals for previous competitive CZ CGs.

It just looks low because rather than being mostly on one side it's split relatively evenly.
 
Had a go at this today, first instance I chased off the federation battlecruiser then managed to keep going to win the battle, second instance was mobbed by spec ops plus a bunch of other ships about 8 in total and had to run away lol
The Imperator thanks you
