bgs

I've noticed an odd behavior in the bgs that I want to see if anyone else has run into. A buddy and I have been concertedly supporting an anarchy faction, and have, in the days since the reset, watched the faction's support swing wildly, and very unpredictably. In short, we have been running a...

Regarding the Fuel Rats home system struggle: I fully understand that FDev have shot down the idea of only having BGS effects earned in 'Open' count, but what if the community took up the torch? What if we spread the idea that working the BGS in Solo/Private Group was 'cowardly' or sleazy, or at...

Ahoy there, i think a lot of the trouble with how the game is presented is homebrewed. The devs have all necessary tools at hand, to correct the most obvious flaws. They have USSes and wing beacons, the ability to spawn NPCs tied to the BGS states and can change the cargo lists of NPCs, while...

With the revealed BGS changes for Beyond 3.3, while they propagate to the journal? If so, I hope FDEV will release the new Journal Manual at the start of the beta so that changes can be made for the parsers everyone is using (and bugs found quickly).

While the new ability for a faction to be affected by multiple states sounds great. It still seems off. Wouldn't it make more sense for a "famine" or "outbreak" state to affect a whole planet, or station, rather than just a faction? It's like if a new flu epidemic broke out but only labour...

Sounds pretty cool... https://www.pcgamesn.com/elite-dangerous/elite-dangerous-scenario-missions

The idea is: what happens in a mode stays in a mode. Wanna play single player fine. Wanna play open fine. Wanna play both , fine. But your stuff in one does not exist in the other. This means pvpers can't hide in solo when in their taxi ship to CG, and then switch to open when they feel safe in...

the idea here [ https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteAntal/comments/980krv/guardians_of_harmony/e5d5avj/?context=8&depth=9 ] . is one i've had before, and does seem SUITED, to different locations, where something just doesn't MAKE SENSE, when you look at it, especially when you're a new player, and...

Introduction So as of now, trading in BGS only affects the controlling faction of the station. If you think about this, you come two one of 2 conclusions: a) The controlling faction gets a monopoly in all industries on a station. b) The controlling faction is in charge of the port and flow of...

So the BGS.. The bane of many Cmdr's existence. {DISCAIMER}: This is an open only advocating post, for the reasons contained within. (I feel the need to point out these home truths as noone on the other postings will even reply to my comments.) BGS is both a PvE and PVP activity, in such that...

Dear development & maintenance teams! Please, fix BGS tick time to 12:00 IGT. Several patches before mentioned tick time was really perfect, but now... I understand, that tick may be postponed, but/ please, move it back after maintenance\upgrade\patching\etc.

Greetings Commanders. Officially the Cavaliers Le Chardon are the manifestation of an allegedly retired maverick Imperial Navy renegade. Although rumour say that this group is more than one mans private army, and they are indeed a clandestine Imperial Military-Intelligence operation, working in...

The fact is, FDev has a history of failing to properly balance and incentivize both solo and especially multiplayer activities, and we have all seen this happen time and time again. Something pays too high to the wrong rank of player, and instead of redesign the mechanics of credit payouts to...

Massacre missions have FAR too high kill requirements for what they're worth, necessitating a pretty extreme grind of combat zones over several hours which would be FAR better spent in a RES site. This would have been fine if it was still possible to stack massacre missions, except you now have...

I had a big day today, I flipped a system to my favoured (NPC) faction. ED Bucket List Box ticked, it was months of work and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Or I was, until I met a Pledged player. No, no PvP was involved, they just came to investigate the change & happened to meet me, we had a...

Star systems and stations that have been attacked have lots of nice decoration and atmosphere. In addition, they offer missions that are directly attached to this that are both cool and profitable, awarding credits, materials, reputation and data. However, systems that are about to be attacked...

With the launch of Squadrons, I believe that this matter should also be discussed... Since Sandro Samarco mention "PP Open Only", I think appropriate to talk about the BGS too. I already generated LOCKDOWN on a system playing SOLO (I did a test to see if it was possible). After confirming...

OK, this could get fairly involved so I apologise up front. Also, I have 7000+ hours of ED and am pretty familiar with how BGS works, so this isnt a noob question, I kinda understand what I am talking about. Pleasantries over. For the last 5 days I have been working on and monitoring a dozen...

What is the barrier preventing Fdev from having separate servers for each mode? Is it just too much work? I'm hoping someone can enlighten me. It seems to me this would keep both sides happy but maybe i'm missing something.

I asked question about squadrons and BGS. These suadrons may change eveything in BGS! Please, ask your questions ASAP. https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/425978-Squadrons-and-BGS-Interconnections-dependencies-etc

Hi all [smile] I'm new to the BGS & enjoying it, but I was curious about a couple of things. 1) Will my trading and presence w/in a system eventually help it grow? Ex: if I start working in a system of 1000 citizens, will it boom to 1200, up and up? 2) By contributing to a system that only...

Hello. we've tried to make contact in game to no avail. We are looking to speak with the player wing that supports the PMF Symbiotic Evolution Cybercollective - SEC as we would like to open a line of dialogue between our two factions, if anything to merely establish communication between us...

One of the things that seems to animate a lot of players is the background simulation. It operates almost invisibly for most, and seems to have little real relevance in the game. This suggestion is therefore an idea to bring the BGS into view for players. I would like to see the Megaships...

I have so far ignored influence. But I seem to get some small amount with pretty much every mission I turn in... Is there any reason I should care one way or the other? Any practical benefit?

Hi there, I've been trying to bring about a regime change in my chosen system for a few months now, learning as I go along. I have noticed that if a faction gets into a war in one system, it brings about a general drop in that faction's influence across all the systems in which the faction is...

TL : DR For several months, The Alliance Office of Statistics have been tracking and monitoring up to 20 seperate accounts that have been using automated scripts for station services, flight and travel from system to system. Collectively this has been used to undermine Powerplay powers and...

A regular complaint justifiably levelled at ED is that there is no 'meaningful' PvP, it has no effect on the BGS, combat ranks etc. It cannot, because the idea of effecting change via PvP is incompatable with the instancing filters (blocklist and solo/group modes). The aim of this proposal is to...

Greetings Commanders, I speak on behalf of the 10th Legion in an effort to convince you to join our ranks and fight for the glory of the Empire! Who are we? The 10th Legion is currently a small Imperial faction however its leadership and majority of membership hail from a once great group of...

Hi, It would be nice if the information about additional rewards would be included into MissionCompleted event. Since missions could be rewarded by additional influence, it might be connected to BGS but we have no info about it in journal logfile. Also, is it possible to add an information...

Wikipedia statement - "No conflicts can happen below 7% influence" - seems not true 2 me, however... Info about 7% was found here: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Background_Simulation No conflicts can happen below 7% influence. I spotted at least civil wars lower this value. But...

Greetings Commanders, I come to you on behalf of the faction Foyama Novingo Startourism, from the system GD 140. Tomorrow will be an historic day for us, as we are going to conflict the leading faction of the system. We were waiting this moment for about a year, and it will now happen. We are...

https://youtu.be/Y48U_JXYMLk After reading them threads where people complain about BGS & that doing things for it in solo is cheating : it sparked an idea for this! Now to note once more : doing BGS or power play in solo or private IS NOT CHEATING and if you think it is : well you are wrong...

I've been a player since the Standard Beta, have thousands of hours logged and two Elite ranks (though *not* Combat - I've mainly been an explorer). In spite of all this in-game time, I've never seriously engaged with the player base except in an incidental manner as I encounter people out in...

We have this issue quite often. Commanders finds System X that generates some edge case of mission types that by happenstance give everyone doing them a whole bunch of money. They use it for a long while, and the word begins to spread and everyone jumps in. Few months later, it gets manually...

Hi, finally the BGS forum! Got two questions for which I have not found an answer yet after going through a couple of guides. 1) when we say "match the influence to trigger a conflict state" - how close should that be 1%, or an exact match (0.1%), or some other value? 2) Once a state goes...

Hello: First of all, congratulations on the game, is awesome. I mostly play BGS and I have a suggestion I think is very logic. I suggest that on every anarchy station, the black market should be closed, and at the same time you could sell illegal or robbed commodities in the open market...

I have confusion regarding the retreat state and how it is used to force factions out of a system. My group is supporting the controlling faction of a system which contains a couple orbital stations and a single planetary base. Our faction controls both orbital stations, while another faction...
