conflict

Can I get merits for ground conflict zones? Merits are not given for winning, killing during battle, or for cashing in vouchers. I know you can get merits for killing the population of the opposing faction's station, but is there no way to get merits for ground battles?

Since there is no way of knowing the progress of a conflict between 2 factions, without necessarily waiting for the daily tick, you could put a contact in a station, called "spy contact" which for a total of credits (like 20 million) gives you the score of the day for the conflict.

The update this morning as well as server side updates over last week apparently fixed a lot of the BGS problems. But as the title says observed after the tick this afternoon influence remained locked for my PMF, despite having run +30 worth of influence points from missions (in a low...

I am enjoying the new conflict zones, the combat is reasonably challenging and flying a medium sized ship it requires some coordination and concentration (unlike bounty hunting). How are you supposed to make money on it though? I cannot find any missions from the factions involved and the...

It is not intended to be rant-Post. Is it just me, or are the Payments of a Conflict Zone Massacre Mission Pretty low if you find them at all, or is this a actual Problem going around? I'm not asking for a high Payout like in mining at the Moment, but the new CZ-System Comes together with much...

o7 Commanders, think we might have found a small work around for those of you trying to do CZ's firstly we found that some of the conflict sites dont move away from you when jumping into the CZ, so this only works for them. what you do then is simple, just start jumping between session(solo...

tl;dr version: The best way to win CZ "battles" might be to joining the faction of the side you want to LOSE. Dissertation length argument: Before Chapter Four dropped, CZ faction balance seemed relatively equal. A player would drop in, there'd be a war being fought (to little or no effect on...

I'm tired of all the crap this gets. Ok ya for specific purposes other things would be more efficient sure. You want grind military rank go stack data missions (ceos sothis etc) you want to earn credits do elite trade runs. You want to kill and earn credits jump in a haz res. You want to earn...

I'd like to see the system war/civil war system built up a bit more. My suggestions would be as follows: make conflict zones into local battles for local resources (stations/planets/rings/etc.). resources contribute to ship/weapon type for faction ships around system local resources could...

Hi there, I did a PvP fight in a conflict zone. All of a sudden I got the message "hazardous Substance Detected" and soon my internal moduels started to melt. Shields were up throug out the entire fight. So are there player or human npc weapons that can cause this effect? As I said in the...

So after fighting through many conflicts I have noticed how ummm... civil and peaceful it can be around stations, surely combatants would come around to bring some trouble, if people are fighting out on the field then why aren't they assaulting the castle? So new CZ type, which can be much more...

1. War When war starts, in system appears two megaships where you can dock. This ships are centers of military operations. Around this ship you will have capital ships being repaired, multiple patrols etc. In this ship you can get access to some simple mission like removing biowaste from ship...

Combat zones suck. We all know it. From a design standpoint, they are a pointless Horde Mode killing floor with zero consequence and zero persistence. Ostensibly, combat zones manifest, grow and disappear organically as battles for space supremacy over a planet grow and evolve. This is, in...

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...

At the moment large crafts cannot land on outposts or planetary bases without large pads. This create some problems when big ships want to turn in combat bonds for the local conflict. What if we let fighters land independently to turn in the combat bonds and then redock with the maincraft that's...

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...

I was at a high intensity combat zone in my FDL comfortably earning combat bonds. There was this annoying elite Viper MK IV which kept turning around me and firing his "gimballed" railguns from a distance of 800m to 1500m at me (he kept hitting me even though I had FA off, spiralling all around...

I recently tried conflict zones and found them very fun. However there were things that ruined my experience from time to time. The biggest problem that it seems like almost all bots in small ships are equipped with only missiles, cannons, plasma accelarators and (most importantly) railguns...
