Narakapani station doesn't have a Frontline Solution desk and you cannot book an Apex shuttle to the combat zone. This means that you cannot take part in the war when doing on foot only game play. I would have thought at least I could book a taxi to a safe distance from the CZ.
I just finished fighting for a faction engaged in a war in Orishis, and over 7 days the conflict finally ended in a "Draw." This was surprising because the News Feeds all stated that the faction I had supported actually won the conflict!
Afterwards, it appeared that the lowest value asset in...
I don't know if any Devs or community managers will read this, but I'll give it shot.
For the past 6 months, conflict has ensued between Federation factions and Imperial factions in the system b2 Carinae. It has gained alot of traction with system status War breaking out this week, with Inara...
In counter-strike systems, we are asked to engage in combat zones, which could be outside planetary bases, or in orbit.
Unlike Alert systems, there is no way to rearm or repair when fighting in these arenas. If you do leave to repair, the instance is reset and progress is lost, unless you've...
After the revelation that a new Thargoid "thing" was coming into the game, what do you think its role could be?
Personally, link to its size compared to interceptors, I would think more of a kind of fighter, accompanying something bigger.
And you what do you think ?
From what Ive seen the non-combat roles appear to be evacuation and search and rescue. I would like to suggest a few others.
During a war there would be forward medical bases. Maybe station a medical frigate in the system adjacent to the system being invaded. Then have medical evacuation of...
If we organized a community effort to all go to a singular Maelstrom and begin a week-long campaign of destroying all of the caustic generators, would the cloud dissipate? If you kill enough Orthrus in a system, it changes the state of that system. Does it stand to reason that the same would...
We humbly request your assistance in this harrowing conflict, for any aid you may render would be greatly appreciated. The stakes of this unfortunate war are too high, and victory must be secured so that Aegis may redouble its efforts to support humanity in the Thargoid War.
Your noble...
As it was recently suggested there is a need (especially for small/medium ships) to bring more ammo to conflict zones using specialized ammo modules.
I would suggest instead to introduce new commodity type - weapon parts - which would allow be used to synthesize ammo and other consumables on...
look at the progress bar, we aren't making that much progress in this system, that is creepy enough
look it says time till infestation, what is that, is this time till we see star ship trooper type combat.
but why has the counter gone down in a single day, it said 5w yesterday, today it says 4w
Hey, I know it's kinda agains the community opinion, but can we at least consider this:
Add a CG/Lore events for those who believe we can make a peace with Goids
Stop talking about Goids as agressors
Can we?
Just think about this: in both galaxy wars (Goids vs. Protoss Guardians, Goids vs...
Quick question: When fighting in a CZ and trying to win a war/civil war, is there a big difference in INF from winning a low, medium, or high intensity CZ?
The Oracle nearly destroyed... and a number of us who have remained on the sidelines of the current entanglement of civilizations may no longer prefer to do so. Speaking on behalf of the many who owe debts to our brethren in Delphi, we stand now near to this conflict. We ask that serious and...
So, thanks to a lovely bug today, where the AI spawned but were unable to move at all, I was able to work out some of the mechanics behind the ground Civil War / War combat zones; there's a number of very serious issues which will absolutely break PvP, and make it cheesable against the AI...
So, perhaps this is something that's already been considered by Frontier, but I thought I'd put it through; just in case :) With Odyssey having a whole new element to combat and now the ability for full on wars on planets, I thought this would be a great time for Frontier to take full advantage...
Hello
So I am going to ask a question that I think I know the answer to, but I thought I would run it by the experts first.
I have a particular system I call Home, as I assume most players do that don't have a FC to call Home. I've been calling this system Home for probably a year and just...
My home system is being invaded, and I’ve been busy (with friends and allies) dominating the conflict zones. In the four days of fighting so far the game stopped awarding combat bonds, and now the progress bars in the zones have disappeared.
Our faction has dominated the fighting every day, and...
A number of days ago, Terra EX attempted a coup in the Reidquat system. Unbeknownst to Down to Earth Astronomy's Squadron, there was another Player group in the system as a minor faction. The Code of Pirates had been maintaining a presence in that system for quite some time, and when they found...
Hi everyone,
Once again, war for control of the Carcosa system up in the Colonia region is pending. The faction our player group supports, The Nameless, who control the system have been challenged by another player group.
For BGS reasons, Carcosa under control of The Nameless is the sole...
Conflict Zones: What affects your faction's status in the War?
Is it just turning in Combat Bonds at any station where your faction is present, despite who controls the station?
Does Winning a Conflict zone net your faction any points towards the War?
I've attempted to research into this...
Dear CMDRs,
since 05 February 3305 (05.02.2019) CCN (Colonia Citizen Network) is attacking illegally our home system the second time now.
Join the Alliance for peace and liberty in Colonia.
CCN has proved itself as aggressive totalitarian clan, led by a dictator like. (Full Story and...
To understand the graphs and evidence, you need to know how the BGS
(Back Ground Simulation) works. A war starts automatically if two factions are equal in influence.
24 hours after a faction reached the same influence in a system, the BGS put both factions to war.
As player faction you can...
Thargoid attacks against stations and other installations sould be predicted beforehand "through new top secret technological advances", and be spotted say 7-14 days before they start/finish allowing to organize defending better against them.
Could be just locally on top of a mission board like...
I like how the new war system and general BGS is set up now. But as it stands everybody is in conflict with everyone all the time. That just doesn't make much sense.
To fix that I would suggest to get rid of conflicts without assets. That way we would probably cut down on conflicts by at least...
This is causing two serious problems:
Long, tedious dogfights in what are so close to being exciting battles.
Ammo shortage. My ability to win a battle should be based on skill, not on how many materials I've gathered to synthesise more ammo.
It's not just the special ops and propaganda teams...
Shortly before the tick beckoned in Cycle 182 the hobos who call themselves NZT did reveal their true intentions to the galaxy by declaring war on Aisling Duval without attempting diplomatic liaison & pushed a 5C Expansion against her highness’ assets. This dishonourable sneak attack was however...

Good morning commanders. I wanted to know something about BSG:
when a minor faction is at war, can the influence be increased in the other factional systems?
I'll explain; when a faction is at war in a system, to increase the influence, then win the war, we must deliver Combat Bond and missiono...
Lately, I flew in my spaceship, saw an Anaconda and thought, we are living in the year 3304
what happend to cybersecurity, why am I not able to hack this ship?
Maybe an unrealistic wish, but what I miss is somekind of cyberwarfare.
What I am imagine something like this:

You are...
Ok, this was a bit of detective work and I will explain my reasoning step by step so please stay with me. My theory has some gaps and I will point them out but my line of thinking has enough evidence to let the community in on it and ask for help. This Thread is a WIP and I will add proof and...
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...
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...
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...
As it stands the latest station to be attacked sits less then 150 LY from the edge of human colonized space (129.66 LY from my measurement site) and each attack site appears to be exponentially further from the pleadies then the previous. Furthermore it is likely that this Incursions is set...
I misspelled my title and i'm sad. Oresrians
Possible spoiler info below, read at own risk.
Are the Thargoids currently encountered Os (Oresrians) or Ks (Klaxians)? How do we know?
I'm asking because several posts talk about them being Os in reference to the story structure of Os making a...
I think it's appalling. Poor guy. Not a single friend in the forum.
And we pride ourselves as a warm and welcoming community... Welcoming indeed... You all should be ashamed of yourselves.
I for one have sent him a friendship request (some time ago actually...). It seemed the only right thing...
Hey, guys!
I've done a little bit of digital cartoon artwork in my time, and thought I might throw together a quick picture for Elite. I only spent about 5-10 minutes on this one, so it's very simple, plain and far from my best, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
