A Guide to Minor Factions and the Background Sim

Cannot confirm that I'm afraid, I've been out the loop for a little while. Came back yesterday and noticed the outfitting wasn't what it once was.
I did some analysis a while back and found that some items do go out of stock, and that stock is replenished every 6/7 days.
I don't know whether stock replenishment happens at the same time as the BGS tick (seems plausible) because I didn't have the historical timings of the BGS ticks for the systems that I analysed.
I cant be 100% sure but I recall reading somewhere that outfitting stock is improved during booms.
Thanks both for the info. I'll take some notes and try to instigate a boom state in the controlling faction and see what happens. Could be stock numbers run in the background and if they sell out they're gone until they get restocked (BGS tick is every 24hr's I think). If boom increases stock numbers it'll be hard to tell without some serious bulk purchasing though!
If it was a question of numbers then one would see modules going out of stock at different times. But that's not what I saw. Stock changes every 6/7 days.
Ah ok, that's some solid research there. You've inspired me to start something similar at my local station, and see how / if it gets effected by minor faction states.
Sidenote: Woah, there are a lot of different modules!!
If you run the EDMC command-line program it can output the list of modules as a .csv file that you can import into a spreadsheet:
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\EDMarketConnector\EDMC.exe" -o outfitting.csv

How far out does that work to ... 30ly? 50ly? or as little as 20ly ..... my point being when does it start filling those systems of 5-10 factions?
That would be awesome, unfortunately I'm on xbox, so I'll have to do it the old fashioned way... Really need to sort myself out with a PC!
Hello Folks.
How exact is the end war percentage requirement? and what is it please?
Many thanks

Mine ended last week at the passing of 15% difference.
Last tick and still in War was 15.3% difference.
Next tick, and None state and 20% difference.

It's 15% difference required to win, but if you don't care who wins, it might end between 10% and 15%. There's a current bug report on this where FD's response is vague.
As you suspect, if there are two wars ongoing in the same system, all warring parties can all steal influence from each other.
And expansion is at 75%, not 70%
How long have you been away, since before the launch of 2.0 maybe? 2.0 changed the outfitting in my home system and some items that previously were always present in the main station, like grade A sensor boosters, are now found at the surface ports instead. I also find that module data on eddb from before 2.0 is often wrong. Purely anecdotal evidence form my own experience so ymmv.
I was only away for a couple of weeks, so well after 2.0/1.5 dropped. Sounds like there's some weekly S&D magic going on, so I'm going to monitor, and try push a boom state.
A war will end eventually when it runs out its maximum duration no matter the difference in influence but it may go pending again immediately. On 19th Feb I also saw assets change hands when a civil war ended with less than 15% difference:
OUDF = 10.4
UURP = 6.8
Difference = 5.7%
OUDF took control of a surface port from UURP leaving them only a settlement. The same two factions had civil war pending again 2 days later despite influence levels having a 0.2% difference. I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour or a bug.

That's some funny math my friend. :O But yes, victory condition for civil war is 5%, war 15%.
:O LOL. Yeah that's only 3.6% difference. I took the figures from my spreadsheet without thinking about them. I have a note that the difference was 5.7% that day and since you say civil war ends at 5% I must have made a mistake when I wrote down one of the figures.
Edit: Spotted the problem now I was looking at the day before, the war ended on the 20th with 13.7 vs 8.0 which is 5.7% difference. Still laughing at my own stupidity.

Pending states ... Do they become active in the order they are listed in pending?
What condition is necessary for election?
two minor factions of the same goverment type (e.g. "democratic") and allignement match influence. instead of a civil war/war yo will trigger election (and the one not elected via having more influence during election looses his most important asset).
