Just don't be surprised that, if they aren't the ruling faction, it doesn't quite run as above cos it doesn't always.
I just noticed something funny today. You know those source missions, that ask you to bring X tons of a commodity to them? Well, if the mission asks for weapons (personal weapons, battle weapons, etc), completing the mission prevents unrest instead of triggering it. Interesting, huh?

Interesting. Due to some dedicated effort in a High Intensity Conflict Zone (See? I do listen!), I and some others have managed to open up a +3%P net difference lead in the first day of the conflict. The Civil War (what one previous poster called a "Supremacy War,") is still underway. I'm guessing maybe it:
A. Requires greater than 3%P because it is a "Supremacy War," or
B. A Civil War must run a certain amount of time before resolving in any event.
Anyone know which it is, or is it something I haven't thought of?
At stake, of course, is the control station for the system, and turning the system into an official democracy.

That kind of makes sense. Selling weapons on the blackmarket would put them in the hands of criminals so would cause civil unrest, but providing them to legitimate factions would do the opposite.
this. civil war has a minimum duration, afaik it is still 3 days (like you can read in the opening post).
after 3 ticks, station will change hands, on the fourth, civil war will have ended.
Smuggling increases lockdown, or at least it used to. But I had seen players mention that illegal weapons can increase civil unrest.
I've just put the BGS into my lucky velvet bag again, and given it a good shake in time for the 2.2 drop. I figure that way has as much hope to figuring out the changes as the next hope.
And on that dedicated forum section:
What I'd like is a more up to date input from the Devs, something like the one from MBrooks a while back. ( Back to looking into that velvet bag again.)
I agree, the BGS is a valid gameplay element that gives many people a reason to keep playing ED. Having its own subforum would be great for its visibility. Also, the ammount of reverse engineering we have to do with it is ridiculous.
I wish they expanded it a bit, too, to give more variety. I'm tired of cycling to get more missions.
With an out of date op and almost 4,500 posts, most of them asking the same questions (or providing the same answers) over and over, we definitley need a BGS forum section with a bunch of relevant stickies. There are several mods who frequent this thread, I don't know how much influence they have with the devs but if they suggested a BGS forum section it couldn't hurt.
That would be most helpful. I'd suggest PMing Brett C. He has the admin rights to create such a sub-forum.
A sub forum would be great. We could then have specialised threads per issue. Some questions or points being discussed here get buried pretty quickly, sometimes without an answer.
only selling with profit is good for the markets owners influence. you won't find a good which you can buy and re-sell with profit.
BGS sub forum would be fantastic.
"BGS a valid game play element"? It's frankly what drives for me just about every game activity. It made me a daily player, for sure. I guess for me ED is "an inch wide, a mile deep"....
