Yes you can push to get beyond the 5% needed in the pending stage. The War will still last 3 days when it becomes active, then any asset will transfer to the winning faction, and then War will last one more day before the state clears.

Not sure at what distance Investment is meant to come into play, but I have just had a failed Expansion at 23.05 Ly and gone into Investment.
As a local ToC war has shown us, 5% is not enough. You need 5.1%. You need MORE than 3% CW and 5% W to win. So 0.1% more. ToC had another warlock day as they "only" had 5% difference.
That will happen, from my understanding.
How about if player faction influence is over the target opponent, you lower it to same as opponent and server tick comes. Will it start a war or do you first have to be lower than target and then come to even it out ?
There is two decimals also representing the influence, is it too easy to go over ?

Coming from behind for two factions also includes dropping onto your follower. As long as both % meet each other for a moment they will lock % and pend conflict.
A special case is the "highest value target" pending. If you got 8% and an enemy in front of you has 9% and another 10%, it is likely you might end up getting your highest possible war enemy, meaning you will lock on the one with 10%. Happened twice for us.
No. You need to pass each other.

You pass them. Get them out of it.

Can't wait to remove a load of them then!!!!
Will this actually mean that we dont have to worry how much we do missions or stuff even when we are close our opponent as we pass it locks ? So there is no fear going far over ?

No you don't. Just had War go pending for my faction after bringing the faction below to 38.8%. My faction was at 40.6
War went pending at 39.8% each.
And that is not a change for 2.2 either.

You were directly at them one day before and on the next day you % lock... yeah someone did % work Jimbeau and you passed, that way locking. Otherwise it would pend WITHOUT locking. You can even start a war by rushing into someone from 1% to 18%. There is no need to "close in".
@Niewitch
Using a war locked enemy - or yourself during pending - to pass others without triggering a conflict is a standard BGS tactic, yes.
Also a faction that CAN will always grab you while passing, unless a higher one could. So yes, do your worst for BGS.

Months ago yes. When I first entered the system.
Before the engineers update, influences of faction involved in conflict were locked out from other factions in the system.
So I expanded into the system.
The second placed faction was in civ war with the third i think.
I raised my faction, taking % from the lead which brought them below the 2nd/3rd facs.
I went to War with the lead fac, passing the 2nd/3rd facs in the process and went on ton win control of the system.
2nd fac held onto the other asset.
Now, factions in conflict can lose % to all the other factions, even those outside of the conflict.
