Acquisition Systems

Where? Pics please!

This works fine, i stole some Rum from those pesky Kumo Crew at Harma then filtered the map for 'Pranav - Acquiring' in the Powerplay Activity Filter, picked a system that showed some 'creep' on the conflict bar and delivered it there.
Got Merits and completed the Mission.

Thanks to you guys I found the "secondary tab" where you can choose your Power and filter Acquisition systems. Only I click on the filter and nothing appears. I can't see the acquisition systems. Do I miss something ?

PS : if the hollow dots are all aquiring systems what am I supposed to do to deliver the rare goods, is it in the "contact" menu or the usual sell merchandise in trade menu ?

Yes the ones with hollow dots, mine was already in the process of being acquired (yellow bar moved a little as previous pic), Sold the cargo in the normal trade commodities bit.

The "tactical view" is also important but isn't clearly explained - the button to show it is on the right hand powerplay panel at the bottom right. The small icon of a wireframe sphere.

Click a stronghold or fortified system and use that, it will show you everything in range. If you're in a system and want to know which fort/stronghold it's "protected" by, you can use the button there too as it will draw a line to it.
 
There is a secondary tab in the left menu bar of Powerplay, where you can choose your Power and filter Acquisition systems. Did you try any of these? That's how I delivered mine (Pranav).

Thank you roots. That was damn obscure. FD need to work on the UI to make these easier to find.
 
So you can't unlock powerplay ranks? I probably didn't sell at the right system or station
You should be able to sell them for the unlock but not merits.

You need to sell them at a system which your Power can currently Acquire. If you click on the system and use the Toggle Strategic View button

you'll get a bunch of lines back to nearby Fortified and Stronghold systems which can support the Acquisition.

If one of those lines leads back to one of your systems, you should be good to make the delivery. Otherwise, no.

So LTT 4835 on the map above is good for Mahon (dark green) and Kaine (bright green) but no-one else.
 
Missing something Ian? The galaxy map is missing filters for acquisition and reinforcing systems. Honestly, how can one be expected to identify these systems without an appropriate filter? It's such a stonkingly mind bogglingly obvious omission that it fosters the thought that the Devs don't play the game, even, much less test it. sigh.. Would they had concentrated on fixing fluffs, ups and omissions rather than creating new ones.
 
Actually it does, the 2nd filter says Acquiring and Reinforcing

Interesting, Darrack..

When I go to the Galaxy map I have the following filters..

Unoccupied
Expansion
Contested
Exploited
Fortified
Stronghold

I see no mention of Acquiring nor Reinforcing. I would very much appreciate enlightenment..

No worries Darrack, just found 'em! I am very grateful dude, I was beginning to think the earth's collapsing magnetosphere was affecting the development team. No I see it's just me! :/

[Well, I was hoping that would assist in completing a weekly assignment to deliver exploration data to reinforcing systems. Nope. I guess Dev are affected by the magnetosphere after all..]

In my case (note the date on the first post of the thread) my problem wasn't finding Acquisition systems themselves - I knew they were the currently Unoccupied ones, found them on the map just fine - it was having trouble actually finding one within range of Kaine's Fortified/Stronghold systems, because the way Frontier had allocated Kaine's initial systems meant most of them didn't have any at all.

(And it was too early in the week for the double-circle icon indicating activity to pick out some obvious targets either)
