Alliance: Call to Arms
- Thread starter dayrth
- Start date
You think it is possible for me to fight for the Alliance and visit Alliance space without problems if I pledge for Li Young-Ri?
He is independent and it looks like he cause a penalty to factual influence - but more so for Federation and Empire.
There is no Alliance systems currently in his space though. Mostly independent and Federation systems.

I got interdicted by an NPC because I was in hostile territory. I didn't shoot first because I noticed she was clean and I didn't fancy becoming a wanted criminal. I put all pips to shields and waited for the inevitable laserfire... which never came.
That was my first and only encounter so far. Would I have gotten a criminal record if I fired first? Would she have become wanted if she had fired on me?

I could be wrong and others will probably have a clearer idea of such situations but my current understanding is that if the ncp is from that system it can legitimately attack you and if you defend yourself you will be wanted whereas I don't think the ncp would be wanted ( or maybe it would be wanted in an Alliance system). :S
It's still all very confusing for me :S which is why, although I support wholeheartedly the Alliance, I haven't pledged yet.
Sorry I can't be more helpful but wanted to add my own feelings of uncertainty to yours.
I would think that you should be fine, by the looks of things Alliance bonuses often benefit independent systems - which, after all, the Alliance is looking out for, just trying to bring them all under the same non-Imperial, non-Federation umbrella.
EDIT:
So far Powerplay for the Alliance is... lacking. I realise the Alliance is a peaceful, trade based association of independent systems (with an inefficient and bureaucratic civilian government), but really?
"I've signed up, I'm eager to help the Alliance - how can I convince systems of the benefits of Alliance membership?"
"Deliver this paperwork."
"O-kay. Well then, what about reinforcing existing Alliance systems against our foes?"
"Deliver this paperwork."
"Uh... right. And if I want to assist systems interested in joining the Alliance ?"
"Ah, well, that's completely different. Very exciting, you'll like this!"
"Yes?!"
"You deliver that paperwork."
There had better be a second Alliance power coming up, somebody from the apparently very effective and efficient Council of Admirals who basically gives combat-oriented Alliance pilots more to do, because at the moment I'm considering withdrawing my support for Mahon.

I think you may be being premature.
Yes the methods for acquiring systems is they simple and transport based, but we have yet to see serious player or NPC focused wars going on. When one terretory starts pushing into another and there is direct competition over systems you may see more actions. Perticularly if the opposing fractions method is not paperwork, but rather blowing stuff up.
I don't know what happens yet if you go into another powers territory after you have declare your allegiance, but if it is anything like how the NPCs seem to be functioning you will be fair game, and visa versa.
...also, my understanding is you can of course go on the offensive yourself. If you go into another fractions space you can attack their ships and earn tokens that way. If you go look at the Galactic powers standing screen and look at what they have to do to expend etc, it tells you, as someone pledged to Mahon, what you need to do to stop them. It generally involves blowing stuff up.
Hi Guys!
Question: Are there any new conflict zones in Alliance space (around mahon territory) atm?
I'm on my way to deadly rank (only 2% to go) and want to do some fighting for the alliance. All wars mentioned on page1 seem to be over (couldnt check 2 of them)
And NO, I'dont want to BH or undermine enemy powers, did that enough already
thank you,
regards

seems winters and hudson having trouble to fortify all their systems. additionally winters is opposed in all 3 expansions. the only noteworthy for alliance is @ holiacan 298% vs 64%.
As I recall, Thargoids were adept at hauling your ass out of witchspace and then handing said ass back to you on a platter ....

Back in the game at last
I downloaded 1.3 yesterday and managed to get a couple of hours in. I was still getting the settings sorted so didn't join in with the crew, just hit a low res or two. I am LOVING the new shader solution. No stutter, no freezing and on higher settings too. Cruising past planets is spectacular now.
I intend signing up with Mahon tonight. Hope to see you guys there.
I've not come across any news, so none posted today. If anything comes up I will update the OP as and when. I will also start posting expansion/fortification system updates, as soon as I can get my head round it.
(On a side note, I cant find the disc that came with my X52 pro. Anyone know if it can be downloaded?).

I joined Mahon too and started figuring out what PP is about.
Parked the T-9 and bought a Cobra for running errands with their papers. (Is there no fax or comm link in 3301?)
I'd love to see separate forum sections for powers where we could discuss the aims systematically and not together in one topic.
Do you think a private group could help to organize? Or a quickly set up free informational website?
EDIT: just have seen ARC - will look into it now.

I believe the reason players are running physical papers is because a transmission could very easily be intercepted and decoded.
