Yep! That's what happened to me. I went over to Sol and shot up a few Fed NPCs for Mahon. I got 10,000 credits for my trouble and a bounty of 64,000 on my head. Are there locations, or ways and means that this becomes a little more... lucrative?

Welcome! ARC or ARCU as I call it is always looking for a few good men (and women too).
Having gone back and read the OP, I can say that it is this part of the game play (flipping systems to the Alliance) that is where my interests lay in the game (along with exploration).
I am taking part in PP, with Mahon, but PP seems to be a totally separate mechanic and strata of game play that has little or no effect whatsoever on the underlying system control. In other words, from the point of view of converting systems to the Alliance, PP is meaningless. All of the Federation could be in Mahon's area of control and nothing would have changed. They would still be Federation systems.
Having come to this conclusion, I will probably carry 'experiencing' PP for a few weeks and then ignore it in favour of what really matters: flipping systems. Indeed, I am rather hoping lots of Imperial/Federal Commanders spend time on the PP side show whilst I flip systems to the Alliance.
But to that end I have questions:
- Are there any Alliance focused groups in the Upper Spinward area (Loperada, Morrina area)?
- Is there a way to help an Alliance focused party appear as one of the five current vying powers in a given system, if there is not one already?
- What are the best methods of helping an Alliance fraction in a given system?
Actually, can any one link me a good general guide to system flipping?

I took the plunge and have pledged to Mahon. I got to deliver some papers for him, yay. Turned out to not be as dull as it sounds though. A couple of wings of NPCs didn't want them delivered and those NPCs have been working out. With the improvements in rendering, (which mean I can use higher settings and still have a smoother game) I think I approve of 1.3. I'm not worried about my rank so it's not going to turn in to a grind. When I got board of delivering papers I did a bit of bounty hunting.
It has been suggested that we could do with another Alliance power with more exciting missions. Personally I would like Mahon to provide more exciting missions. Having just one ALiiance power is an advantage over the Federation and Empire. We all work together while they struggle internally as well as against us.
One concern I do have is that I have heard that the wars that were going on have all stopped now, and I have not heard of any new ones. Could this be a result of powerplay? I haven't confirmed this yet, so have not altered the info in the OP, but if anyone has first hand knowledge of wars beginning, ending or ongoing, please let me know.

My own outfit. Nice.
Although there won't be anything rapid about my response mind you
Find an appropriate word, (beginning with R), and I'll swap it out for you

*lol*
Darn...
Having seen Bamileng making actual progress after the V1.3 update, I decided to join Sanctuary to finish what we started.
Turns out a High Intensity Conflict Zone is a bad place to realize your HOTAS just broke
Anyway, managed to dock & park the Ship, now off to aquire a new one...
If you have a new HOTAS I'll try and join you there this evening. After delivering a few VERY important papers of coarse
*lol*

I'm headed to Bamileng right now so could wing up later if you want. I currently docked - my ship might be fully fuelled but I'm definitely not.
More stints at Bamileng-A-Ding-Dong ... I hope what I'm seeing is genuine if albeit slow progress.....
Crimson Fortune & Co. ........... UP >>> 15%
Bamileng Syndicate ............... DOWN >>> 12%
EDIT June 8th :
More pew..pew..pew
Crimson Fortune & Co. ........... UP >>> 16%
Bamileng Syndicate ............... DOWN >>> 12%
June 9th
3 stints today at Bamilenga - Ding - Dong 4,624,000 in Bonds and still the same
Crimson Fortune & Co. ........... UP >>> 16%
Bamileng Syndicate ............... DOWN >>> 12%
Are the figures updated immediately or at the end of the day....or when?
EDIT: Thank you to CMDR FalconFly for taking the heat of my back as I made a dignified retreat from the Bamileng CZ....

Ok..thanks.
I'm taking a well-earned break at the cafe in Ponce de Leon. Be out in the black later this evening.
I have to say this Station needs upgrading! The coffee is some Arcturian Instant crap and the doughnuts are dry!

We should have a preferred skin too. I'm thinking polar camo
Might be useful when flying in wings, (or just in the same instance), to help avoid friendly fire, but would have to be one of the Tactical or Vibrant colours as they are the only ones available to all ships. (The Vulture for instance

Good plan. Personally I vote for the Vibrant pack's Blue - closest to Alliance colour and stands out better than the tactical ones, which just don't seem different enough (at least in the store - in-game screenshots may show the colours better). The Polar Camo looks decent but it's only available for the Cobra, Eagle and Sidewinder.
I could really do with an Alliance insignia decal too.

Another vote for Blue from me.
Checked out the colours available...the Vulture ( unless I missed it) seems to have been rather neglected.
I have to say..I do like the Polar Camo as well.
EDIT: My God!!! We are the fearless warriors of A.R.C. ... What the hell are we discussing ship colours for!!!!!????
