But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!

Is that how kids call them nowadays?

You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done.

Lets not forget to fortify.
We only have 1 of the 9 systems we need fortified.

Ngbato 22%
Comanga 3%
LTT16548 14%
Halbangaay 14%
Arawere 32%
San Muss 14%
Matucanth 75%
Lusonda 35%

I'm also behind schedule (over 1000 slaves not delivered last week) since I focused on undermining ALD for some reasons...
I'm back on track from today and should be able to deliver about 1000 per day.

Now if fortification still does not look good by Wednesday, I hope some of our rank 5 will be willing to spend their salary to fast-track. I'm kinda broke this cycle and will have to strip down some components from my Battleconda to get the money but, oh well, you are an Archon or your are not, right?

 

[Falkrum]

Focusing on Lusanda right now.

 

[Cliffson]

I'm AFK-grinding LTT16548. Should be able to put a fair amount of it in myself by Wednesday night.

Fingers crossed 1.4 update doesn't break the network and we end up in turmoil.

1.4 will bring CQC tomorrow...for those who have not tried the beta version, it is a lot of fun and pretty addicting...
...so here is a way to enjoy CQC while not bringing turmoil to your favorite power...

1) Park your ship, with large cargo racks, at one of our priority controlled systems.
2) Collect your allotment of marked slaves.
3) Launch CQC and get a blast for no more then 30 minutes!
4) Go back to the main game, collect your next allotment.
[Repeat steps 3-4 until your cargo hold is full.]
5) Fly to Harma and deliver the slaves.
[Go back to step 1]

Thank you!

I have about 5-10 million worth saved up for fortification. It's not a lot but should get 1 system done.

 

[fergal]

I'll make sure Arawere get finished off then start on san muss or cormanga, whichever one needs the most.

 

[Mikalus]

Server downtime tomorrow bites into a huge chunk of my playable time. I usually have an hour or so in the mornings on Tuesday, but looks like not this week

Fortification Update - we need you focussed on this.

Also, things aren't looking great in Mandii.

Damn, I could not play yesterday evening...and now the server is still down...
Also, wondering what Power Play changes are being brought by 1.4 (collapse mechanism?)...I'm kinda afraid for our Lord...

Hey, looks like Code has its own faction / home system now?
Well, at least, if Archon collapses, we know what to do

 

[geoffrey.hdt]

Server update has completed.
Back to business folks

EDIT: Mmmh...not really actually...keep getting disconnected...

 

[geoffrey.hdt]

WHAT THE HELL!!?

Wasn't Gliese 828.4 worth 62cc before upgrade to 1.4?
It's now -23cc!!! EDIT: Sure, must be a bug, even its value is only 23cc...but knowing FD, this bug is likely not to be resolved on time...
And Devana, worth 1cc is on second position...



Taking into account that Mandii is definitely going to be expanded, am I right when I wish we hit a gentle turmoil next cycle to avoid all this mess?

Currently, October 6th, 3:45pm CST, we are at -116cc:

Having major issues with the patch today. Can't seem to resolve them yet. I've updated the reddit fortification list and we have Geoff's here and Fang's on the 1st page when he checks it out. Unless we hear otherwise we are still on for fortifying what we need and little time to do it.

 

[Mikalus]

For those who have patched: is the rumor of the dying slave trade true?

Oh no, whats happened with the slave trade?

 

[geoffrey.hdt]

Damn, went to fight at Wolf 1148...since 1.4 update:
- no more Eagles at the resistance pockets...
- new powerplant damage = I got only one Anaconda popping with 40% hull...
- lasers not that efficient against powerplant...multi-cannon much better...
- NPCs use chaff way more often, and SCB often and a bit sooner...
=> Much more challenging (yeepee! Thank you SJA!) but also less than 900 merits in about 2 hours with my Battleconda... If we want to win Wolf, we'd better be brave. :-/

To to remain on the side of the bad news, we have enough CC surplus from last cycle awesome fortification and can prepare 5 systems:
- Gliese is bugged at -23cc...
- Jormor is the only good at 58cc...
- Devana is at 1cc...
- Evejitaka is at 28cc...
- and Binjhwarku at -7cc
=> Kind of a dream situation for our beloved 5th columnists...wondering if the great fortification from last cycle is not from them as well...

Yeah, some things seem really screwy.

As for slave trade - I just saw a post saying profits had halved. It could have been down to government change etc. I have no idea. I haven't been able to log on and try the Lusonda route to see for myself.

Lusonda has a civil war state active, which lowers the wealth rating of the system and it should be what's affecting the prices.
