I don't understand what you mean. NO one who is neutral with us undermines us.

So basically - the galaxy decided anyone can expand when they want apart from Archon...
It's a joke in Mahon. That undermining is while we are neutral with all powers, on paper.
Ohhhhhhh. Yeah, that's the way the galaxy works man. The only person open about war is Archon. Everyone else is a back stabbing jerk.

Ahhh come on, Winters is much more Front-stabby than Back-stabby.
Martin Schou has completed his "waste" analysis too, which is always good to look at to see how effective all the merits were

You can see the precision attack Torval received with much less wastage.

Hey not everyone.....
WHat are the actual diploatic relationships to other powers? Is Delaine hostile to everyone? (I mean from his own perspective)
No, as far as Power Play is concerned the Kumo Crew are hostile only to the Empire. Lore wise that may be different but there are many PP powers that don't go by lore.
Okey, that explains a thing.
(Ally up with the Federation and let's show the empire that they are not the strongest power!)
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so forgive me if not. I'm interested in defecting to Delaine his weekend and then want to rush to level 5 over the next few days. I'm happy to pay to do so and I want to try and make a difference in PP as much as one person really can.
im still getting to grips with the ins and outs of PP and have some questions regarding Delaine in particular if anyone can help me with them. Firstly what is the best way to make credits in a helpful manner? Is combat oriented PP with Delaine viable? I'm not particularly bothered if the rank 5 bonus isn't as useful as others from a money making standpoint. However are there any advantages that you all make use of from this? I'd love to play as a pirate assassin if possible and can see the no fines / bounties bonus helping with the 'kill authority / traded ship' missions. Would you say this is viable?
I guess I'm interested to learn how you make use of being pledged to Delaine and for those of you who are level five how you manage to maintain this rank in the most beneficial way. Cheers in advance for any guidance you can provide. Hope to see you all out there.

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this so forgive me if not. I'm interested in joining Delaine and then rushing to rating 5. I'm happy to pay to do so but Im still getting to grips wit PP and I have a few questions if anyone here could help me with them. I'm wondering what is the best way to make merits in a useful manner? Is combat oriented PP viable with Delaine at all? Also how do you all make use of his fine / bounty reduction bonus? I'd love to play a pirate assassin and could see the bonus being useful for the kill traders / authority ships missions. In your experience is this a viable means of utilising Delaine in a profitable manner? I'd be really interested in learning how you all make use of his bonus and also how you maintain your PP rating in a beneficial way. Cheers in advance for the guidance.

Smuggling is how I make money.
(forget what the descriptions tell you on the PP screen about weapons and slaves) Narcotics and Tobacco are legal in all our control systems, and are sold in agricultural stations with a 5% discount.
Our exploited systems do not change the legality of these good, so usually (unless its anarchy or dictatorship) Narcotics and Tobacco are illegal there, and our exploited systems get a 10% bonus to black market prices.
There are many smuggling runs where you can make over 2000cr per ton for narcotics 1 jump away, and maybe 500 - 1200 per ton on the return trip.
You can also go to Torval space (LTT 8517 for example) and buy Imperial slaves at a 10% discount (her bonus) and then sell them in one of our exploited systems with a 10% increase in price, this allows profits of over 4000 per ton, but you will have 3 or more jumps to do, and usually there is nothing to sell on the return trip.
Our expansions are through combat, if you have enough time, a combination of fortifying, expanding (if we have a viable target) and undermining will allow you to maintain a rating of 5.
Cheers fergal, that's very helpful. I like the idea of making money smuggling in Delaine exploited systems. Even with the recent nerfs I believe you can still make a decent amount in a fully speced trade Conda this way? What sort of profit margins per hour are you used to? Also do you see many combat oriented missions in Delaine space? I'll def head over to the relevant reddit page to ensure my efforts will actually prove to be helpful. Hope to see you out there.

Doesn't look too bad, I'll be fast tracking a few thousand this week as I've not had time to get my merits the usual way.
Also welcome back geoffrey, did you have a good holiday?
Hey hey, a cruise to the Carribean can be nothing but good!
Now back to work...and back to my HOTAS!
I also plan to fast-track since I have only 3 days to score 5000 merits to maintain my rank 5...bring out the slaaaaves!
Looks like Geoffrey has kept you updated with Fortification etc. Thank you! Real life has had me really busy the last few days. I also want to update you all on my current status. I posted this to reddit a short while ago.
Hi guys, my publishers have me writing a new novel and I need an additional 50,000 words by Christmas. I say "have" loosely, since I really enjoy the process. The result though, is that I need to step back from the amount of involvement I currently have with the Kumo Crew. I will still be in game, and I'll still be commenting on reddit and frontier from time to time. I won't have the time to be running threads etc. though. Consider this a 'heads up'.
Now for a shameless plug. If you do like fantasy YA then you can check out my current work over at www.theworldofpangea.com. It's not classic fantasy so if you're looking for something as detailed as Lord Of The Rings or Game of Thrones then this isn't it - but it is a good fantasy in it's own right. It combined the classic approach with a more fast pace, targeted at a younger audience.
See you out there guys!
