Do we really want Kachirigin right now?
I know I'm the one who was pushing for it, but that was when we were desperate for any system.
I think it would be best to leave it, and prep it again, because of its excellent ratio it can always be a backup for when we are in trouble.
Asvienses has a ratio of 3 to 1 in our favor, and it is currently on 223% to 156%. They were on 130% yesterday. Its the Empires main focus at the moment, its got 8 billion Imperial citizens in that system.
It also eats into Patreuses territory.
Hiranyaksha is on 114% to 31%. Our enemies were on about 4% yesterday, so have been attacking it hard.
This also has a favorable ratio of over 2 to 1 to us.
For those of us expanding, I think we should focus our attention to these 2 systems. The only thing to watch out for is what happened last cycle. They keeps a heap of merits back until the end of the cycle to steal the system from us.
*edit, looks like there is another bug against us

Although we need to go to combat zones and kill military ships for 1 merit each, anyone opposing our expansions can just kill transports at 15 merits each.
This is probably why we failed to expand last cycle. 15 to 1 against us is pretty harsh.

"We've also figured out how we're going to measure victory progress.and a after week report will be listed Thursday afternoon."
I will be interested in their report on how they failed to push us into turmoil
Please keep fortifying our systems, but even if we stop right now, and everything of ours is undermined we are guaranteed (under the current system which FD may change at any time) to no fall into turmoil.

I won't let them win. It's a long way to go but we can do it.
Yeah, I just posted on our reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/kumocrew/comments/3dd2db/asvienses_is_getting_pushed_by_our_enemies/
Asvienses went up about 4000 kills in the last few hours for them. They are obviously using the same exploit they used last week. Not much we can do until FD acknowledges it.
Its 224% to 172%, they need another 5200 kills to over take us, or only 350 kills with the exploit, so its pretty close.
Hiranyaksha (its a good one to spell) is on 114% to 33%, but they were on 4% yesterday.
Thats 4000 kills (without exploiting) they did in 10 hours, they need another 8000 in the next 21 hours to over take us, so it will be close too.
If you want to help kick out the Stormtroopers, help is needed at the Resistance Pockets.
We will only go into turmoil if our over all cc goes negative.
Right now if everything stays the same we will be on 925cc plus whatever we got for our expansions (less their upkeep)
If we do no more fortifying and every system of ours is undermined we will have 110cc.
We only need to fortify 5 outlying systems that get undermined each week to stop turmoil.
My thoughts are we want as few systems as possible, more systems just gives us more to fortify, which isn't a fun task.
It's always worked this way so is perhaps intended. Yes it is harsh - killing a military Elite Anaconda for 1 point is very unbalanced compared to killing a wing of a hauler and 2 sidewinders for 45 points.
For anyone actually interested, our overhead costs are 208 and our upkeep costs for all of our Control Systems are 418.
When a Control System is undermined we pay its upkeeps costs, plus lose its income. Thats what the number is that you see next to "cost if undermined".
So our total costs are 208 + 418 = 626. We need to make sure we fortify enough Control Systems to give us over 626.
Nltt 53690, Lusonda, Arawere and Ngbato earn us 567cc.
We also get 86cc from Harma (which can't be undermined or fortified) so these 5 systems together give us 653. More than our expenses.
Any extra systems of ours that don't get undermined gives us more cc. As long as we fortify Nltt 53690, Lusonda, Arawere and Ngbato we will not fall into Turmoil.

Last cycle, in Matheli, I am told the opposition went up over 100% in the last moments. We can be pretty sure they are sitting on merits again this week so we really need some substantial margins if we are going to take any of these. We basically have very little idea what the actual score is until the tick.
You do bring up a good point, I just don't want to let it go right now...
I personally don't want to give the ALD players a reason to celebrate or be encouraged for next week...

Sure, we might make use of those tactics soon.
Updated for 7/15
Message to CODE:
I supported you when the Mercs of Mikunn did their thing.
Now you are doing the same?
No honour among thieves?

I'm not part of CODE but... huh? o.0
Please contact me in PM, I am uncertain what player group you represent nor what dispute you have with my syndicate.
As it stands, you are merely here to create unnecessary drama by bringing private affairs unnecessarily into public, which I will ignore if no further contact is made in a private setting or explicit information is revealed.
Edit:
This is pure speculation, but if you are possibly talking about 5th Column, no one in Code, to my knowledge, is participating in any kind of activity similar to 5th Column to another power. While there are Code members that do not fly Archon's flag, it does not change the principle that the Code does not participate in 5th Column.
2nd Edit:
Confirming that no PM/private contact was made, ignoring this accusation as trolling.

About 20 mins until the cycle clicks over.
Whats the deal with 44 g. aquilae? Its got very good income, but is crazy far from our capital.
Is this something we are going to try to expand next cycle?
I haven't really looked around for more systems to prepare.
Hip 114702 is an agricultural system not to far away that should give us some nice narcotics and tobacco (As all Agricultural stations seem to)
Ts'In Gu is another close agricultural system that didn't get prepared for us this cycle.
The only other system types I see as beneficial are Patronage (because they tend to have imperial slaves, and help our expansion triggers) and anywhere anyone can find that actually sells Slaves.
Communist, Cooperative and Confederacy give us fortification bonuses (which we really want) but these systems seem very rare.
I will try to look to see if there are any that have a large station close to their star that are near us.
