Are anyones control system rewards working atm?

CATPAIN KIRK · Jun 7, 2015

Just wondering if they've all been disabled.

To cut it short, Torvals control system bonus (-20% on imperial slaves) is not applied and it has been erased from the stats tab.

As a matter of fact, agricultural imperial high population systems that usually sell slaves at high supply for under 15500 Cr are still doing so - except if they happen to be held by Torval as control systems. In that case they cost close to 17k - something I'd be happy to accept as a selling price - most ridiculous prices I've ever encountered, trading in slaves since they were introduced as a commodity in PB.

Judging from Torvals 20% slave discount that eventually kicked in way after the Torval/Aisling CG was finished, I should buy them at around 14k and make around 3.5k Cr/t trading slaves from control systems on a mediocre route and quite clearly, the opposite is the case.

So I checked a couple of other factions and noticed their control system effects aren't displayed anymore as well - have they all been removed?

Dunno about all others, but Archon works definetly. At least the 20% Black Market profit increase. The whole thing seems a bit buggy to me. Lots of stuff missing. The discount for Torval is not even shown at the moment.

Most exploited stats have been blank for me all day, figured it was just broken.

I picked up my Imperial Courier in the first controlled Torval shipyard I visited. And the clipper was there too..... so that bonus is working.

Is the 20% profit increase for Archon still shown? (Can't check atm - busy).

It's hardly an exploit if it's the only boon rendering a faction viable. PP certainly is broken, but in this case I suspect certain groups mass-reporting it as an exploit to cripple a disliked faction from the start as a possibility.

Well - not too unlikely to find those in an imperial system considering it isn't displayed anymore as well. Having flwon both, I wouldn't consider it an advantage either way.

"Exploited" is the term used in-game to describe a system being, well, exploited by a power.

Thanks for pointing it out - I misunderstood (apologies to Stalker). However I was exclusively mentioning control system effects.

Not to mention capital system effects. Synteini has an imperial slave retraining facility, yet doesn't accept unregulated slaves since the CG ended and has the lowest supply, most highly priced imp slaves I've ever encountered in the game and not a single valuable resource to export.

I like a challenge, but I guess MB is dead set to want me as his wingman

Li Yong-Rui bonuses working fine, a bit too well actually - 15% module discount also seems to apply to all ships too lol

Cheers - good to see they're mixing up ± on all fronts, Dalek or not.

What's the current status on imperial slaves in Torval's control systems?
I checked at Synteini and they're really cheap but supply is very low (17 tonnes).
I was hoping to be able to ship 450 to a nearby system...

Well Arissa Lavigny-Duval's bounty bonuses are definitely working. I'll leave other to figure out just how much of a bonus we're getting (Hint it's significantly more than just 50%).
