Powerplay Faction: Arissa Lavigny-Duval Cycle 37 - Fortification Priorities [Updated Frequently]

r4pt012 · Feb 11, 2016

Greetings commanders,

We're in turmoil this cycle - It's going to be another fortification cycle.

Damoorai, Kappa and Olelbis are the systems on the verge of revolt.

Fortification:

All done for now. Check back every so often for more updates.
Please do not fortify any more system unless instructed.
If you still need merits, check out the combat priorities.

Cycle Priorities

Fortification Tracker

Preparation

As we are in turmoil, we are unable to deliver our corruption reports. Preparation is not available this cycle.

Fly safe commanders,

ARISSA INVICTA

Note that it is especially important to complete the '1 tonne test' (aka delivering 1 tonne from your load and checking the numbers) when delivering supplies to Olelbis, Kappa and Damoorai. These system will show fortification as '0' due to a bug. It's not until you actually deliver supplies that up-to-date information is shown. The system may be already fortified when you arrive!

Thanks for that tip. Shatrites has the same problem.

I believe all systems do. Most systems are out of date by a little bit, and refresh hourly or something like that, but turmoil systems never update.

The fact that we are in turmoil again, does that means we are going to loose all our expansion system again Oo ?!

I don't understand how we didn't fortified those system, instead of over fortifying other system for preparation...
I warned about it, too late, at the end, and we didn't had enought time to finish fortifying them.

I don't understand how some system went into turmoil when the enemy didn't even reached their requiered level last time i checked.

We lost Waimiri, which just means we can secure it again later. If we end in turmoil again, then yes, we will lose the expansions.

Preparation was not "over fortified". Mostly because that is impossible, and secondly because the last minute preparation runs were necessary to make sure we had the Expansion list we currently have. True, it still has Brestla and Bragur, but we threw everything we could to keep Brestla off the list.

Thank you for the warning. I knew we had left ourselves open for sniping, but I didn't call for a last minute fortification push that we should have had, at least with our top earning systems like Damoorai and Tujing. I'll see how we can keep a better eye on it via the Cycle Priorities sheet and its automated prioritization.

The merits were turned in during the last ten minutes before the cycle flipped, and the display simply didn't update. There has always been a delay, thankfully it is smaller than it used to be.

Kappa is done.

I'm not sure how often Raptor will be able to update the OP, but the Fortification Tracker and the Cycle Priorities are being updated with your notifications.

Thank you for letting us know.

Bit of a newbie here... I struggle to understand the fortification table... and the mechanism... is there a point in fortifying something that is over 100% undermined? I currently have 200 Garrison Supplies in my hold and want to take it somewhere where it will count. Sorry for the stupid question... if there are instructions anywhere I Will happily read... just need pointing the the right direction

Once a system's Fortification has reached 100% of its Success Trigger, there is zero benefit to delivering more cargo. Let us know if a system on the Cycle Priorities or the Fortification Tracker is reading inaccurately.

Doomwatcher · Feb 14, 2016

Thanks I got that

but what if it is over 100% undermined? Like HIP 35246... can it be saved?

When it comes to Fortification, if both (fortification and undermining) success triggers are reached, the status becomes "Canceled," and we pay the default Upkeep for the system.

So, yes, it most definitely can be saved.

It is in Expansion systems where the highest percentage wins.

Awesome... thanks... delivery on the way

FDL with 4 imperial hammers = 200 damage per shot, 3 shots in ~4 secs = good bye shields

Very nasty PvP build.

Question : I farmed merits in CZ in Bragur from my souvenir BEFORE patching and then today, when I am connecting it seems I cannot give them back. Is it normal ?

I am sitting on a lot of merits and I am scared to move station (Shajin Market) as I don t want to loose everything.

Joey2o15 · Feb 17, 2016

You should be able to hand in the merits at Shajin it's a control system. Try exiting the game and reloading.
