Ahoy Crew!
We are humans, and this week we are sad. With a broken heart, we say fair winds a friend who flew among the stars, a fellow wingmate in so many fun times and we couldn't forget the crazy posts about his bizarre cuisine... fair winds we say, fair winds SERIALKILLA.
Moving on to lighter things, the Cycle passed without too much annoyance. We've gotten used to it by now... to those who hide and bask in their BGS thinking that they'll win something (but they're just wasting time) and to those who believe that we care something about what they do in their Galaxy of unicorns and rainbows. As we also said last week: we have already gone further, we have left you only our indifference. When you find the courage to show up again, you know where to find us...
Version 18.05 of the game was also released this week, finally fixing the issue we had been reporting about for some time that was affecting new Odyssey players at Chamberlain's Rest (HIP 97950). Since all the credit goes to us and our fellow homies who have supported us all this time, we believe new players can honor our and theirs commitment by returning to Chamberlain's Rest once they've made their first high wake to unlock the full game.
Not much else happened in the Galaxy, the expansions (Torval and Winters) were easily stopped and the sweet aunt Felicia launched four (although not very attractive) for this Cycle: Bero, Chang O, HIP 58986, HIP 39528. Anyway, we closed the Cycle with 17 systems fully fort'ed (back in line with our historical average) and a nice amount of CCs to CONSOLIDATE.
FOR THE ARCHON!!!
1-HOW/WHERE TO CONTACT (AND JOIN) US
The Kumo Crew only supports the LIVE MODE of Elite Dangerous.
You can either join our Discord Server and/or our one and only official KUMO CREW [KUMO] Squadron (INARA KUMO CREW).
1a - WHY SHOULD YOU DO IT?
Easy said: no bounties for Archon Delaine pledged CMDRs with Rating 5 and most importantly it's fun to be the bad guys (and we are quite the lovely guys to, if you are not too savoury). Anyway, if you don't want to shoot/pillage stuff with us...
2-HOW TO VOTE
For this Cycle vote: CONSOLIDATION.
3-WHERE TO GET HAULING MERITS
You will find hauling targets for Fortifications in our Discord Server, for Preparations >>>GUNAYEB<<< and any spare materials can be safely delivered to >>>PANDINUS<<<.
Please even if they are not the most easy targets do not overfortify already (100%) fortified systems (this doesn't offer any advantage to the systems), stick to our planning and possibly contribute for your quota early in the cycle.
4-BACKGROUND SIMULATION
The Kumo Crew only supports these governments: CONFEDERACY, COOPERATIVE and COMMUNISM.
And no, we do not support Anarchy government type (it's about game mechanics and not giving our tasty Rating 5 bonus to everybody). Bottom line: all our CMDRs with Rating 5 have the whole Archon Delaine's domain at their disposal, not risking any security/bounty/fine constrains (even in ground operations!). Quick access to Archon Delaine's conflicts: INARA Archon Delaine.
4a - LOOKIN' TO ADOPT A PMF?
If you are looking to manage and build up your own "player managed faction" (PMF), feel free to contact us as we have identified a number of Archon Delaine's favourable "abandoned PMFs". Some of them are in control of a bunch of systems, others have only their HQ and hence they have to start everything from scrap. We encourage and support cooperation with players' groups within our space, when our interests match.
4b - RUNNIN' A DELAINE'S PLEDGED / PIRACY SQUADRON?
Don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like to be part of the biggest "criminal cartel" in the Galaxy... we can share the best trade routes where to rob haulers, systems where to commit crimes, support in case of need [cops are tackling ya?] and so on... you'd be enjoying the fun of winging up with other criminals like you aARRRRRRR!!!
5-UNDERMINING AND EXPANSIONS?
About that... we're not sharing valuable information where our enemies can find it, so these kind of low profile/swift/stealth operations will remain a secret for people in our Discord Server only.
AVAILABLE CC: 1070 (-126)
