Ahoy Crew!
Focus and more focus, there are no distractions for the Kumo Crew, not even in this really hot (at least on this side of the World) summer. However, a good frozen cocktail served at the Wise Sharks tavern in Harma is always a must have. Don't miss it! The next Frontier Unlocked is scheduled for July 31st, there are no details on the topics, but we will probably talk about the news coming soon... release of the Python Mk2 for all players and the release of the new Type-8 (maybe with some pre-built kits in exchange for ARX on the Frontier store).
We hope there is some more information on Powerplay 2.0 e.g. what will happen to the modules and the BGS, and things like that. As we've pointed out so many times, we'd be happy to have a gameplay where powerplayers will not be involved anymore in the micro-management of factions/PMFs and their BGS. Not that we don't like it, but having this scaled up to powerplay numbers isn't that profitable in the long run.
Anyway... coming to our business, the pressure on The Razor Whips continues to be high (we can't say the same about the enemies encountered/engaged in open play, since as of today we are at about zero) but after Deive, they were once again kicked out from Harma (
On the fortifications side, the last Cycle closed in line with the previous one (14 systems and just under 1k CCs) even if we slipped back to last place in the Powers ranking. This is because the grannie Torval has bypassed us with the expansion to Chang O... while the blue-haired damsel Duval this cycle tries again for Bero and in the last one successfully nailed one at Maidubrigel (the bear Grom didn't make it to Cashibo). The Sirius technocrat, on the other hand, is not doing that well, given that with only 7 fortified systems he has closed the Cycle to a small handful of CCs... until next time!
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: 968 (+27)
