Whatever Galnet might claim, Aisling (+5, 1666) achieved almost complete victory in the Maityan CG with contributions more than a billion ahead of the combined scores of the opposition. Gondul was regained in the second week. It never was “a viable foothold” for Sirius Corporation, being more than 30LY from Li Yong’s nearest stronghold.
Daikulcandi and Rho Tucanae, also attacked by LYR, ended the CG as fortified. LTT 7509 ended massively fortified, and the other Federal target LHS 6031 as a stronghold. Only Santy, where John Archer was able to benefit from his combat bonus, was lost. A huge thanks to all contributors from this Power and beyond for grinding out Power CZs against hardy NPCs, and fighting PVP battles.
Despite these distractions Aisling made modest gains including Aine, Peraesii and Pictavul. HIP 115929 and HIP 65174 also made stronghold status, while Hernkopa and HIP 29094 were fortified. Less encumbered, Aunty Arissa (+11, 1491) led the pack and emerged as our main rival in Gondul. At last, she exploited Hunza by agreement with us. President Winters (+10, 632) had a good week, while Antal (+7, 856) shared 3rd with Kaine (+7, 841).
Dissatisfied with the amount of undermining in PP2.0, FDev opted to automate it. We share Antal’s Cmdr Purrfect’s disgust at the new decay mechanic, which ”wastes contributions and devalues player autonomy.” This has cost Aisling an estimated 17.9 million CPs already, breaking the cardinal BGS/PP principle that player actions shape the politics of the galaxy, while obscuring any actual attacks.
FDev should work on viable UM gameplay rather than this disrespect to what players have built. We are not short of ideas, should they ask. NPC murder? Passenger missions? Reinstating the old, sociable, NAV combat? Anyway, enjoy trying your new frag cannons against any Panther Clipper Mk2s you might see, and have fun out there.
Objectives for Cycle 529/2.38 (until July 24th)
