PREPARATION & FORTIFICATION PRIORITIES



28 January 3302

Research is delighted with the results from last week! Four systems revolted from the Emperor's network of patronage support: Candecama, He Xingo, Yao Tzu, and Rurema. These distant and sparsely populated systems cost the Emperor a balance of 182 Command Capital. Not to mention our Senators allied to her cause gained influence from the dozen contested systems out by Nueva Hispaña. Efforts from commanders across the Empire achieved this glorious result for the betterment of nearly all Imperial power brokers.

Even with the loss of systems to revolt, the galactic standing of the Emperor has risen from the results seven days ago. The People's Princess still edges the Emperor out in popularity, even with protests breaking out amongst the Tsanla Empire Party and the HIP 116045 Empire League. Senator Torval's standing fell, with messages from Secoya's Emperor's Grace, the New HIP 107936 Front, and rising anarchic faction out of Wolfberg, the Smiling Dog Crew all protesting the Senator's plans and disruptions in Torval Security's prisoner transfer operations.

Shadow President Winters once again is forcing her liberal agenda onto Amuzgo Gold Netcoms Incorporated. All combat pilots loyal to the Emperor are asked to participate in attacking their supply lines and undermining their expansion efforts in system. Other expansions may be ruffling feathers of allies and friends, but Amuzgo has the potential to carve a 15Ly swath through the spheres of influence around Cerni and CD-49 3617.

The bounce back from deficit is minor, leaving Kamadhenu 118cc to spend for the week. Many of the profitable preparation targets in the past are above this cost, so Research does not have a profitable (above 62cc) system ready for preparation. There are quite a few recent preparation systems that are close enough and not horrible enough to be options, but if anyone has found a system with greater than 62cc Potential Profit and an Expansion Cost 118 or lower, let us know and we'll spread the word. Otherwise, a preparation post will follow shortly.

This is one of the best results that Kamadhenu has seen in weeks, if not months, so take a breath, you've earned it. For those of y'all paying attention, the Fortification Tracker has been difficult to access recently. Research is going to alter access and control of the Fortification Tracker, in an effort to make sure editors get the access they need.

Let's make sure we don't increase our standing deficit of Command Capital.

EDIT: To that end, a few industrious pilots have created a Prepare & Profit for Waimiri with multiple trade route options for maximising profits and delivering corruption reports to Waimiri.

It's been nearly a month since Winters took control of HIP 44811, so their pilots probably have a war chest of credits to throw at the cause. Thankfully, opposition in Amuzgo will not cost anything except time and daring.

Good luck and godspeed, commanders.

What system should we vote for expansion ?

I'm wondering why only 2 profitable systems (Heilelang, Waimiri) are presented.
Most others will provide deficits. Is it a strategy ? Is it the work of fifth column ?

It would be a shame if HIP 21991 was to be elected for expansion : 8 profits compared to 59 for Waimiri and 57 for Heilelang.
It would be easy to undermine it to make us loose CC.

After the 62.1cc of Overhead per system is calculated, none of them are profitable systems. Waimiri is the best of worse options, and Waimiri, Neites, and Heilelang are all favourable to HIP 21991. Heilelang may face opposition because The Imperial Inquisition (TIIQ) out of Brestla does not wish to be exploited by the Emperor. HIP 21991 is the Reign of Annihilation home system, though I believe there is a slightly better Control System option 14Ly from HIP 21991, which would fortify HIP 21991 and its pristine metallic ring.
 
I also think Waimiri is the best option : It is located very far from any other power and it is in our teritory.

Why TIIQ wouldn't want Heilelang to be ruled by an Empire power ?!

Waimiri is the best of worse options, and Waimiri, Neites, and Heilelang are all favourable to HIP 21991.
I don't understood the meaning of that sentence, because Waimiri, Heilelang are not in the same region at all.
Do you meant that Waimiri, Neites and Heilelang are preferable over HIP 21991 ?

HIP 21991 is the Reign of Annihilation home system
Do you mean that this choice will put us in turmoil again ?

though I believe there is a slightly better Control System option 14Ly from HIP 21991, which would fortify HIP 21991 and its pristine metallic ring.
Why do you want to secure a pristine metallic ring. What gains would that offer ? As far as i know it won't provide more CC for a power, more Cr for a miner.

Thank you for all your explanation again !

Fantastic work from the number crunchers to achieve this result.

I'm currently learning how to operate a frame shift interdictor to increase my contribution beyond a few t of fortification goods and now it appears I have a good system to practice in!
 
I have seen little movement in imperial Amuzgo. Federal corvettes wings abound in the area, under federal flag. I will connect tonight to see if I have dinner pie corvette.

They issued a statement recently claiming that the Emperor is weak with a woman as Emperor. That's direct from their female High Inquisitor.

Do you meant that Waimiri, Neites and Heilelang are preferable over HIP 21991 ?

Yes.

Do you mean that this choice will put us in turmoil again ?

I mean that it would increase our deficit by around 50cc when we decreased by 182cc at great cost to our SCRAP team. It would not immediately put us into Turmoil, but if it winds up as our Preparation system, our SCRAP team will put us into Turmoil to be ride of it.

There is no benefit to our Power's economic state, and bounty hunting players should see the same results in any HazRes, but miners who are pledged to ALD can get extensive CMDR bounty hunting support and mine at the most rewarding locations for mining in the game.
 
Surely the priority at the moment should be to ensure we build a more healthy and sustainable CC balance? before we look at targeting systems of that nature?

Yes. Surely. Which is why the main suggested Preparation is Waimiri.

The point of my comments is explaining available options and reasons why someone or a player group might do one thing or another.
 
That is utterly stupid.
There is no gender in Elite Dangerous. It's just an avatar. Putting a male avatar instead wouldn't change the fact that our Empire is split in 3 and we fight more on each other than against other powers.

In addition you don't pledge to a power for it's gender but for the benefits provided.

Arissa Lavigny Duval is mostly chosen for it's bounty bonus.

Maybe it makes sense to them - TIIQ seem to be trying to insert their own Warhammer 40k inspired themes into their Group Lore - basically ignoring the established ED lore about the real Empire in our Galaxy.

Well this game has nothing to do with Elite Dangerous and acting against current power is like working for the 5th column !

The Imperial Senate has declared the Emperor is male, regardless of the circumstances of his birth.

That's...not exactly what they did. They declared that her title is Emperor, but they haven't declared that Arissa is male.

It's like a declaration that everyone who acts is an actor, and there are no actresses, or a board of shareholders explicitly deciding that anyone who holds the position is a Chairman of the Board, even if it's a woman.

Quick question, in the fortification tracker excel sheet, what do those arrows mean in the column next to some of our systems? (in this case, Ngarawe, Damoorai, Binjia, Xinca, and LTT 2667)
