Rats all my typing just disappeared. Firstly many apologies Villeruff if I appear to be waffling, unfortunately medication is playing havoc with the old grey matter. Your link made me smile when it talks about the time of the tick. Are they serious??
Red arrow.
Hopefully I have always made it clear that this indicator was something I always took npote of prior to this update.
When checking a faction on our right-hand MFd this little arrow showed if influence had been added in the last 24hrs. If this arrow was red then the influence of that faction was in decline, it might not drop a percent, and I guess this was more likely on larger populated systems but I watched this arrow like a hawk if I was working on booting out a faction from a system I was interested in. If this arrow went blue?? (not 100% certain of that colour) then I KNEW with 100% accuracy that the system I was interested in would NOT retreat. If I could keep it red, then that faction would retreat. I say this based only on my experience. Thinking back I have personally shifted about half a dozen factions out of system I had an interest in. YES there were times when it needed two or maybe three attempts to boot a faction, but it always worked in the way I have described. The level of influence was really academic. Once in retreat, no matter what its percentage, I had to keep that influence from improving, and without a shadow of a doubt even if the retreat stayed at 1.5%, if that arrow on just one 24hr period turned blue, then the retreat was never going to be achieved. I have NO IDEA if that arrow is still operational or if the same experience will work.
Now an annoying experince.
You asked me a question so I just set about getting you an answer.
On EDDB, in ANYAYAR it showed Etznabi Freedom party to be in retreat and on 5.2% influence.
I have just flown to that system and obviously as soon as I entered that location, the information update. Using INARA, it correctly shows Etznabi as being on 5.2% but in a state of 'NONE' furthermore in its history I cannot see it being in a state of RETREAT
okay we can all blame me for getting it wrong. I certainly did not but thatis by the by. Note I said EDDB showed that yesterday it was in a state of RETREAT. Now in EDDB tody, after it updated, it shows COFFIN DODGERS on 43.6% in a state of WAR??
I am guessing I am the ship that has caused this update as I have EDmarket thingie active. We are all told that each system is now an independent system so yes, Coffin Dodgers are at war in a number of systems but a war in ANYAYAR?? I hope not and I do not think so.
Your last point asking me to show you a faction that is in retreat from its Home System, I cabbot as the faction I has seen in this state can nolongeer be found. However you are kindly confirming exactly what I keep saying. In my experience I have never seen nor heard of that happening, plus when Minor Factions were released I am sure I read it somewhere and zack rings a bell as being the author who confirmed that nofaction could be booted from its Home System.
If an example crops up, I will try to remember to let you know.
No worries, thanks for getting back to me.
