Powerplay First evening in PP. Did I do more harm than good?

I've just pledged to ALD and haven't ever done PP before. My home system Iota Hydri is exploited by ALD but the station didn't give me any missions. So I look on the map and find out that the nearest place I can go is Priva. I pick up some corruption reports and realise I need to deliver them to a system being expanded into. I check the map and see that CPC 22 212 is a candidate. I like that system, I use it to jump to when I have accidentally shot someone who is clean and need to stay low for 8 minutes. So I deliver lots of corruption reports, then go to Kamadhenu for fortification supplies and take them back to Priva as asked.

It wasn't clear on the galaxy map what all the different icons are, like for example some circles are hollow and others filled in. But I then realise that all the systems that I have been delivering fortification supplies and corruption reports to are loss making systems. Does this mean that ALD is more likely to expand into systems that are not profitable and costs money to maintain? When I realised I decided to deliver some fortification supplies and corruption reports to the most profitable systems near by to compensate but all I was wanted to do was to get to rank 2 for the moment so I could get a bonus for bounty hunting.

And I couldn't find any crime sweeps which would have been far more fun. How do I find them?

It does sound like you did more harm than good, but that's fine, as you probably only threw a few dozen corruption reports out there.

As markkuk says, the /r/EliteLavigny/ subreddit is where Research posts our best suggested activities for the week. We try to cross-post the Dispatch to the forums as well, but that doesn't always happen. There are no crime sweeps this week, but there is one expansion which threatens ALD space: Ch'iang Fei.

If you wish to haul goods to meet a merit count, please head to Kamadhenu and help fortify. The good systems to fortify are in the Cycle Priorities. We've got a lot of goo systems unfortified, which would leave us open to a massive snipe and potential loss of systems.

It probably didn't help that the system I was delivering corruption reports to already had a shed load of corruption reports already delivered by ALD. So either someone else is making the same mistake or there's a 5th column at work.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I'll be unpledging today because of the AI update. Overall I made more positive contributions than negative ones after joining the Discord channel and fortifying the right targets. But it's now stopping me from playing other aspects of the game. I might rejoin once they have properly rebalanced the game but for me, it has been more trouble than it has been worth.
