Frontier is the real coward in system wars.

But really you cant fight an enemy you cant see.
This really needs to change !!!

Oh yes you can. You can see the effect every day.

Do as they (whoever they are) do - and do better.

That's the BGS in a nutshell. That's what you got into, which was your own decision.
If you can't handle that, then maybe.... your decision wasn't the right choice.

So you mean that a playstation guy (who I believe can have more than one commander) or a player with more than one account can join an opposing faction (being a fresh player) and commit murder and mayhem in the name of the faction... who then has their reputation suffer... yeah do some crime and do the time, all in the name of an opposing faction, cool!

You don't have to join a faction, since there really is not join button for the BGS anyway. Just kill clean ships in the system, deliver cargo at a loss, or accept and fail missions for a faction, and you will damage it's security and influence. The more I looked into the BGS, the less I wanted to play it. I am sure someone else can fill you in the finer minutia of bolstering or damaging a faction, since I decided it was not game play I was interested in..

Yeah, me neither, never was one for power playing games.
But, on a different subject...
I just want to be able to enjoy Exploring again, mayhaps in the New Era We'll be able to route plot a journey through a system on the Orrery*

*why doesn't my spillchucker know how to spell 'Orrery'?... Dave, over to you

Since when is derailing a thread an accepted and by mods tolerated practice in this forum? If somebody has nothing meaningful to say, there is also an option to ignore. This is a toxic behaviour, i observe from time to time in this forum. (This is dedicated to the first few posts after the first post).

I dont think orrery is a very commonly used word, maybe thats why.

I can understand that... it doesn't seem to be a very popular feature either, though with a little effort FDev

Play the bgs like everybody else. Even on the same platform in the same mode all stars have to be aligned to jump into the same instance as your opponent. If it happens fight them for the fun of it. They count 1 point towards winning the CZ as all the npcs do.

I don't see you having anything meaningful to say either. Why not follow your own advise?

It's the 4 or 5 threat on the same topic in almost as many days and none of them made it to 69, because somebody needed to have their own and couldn't add to one of the ones already on the front page.

I expected a rubbish comment like that, thanks!

You know, Sisyphus didn't have a choice.

I'm thinking more of Prometheus chained.

I play the BGS in solo and so does my wife!

Oh those posts were absolutely on topic for this thread.

You're welcome.

I just couldn't let the forum standards slide, that would be the real tragedy in this threat.

You know the real cowards in all our wars in the 4 systems we are trying to defend against the cyber system bullies is frontier, who hide behind the BGS as being something that we all can intereact and fight with and to a degree thats true. But if you cant kill the main protagonists that are causing you damage to all your systems because they are on a different platform and Frontier doesnt allow for all platforms to have interoperability then its a samson and Goliath battle. Frontier need to make all platforms interoperable. I know they could do it if they wanted to. But by not doing so just shows them hiding in the skirts of the BGS. And yes we have heard this all before and all the established players from all the heavily militarised squadrons and factions will say its the old argument etc etc cause its safe for them not to change the status quo as their safe in their overpowered groups and can patronize and talk down to the lesser powered groups and treat them with contempt.

@StarDemon I can assure you that your enemy PC section is involved in the bgs as well and they fly in open all the time, they almost never saw opponents in open as well, I know that for a fact.

What faction is OP fighting for and where?

 

[Drelthar]

Interesting new concept here.

 

[Kamiyoda]

What faction is OP fighting for and where?

Himself, apparently.

Indeed, you are an Admiral of nothing; literally. Ranks are honorary titles and not command positions in the game.

This is what happens when the SteamCharts numbers go up.

Pray for Dooooom! and a quiet forum.

Imagine thinking that the BGS matters for most players...
