I'm having a hard time figuring out the BGS and moving the needle on my adopted pirates. I've read many of the guides, but the actual rules to the BGS seem so opaque that I feel a little silly putting in so much time trying to gain them influence. I'd like to have them take over the system and expand to another.
I've managed, through running missions for influence, moved them up from 3% to 30%. They are now in 2nd position,but only entered one conflict state and therefor only gained one asset, an Odyssey settlement with a small landing pad. I feel like I'm treading water at this point, with running multiple 5+ Inf missions and only gaining 1 percent per tick. Any suggestions?
Some details: System is 50,000 population. The #1 faction owns all planetary ports and stations and most of the settlements. I can't attack them without losing my ability to run missions for my pirates. Their only asset is a small settlement, so trading commodities seems silly with such limited cargo space. Player activity in the system, according to the local news, is only 5-7 ships per day.
Thanks for any suggestions!
