Is there an easy way to find conflict zones.

[vonFelty]

Me and a friend are hanging out in LHS 3447 and are looking for some combat in open play.

What is the easiest way to find a conflict zone. Is there a way to spot them on the galaxy map?

I found http://infolimpet.tk/conflicts but it doesn't search by closeness but rather by exact system.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Whoops this went on the mac forum when it should have gone in general discussion.

Easiest way is to look at medium - large pop stars, scroll through the faction list, and check the status. (On the Galaxy Map)

If there are 2 that have a status of 'Civil War' - there will be conflict zones around planets / stations.

I was fighting in a conflic zone last night in Swaza. I think is close to LHS 3447.

Yeah that's what I was originally thought too, though the last few weeks, I've noticed that it's said war / civil war on the system map, but when I jump into the system, there's nothing going on at all.

My way of finding a combat zone, has been simply to set a course of about 10-15 (economical) jumps, and after each jump, just checking the faction panel on the right hand side of the cockpit, I may have been lucky, but I've found someone at war every five or six jumps or so.

Check GalNet news in game... It's all there.

That information is not necessarily still accurate as it is not posted daily. Generally, I would like to see that as a new filter mode on the galaxy map, along side allegiance, star type etc:

Events

• War
• Civil War
• Community Goal

Come here to the forums, the best and most persistent conflict zones are here in the "Dangerous discussions" section
And no insurance to be paid when you blow up!

Definitely not fully up-to-date on Galnet.... CZ's have a very short life at time .... i know the one i've been doing a lot in has come and gone almost on a daily basis

As my friends and I play for more of the CZs than anything And waste more time finding them than playing them. We find that your statement to be untrue (partially). As they list 10 conflict zones on galnet it is only 10 out of thousands. And as someone said they are not up to date as I flew to 6 of them today with no joy. a waste of a few hours of time. (and friends aren't as patient as me, They tend to quit do to frustration of the poor design). If you have any input into FD There really needs to be some type of search in the galaxy map to find specific zones. especially the closest ones to you. As for right now we need to know where the ones are in hudsons area. There are a couple of external sites but none with a search feature and I find that they aren't very accurate either.

A little less time working on console development and a little more time working on our PC game would go a long way to fixing a lot of these design problems. Why do I bother, words like "we care what you thing" are meaningless, actions prove intentions. Please change course and correct the many design miss steps in the game.

You need to fly real close to a cz for it to show in nav panel! Like 100 LS close.

I posted above how they are located, lol.

If there are 2 factions in Civil War, and neither of them are at 0% influence, there will be conflict zones. Just remember they only spawn if you're within 1000Ls away.
