Powerplay Just curious, but who else here hates the Alliance and Mahon? :D

Fixed that for you. Their problem if they provoked people enough to get attacked from both sides.

What about when an outside force with an unchecked military intelligence department starts the fight via false flag? The Federation may be aggressive, but not every conflict they 'started' was their fault.
 
Alliance is known for collusion with the Empire

True, but what isn't known is the moles/infiltrators placed within Imperial factions to ensure they don't turn against the Alliance and stay "friendly."

It's easier to ensure subjugation through brainwashing than diplomacy. Think about the current situation within the United States with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

What if Vladimir helped Trump to get elected to ensure a more controllable co-existance? Trump would be indebted to Vladimir for the assistance provided that put him in that position, therefore exerting leverage and control of another power.

Now, given this example and the issue of climate change. Russia is largely not interested in the problems of climate change because they seek to make millions from it with the melting of ice regions that will yield large deposits of fossil fuels. Trump also doesn't seem to care about climate change issues. Why? Likely because he also wants to profit from the exposure of those deposits as he is a cohort of Russia.

Things going on in this game are not so different from real life happenings. Difference is, you can have a more proactive response to what's going on in this game.

Curious about any other players that hate the Alliance and have the backbone to admit it in this forum.

I don't like them because they are always in first place, have more subjugated Federal worlds than independent ones (I believe. Need to check.), and play peek-a-bo instead of just playing in SOLO or OPEN mode.

What are your reasons? Real and/or just roleplaying.

Jealous of our hard work - TRIGGERED!

A splendid one to behold!
 
Martin! My man! The pimp himself!

We are opposing you Martin. You just haven't noticed it yet, but i'm sure you will. Oh and we're also working WITH other powers. 4 currently. I'll let you guess who they are.

Always a pleasure talking to you. For the sake of the game, somebody has got to not like you guys and it surely isn't the bulk of the Imperials, heh. ;-) Don't take it personal bro. It's just a game.

(I don't think the peek-a-boo reference really needs an explanation.)

I'm cancelling your acquaintance status.

Both subreddits of the Feds kept posing memes about how they would woop our asses for over 2 weeks before they got disciplined.

I doubt it was a mistake or a false flag.

I was referring to the lore

Edit: though the experiences I've had with Alliance players aren't exactly stellar either

It seems that both of the big two superpowers have been losing people and systems to Independents.

2 YEARS AGONumber of SystemsPopulation
Alliance1%3%
Empire29%28%
Federation36%42%
Independent34%28%

TODAYNumber of SystemsPopulation
Alliance3%6%
Empire25%27%
Federation31%39%
Independent41%28%
But the Alliance has gained.
[video=youtube_share;YGqndJFKOfA]https://youtu.be/YGqndJFKOfA?t=1826[/video]
From 30:26 for the change in the number of Alliance Controlled systems as at Jan 3303.




Here's the TL;DR:

I love that he has Red Green Blue and Purple, but none of the colours are right for the power.


For all the talk of how we should flip more bubbles to corporate to help Mahon.
The fact is that there are just not that many Alliance factions. And only SOME of those are corporates.
We started with around 230 systems (1.17% x 19500) and we hope to be at 700 by the drop of 2.4
So the Alliance has gained around 470 systems.

But this is nothing compared to the other superpowers.
Empire 5183 (lost 25 systems)
Feds 6222 (lost 280 systems)
we are the underdog
With more than 400 Player minor factions added in game (and the majority of those independent), you see that the Alliance is doing about as well as it can, given its starting position.




. . . like the reasons given for the Feds to attack us, which were later just admitted to boil down to "we needed Mahon's good systems to have a better standing fighting the Imps." anyway.

Lest we forget.

If the post above isn't enough for you to start or continue your hard work against the Mahon regime, here's a reminder besides the dirt we already know about them.

Federation systems: 735

Alliance systems: 345
Independent systems: 555

Imperial
sympathizers, we of the Maquis don't expect you to care given the infiltration the Mahon regime has already done to your power but if you are one that has seen or realized the corruption, I urge you to not let it go unanswered!
 
That's a good pace despite the summer slowing things down. I wonder if it will hit 400 before the end of the season. :cool:

Lol. Well, if it does, myself and my closest cohorts will be crewing my Polaris Corvette in Star Citizen. If there is no longer a player base that works against the TRUE evil in the galaxy, then this game really isn't worth playing anymore.

So there's a goal to get rid of us. ;-)

Until then, get used to LOCKDOWN, BUST, CIVIL UNREST, and anything else I come up with until those Federal systems are free of the Mahon regime!

lol wut?
Federation systems: 735
Alliance systems: 345
Independent systems: 555
What are those numbers? Where do they come from?


Here's some numbers from eddb.io
Total Federation Aligned Systems: 6224
Total Alliance Aligned Systems: 693

If the Alliance kept up the current pace of taking 15 systems a month, it would still take us 30 years to catch up to the Federation.
30 Years.

So your narrative of "Let's tear down Mahon before he opresses us all"
is actually: "Lets kick the little guy, because he's more organised and efficient than us."


30 Years.
Maybe Star Citizen will be released by then.

Lol. Those numbers are from my previous post here which I got FROM THE GAME. I'll grab new numbers FROM THE GAME later. they might have changed but I figuring not by much within a few days or weeks. :D
 
Fellow Maquis Revolutionists and Initiates

Any ship can be used in support of the Maquis but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a few based on the nature of our operations. They are as follows...

Cobra Mk3
Imperial Courier
Federal Assault Ship
Python
Orca
Imperial Clipper

I'd like to reiterate that it's the summer. Enjoy it! This is a game and it will be around when you get back. I appreciate everyone's dedication against the green galactic menace know as Mahon but this is not a job. Progress may be lost but can always be regained at another time.

Thank You and have a great summer!

I still have no idea what it is you think you're achieving in terms of PowerPlay. As far as I can tell it's nothing at all. I'm pretty sure this particular thread is far better suited for a BGS forums, because so far nothing in this thread deal with PowerPlay other than as a geographical market.
