Pretty much - the combat bonds generated a huge amount of influence change. As a short term fix we'll balance that right down and reset Lugh to yesterday's values.

Cheers Michael.
Thanks for you diligence Michael. However, personally I would question the concept of factions within a civil war stealing influence from other factions that are not. Them damaging each other makes total sense but stealing influence from those not involved does not. in hindsight it would be very easy for a tiny faction to start a petty war with its peer only to suddenly take over a whole system very quickly.
It might be worth considering that scenario if that is indeed how it works.

In this case it was the sheer volume of them. It seems a lot of kills were claimed in the battles.

Interesting.
In our current civil war we went to 95.1% with Alliance Combine.
Strange folks, these people from the future. Nothing makes you more influential than killing a healthy amount of people.
Thanks for your efforts to fix it.
Well, I suppose it is better than them all turning up and just going to the pub in Balandin...
Hopefully Frontier keeps an eye on exploits and hacks aswell. Just in case (strange that so many combat bonds).
it does make sense that some influence would be taken from factions not involved in a civil war, sympathy from the other factions (or greater respect for the underdog) could apply. But it should be a marginal diff not the massive swing we just saw. (good to know warzones affecting influence is possible though).
how many bonds did it take to generate this swing. (!joke!) I mean, I only killed 673,340 ships in the warzone last night (!joke!)

Just checked in. Man, that 87% drop made me sick. Thank goodness that's been sorted out.
Very encouraging that in those revised figures LDF (Indy) gained 0.7% and DOL (Fed) lost the same. You can see the same effect on the earlier overbalanced numbers, too. That suggests that more of the commanders that came in chose to fight against the Federation.
War! We will rock them!
Edit: In my first visit to the nearest conflict zone from Knight Dock, I've found Cmdr Grenade, and Cmdr Basthrad to be hostile toward our cause. You know it...

Would it be possible to apply a law of diminishing returns to reputation changes by combat in a given time period, rather than reducing the absolute contribution a kill makes?
Will do that, once i am home

I would prefer to keep the influence the warpartys have as a limit.. so two factions with 5 and 8% are at war. After that war, the maximum a faction can have is 13%
