Well, it was a long road, but I've finally arrived at Lugh. Was selling the data I'd gathered along the way, but the server kicked me out. 
*ouch* I am sorry
Regarding the update: we dont know exactly when and how often the influence recalculation happens. Assumption was ance per day and it should have happened around 0:00 GMT. Maybe that was wrong.
Greatly interested in what happens... would be nice if an actual "war" or "something" breaks out but most likely it will just be a numbers/name thing.

The server was exploding around that time. Maybe there was a problem.

I detonated my ASP by flying into a station.. I switched to galaxy view for planning and forgot I left my throttle on max..
30 seconds later I heard the shields collapse and switched back to see my detonated hull.
-350K creds for insurance (2%.. yay lucky me), but more painfully - 1.5M of rare commodity cargo.
and now to rub salt into the wound - I just paid a 275K wear&tear bill because I foolishly clicked on it to see what it though needed repairing..
that wear and tear thing needs to go.
so -625K .. and a ton of trading required to get back to where I was, no more rares worth carrying and a mangled trade market.. sigh..
Crimson State is hovering at 24.4%
It would seem that others are moving now against us. We must re-double our efforts! I have heard that there are ships in the void who would steer you from the path of Lugh, from the path of righteousness! Pay no heed to their snake like tongues and stay resoloute to the cause! We are now on the brink of civil war with Fedeal control dropping to a mere 43%. It is working! Stay strong and support the Crimson State.
Keep faith in the Great God Lugh! He shall lead us to victory!
Lugh Lámhfhada abú!
I am a wind across the sea
I am a flood across the plain
I am the roar of the tides
I am a stag of seven tines
I am a dewdrop let fall by the sun
I am the fierceness of boars
I am a hawk, my nest on a cliff
I am a height of poetry
I am the most beautiful among flowers
I am the salmon of wisdom
Who (but I) is both the tree and the lightning strikes it
Who is the dark secret of the dolmen not yet hewn
I am the queen of every hive
I am the fire on every hill
I am the shield over every head
I am the spear of battle
I am the ninth wave of eternal return
I am the grave of every vain hope
Who knows the path of the sun, the periods of the moon?
Who gathers the divisions, enthralls the sea,
sets in order the mountains. the rivers, the peoples?
Who but I?

Some posters (on other threads) on these forums have expressed their lack of faith in our cause because they do not agree with our political motivations and because we are not backing traditional democratic organisation. For this reason I have felt the need to clarify things a little more and declare exactly where we stand.
Democracy is a sham! Infact, all current systems existing in this galaxy are a sham. Communism was a nice idea while it lasted but unfortunately does not work as it gives no motivation for personal advancement. It merely creates a stagnant pool that drowns all creativity and progress. All these systems are outdated.
Our brethren on the ground have for centuries been infiltrating positions of power in the Lugh system and now at last are gaining ground in what is (and make no mistake) an economic war. All wars are won by economics and although the great Lugh's star is rising, in order to combat federation control we need to be able to fuel our revolt. This is where the Crimson State Group Corporation came in. It was imperitive to take control of the hierarchy of this regime and twist it to our own ends. By doing this we have secured the ecomomy of the outlying stations and bent them to our will. This allows us to arm and train our troops and feed our people!
In many ways man had devolved in forms of government by the time the first FSD drives were invented and this only led to further branching in politics as communities found themselves far apart in remote colonies orbiting airless worlds. The facade of democracy is a lie! Voting parties in with your vote when both parties aims are actually the same leaving the public to believe that their vote matters when it is the furthest thing from the truth! Merely facilitators of these top down opressors who dictate our daily lives!
The LFF (Lugh Freedom Fighters) propose something very different. What we porpose is the turning on the head of old policies of the Federation and the Empire litterally! These top-down regimes do not serve the common man. They do not serve me and you. They serve those at the top and their laws reflect this by criminalising you for not obeying their rules when their rules are really only there to serve big industry. Their big industry serves them while they live their extended-lives consuming progenitor cells and propping up their failing bodily functions with performance enhancers in their dingy dens of eniquity while the poor man starves in the lower decks of some remote space outpost!
Yes, what we propose is a return to the old ways. A return to the ways before the feudal kings of old stamped their will upon the common man to benifit no-one but themselves. The greedy powerhungry benifactors of history. NO! For the past is littered with such men and nothing has changed in 3030.
What we porpose is a bottom-up regime powered only by the people. In this regime our leaders will be elected from a class of Noble families who have proven their worth to the benifit of all. Our current General of operations will at induction be emburdened with the task of appointing his successor upon receiving office. This successor will be chosen from a possible three candidates who in turn have been chosen by the people. This General of opperations will have no political power. His job is merely as a protector of the people. Should he not fill his role he will be replaced by his successor. This ensures there will always be someone to take his place and his sound jusgement will pick the best successor for the job.
All men in high office will be burdened with an 'honour price'. This means that should they fail to fulfill their roles or break our laws through possible corruption the law will come down harder on them than against a common man perpetrating the same crime. They are men of honour in an apointed position of honour and therefore there actions are expected to be more honourable than the common man. They will be appointed the means to fulfill their roles and be awarded based upon its merit.
The common man is the sole institutor of justice. Judges and officials are nothing more than consultants whos role it is to make sure that the law of the Lugh system is adhered to and put to the people for their judgement. Great disgrace awaits any judge who might abuse this system yet they will be held in the highest esteem in the land by all while fulfilling their most honourable role.
For this reason by default the laws of the lugh system have evolved to serve the people and not the hierachy. The people create the laws because the people make the judgements. Judges are merely recorders of thet judgement for the benifit of the people on request. This ensures the laws serve the greater good of the community and not one powerful individual at the top who would seek to control others. Powerful men can easily be stripped of their rank and brought crashing down in flames providing us with only the with the most honourable of individuals fulfilling those roles.
So let me summarize by saying The Lugh system will not be a democracy, it will not be a communist state, it will not be a dictatorship and it will not be some sort of religious facist regime! It will be true freedom of its people to collectively steer their own destiny.
The time of oppression of figureheads and moneymen is at an end!
This is the ancient law and so it shall be again!

I'm just grateful that my Master's overly nostalgic about ancient Terran religions. Because of that, it was fairly easy to persuade her to let me help you out.
I'm excited that I can finally go on a mission that isn't taking a few credits and a sidewinder, and turn it into a proper ship and a large amount of cash that's turned over to someone else at the end of the line. If I do a good job here, maybe I can get more important tasks in the future.

Lugh Freedom Fighters (LFF), hear me
A worthy task or two awaits you.
As you well know, the Federal Security Vessels in the system are a threat to our progression.
You may have noticed while scanning FED vessels, that the majority are aligned with our rival factions.
I...CMDR Z, call on you all to slay as many as possible.
Scan their ships, look for their political alignment, annihilate all who are not Crimson State Group(CSG).
You will lose reputation with the Federation.
You will lose reputation with the other factions.
This task may be best suited to the many mercenary forces within Lugh space at the moment, especially those with a fiery hated for the Federation.
Remember, any ship aligned with Crimson State Group(CSG) is to be left alone, this is paramount.
This part of the message is for the bounty hunters passing through Lugh space.
Scan any none Fed Security Vessels, Traders and such, the like of which you will find at the Lugh Nav beacon, USS, and other places.
Look for their political alignment, annihilate all who are not Crimson State Group(CSG).
You will lose reputation with the Federation.
You will lose reputation with the other factions.
Remember, any ship aligned with Crimson State Group(CSG) is to be left alone, even if they have a bounty on their heads, this is paramount.
The fire rises, will you help quicken the flame?
CMDR Z, out.....
Praise Lugh!

Just spent another afternoon hauling and smuggling for the Crimson Lord and his following. And still the percentages are locked at 24% for CSG and LDF. Is this normal? Or is this some kind of bug? Maybe we need an event to spark the looming civil war. But how do we do it? Simply shooting down LDF ships won't accomplish anything except hight bounties. Or will it? What are your thoughts?
