Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

Could we send out Sidewinders with big placards to sit outside the LFE stations and tell them to trade at ours instead?

To be honest, unless people somehow manage to permanently derail our project we should just see it as making life a little more interesting! I'm not really playing the game just to reverse engineer a black box.

This right here... this is what will get it done.

 

[Brindarm]

If we can just get FD to give us ship decals which are single letters, we'd be able to line up a bunch of sidewinders outside the stations in the right order....!

I'm not against the influx, I see it as providing better data for FD to locate and fix bugs, I'm just trying to explain what the likely cause of the slow down in gain is for CSG to those that are asking.

See you all this evening.

I've decided to go and explore the coalsack nebula. Will selling exploration data to CSG help the cause?

David Braben described this more than once, saying that if an explorer discovered a particularly rich or special system, and then that explorer sold the system data to a faction - that faction may then decide to do something with the system. I really don't see how that fits in with what Frontier have been describing lately...

Who knows..

Something has changed in my eyes since 1.05 patch (server side i doubt) now.
While following the same trade route and jumping from system to system for some time i watched the faction stats of the systems i jumped into. There have been lots of big changes in this systems between the factions there (not only from the inlfuence side). In one system i noticed a faction gaining +14 % influence from one trade run to the other.

Edit: Just spotted faction changes in a well known system where a main faction lost 17 % influence. In that case better for us

That sounds a bit bonkers! It might be a new bug...

They're seeing it at Milkunn too:

So what happened? All of a sudden my system changed influences and the expanding faction is down now to 1%.

Ninja patching on the server?

Does it mean it is fixed? Fingers crossed

 

[Brindarm]

Could it be things "settling" to where they should be?

With big changes like that I'd expect feedback from FD pretty quickly.

Reply to the above post from Michael:

No - it means that some have been processed.

The two key issues that we've identified are being worked on, but we don't have the solution yet. I would estimate that it's a matter of days, rather than weeks though.

That guy isnt from Mikunn,but we are seeing it at Mikunn. We jumped from 9% to 24%.

Oops, apologies! I get confused by the goings on outside the Lugh system!

That %age jump certainly sounds like it has caught up with the effect that you folks have been having. Hope it sticks!

Well, apparently its not completely caught up. We have 3.5 weeks of backlog I imagine.

Thx for the info Drachenmaul. Nice to see 67%

To anyone who is importing Progenitors to Knights. Better sell them at Balandin Gateway now as they have gone medium demand at Knights.

EDIT: PS:

Best jump out of SC ever into the middle core of an Orbis Staion. You get locked inside there and probably crash your ship even if you try to get out. This time i had luck..FD please fix this. (This issue exists since Beta 1 or 2).
Imagine this with a Type 9, Python or even an Anaconda...

Thanks for the heads up, though I've been doing my trading at Balandin for some time now.

This delightful quirk has been brought to you by all the players who felt 20km was too far to travel after they jumped back to normal space, and all the wonderful people who camped outside Azaban Station with missile boat Anacondas back in Premium Beta.

 

[Nightstorm]

I'm currently camped under Lugh star, sending messages to the players that arrive in the system. And there have been lots of them this evening, I've counted 13 that I don't recognise!

I've found the Ctrl+V works to paste when you're in Comms, so I've been sending some canned messages:

Hello! Please do trading & missions with the Crimson State Group! See bit.ly/edlugh for info
We are a group trying to free Lugh from Federation rule
Thanks for helping the cause!
OK, please don't cause us trouble!

Had some feedback, 4 out of the 8 I've sent the first message to have said they're helping, 1 was a Fed supporter. orfeboy is taking names...

So ironically I'm the "Sidewinder holding a big placard" that I suggested earlier...

Thanks for the hail and the chat, and keep up the good work.
