spot on , despite a month the devs still havent fixed this and you guy are gunna hit 100% and still have no stations
Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

Well I would like to say, I cannot wait for the day that we get this stuff working correctly, free the system, so I can wreak havoc over the loss of so many Lughvian underprivileged children. I know the nefarious rumors and will do everything I can to make the Federation pay for their taste for Lugvian Cracker pate`... the monsters!
Why in Gods name would they do that? Food from kids... its political suicide.
Didnt get a reply from FD on my ticket i submitted. Sticking to flying my eagle around for a while.

surely there is someone way they can simulate at FD HQ the impact of a faction pushing influence up, and tipping a station to change ownership, is the problem in the database rather than the implementation of the idea. Or is it because certain things are still missing so certain things can change or cannot change- and maybe a dev response that is a dev blog rather than a one liner - a lot of it is probably server side which means it should be easy to fix or go through a log and see where things are falling down.

Although there is good reason to believe many of the rumors circulating McClean Dock at the moment one cannot deny that 'Fangrys Cat Food' is making a killing on the open market at the moment and in recent polls 9 out of 10 lumpsucker leopard owners say their pet prefers it over any other brand...
Of course they can simulate.
But test results are only as good as the imagination of the tester and the time he has for thorough testing. If you have a complex system with many influence variables, you'll need a lot of time to write those tests. And still wont cover the whole behavior.
But well, the background sim is apparently only a very small part of the game, I dont think more than 2 or 3 people work on it. Nevertheless it'd be nice if they fixed at least the bugs where influence changes do not happen. Like when you do missions for a faction not owning a station.
It's been 2 months since launch, and over 1 month since the winter holiday. Its about time this works correctly. Especially because its basically just scheduled database operations against a mathematical model. Which is really rather basic stuff when compared to networking, physics engines or similar.

I was just browsing through if there are still issues with the influence system... We have a little project with our group where we try to push the influence of the smallest minor faction in the system up. In three weeks we have seen no change in the influence of the system and now we're even running out of missions!
Based on the quoted message, there seems to be a known issue (at least by the community) with increasing the influence of a minor faction without a station. Is there also a known issue with no missions being generated properly?
It's just silly to fly between the two outposts in the system and only finding ONE random mission from one of the other minor factions every now and then (probably like one mission per 2 hours).
PS: Already created a ticket.

at the very least let the junior devs who attend to the background simulation speak up as to who they are and work with us, perhaps even a sub forum just for this type of stuff. Like the junior eve online devs who post daily in regards to what they are doing, FD get youre staff communicating a bit more often, if they make changes or for bugs.

Good news that you have spotted a bug preventing station flipping! Once you have figured out how to fix it, can you check HR 7327 as well because I think Dukes of Mikunn should own Law Party's station (whatever the station name was).
Would also be interesting to know why Dukes and Dynamic didn't go civil war critical when Dukes passed Dynamics in influence a few days ago. Maybe it is because Dukes need War against Dynamics instead of civil war. This is because Dukes are invaders instead of native faction of the system... But let's wait hope for the station flipping bug to get fixed first.
Loving this project. There's so much info that it's hard to pick out salient points. Can someone briefly answer the following questions:
1) Did Crimson State Group only exist in Lugh at the state of the project?
2) Has CSG spread to other systems?
3) Has any station ownership changed (I see discussion about this but can't see the actual state [no pun] of them)?
4) Is there an in-game group dedicated to the CSG cause?
5) Is there a website?
Keep up the good work, Lughers. Some Community Goals should just be goals set by the community.

Ok again and i hope this bug get fixed soon.

I hope so. Would be nice to finally see some progress here. At least we don't have to wait another 2 weeks (LDF, SN LTD civil war cooldown).
FYI, I've been smuggling Personal Weapons from Knight Dock to Hartfield Market's Black Market every day. Sometimes at 500 - 10000 tons a day. I haven't hindered progress (influence) and and at 104 tons per turn, I get 83,xxx credits getting there. If you are hostile to the Feds then they won't even scan you when entering the station. Arm the people. Give them the Spear of Lugh and watch it's shockwave when it strikes the ground.
