That's a good point: now that FD have increased the number of missions available for factions that have no influence, it makes sense that if NPCs (pretend to) do missions too then their influence will increase a certain amount.
Lets test this persistent universe and see if FD are true to their word.

I created the account a while ago, but given the release of the GalNet post I've decided to start being active with a Twitter account for the Crimson State Group: @ED_CSG
I chose the account name following ED_Galnet and others that have used the ED_ prefix. I'm thinking of posting once a day with the influence data and a bit of a summary of our current thinking on the forum. If any regulars are regular Twitter users (I've not seen any of you!) and would like to join me in updating it, please send me a PM!

42 followers of Crimson State Group on Twitter. It's a start, at least!
If anyone has nice screenshots taken in the Lugh system, I'd love to feature them. And I was also thinking of tweeting the current favourite trade routes in the hope that it might attract traders to use our stations as a base, so any of those would be welcome too!

Dear Nightstorm,
Are you guys planning to join the Alliance?

Hi! That's more a question for orfeboy, but I think I'm right in saying that he treats all large organisations with equal distain... I can see why you'd think that would make sense though. From a technical perspective though there's no way in ED at the moment for a system to join a major faction unless a minor faction in the system is allied with it.
No, there is no intention to join the alliance. The idea is to get inter-galactic recognition from other state bodies. The Federation does not recognise Lugh as being free. But if its rivals do and deal with Lugh's own new formed government whom they see as legit then that would put much needed pressure on the Federation to comply once all inter-galactic traders officially start shunning the Lugh for Equality sham of a government...

Ah, that explains it and makes it clear now.
Thanks.
Thanks.
There is no idea or thought of the Alliance in the original vision (correct me Orfeboy if I'm wrong) but yeah technically you gotta be part of something. Perhaps this is why FD edited this:
"The only thing standing in the way of the will of the people is the Federal Navy! What more I ask you are grounds for a single people to forge their own destiny undictated by others? The Sons of Conn as foretold, have risen up and we declare our right to a free Lugh."
To this:
"The only thing standing in the way of the will of the people is the Federal Navy! I have come here today to request that the Alliance of Independent Systems recognise the legitimacy of a free and democratic Lugh."

Yep - it was that very statement that had me thinking...
Whoa, I'd not bothered to compare! That is interesting, and opens up the opportunity for FD to include Lugh in later stories that talk about the Alliance (who have had very little showing so far).
I think maybe you guys might misunderstand. The only reason why any government exists in an official capacity is because it has the support of the people and military. Internationally, other parties will have their own ideas. If such a govenment is to rise up and be recognised by its peers as such, then the controling force that means to control it is then open to scrutiny and sanctions. This happened in South Africa, Tibet and also in Ireland when international recognition was sought.
Trade embargos go a long way. A bully can start to think twice when others refuse to trade with them out of principle. The Alliance does not need to go to war in order to support Lugh. It just needs to change the way it deals with the Federation...
Should the Empire, Alliance and other free worlds choose not to recognise LFE as a legitimate Government and impose sancions upon them while recognising CSG instead, that goes a long way to making Lugh a very unprofitable entity for the Federation and highlights the illegitimacy of their claim to control it.

Right now we are acting the part of a piece of sand in an oyster's mantle. How big of a pearl this becomes is something none of us knows...it's just nice to know we are causing SOMETHING to happen! ;P
What I'm saying is - the goal was never to "join" the alliance. The goal is to free Lugh and how that is achieved and the outcome is what's interesting here.
I'm noting that it's interesting FD put that bit in about the alliance "recognise the legitimacy". With regard to the background simulation, whether this means an automatic "fed->alliance flip" or the "international peer effect" analogy you are making I do not know.
