this game needs a manual
It has one, but it is a wip and only covers basics, I was going to link it but the link is down atm 19/12/2014 anyway here is where it now lives http://www.elitedangerous.com/downloads/Sidewinder_Owners_Manual_WIP.pdf
Edit, devs updated the thread that directs to the manual stating they know about the error https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18465&highlight=Sidewinder+Owners+Manual+WIP

As many of us thought, I believe many of us (me included when I first arrived in Lugh) lined our pockets trading goods to stations thinking they were helping the Crimson tide, while doing Crimson BB missions helped. I think we got it sussed in the end but couldn't stop others replaying our mistakes (It goes against the grain to to not maximise profits in E D)
I'm still up for trying it, but nooobs really need to understand what they have to do.
I think this means we (as players) need better tools to see the how influence is trending in a system _and_ let us figure out which kinds of activities are required to shift it. Once Civil war breaks out it shouldn't 'flap' there should be an intermediate zone that takes some effort to cross.
Could it be trading increased the system prosperty, and this reduced the civil unrest? Did we make everyone so fat a lazy they just watched MTV instead.
Michael seem to imply we need to stop trade for the federal scums!!!
well, the whole civil war thing seems to be bugged anyways.
in leesti is a civil war going on right now, but between 2 factions that have both 0!! influence in that system... what exactely are they fighting over? who is allowed to serve the coffee to the faction that holds 99% influence?

Maybe we concentrated on the wrong side...Lugh for independance may have been a better choice than a corporate system, just saying

I noticed last night when I would bounty hunt in an independent system for van manaan or whatever, I was attacking their enemy which was corporate, and it lowered my rep with the feds, the corps, and the cult. So really everyone.

Well next time we try I'll fly over again to help rid the Federal shackles.
So we can return later and help give you a nice shiney Imperial slave colar, it's bedazzled!
Or just help people to be Independant
So no offering refugees a better life with all expenses payed? You're no fun.
So it's possible that the issues that are happening with the trade is affecting negatively to this efforts?
I've seen multiple systems with some of the smaller factions with the status of "Civil War", but yet I've never seen any conflict zones in these systems, or the effects thereof. I, for one, would really love an explanation of how the influence works within this universe. There are a few systems that I've encountered that I would love to participate in lowering the influence of one faction over the other, but outside of the major Galnet announcements, I don't know what to do.
Thanks for the input, Michael!
I think it's still worth continuing to try to influence Lugh. Been seeing a lot more combat mission and requests for battle weapons on the bulletin boards. Hopefully, if whatever was wrong with civil wars have been fixed, we'll see some fireworks soon.

Ah so that all makes sense now, if the two issues are in fact linked
This is almost the best thread/topic over the last couple of weeks.
I really appreciate the effort and reporting back to the forums to play with reputation/state of a planet. This is where there could be some real long term fun in ED.
A also really appreciate the fact ED have responded (mind you having included it in the newsletters...).
I don't want ED to give us the 'spreadsheet/algorhitm' but I would really like to know what has an effect on what

Interesting thread. Ignoring the fact that the effects were not apparent, is anyone concerned that it takes less than two weeks to trigger a civil war? One would think it would be a bit more involved than that.
