That's fine when the game is working, but:
a) Without knowing what is meant to happen, we can't tell if it is working properly,
b) So many other things aren't working correctly that we have no confidence in any particular system.
Yeah, this.
This experience has been very interesting. Seeing as Michael Brookes said server changes made the conflict zones stable, where are we at right now? Are there conflict zones we can take part in?
If so, we should push further, I bet fighting there would be the next step to further increase the Crimson State's influence past 50%. I wonder what the stage after that will be? Maybe the disappearance of the conflict zones and the shift of the system to an independant state, which will gain more stability as we take missions to assassinate federal ships for example. That would seem like the logical outcome and hopefully we can achieve that. This would mean that with time, it would be possible to change the area of influence of the major factions, which would be a great long term goal for gameplay.

Man I'm about to just hang this game up for a few weeks until FD gets all this crap sorted. Persistent universe hardly exists, trading completely broken, exploration not worth the trouble, can't send text messages to anyone in-game, friends not being able to see each other in open play sometimes, bounty hunting is *okay* but the cops attack when you attack someone who's wanted which is ridiculous (cops need to be their own global faction and not spread around a bunch of other small factions in systems)...among other things.
I wanna love this game but frankly right now it's a buggy, hardly functioning mess. Having to force myself to log on lately because I know crap's gonna still be broken.

Does anyone know where to get Combat Stabilisers from. Went everwhere that was meant to be selling them as I had a mission from the Crimson State to get some and there wasn't even a section on the commodities for them at all.
Seemed strange. Maybe I should ticket it?

Oh, you people are only starting to think of this now? The penny drops... And to think the height of the ambitions of the Fed followers is to just want to do missions and affect basicly nothing? Somehow they are fulfilling a role. Think bigger people! That is what I have been aiming for all along!

This this this. We *need* more information.
This event could and *should* have been a triumph; player driven change in a dynamic universe? The gaming press would have *eaten it up*, free publicity, player base delighted, winners all round.
Instead we've achieved nothing, the most committed and involved part of the player base is confused and demoralized, reviewers will at best mention the "dynamic universe" as a system that's not really working yet, nobody happy despite the "kudos" for the attempt.
I hesitate to be critical because I think Michael and everyone at FD *are* doing a fantastic job and releasing fixes and updates at an astounding rate, but FD you are shooting yourselves in the foot by being too coy about how these systems work, and generating a substantial amount of unnecessary frustration and burn out in your fledgling player base as a result.
Tell us why the event didn't work. Tell us which factors affect the system. Be EXPLICIT. Tell us why the percentages seem to be frozen at Sorbago for goodness sake - is is working as intended? Is it a bug? If it's working as intended where is the player feedback? Having the cleverest system in the world in place is utterly useless if it's invisible to the players.
We *need* more information, you are losing us.
Yes, it's definitely too early to throw in the towel. Both LFE and CSG have missions out requesting weapons, and I'm seeing a lot more combat missions than I used to. There are still profits to be made, fun to be had, and a system to flip!

Thans Michael for the feedback.
if you follow one and use the low fsd wake to get to the station, the trader will dock at the station, doesn't trade though. And doing this means that you will see the trader again at this system / station. I've noticed the same trader around my previous home system always in the same ship.
yeah but the AI didnt listen obviously

nothing wrong with that. The question is, what you do instead? Doing a walk and talk with your wife each day for some hours?
on topic:
i think the signs of civil war should be MUCH MORE visible. Perhaps even graphically with more and more devastaded stations, the "mood" of a system should change drastically etc.

I'd go program own game (I am actually slowly working on 2), play EVE, other games, learn developers maths, read a book...
But that's me.
You think this is over?
Think again my friend!
Lugh's star is rising.
This is HIS time.
I will not see him undone...
