Mercenaries of Mikunn - The Background Simulation and Colonization Test

[dr.zli]

another fine night, mercs have smashed up a blockade, HR authority vessels lost at least 6 eagles, 3vipers and 2 anacondas. We let 2 vipers escape so they can tell the remaining forces who oppose us how we fight
And new people are in the system, welcome to all of you, doborodošli za one koji razumeju
Dukes will prevail!

CMDR Mysteron was camping Spassky's in an Asp, taking out Dukes and shooting the station. Last I saw he was up to 190k bounty.

Caught me while docking and blew me up

So they are listed as illegal ? but we can sell them on the regular market, could this have something to do with the switch to expansion status ? There have been notes with another system where a pirate faction took over that the status of a station changed in terms of trade - perhaps the galaxy/system map doesnt update to reflect change of factional type ( ie a pirate faction take over a corporation station - one would expect a black market to open up if this works the way i think it might)

Maybe with expansion status or a fuedal faction in charge at mikunn then battle weapons might be sold on the market.. well i would say if we can as others have noted continue to give them over to missions unless u need the credits, as it raises the ability of the dukes to fight and has what appears to be fixed with 1.04 in terms fo all status changes applying.

As far as 1.04 goes, if the server ticks are 1 day long each and it say takes 3 ticks to go civil unrest pending, civil unrest critical, then actual civil unrest. And we have to go through then civil war. It may still take a few weeks to completley tip a system ( it would be nice to know if the influence thing is working properly) or if taking a station is the thing we need to do to move influence first. But it will soon be figured out.
My personal viewpoint is that its going to take more than 1 person to even influence a small system. Unless youre doing 12 hours a day and can move large amounts of cargo, and have a nasty combat shpi that can murder 100s of npcs a day.

And there still may be undiscovered or undisclosed mechanisms that still have the 9.1% stuck. No one needs to respond to my post

The wealth upgrade to the dukes is my focus. So missions in mikunn that raise economic boom, influence and perhaps reduce civil unrest is where ill focus over weekend. Trade in and out of kwatee and sukra as there doesnt seem to be much happening there - but lets also watch those two sectors as things there have been stalled i think the communist faction in kwatee have been 55% influence and every now andthen the arrow goes blue on influence.
Sukra has been stuck in the mud but traffic has been less there. The federal purple industries faction is the strongest there and remains so.

Would be nice if we could get expansion critical and tip the dukes into both thsoe systems but it remains to be seen, might focus my efforts there ( if we are getting more help in the HR element)

Each to their own back to downloading this patch that is slow as might not even get to play before work

This has nothing to do with station expansion status. If its stolen either from a player or found at USS (still stolen) it absolutely has to be sold at the black market. You can sell any item at a station that you buy at a different station even if its not listed on the market.

"My personal viewpoint is that its going to take more than 1 person to even influence a small system."
​

I got Mikunn to expand with the help of one buddy. Its possible to see the effects you have on a system as a single player. We were not playing 12 hours a day and it was done with an adder and an eagle.

Also traffic hasn't really changed over the past week.

Does anybody know if doing missions in Mikunn for the Dukes is suppose to help in HR 7327? Or is the only reason to do Mikunn missions to get allied with the Dukes? Or do we not know?

I think its doesn't help the other system if the focus of the mission is on Mikunn. According to the documentation and in game text doing courier missions to other systems for the Dukes should have an affect on those other systems.

The main reason we are doing those as well are to get allied, and possibly help the Dukes grow, either through another economic boom or another expansion; however, since we are experiencing a bug right now none of this will help anyway.

I'm making my way towards Mikuun this afternoon. I am but a poor Sidewinder pilot, but a fair dogfighter. If you'll have me, I'd like to help expand the reach of the Dukes.

Come and join the fun. Adding you.

U can run data missions, or thee are missions to retreive military plans , rare artworks, prototype tech and black boxes they pay 10-20k per time, u just need to cruise around the USS sites and pickup the boxes return them ( and run them ) from outposts only as a general guide, as stations will scan u and they are illegal but if u fly to outposts u can dock without sys authority scanning u , complete the mission without incurring a fine.
There another hole that if u find a uss with say 5 mil plans, u can return to station, and every 20 mintues or so accept and instantly finish that mission 1 per time, u dont actually need to fly to the system in the mission if u have the mil plans etc in youre hold u can finish the mission without leaving the station, most missions neec 1-2 of the items but the USS where u find them can have 5 at a time. With a viper with say 3-4 of each misson objective i can make some healthy credits without even leaving very often. But finding a USS with the cargo canisters can also be a hassle.

Don't listen to Ollo, TeslaCoil. You are welcome to play however you want, including fighting if that's what you want to do. Check out the ComWatch as it has a lot of useful info on how you can help and it includes ways to help for every playstyle. In the meantime, get allied with the Dukes in whatever way you find the most interesting.

Ollo, we have asked you to not post constant updates and tell other players what to do, particularly as the information you give is often incorrect or skewed. Also impersonating me in chat by making a similar account name as mine and subsequently commanding others to do things under my name was not appreciated.... Nor were the nasty reddit posts. Its been almost three weeks now, and you know you are doing it as we have discussed it with you. I have been very patient, but I am going to have to ask you to please leave this thread.

You will certainly be able to find other threads that are more your playstyle and you will probably find that more enjoyable anyway.

All gameplay is just as valid as the other, combat trade and non combat missions.

If youre just starting out though the delivery and retreival missions can be a quick and easy way of getting credits so u can afford that cobra, viper or asp or whatever else u wish to fly. I picked them out as an example. As part of this experiement there are private chat channels, forums, mailing lists, and teamspeak servers. Id advise u to use all 4.

Of course if u CHOOSE to do these courier missions u can either choose to do mikunn to HR - i just did one that originated from the dukes to the dukes and got civil unrest and lockdown up as the end result, or u can do HR to HR. Im working personaly on going between gabriels outpost and the other outpost and the station in HR doing missions from the dukes to HR dynamics where possible but to any faction delivering war intel and propaganda messages, i can do quite a few of these but thats just me personally and im just offering suggestions only

All of my posts are suggestions on what u can do. And stories as to what im doing. There are plenty of posts by others on this thread as to the combat and what u can do there, and how u can help with trade, walt ( and others ) have a good bit of information on comwatch, for sure check that for updates, its where he coordinates everything on these elite forums and where u can get his guidence, and its something he has complete control over and its full of very important up todate information

Walt may want to edit yorue last post and take the personal attacks, trolling and baiting out of it thanks Now we can get back on topic have a nice day-night ( im going to stick around as im also partaking in this experiement )
Now can we call an end to all personal discussion and get back to the topic of this thread the mikunn experiment and discuss the ins and outs of whats required

It was not a personal attack, there is none present in my post. And I'm certainly not trolling my own thread. It is and remains a polite request for you to leave, with an explanation as to why. I appreciate your polite response but I don't feel its sincere because of the wording and your past actions after multiple people asked you to stop before.

As a result my polite request for you to leave this thread stands. I feel uncomfortable asking it, but there it is.


Also anyone can ask for something to be added to the comwatch. In fact, many of the things on there are from suggestions from other people.

 

[Walt Kerman]

Added TeslaCoil to the list.

 

[CMDR FRZA]

Had to reset ,because....reasons, so am far from home now....how goes the fight? Are we seeing any movement now post patch?

 

[Walt Kerman]

I don't think the patch addressed any of our issues. Oh well. And no movement on the homefront that I know of.

 

[LiU-KanG]

Yeah i have done loads of missions in hr and from mikunn towards hr for the dukes. not even a single movement ...

 

[donpost]

I wish the devs would come in here and say something, even if it's just "We don't know what's going on but we're looking at it".

 

[JohnWayne]

As I understand, the ruling faction has 55% of influence, and Dukes have 9%. So, some other factions have remaining 36% of influence. Is it posible to gain more influence by attacking these lesser factions in the sistem?
Sorry if you already tried it.

Yes, it would be nice if the OP could make a summary of what we have already tried, e.g.:

- Missions: etc.
- Attacks
- Factions attacked ...

I'm sure the boss will add anything I've missed but as far as I know since the expansion we have tried:

.​

• Trading with the Duke station at Mikunn
• Hitting the vessels of major faction in HR 7327 as and when we see them (both System Authority vessels and regular Dynamics vessels)
• Raiding the "Checkpoint"s
• Missions in Mikunn (origin system)
• Missions for the Dukes at the stations in HR 7327

.​

..and the grand total of our efforts has been: not a bean. Nada. Rien. Smeg all.

To be fair, these were tried before the 1.04 patch. While we were doing these, only the first consequence in the mission summary was being applied (besides personal reputation, I'm guessing). So it might be worthwhile to continue on and see where it goes.

 

[dr.zli]

I was shotr on credits so I started taking out elite anaconda missions, I can confirm that they don't affect HR at all, just random factions in systems around and only reputation
