Mercenaries of Mikunn - The Background Simulation and Colonization Test

Well done, pilots.
We probably have enough pilots to work on at least two systems, maybe more. I guess we'll have to see. We still only have influence in two systems and haven't taken control of a station in the second.
Also some of us aren't quite as effective yet. The Merchants need a station in a growing system to contribute effectively (or at least, with their preferred playstyle).
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that black box, rebel transmissions and similar missions taken in HR 7327 had a negative impact in the influence of a Kwatee faction. Not sure if that was random, but could also be a hint were the Dukes might expand next.
Don't push them up please. They are in the Mikunn'iverse and are a majority faction, meaning we will be fighting them later.

Well, lets focus on getting 100% in HR. If that doesn't work, I'll have to rethink things, lol.
In order to be the controlling faction, we need to own the controlling station, which is likely Hiraga. We win stations through Civil War.
Michael Brookes has stated we need to capture the lesser holdings first, which sounds like the smaller station, Friend Enterprise. But he also stated in a Civil War, we'll get the most valuable a set first. Which seems to contradict the first statement.
Trading is hard. Take the easy way out! Those of you hard up on cash (like me) here is a helpful guide to your first few millions.

Nevermind, i posted my theory...

So I came up with a theory...
In the beginning every system’s stations’ ownerships were more or less randomized to those faction who were living in the system. Therefore some gained one and some gained more stations.
According to numbers in the image, civil war critical became active when faction A had equal influence as faction B. Instant civil war became active when faction A's influence was bigger than the minor factions (factions B, 4 and 5) together and then captured the station. And with a bit of jump in the future where faction A has equal influence as faction 3 which is the controlling faction both should go civil war critical. And later when faction A has more influence than rest of the factions together it’ll capture faction 3’s station and becomes controlling faction.
This theory is supporting Michael Brookes. Invading faction has to capture lesser holdings first which will be done while gaining influence starting from the least influenced station. If a faction controls more than one station, they only lose one which is the most valuable one. This also supports Michael Brookes.
Now that Dukes expanded to HR they gained 9% influence which is a default value for an invading faction. Since then they have raised influence and gained other factions. What happened to these factions when Dukes had equal influence and what happened when Dukes had more influence than lesser factions together? Stations didn’t change ownership, but maybe they should have? This also means that currently it’s impossible to flip ownership of a system because station flipping is bugged.
Do we have data to test my theory?
PS. I checked numbers in the image and did a slight misscalculation. 5th feb A had already more influence than minor factions together. Either it has a one day buffer before the effect becomes active or influence values are calculated as Integers instead of Floats. For non-coders: integer is a rounded number and float has decimals. Then my theory will work.

Enter on your Galaxy map, find Mikunn and click on your system map. Clicking on each station will reveal all the information you're asking for.
Any data you bring will help the faction who control the station you bring it to (DoM)...as a side effect it may help the Major faction (Imperial/Federation/Alliance) and your rep. with them.
You managed to quote my post which I edited. Anyway, I'm in HR so I can check the current state once I get back home, but I don't have the history. You misunderstood the word data. I wasn't talking about returning exploration data... I was talking about historical data about influences and faction states.
'Ninja T'internet' I'm in Lugh and thought I was stating the bleeding obvious, but it's T'internet so thought I should
Dynamic at active Boom? -.-
Yup, that's what's in the System view.
are there Seeking Luxuries active?
-- no, there are not Seeking Luxuries active, i just checked
