Do no other minor factions have moveable Megaships? I notice the Gnosis is ‘controlled’ by a separate faction.
Thanks for your explanation Ian Doncaster.
Thanks for your explanation Ian Doncaster.
Do they?as many faction-owned megaships move in this manner throughout the bubble without causing issues.
Was Segnen's security/economy also reset? They had a big influence jump, but that's logical if the only other faction in the system lost all its influence to a bug - the other factions in Zende did also take a influence jump when Zende Partners went to 0% there (it was just a smaller one since Zende didn't have much influence to start with, and there were more factions to spread it between)If it was some sort of corruption caused by the megaships, the securities and economies of the factions in Zende should also have been reset, as Segnen's was in the CG system.
About the only way to actually prove otherwise would be to push the security slider down on a day when the megaships aren't jumping and see what happens. But if it doesn't go down you'll never be able to tell the difference for certain between Frontier sneaking on some positive security behind the scenes and players having read this thread doing positive security actions.I'll always believe it's intended until proven otherwise, though
Why would they do that? This CG doesn't need to pass anyway - if it fails, Segnen can blame Zende for mismanagement of the system and claim that it would be better if they were in charge, then start the war that way. Sure, there then wouldn't be a Guardian Tech Broker at the outpost ... but that's not essential, and they've quite happily left stations with poor services after partly-complete CGs before., it's certainly a very helpful coincidence. Actually, now that I think about it, this CG doesn't look like it's going to hit Tier 1 anyway. Last time that happened, Frontier called it off, citing a supposed bug. Maybe they'll use that again, would be a neat way out if they need one.
So you tried to in the pool, but the "pool guy" came along behind you and scooped it out with his net.
I know you thought it would be funny, but let's give a quick reality check: "player agency" doesn't necessarily mean "anything goes."
This. It is one of the design philosophies behind ED since day one, where every individual can have a small influence on the galaxy (creating the dynamic setting) while preventing where possible that a handful of 'dedicated' people can screw things up for everything else.
Have I interpreted your meaning incorrectly or are you just confused and salty you don't have enough friends to attempt something like this?
How do we know they aren't changing things to ensure the result of the Initiative is as expected.
It's already happened once.
1) That is not how you talk to people when you want clarification on something.
2) Having read the OP, I am unsure why you think I am the salty one.
so you get to bring the proof.
You must be new here.
But seriously, your argument doesn't hold water. Either the actions of a Commander are dynamic upon the galaxy and therefore taken in aggregation will have a greater impact on the galaxy or as you suggest the efforts of a group are not meaningful in any way in which case any individual impact must count for nothing.
So which is it?
Go educate yourself, form a cohesive argument and come back with some mates.
Not really sure what position to take in this, but...
it's even stated in the official community goal guide (see here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/community-goal-guide.297632/) that BGS can and may affect CG's.
copy/paste:
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF THE BGS AND PLAYER ACTIONS.
The Background Simulation (BGS) can have a number of effects on the functionality of CGs.
A number of trade CGs in the past have had their market removed by a player group by putting the system into a state of Lockdown, an adverse effect of attacks on clean targets. This effectively stalls a trade CG. Handing in bounty vouchers to the station would be needed to counter the effects.
Another form of disruption to CGs is UA Bombing (Delivering large quantities of Unknown Artifacts to the Black Market of the hosting station). This will cause technical difficulties for the station, again closing some services.
Keeping an eye on the CG thread in Community Goals discussion will keep you up to date on any developments.
Those who are cackling with delight that OP's efforts were god-modded away are, in my view, tacitly admitting that they are players who depend on cheat codes over skill and knowledge.
This sentence does not make sense to me. Could you expand on it please?
It seems you are suggesting that collaborative gameplay is not achievable in Elite. Have I interpreted your meaning incorrectly or are you just confused and salty you don't have enough friends to attempt something like this?
Or alternatively, people who feel that John Doe, who gets to play ED for two hours during the weekend, should be allowed to have some fun with a single CG. It is just a question of how much you want people to influence the galaxy. Some want it to be all the way (so you can permanently blow up Earth, Shinrarta etc). Others, like me, feel that that would be a situation where a few people would have fun at the expense of many more people who would not like that. I am sure some would want there to be no influence at all, and you're just a tiny Han Solo at all times. Most fall somewhere in between. I feel screwing up this CG would not be fun for most people, so I'd rather have the people who are into that muck up something somewhere else.
Reducing that discussion to "u just noob cheater lol" is rather... weak.
OP's efforts were god-modded away...
Anything that Ouberos does in the BGS is counterable by you and all who feel likewise. You do understand that, don't you?
Your logical fallacy is black or white
You presented two alternative states as the only possibilities, when in fact more possibilities exist.tinyurl.com
The truth is quite obvious: your actions can have some influence on the galaxy, but you cant have all the influence you are after. That has made your very upset, and resulted in a bunch of posts where you pretend no influence/agency exists because you didn't get the thing you wanted.
I think we're too old for such nonsense, really.
No u.
Yes, I do. I also understand it is a bit peculiar to expect John Doe to grind his butt off during the week just to be allowed to have a CG in the weekend. It is simple: I feel casual players should be allowed to have some casual fun with the CG without some hardcore players mucking that up. You disagree? Fine. But try to disagree without the "u prolly cheater! U no understand game!". I already have Ouberos for the petty insults about how I am a noob with no friends, one petty fellow is enough.
That's a peculiar way of saying "I think that I should be able to influence the game but not those playstyle I dislike."
