It's 18:00 for me and 19:00 for you Midian, but whatever GMT is called (UMT?) these days it is 17:00... (which is server time as I've gone to bed at midnight just because ED reckons it is 23:00 in the past...)
PSA: War in Carcosa

It has been rough. We have better luck with some of the CZs out by Aragon, but the struggle is real.
i had the vague plan to planetary scan my way to carcosa, dump a helluva explo crap on it for greater glory of the influence indicator, and then get a few small ships ferried over for some going nuts.
this stupid war just foiled all my plans, dammit.
actually, this and the fact that it would put me 22k ly away from the single "irl" pal enjoying this game at this moment. impressive timing!
so, my options are leaving my pal dangling and jumping there with a jump-crappy viper or ... you better win this stupid war and stop messing around with my plans, right?
This is all for you baby.
Usually done by 1700 GMT or 1300 EST (my time).
Hope everyone is having as much fun as we are. All things considered, this has been a real humbling experience. Thanks for making it awesome!
you got me wondering if there's something to this mode if travel.....get wanted, turn yourself in and poof.....Colonia
If you die while wanted in the lagoon nebula you get sent to the omega nebula. Sell your data, loiter on a pad, then get shot down. It only costs your rebuy
Maybe, if we knew where all the detention centers were that could work.
Had fun collecting spare parts from NPC's in Union. Krate had no problems with them.
For me, combat is a slow way to earn money. Going back to trading closer to Colonia's hypocenter.
To overload the servers (instancing issues, lag) is a sign your event was a popular success.

From a strategic and tactical perspective can't say I'm all that upset with this!
It's all about the personal narrative. How can I advance the ganker pathway if there is no one to gank from our strategical and tactical position?

Patience, young one!
I didn't find any enemies--human, that is, in any instance, although there were loads of players about.
I did get attacked by someone in a Krait who interdicted me on the way to Robardin. My two huge beams of my Corrvete didn't touch his shields but I drained my capacitor unloading them and MC's on him. Naturally I ran away, after he burnt through my shields and discovered how much hull tanking I've got.
No drama that someone beat me in a fight, that's standard. But what engineering would make shields so impervious? he just sat in front of me and I didn't touch them- I want some of that!
A Corvette unloading everything--two huge beams and a load of MC's with corrosive and incendiary should affect shields on a Krait at least a bit?

Depends on how long you unloaded on him, how he engineered his shields (reinforced, high thermal res is unusual but not impossible), if you hit at all (gimbal vs. dispersal/chaff), if he had additional guardian shield reinforcements…. or if he cheated.
Well, after winning 2 medium intensity and losing 1 on Monday in my Corvette, I realised something was wrong with the ship configuration so, after googleing I came up with this, which works wonders in solo with my playstyle: I won 3 last night and 1 this morning just before work (again, medium intensity, the one near Bombardin Rock).
The only thing that I regret is that the war should have happened last week when I was off work...

I hit with everything from less than 1k, my disro is G5 charged enhanced, my beams are G5 efficient thermal vent. The remainder of the hardpoints are 2 small corrosive MC's - I know I only need one but for safety got two, the remainder are MC's with incendiary.
That can fire for a good ten seconds or more and he didn't unload chaff, I'm bad at combat but I hit him for basically all of it

Interesting.
A new meta / exploit for fast travel. I wonder if Inara has data on prison ships that I could use.
Sounds iffy. Too bad we don't get reliable statements on that cheating stuff.
I switched from fixed efficient beams to gimballed lightweight beams on my 'Vette on Monday and it works wonders on my time-to-kill.Well, after winning 2 medium intensity and losing 1 on Monday in my Corvette, I realised something was wrong with the ship configuration so, after googleing I came up with this, which works wonders in solo with my playstyle: I won 3 last night and 1 this morning just before work (again, medium intensity, the one near Bombardin Rock).

I was afraid the CZ NPCs chaff too much, but combined with my seeker/rail loadout I can keep them constantly under pressure even if chaffing.
Nice side effect is I can effortlessly fire SCBs while firing the lightweight beams, the synergy of lightweight with thermal vent is awesome.
Oh, and it's R-O-B-A-R-D-I-N Rock. Although Bombardin sounds good too

Thanks yianniv- I haven't got guardian stuff unlocked so where you have guardian I have hull or module reinforcement, all engineered. My Corvette also runs G5 thermal prismatic shields. It gives some 5,000+ mjs of shields with 50% ish thermal. My utility mounts are all shield boosters, all G5 of differing types to max resistances
That's my current CZ 'Vette for comparison:
