R.I.P. Bunda: Now I'm a bit disappointed in the BGS

Does this mean I have to change my tagline: "bunda- the best hive of scum and villainy the bubble has to offer"?

Yeah, Mos Eisley want to push their image upmarket and are looking enviously at your tagline. They're leaning on Disney to influence the Star Wars BGS as we speak...

I'd love a truly dynamic representation of the Milky Way and its inhabitants' civilizations. Example:

A star in a populated system is going to go nova in 3 months. Cmdrs have to evacuate the 4 billion people to a safe area, build facilities to receive them, protect them from pirates, etc etc. And then, after 3 months, the star goes nova. Permanently, persistently, in-game for everyone to see depending on where they are in relation to the star (1 LY away, then 1 year from now you'll see the star go nova in-game..., or go there now and see it now).

But that's not realistic - even in Freespace 2 it was necessary to have the magic Shivans do it to Vega (for no apparent reason either). Novae are common on cosmological time scales, but exceedingly rare in human lifetimes. You want a scripted action game?

If you don't like the anarchy faction being removed from power, do something about it. I've seen this reaction too many times. The game doesn't hold your hand. You need to grab it by the balls. Git gud.

Le sigh...

Quite.

Bunda is a Winters Control System, isn’t it? Hard to say who flipped it, but that might provide a clue.

The political leaning of the controlling faction doesn't matter for control systems. It does for exploited systems though. That's why I'd be very surprised if a Winters PP group flipped it - they almost certainly have better things to do than flip a very large system that they don't need to.
