I think we should create a topic to make a deal with other Empire factions.
As i can see now, all system in turmoil were undermined by other Empire factions. They are all in their teritory.
If simply we could share the remaining systems in Empire space, we could then focus on expanding on other power territory.
Coca, I know you mean well, but perhaps it's better to not get involved with the strategics of this. Those systems in turmoil, we want to lose them! They lose us CC, so we have to get rid of them, and it's good that they are being undermined. It's a 'one step back, two steps forward' kind of thing.
As I understand it, there are ALD supporters that pledged with other Powers just to undermine the systems we want to get rid of.
Now, I don't know nearly enough about the underlying mechanics of powerplay either, but that's exactly why I just take orders from the people here that do
(And in the meantime, I try to read a bit about how poerplay actually works. The data from in-game isn't up to date, and often just plain wrong. This spreadsheet
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...pYxw_fvIJ1jp2NTsh0PScMVLmM/edit#gid=958008605 seems to be the data that's most accurate and up to date)
