Retreat: BGS guide best current thinking

We would need the system name so we could check the Inara graphs, if the system was updated every day after the tick, so we can see if something was missed.
 
We've had a minor faction retreat out of a system, but we can't seem to figure out why.
In the crucial ticks the faction was above the 2.5% threshold, yet after Tick 6 are gone.
They were in civil unrest and famine, would these have had an effect?

are you sure those are the numbers after influence calculations were finished?
are those numbers taken from station news?

Faction definitely at 5.2% on the 16th (5th tick), confirmed well after processing was done. The 6th tick was 3.3% on the RHS panel though, but given the 6th is often the "pack your bags" tick we didn't look too hard. We still put some INF down though.

i guess you mean lowAt yuan.

retreat went pending at friday, 10th of march.

your counting is a day off.

i can only recommend to play it less sharp - sometimes data isn't perfect, sometimes counting of ticks is off, mistakes happen - if you really want that retreat not to happen work a faction every tick and keep them over 2,5% + state penalties (in most cases 4,5%), while making extra sure on the very tick they get the influence they need.

It was the 10th for you, 11th for me and it ran the full duration. I forgot the joys of a globe and time.

But yeah its a bit dodgy and we'll all have to work to work even harder now. Thank You.

The timezone difference wouldn't matter since Inara adjusts accordingly but anyway you were right. 6th day of active Retreat that faction was at 3.3% according to Inara which was updated on Inara HOURS after the influence tick but the faction still Retreated. I would blame the Famine but that state doesn't drain influence unlike Blight but there was no Blight prior. Is a mystery indeed.
