Retreat: what is the day that a Faction must absolutely be under 2.5% ?

[Ian Doncaster]

Recent counter-example

Einheriar (Eol Prou TN-W b17-6) - History

cdb.sotl.org.uk

Lobos de Loki are over 2.5% for days 1, 2 and 3 of the retreat, but still retreat at the end of day 6

EDIT: actually, depending on what you mean by "2 last days in a row" that might not count. Here's a couple of better ones

Colonia Cooperative retreat takes 7 days despite them never exceeding 2.5%

Hephaestus (Eol Prou LW-L c8-28) - History

cdb.sotl.org.uk

Infinity's End Deep Space Company retreats after 6 days despite exceeding 2.5% on days 3, 4 and 5

Magellan (Eol Prou IW-W e1-3246) - History

Thanks.
To add a conclusion - hell knows how that mechanix works

This is basically a generic definition valid for almost any bgs mechanics. Congratulations, you have found Zen. %)

The data all fits this, I think:
- 6 or 7 day length, picked randomly but with a strong bias towards 6
- 2.5% or below on the final day causes a retreat
- influence on days 1 to 5 is not significant

Not sure about this.
I did an experiment not so long ago - https://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystem/3108/.
Retreating faction (Raven's Scouts) was below 2.5% from the first day of the retreat till the last day. At the final (6th) day I have dumped tons of influence into them by running missions and doing trading. This had to push them far above 2.5% (which is not guaranteed of course, but very likely). Still they had retreated anyway.

I would better say 5-7 days (and 6-8 days when the faction dissapears from the system). The mechanics is random.

That I would expect - the influence at the start of day 6 was below 2.5%, so if it was a 6-day retreat there would then be nothing you can do to stop them retreating no matter how much you put in during that day.

Yes, I vaguely recall seeing a 5-day one as well. But mostly 6 days rather than the other lengths.
