Inara doesn't show a settlement called "Inson Dredging Base" in Aburu. It might be incomplete, but I'm too far away to pay a visit and check the states.
Who's the controlling faction of that settlement?
Serious problem!

Who's the controlling faction of that settlement?
its the pell system, however it wont let me spell the entire settlement name out directly. please dont ban me or warn me for this moderators! I am just writing down the system settlement name d.i.c.k.i.n.s.o.n. dredging base in Pell system (A7) without the periods. i accidentally wrote the wrong system name before its the Pell system. I dont know what the settlement looks like today but it was that way the last 3 days prior today.
Aha, the word filter strikes again. That's... interesting. Inara says it's Nationals of Yu Tiku that own the settlement, but it hasn't been updated since march. EDDB's records are likewise very old and say Wen Chayause Advanced Services own it.
The system map and left hand panel should be able to show you the actual owner (sadly I've not visited the system before so I can't check in-game myself) but I can see that three of the system's non-controlling factions are in negative states, including the native anarchy faction, and the system controller, Diamond Frogs, are a player group known for getting rid of their surface settlements onto other factions so that people don't harm their influence by raiding them.
I can show you a system that started with 7 initial targets. I ended up with 44. From what I was able to see so far, this might be an outlier - but 32/15 and 28/7 tell me it's not by much...
Oh yes! 34,197 mugs delivered and 23,500 new ports found so far since the event started bringing the total number of known ports up to 201,813 to date. And I deeply suspect that we've had a concentration bias on well traveled systems so I expect that figure to rise dramatically. I believe that 400,000 figure.
I am telling you there is something wrong here with this location and I am pretty sure that its FDev doing it, and if not then they have a serious glitch here.
D.i.ckinson Dredging Base is owned by Pell Future, who is in Civil Unrest. This is why the base is powered down.
It would have entered that state from, funnily enough, being raided lots (which drops security status)
Until that is resolved, the base will remain powered down, no matter how many times you power it back up. That's just how instancing works in the game.
To be completely explicit, this will only change during the daily tick... so if you were relogging at a site and came back to find it powered off... you were playing over the tick.

When I checked it it did not say civil unrest you didnt read my OP.
That's because you played over the tick. Things change before the status reports are seen. Status quo BGS. There can be a long time (up to an hour) between seeing the effects of a status change, and seeing it actually reported in in- game reports.
I did read your OP. You just don't seem to want to hear replies that don't agree with your incorrect claims.
(Those incorrect claims being this is someone actively changing the game in realtime based on watching a stream, which would be totally unprecedented... or a major bug, where the behaviour is consistent with years of observations of the BGS)

Inara says Pell Future (the faction owning the settlement) has been in civil unrest since the 30th, right after a significant drop on the 29th. So when you said you streamed "last week" which day exactly was it?
There we go. The answer to the question I asked, "who actually owns this settlement".
Yes, the controlling faction of the settlement is in civil unrest, there's the answer.
4 incursions does not consitute a HUGE drop.
When I looked it didnt say that and the settlement was offline several times.
4 raids which you did. You can't account for the actions of the player base
The whole system has many factions tipping into or in negative states. Almost certainly you just tipped this one over the edge, and was just a trickle compared to overall system activity.
And once again, you played over the tick, where the effects of a state change can occur well before any information reports are reflected in the game.
This is all well understood behaviour of the BGS.
In a system with only 150k population, it might. If you want to do things like this more stably, pick an ultra-high population system.
But the "huge drop" being referred to was the influence of the Pell Future faction dropping about 2% overnight in a system where daily influence moves are normally fractions of a percent. As others have said, it probably wasn't just you, but rather some combination of factors that led to a lot of players attacking that faction all at once.
Remember: Frontier like to automate things as much as possible - there's no need for them to watch your stream and follow players around to specifically mess with them, when they can build a system to automatically mess with every player at once.
"Some guy putting up a tutorial on youtube that names a specific system" is a very very very powerful factor.
I feel so much the topic not worthy of attention
the move of the inexperienced
this is a game of war, using many many factions to accomplish everything.
finding a gold mine or any type in this game has a very clear distinct history
it is no different than it was when the wild west was being discovered
and to yell GOLD, caused destruction to people and to property..
in another context as the game is called Elite Dangerous and its mostly about survival in space ships...
putting the focus on any given system for exploiting something always leads to the destruction of that system.
Loose lips sink ships
what did you think would happen if anyone watched your video?
situational awareness is a good thing to gain before yelling anything in a combat style game, where people flock to gold rushes.
and to yell wolf on screen before knowing anything about the wolf, is the whole reason the story about the boy who yelled wolf came about in the first place.
history repeats itself on a regular basis, so you are never alone.

I dont do youtube lol
It would be like UA bombing a station. Just you doing it does little or nothing to the station. Hundreds or thousands of players, observing a stream of what you did and how it was done, then following that same example eventually causes a problem with the station, doesn't it? It's not FD doing that; players effect changes in what happens, even if they do it in massive numbers while in Solo mode.
