Supporters of Arissa Lavigny-Duval : Stop Preparing DONGZI

[edgar]

Supporters of Arissa Lavigny-Duval have targeted Dongzi for Preparation.

This System will make a Command Capital Loss of -26 CC if it is ever Expanded into, however astonishingly it is Number 2 in the Top Ten Systems for Preparation (highlighted):

Fellow A Lavigny-Duval supporters, if you read this PLEASE STOP hauling Corruption Reports to Dongzi at once.

As an alternative the Carverda System could produce a 116 CC PROFIT if won, but is way down at 7th Place, how about shifting some effort to this System instead, to boost its ranking?

Out of the current Preparation List we should focus efforts on:

• CARVERDA (116)
• LUTNI (102)
• NAUANI (96)
• CARTOI (91)

The rest of the Top Ten for Arissa are pretty low yield, and should just be ignored.

Better Preparation Candidates need to be found and Corruption Reports hauled to them instead, to get them onto the Top Ten List:

I've highlighted the relevant parts of the Galaxy Map in the image above, to help CMDRs seeking unlisted Preparation Targets.

Select "Powerplay" in the Map View Tab, and then choose A Lavigny-Duval from the dropdown menu.

Tick the "Expansion" box to view potential Expansion Targets.

Valid Target Systems are colour-coded:

• Green for High Profit
• Orange for Medium Profit
• Red for Low Profit
• Grey for Loss-Making (never haul here!)

​Hovering over, or selecting a System brings up a detail panel, the panel shows the Potential Profit for the System highlighted in blue. Values above 80 CC are pretty good.

Hopefully this week we will be able to pull together and get Dongzi OUT of the Top Ten, and get some nice HIGH PROFIT TARGETS listed instead, before the next Cycle.

CARTOI is what we are after. the "Peoples" Princess is opposing us there.

I say enough preparation has been done. Or would have been done if bad choices hadn't been made; now they apparently need correcting.

As for me, I'm off undermining Hudson. Winters is much easier to undermine quickly due to her methods, but we *want* the ineffectual, weak Liberals ruling the Federation...

I think Trader CMDRs should persist in improving the Preparation Listings if they can.

I agree about Undermining Hudson, as a more Combat focused pilot I myself spent today helping get Sol System Undermining up from 12% to 68%. Racked up a 400k+ Bounty on my head from Federal Congress in the process. Zero opposition there in Open today, they really need to up their game ha.

We need more of this type of info to better coordinate expansion efforts. +rep to OP.

As a Fed, I approve of posting your tactics on the forums

It's all in good sport (for this first week, anyway...)

I wouldn't bother undermining the Fed, they already seem to be at each other throats. Typical democracy.

Long term the ones to watch are Archon and his minions, they look thoroughly organized. They're already coming for Patrues in force.

Villain players in any game are usually some of the best and most organized, most invested players. Was a zombie with a strike team for a long time with the RRF in Urban Dead. Our horde's command structure and organization was at once fun and lethal, while the "goodguys", the harmans, were more interested in drama and bleating most of the time to be a real challenge on any kind of strategic level. They tasted good though.

Then there was that 40K world event, where the Disorder forces only lost at the eleventh hour, after ruining the forces of Order for pretty much the entire campaign with seriously effective international leadership between players across the earth.


Hrm, guess it might be time to check out the Archon...

 

[lefty1117]

I see something similar in Hudson, though not as bad - old beta system Opala has a higher potential profit than any of those in the current top 10, yet people aren't preparing it. Though they're preparing Aulin which is right next door.

Agreed, a method to coordinate is badly needed.

Just shouting "Stop Doing this, Stop Doing that, the sky is falling!" on the Forums doesn't seem very effective at all, I think only a minority of all the players look at the forums anyway.

A simple message board to leave short messages (perhaps limited to 140 characters, Twitter style?) to other Power Members would be nice, only accessible to those who Pledge, and perhaps only available at HQ?

I like this idea, add it to the suggestions forum section

Yesterday I started preparing a system whoch was about 80ly away with potential profit around 120+, I'll post the name next time I play, should be this afternoon.

Not sure how the whole voting thing works though, how do you vote for a system that is not in the top 10? Do you just need to get to the minimum threshold of 100 preparation points for it to appear in the list? Or can you only vote for the top 10 systems?

Afaik there is already created for each power (see ED subreddit for more details). However, that means you still are prone to spying.

 

[Vasious]

I do not find this lack of co-ordination, even in discussions on a lack of co-ordination, encouraging

Thanks, I've gone ahead and made a thread in the Suggestions Subforum https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=153250 if you would like to add your support to it.

Good news that Power subforums might be on the way at least:

We hear you on this, thanks for the input thus far. Will be working to get something rolling on this soon.

 

[Rysterical]

Do I understand correctly that bounties will just expire in 7 days? And not convert to fines that need to be paid off? Asking, cause I've been doing some undermining, when Im not hauling reports

yes.
I'm sitting on 200000+ right now

 

[PsychoFish]

If i remember correctly, Dongzi had a positive income before Patreus took it over (it's under expansion).

Now people supply it, because it's high on the list and they don't care how to grind.

This whole new toy seriously lack explanation or tutorial.
But bump to get more people aware.
