Orders 18 MAR - 22 MAR 3307

Project Status:

TDW is currently at 68.6% in ROSS 154!!! GREAT JOB CMDRs!!!

Another conflict, this time an Election, has arisen in ROSS 154 between the Ross 154 Vision Partners and Barnard's Star Advanced Corp. There “should” be enough free INF in the system to allow for TDW to get >75% INF, but the faster this Election ends, the sooner that there will “definitely” be enough free INF in ROSS 154 to let TDW expand.

To that end, SUPPORT ROSS 154 VISION PARTNERS by doing ELECTION MISSIONS for them, typically these are couriering their “poll data”.

We are still hard focused on doing all the things for TDW to get as much INF as possible to hit the >75% INF as soon as possible!

ALL OF YOU ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB! KEEP IT UP!!!

Please remember:
  • Do NOT work for other factions in TDW systems, unless requested below.
  • Do NOT hand in trade goods or cartography data to stations that we do not own.
  • Do NOT hand in bounties for any faction other than TDW in ROSS 154 (Use the interstellar factors in LHS 397 - Zillig Depot to turn in all other bounties)

General Missions & Passengers:
ROSS 154 - Any/All missions offered by The Dark Wheel in Ross 154
ROSS 154 - Any/All passenger missions offered by The Dark Wheel in Ross 154

Conflicts:
ROSS 154 - Support Ross 154 Vision Partners with ELECTION MISSIONS

Bounty Hunting:
Bounty hunting at the following locations:
  • Any of our controlled systems, including ROSS 154
  • ANYANWU Compromised Nav Beacon
  • Resource Extraction Sites in LTT 5455 and other TDW controlled systems
Turn in TDW bounty vouchers earned in these locations at Birkeland City in ROSS 154

Commodity Trading:
Profitable trades into Ross 154 - Birkeland City (All Pads)

Exploration (Cartography) Data:
Hand in cartographic data at Ross 154 - Birkeland City (All Pads)

General Remarks:
  • All TDW Controlled Systems: Until a planned expansion is announced, TDW should have no greater than 65% INF to avoid any unintended expansions.
  • LAVE - TDW is to be #2, ~20% below Lave Radio Network
  • WOLF 433 - TDW is to be #2, at least 20% below LHS 2541 Alliance Combine
  • ARQUE - TDW is a guest of Alliance Rapid-reaction Corps, no work required here
  • As a general rule, when factions in a TDW system are in conflict, we want the native faction (Blue N by their name in Inara when looking at the system) to LOSE. Where two non-native factions conflict, neither winner is “desired”, depending on INF level after the conflict, we would likely boost the LOSER to avoid retreat (happens at 2.5% or lower). Two native factions in conflict can be ignored.

Please continue to use EDMC or similar tools to keep local data up to date.

Keep Turning The Wheel, Hamsters!

Project Status:

TDW is currently at 70.8% in ROSS 154!!! GREAT JOB CMDRs!!!

The Election ended in 4-0, EXACTLY as we needed it to!
TDW needs 4.3% more INF in ROSS 154 and this Expansion will get started!

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE FINAL PUSH TO GET TDW TO EXPAND OUT OF ROSS 154!!!

WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO FINDING OUT WHAT SECRETS SOL MAY OFFER THE DARK WHEEL!!!

Greetings, CMDRs. RL has kept me away for longer than I'd like to admit. I'm headed to Ross 154 with a stop in LTT 5455 to visit the High/Haz RES there and pick up some bounties to redeem.
I hope to be here much more again, RL will hopefully relinquish some of its grip!

Welcome back - just in time to help drive Ross 154 into expansion. :)

I'm glad we're now working towards boosting TDW in Ross 154 - I felt dirty doing a couple of election missions for Ross 154 Vision Partners over the weekend!

Been doing non-stop hi-inf missions today, with profitable trading where possible. Must have gained something like 250 INF. Rather disappointed to see that we're actually down today. :unsure:

Yeah - the last 5% is going to be the toughest:
- ultra-high traffic system next to a CG and a rescue site (which might cool down a bit in a couple of days, maybe, if the plot moves elsewhere for a bit?)
- superpower factions for added bounty pressure against you
- every action any of them gets needs to be countered three or four times over by you just to stand still, and then you need exponentially more on top of that to make progress.

The Infrastructure Failure on Vision Partners starting today will help you, though - that's 1% a day off their influence before other considerations, most of which will go straight to you, for the next week or so. That might tip the balance...

TDW is holding strong at 70.0% in ROSS 154!!!

This system is certainly a tough nut to crack!

ALL OF YOU ARE DOING AMAZING JOB PUSHING INF INTO TDW!!!

There are discussions revolving around whether or not all of our efforts are causing an “overflow” in the BGS math. We of course cannot know this for sure unless FDev comments on it.

In the meantime, let’s force the issue and either break the BGS (possibly more than it is) completely and/or force the math to do what all of us want it to do!!!

  • Do NOT hand in trade goods or cartography data to stations that we do not own.

Highly unlikely. As large and active as your group is it's unlikely to be throwing in more volume than a typical trade+bounty CG combination with several thousand participants, and those still behave normally. There is a straightforward test you could do, though, if you consider it a serious possibility - significantly reduce the amount of work you're putting in: if there's an overflow, you'll go up. If there's not, you'll drop further.

Looking at the situation, I'm really impressed you're managing to even hold steady at around 70%. If you can keep that up, you'll probably get there eventually.
(Equally, if you don't reach 75% before the Infrastructure Failures on the other factions wear off, it might be worth taking a break to test LFT 509 instead, then coming back in a couple of weeks when the other factions are eligible for Inf Failures again)

Good luck!

ROSS 154 - The Dark Wheel 76.7% YOU GUYS DID IT!!! CONGRATS!!!

That should trigger the expansion, if so, tomorrow the Pending Expansion tag will pop.

LET’S MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS! ONE LAST PUSH!!!

I will update the standing orders once TDW shows Pending Expansion (estimating ~1630UTC tomorrow)

Fantastic!

I appreciate that my lone cmdr contributions are negligible but I had a great night yesterday at the CNB, partly as I saw other CMDR's for the first time and it felt like we were working together and partly because this appeared:

It's only taken just under 7 years! 🐢

Is everyone ready for the fact that we almost certainly wont expand into Sol? Happy to be wrong but cba with all the salt and Frontier bashing again if people have got hyped up against all the evidence to date. Its still a massive achievement either way...and the real 'test' is yet to come in LFT 509.

Totally ready.
I think Sol is a red herring and LFT509 is the primary target however I'm expecting nothing to happen at either Sol or LFT509.
If this is the case at LFT509 or FD stop it somehow (CG, thargoid attack etc) than I'm happy that a theory has been created and tested to conclusion. It's been a blast and I've learnt a lot about the BGS from some experts who have kindly given their time to advise. (y)
