Welcome back CMDR!
Also after your update for me:
>ISINOR
>Faction: Chapter of Isinor faction
>Rep Systems: Anotchadiae*, Reshas and LTT 5053
is missleading for interested CMDR's and can result in big disappointments.
Controlling faction is now: "ISINOR GOLD NATURAL LTD" . Watch the map!
Hard to believe that "Chaptor of ISINOR" with his <4% is able to bring it back to them.
May be a "PowerPlay"-failure. But Frontier change massiv again and again without any notice.
Yes, it appears this may be the case, as I can verify they are currently at 54% and the controlling faction.
There IS a way to change this, but it would be very hard. With no stations in the system, AT ALL, the only way to move these percentages is to blast Gold Natural LTD ships till they go to 0%. Then, whoever gains control, blast them, and so on and so forth. Thankfully, the ships in the convoy ARE owned by Gold Natural, so a wing can steadily grind them down, and this can be repeated till the chapter eventually gains control
Also, doing missions for the chapter OUTSIDE the system DOES influence them INSIDE the system as far as I know. But the real challenge is getting the chapter high enough to actually take control again.
But yea, the convoy beacons still aren't really worth the time for what you can get for it. You only get 4-6 antiquities which can be sold for 90k credits. You have to destroy both condas (ramming one of them to death before you attack is a good way to even the odds), and then you have to use hatchbreakers on the T9 (which of course has point defense). Then you have to sell the darn things. All this takes a good 10-15 minutes, which could have been used for simple trading, and there is no additional benefit that balances out the decrease in profits.
Of course, if you want to wait even LONGER, you can simply equip a wake scanner and an interdictor, wait till the T9 warps out, then follow it to the system it jumps to and interdict it. Then you won't have to deal with the condas. I actually just followed the thing, and eventually it just low waked, so interdictor is entirely optional.
If there was a way to make it where the chapter utilizes a unique MISSION, which pays INCREDIBLY WELL (like, at LEAST 1M or more), making the place a potential location for grinding (alternatively, they could make antiquities like 900k each), then people with the permit like myself might actually have a reason to grind out the antiquities. FD could also just ADD new factions for Gold Natural LTD to surrounding systems to make the permit work again too.......
