Veteran needs a 2 years update

[Ian Doncaster]

Another one : Last week, a faction invaded (8th one) one of my controlled systems, lauching a war with another (non-native) faction. The invading faction lost the war (0-2) which ended last tick. They're still in. I thought they should retreat (maybe not) immediately ?

They retreat after the end of the recovery tick for the conflict.

Tick A: 0-1, war active
Tick B: 0-2, war ended
Tick C: faction is gone

Same as for a normal retreat - the outcome is decided at the start of the final tick, but the faction doesn't actually disappear until the end of it.

@Broken_One : no idea, not sure of your method and I don't want to go wanted/unfriendly that way.

interesting.

Yea I went over the line and got some bounties b.c I did not understand the system. There is a system to it however.

The hardest part is having a bounty with one side or the other -- then being interdicted by a bounty hunter. If you fight back you get more issues. Learned that the hard way.

If it is a controlling faction vs a minor faction this is part of it.

Anyways, I am trying to sus out the ROE's -- like I said it was my first time trying to win a war. -- I just noticed that the blue bar went much further to the right when I actually went after the objective. --- Strangely enough I think I got paid for murdering a bureaucrat (vice getting a bounty I was paid a bounty) -- Also any fines and bounties seemed to be really low, Like in the hundreds of credits, as long as I played by the rules. -- Though I am hostile with them now for sure. I like the realism though.

Linked bugreport in that thread says "Fixed"... but maybe it's not?

Still Elite Dangerous I guess
After a 2 years break I must say its alot better in general. Especially the bgs which is both more stable and more understandable (= behaves as expected). Also some other things.
Sad thing you need a 2 years break to feel satisfied about the game polishing tho.
Anyway... Thanks again !

I was about to say thanks but no. They've been removed a few hours after the (C) tick... Filthy Feds !

Faction details for each system are cached locally and can be held for several hours from when you first view/visit the system in that game session. Shutting down the game and re-starting it shortly after the daily tick (currently approx. 13:30 https://elitebgs.app/tick ) will force an update from the server.

I disregarded that indeed.
