Please note changes to Undermining and Expansion.
"I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of orders." - NCO Creed
The following is a copy/paste from the Hudson reddit site with a corrected typo. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteHudson/comments/3teoyc/week_25_strategy_updated_daily/
I'll update it daily until one of our leaders return.
Overview
We are currently in 2nd place with 210cc to spend
We have 8 expansions in our list this week, which remove a large chunk or our CC surplus. In order to manage this, please do not push any expansions and avoid fortifying all but our most profitable systems. These orders may end up changing mid-way through the week.
For the Federation! o7

Preparation
"Choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you" -- Grail Knight, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
We will be preparing a system specifically to contest ALD systems. It displays 12 contested, but only shows 10, which adds 77cc to their current deficit.
Since we are only preparing one system this cycle, drop you nominations ASAP.

Fortification
"What is the object of defence? To preserve. To preserve is easier than to acquire." -- Carl von Clausewitz
"To Uddermine is great but to Fortify is Bovine!" -- The Battle Cattle
We want to go into turmoil this cycle. Please limit your fortifying,
First off, please review the Fortification for Dummies post to check to make sure you're aware of everything. There are various ship builds there too. Also take a look at the Fortification Backhauling guide to help out with some cost recovery.
The Plan
As always start with Matlehi, Di Kuana, and Nurundere, and try to limit your fortifying to only our most profitable systems, as we do want turmoil this week. I encourage everyone to make at least one run to each.

Expansion
"Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning" -- Benjamin Franklin
We want to help Winters by opposing ALD's expansion into their space. Do not be concerned with our expansions this week, as we are planning to be in turmoil. We have two systems on the list that will reduce our CC by 125, and will contest systems in Winters space.
Oppose ALD's expansion Mbutsi.

Active Combat Zones
"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war" -- William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
This is where you will find out about CZs in the Hudson bubble. Please review Local Minor Factions for Dummies to see how these start and can be affected. It's not just about shooting ships in the combat zones.
Reporting
How does it work?
- When you spot a CZ in a Hudson exploited or controlled system, open this form, fill it, specifying that the conflict is ongoingand submit. That will allow other commanders to see which conflicts are active on this sheet. There's a timestamp in GMT (game time) and more recent submissions are more likely to have active CZs.
- If you arrive in a system that has been previously indicated in the sheet but you find no CZs, then you should open the formand fill it, indicating that the conflict is over. It will be appended to the list so the idea is that any conflict that is not signaled as over may still be there, even if the timestamp is old.
Diplomatic Overview
“America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests” ― Henry Kissinger
Take a look at this excellent post:
Diplomatic Report
If you don't want to read a book - we're good friends with Winters, we're OK with the Alliance, Antal, and Kumo Crew, unfriendly with Sirius and we're hostile with all of the Imperial powers.
We're open to any diplomatic talks with any of the powers at any time, but they will need to make the first move given the current political climate.
