Weekly Objectives for Cycle 47
Hail, CMDRS!
In the immortal words of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - DON'T PANIC!
We are in turmoil this cycle, but this was a deliberate, planned move organised by the Slack community in order to help strengthen our economy through the shedding of deficit systems. We have managed to get four such systems into turmoil this cycle, and as a result we will be looking to remain in a negative-CC state to ensure that those systems are kicked out.
The in-game descriptions do a terrible job of explaining this, but turmoil can under the right conditions be the best possible outcome for a faction, and this week's result is a perfect example of that. If we can constrain our fortifications and ensure that only the very best systems of ours are fortified, we can greatly improve our starting CC balance and make our Power much more economically feasible for the future.
In line with this the priorities for the objectives this week may appear to be slightly unorthodox, but if you take the time to examine the literature and the stats behind the scenes it should be fairly clear that this is the best possible course for us to take as a power. If you have any questions about why this is the case please drop a message and we will do our utmost to help improve your understanding of the mechanics involved.
As always, the following are a list of suggested actions, assembled through the collaboration of the Aisling Duval community, that we feel will best serve the needs of our Princess's administration.

Primary Objective Merit-Grinding Task: Expansion
We want to ensure that we remain in turmoil this cycle, so please do not use fortification as a means of grinding merits.
If you need to gain your merits from a cargo-hauling role, please work on our Expansions for the remainder of the cycle. If we can successfully remain in Turmoil they will be blocked from succeeding anyway, but it would be less detrimental for grinding to take place here than in fortifying our Control Systems.
Please Expand:
Ekono
HIP 109203
Systems are Expanded by collecting Expansion Materials from the system that is being Expanded, and delivering them to any Aisling Duval Control System.
__________________________________________________
Secondary Objective: Targeted Fortification
In order to remain in turmoil and ensure that our shedding plan is successful, we ask that pilots please only work to fortify the following "green" systems. For any systems that are not on this list, please do not fortify them even if they show as undermined or under threat throughout the week. If necessary, we will revise the list at a later date to make sure we stay on track, but the best thing we can do to help improve our economic position is to ensure that the systems in turmoil all revolt and drop from our control immediately.
A static list of fortification targets for the cycle is provided below.
Please Fortify:
HIP 95256
HIP 105391
HIP 114709
Aurawala^
Kaukhe
Aowica
Cailli=
Yan Musu
Bellaung
Cartoi
LTT 1289
Kauruku
Systems are fortified by collecting fortification materials from Cubeo only and delivering them to the target system.
^ Medium-pad outpost facilities only
= Medium pad outpost starport system, but with planetary bases with large pads available to CMDRs with Horizons. The system will need to be pinged with a Discovery Scanner before these bases are discoverable.
Do not fortify any systems that are already at 100% fortification. Remember the One-Ton Test: Drop 1t of fortification materials at the station first, and check to see if the trigger has already been met. If it has, please find another system to fortify instead!
Please report your contributions to fortification values in the Reports field of the Aisling Duval Slack.

Undermining
As the target undermining systems can change and update daily, please register with the Aisling Slack to be provided with community undermining targets for this cycle.

Preparation: Not Possible
We are in turmoil and are unable to prepare any systems.
Systems are Prepared by collecting Preparation Materials from any Aisling Duval Control System and delivering them to the target system.

Go forth with honor and integrity, CMDRs, and please continue to do your best to help ensure the success of our Princess’s dream for a just and free Empire! Let our unity of purpose and vision drive us towards a better future!

Also, to keep an eye on our dynamic objectives list, which changes as the cycle progresses, please visit the webpage at https://trello.com/b/HBY3rRZR/aisling-duval
As last week, I should also probably point out:
Never fortify:
Chnumar
CD-68 29
Panganau
Karakasis
Daibo
Kuki An
HIP 10876
Gregubus
Generally speaking, these systems do not make a profit: in fact, they cause us a loss. Fortifying then only reduces our ability to get rid of them.
