Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval Weekly Objectives for Cycle 56

[Cori]

Good morning Commanders!

From Reddit:

Weekly Objectives for Cycle 56__________________________________________________
Hail, CMDRS!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.
__________________________________________________
Preparation
Please Prepare:
•LU XIANGU=
Systems are Prepared by collecting Preparation Materials from any Aisling Duval Control System and delivering them to the target system.
= 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 an Advanced Discovery Scanner before these bases are discoverable.
__________________________________________________
Expansion
Please Expand:
•Yen Hsini=
Systems are Expanded by collecting Expansion Materials from the system that is being Expanded, and delivering them to any Aisling Duval Control System.
= 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 an Advanced Discovery Scanner before these bases are discoverable.
__________________________________________________
Fortification
Click here to be taken to the Aisling Duval trello page where fortification and other cycle objectives are tracked and routinely updated by members of the community to ensure their accuracy.
If you do not wish to use the Trello, a static list of targets to fortify is provided below. Bear in mind that this list will not be updated routinely, and it is best to consult either the Trello or in-game to ensure that these systems have not already reached their fortification totals.
Please Fortify:

• Kherthaje=
• Chankates=
• Conii - to MAX 50% only
• Blod
• HIP 95256
• HIP 105391
• Bellaung
• HIP 114709 - to MAX 50% only
• Aurawala^ - to MAX 50% only
• Yan Musu - to MAX 50% only
• Cartoi - to MAX 50% only

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/SCRAP Targets
While the Powers are cooperating in their attempts to improve the fairness and mechanical consistency of Powerplay as a whole, we will be abstaining from providing "effective" undermining targets against other powers.
Until such a time as this arrangement changes, we will be compiling a list of agreed-upon Anarchy control systems belonging to each power where undermining will be freely permitted for the purpose of acquiring merits. Stay tuned for more on this, and consult the Slack if you have any questions.
__________________________________________________
If you wish to be a part of the team that makes the decisions that affect our power, please register on the Aisling Duval Slack and Verify your account to be invited into the channels where these conversations take place.
Go forth with honour and integrity, CMDRs. Let the will of the people continue to drive the Empire forward to a better tomorrow!

Never ever fortify: Chnumar, CD-68 29, Panganau, Daibo, Kuki An, HIP 10786, Gregebus. You will make baby Aisling cry.

Fly safe, commanders.

Objectives finalised.

So I flew all the way down to Yen Hsini to start expanding, but soon found out that that part of galaxy has a lot more void than other parts, and I'm not allowed to jump anywhere in my Cobra because of the        jump range. There are too many systems exceeding my jump range (9.57Ly max) to get anywhere. Even after I sold my weapons I still cannot jump anywhere while carrying any cargo, including the Aisling contracts. This sucks. I'll either have to find a better jump engine, although I think the one I have now is a 4C, or don't bother with PowerPlay until I get a better ship.

Your willingness to help the Princess is appreciated, Commander; however, no-one will think less of you if you wish to spend your time making money to improve your ship instead first.

As you have discovered, a jump range under 10 light years is nothing in this galaxy, and I would suggest you need closer to 15 or 20, and perhaps something at least the size of an AspX.
