What is up with conflict zones?

I jump into one, regardless of level and there are NO SHIPS fighting, took waiting for like 10 minutes in one for things to start up.
 
make sure to move towards the center?
iirc you pop in around 9km from center and the ships appear when you get close to less than 7.5km

edit: also if the timing is right after daily tick and it is the first day of war - the CZ might appear/work a little bit later.
 
Yeah I did that with one and nothing happened, was in a multicrew with a viewer with another joining in with the faction and so far nothing, pretty consistent, we had ONE zone work as it should but as stated, took like 5/10 minutes of sitting there twiddling our thumbs.

The WORST part is then the game decides to spawn that elite captain on my face, at least the game has the decency to either spawn the friendly corvette as well or the super group of ships to help out or I would be so dead. I don't know what they did to conflict zones but I know years ago when I first played I could fly into a conflict zone regardless of intensity and there would ALWAYS be combat.
 
Hm, never tried this in a wing, so maybe the problems are with multiplayer?
Captains are not that much of a threat, since the only thing they do ist soaking up all dps i got without getting a dent in their shields.
Special Ops however are a real pain ;)
 
Yeah, conflict zones are BROKEN when in multicrew or maybe even a wing, I'll have to check later with a wing, jump into a zone with a multicrew and NOTHING appears, which is stupid because before the crew formed I was shooting ships aplenty perfectly fine, instead of adding stupid carriers they need to fix the damn systems and mechanics they have in the game to work properly, jeez, apparently I and my viewers will need to jump through stupid hoops to do things like this I guess.
