The Imperials aren't giving free engineered missiles, though.
Bonds i would think, tiers have been set to make the cg go the distance and like you suggest, would only cause confusion..
But who knows the mind of dev...
Whilst you are enjoying blowing up Imperial vessels, I hope you keep in mind that you are assisting her attempt to evade seizure by the Empire of Achenar, in the running investigation for Liz' involvement with NMLA factors, which is linking her (potentially, which most likely now will never be proven / known due to the outlook of the CG outcome) to the assassination of the late Prince Harold Duval and the terrorist attacks on numerous Imperial stations belonging to the Princess.
I’m having a blast making imperials suck vacuum. If loving that is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!

2 were Aisling, 2 were Arissa.
Silly Imperial does not know left from right, unless trying to hide the truth of it!
Have fun in Antenora, Duck.
Hang on, the Empire ionizes its slaves? Pretty sure that's torture.
Slaves become onionised- in that its an onion in the mouth before the cooking.
I'm not sure we've ever had a competitive CG end with equal tiers before.
I would guess total bonds, since it would be a bit arbitrary for "9.9 vs 10.1 = win for B" but "10.1 vs 10.3 = draw"
Whoever reaches the end first or if the week peters out, whoever has the mostest.
Given how this one is going, I don't think anyone needs to worry about a tie.
What was the question? (I block the guy you are quoting.) My question, which may be the same, is will the losing side still be paid for their contributions based on their tier? I got paid to serve my country's military even when we don't win a particular battle. Seems only fair if CGs work the same way.
A friendly reminder, that it makes completely 0 sense for EMPIRE to just back off after week of warfrare - whomever famrs most of combat bonds - against a petty mafia. Nor it would make any sense for them to actually loos such a war long-term.
Therefore Mafia "winning" this week would lead to escalation of the conflict. Further and further escalation until either lyz rider is apprehended for questioning, or there is nothing left to fight for over eurybia.
question was if winner is decided by tiers or total bonds.

In previous competing CGs, the losing side has received the cash payout for whatever tier was reached.
The module reward is conditional on the Mafia winning, however, though that seems fairly likely at this stage.
That works for me! I'm fighting for the losing side, but I'd still like to get paid. The advantage of fighting for the losing side is it's easier to rank higher - if only 20 CMDRs are fighting for the Empire, it doesn't take much to be in the top 10, LOL.
It'll be hilarious for all the "defend liz" players if the escalation is Demolitions Unlimited gets flattened by an orbital strike...
"Lose" is a tricky term for these things.
The Empire's power is large, but not infinite. Obviously they could roll in millions of warships and flatten all opposition. And they could keep those ships there indefinitely to secure the area.
But while they're doing that in an independent system on the Empire's fringes, those ships aren't in Ackwada, or Beatis, or Chana, or Nahuatl where there's a risk of a Marlinist uprising on what for now remains Imperial territory ... and they aren't in Achenar or Facece or Kamadhenu or Cemiess protecting the remaining members of the Imperial family from attack ... and they aren't helping Imperial factions in HIP 27633 where at this very moment a secessionist movement from nearby HIP 30038 is attacking the system.
The Federation didn't lose Lugh because an entire superpower couldn't beat a well-supported system - it lost it because the price of winning would have been too high. Neither of the big superpowers has the military strength to do more than maintain its existing territory ... and even that is slowly slipping away.
I don't expect the Empire to accept defeat - but Patreus will have to prioritise. If a full-frontal attack doesn't work, "the same but bigger" might, but there's probably a smarter way to go about it.
