That said, you should always do what ever you like, just please don't undermine more than 100% each system, that will be pointless for ALD, read the reddit ALD subReddit, /r/EliteLavigny, please do not undermine neutral or friendly powers, and always try to work undermining in wings, each ship killed by the wing will return 30 merits for each member of the wing, that means 120 merits in a full wing of 4 players

Oh yes, I am fully aware of how the mechanic works

My usual partner has been in ED since day 1 beta and I just started to actively play in early December 2015 and I had to explain it to him lol
I am a "do it now" so its not a rush at the end of the cycle kind of person, while my friend is a "do it later" kind of person. So I hit my undermine system the same day the new cycle starts, then add to it as the week progresses. He, on the other hand, does the rush routine at the 11th hour lol
The interdictions are frustrating for me as sometimes I have the the whole blue bare filled and the transports still wins and sometimes the red bar is almost full and I win, so the whole mini-game is about as predictable as the missions and everything else in the game. 100% random

I have a million beefs about the game but still log in and play for hours on end. My average pay session is 12 to 15 hours a day
