Anyone want to help flip systems to Empire?

I find it a little rich that us Feds are the "freaks" when not only do you lot still practice slavery, but actively encourage your citizens to become slaves in order to pay off debts.

I meant 'freaks' in the sexual way. And c'mon, even Star Trek TOS had slaves...green ones...with nice boobies. And your Fed captain Kirk was down to get giggity with her, so Feds have no leg to stand on when it comes to condemning slave trade.

Update on HIP 15868:
Controlling faction: down to 15%. Empire HIP 15868 Life LTD: 63%. Others at 0, 9, 10. The minor factions at 9,10 are at civil war, but they don't hold a station and are independent, so it doesn't matter.

In the next two days or so, they will hit 70%, and either nothing will happen because of the "cool down", or there will be another civil war for them to take control of the system and make it Empire. We shall see.

EDIT UPDATE 5/20: HIP 15868 Life LTD is still at 63%. Not sure why. However, they have entered BOOM state.
-From what I can tell, the impact of BOOM state is: Buy prices down 3%, Stock up 20%, some sell prices down 10%.

I'm going to keep my OP updated with systems I'm working on, and what their status is.

I wonder if the fact that HIP 15868 Life LTD entered a BOOM state caused it's influence to freeze. I expected it to go up, but it did not.

[Cmdr Nsiferum]

It was boom critical but when I was on last night there was no boom or anything. Still plugging away at it though

[Cmdr Nsiferum]

Hip life progess bar is approaching the end and at ponce port lockdown in red has popped up, not overly sure on the significance of this though

[CMDR Abil Midena]

Yeah, the BOOM is active now.

Be careful with missions involving Ponce. Don't take any that have you delivering to Official HIP 15868 League. That will work against us.

[Cmdr Nsiferum]

All good only do hip life at ponce.

[CMDR Abil Midena]

All good only do hip life at ponce.

Cool. The next system I pick will have a port closer to the star. I think even if you do missions only for HIP Life LTD at Ponce, it somehow helps the stations' faction, which is bad for us. Have you noticed it ever say that you increased Official HIP League influence after a mission for HIP Life LTD?

[CMDR Abil Midena]

Wow, just got a contract for 25 Consumer Tech to get and deliver. They will pay 360K and it will cost me 160K. I've never seen that high a profit. Boom state? Common?

Well, someone from Mobius was in 15868 around 11am EST. I think it was a Vulture? *edit...it was a Cobra there to help

[Blitzkrieg]

Sounds interesting, I may drop by there today.
