Exioce what next?

[Walter]

HI Walter,
yes, the figures are useless and not it's not really about convincing FD, but rather understand how the stuff works. I believe that QA-Kae did misread my post but if he didn't it's fine with me too. All I want is to have some kind of clue of what and how the rules are.

Walt's constantly updating but it's probably going to be the most comprehensive as there are so many contributors. I'm working on a slightly different approach to the same thing, but I've had a sudden influx of new projects that have to take priority, so it's slow progress.

Took snapshots of the Exioce & Azrael minor factor influence values at 0130 GMT today, will post them later. We're up to 20.5% in Exioce but down to 69.3% in Azrael. The ExDems are down to 53% but our nearest rival in Azrael (BRIB Gold Limited) is now at 13.2% - they"re at War with Azrael Patron's Principle.

FD Are piss poor at revisiting existing Bug Reports. Someone with the facts needs to make a new bug report with the details and get their attention. Once that is done, open a ticket about it and hit @Frontier_Help on Twitter to get their attention.

We should have won the war and gotten those planetary stations.

I am not entirely sure winning a war means we would get those stations! If it was a civil war maybe so.

More head scratches, so continuing on with my BGS testing.

As promised.

It looks like the ExDems are in a civil war with our old foe - Crimsom Electronics. Let's see if any bases change hands once that conflict ends.

No, we need the answer before that happens so we can plan.

All right then, I'll leave the dev contacts to you guys. Will open a channel to the Dukes/Mercs of Mikunn and see if I can get some answers from there.

Then he should be more careful in his reading. Frankly I have absolutely zero motivation to play this game any more. After putting in 20-30 hours (almost the length of a full price single player game) of time and effort, for it to not have the expected result was bad enough, but for it then to be so casually dismissed by their support staff... I'm done for now.

For what's it worth, with all the player minor factions introduced with the latest - I'm confident that the BGS issues will be looked into. It can get really bad and our case is one of the lesser ones

[QUOTE=orfeboy;3486930]We won our sytsem through 4 and a half months of daily slog pushing a broken background sim. That slog finally ended when FD stepped in and orchastrated a war that took place in this game involving over 10,000 players. We fought 3:1 for a whole week. Some of our players had to stay up 24 hours playing to achieve that. We won our system.

If you think other players should have to do the same thing then I am game if you are?[/QUOTE]


People also seem to be upset that their favorite systems are suddenly controlled by a player faction - I'm glad the Order is on the outskirts. I'll be writing the Dukes tomorrow about something I stumbled upon on the FD boards. Apparently, the winning conditions for a War is higher than that of a Civil war. You can "win" but the margin won't be enough to flip a base. The condition is called a stalemate.

Don't lose hope guys, it's not over yet.
