BGS = POS :(

SO in Priva Priva Empire Group is at 30 something percent and in control. Bcats and Cartu EMpire Group ( They are trying to expand into Priva) are at war and have been for days.. Bcats have dropped 2 more percent and Cartu raised. A CZ finally spawned so I went into one for the first time. After over an hour of fighting and numerous Cartu dead... nothing has changed.. and because empire controls the only station no CZ bonds >.>

I'm afraid that all you can do in CZs at the moment is to try to raise your faction's profile: you can't win as I've found to my cost. I've had this problem twice in the same system, first in early 1.4 and now in 1.5 and it's getting rather tedious.

You can get Combat Missions at any station where your faction has a presence; it's just that, currently, there are more missions trading hens' teeth. They will also let you back into the station to claim Combat Bonds, even if you've destroyed half their navy - it's the only way to make progess.

Right, but from what I understand, you can kill 4543456 ships in the CZ, but only the mission that asked you to kill 3 enemies counts toward helping your faction in the civil war.

No - all kills go towards your chosen faction's status. Combat missions add that little bit extra.

I thought one of the devs said that only missions to kill ships in the cz can help win a civil war. *shrug*

I believe he would have been specifically referring to missions. In other words, running a fruit and veg mission won't influence the factions while there's a war on. Though personally i rather like the idea of cut up oranges and bananas during a cease fire
