i'm a little concerned that the only place i can dock and store my ships is owned by the same guys i'm killing.

Planning to either let the Exchange or the Democrats take over the system after a successful cultivation of a civil war. Currently, we're trying to strengthen the other minor factions' influence so they can overthrow the anarchy system (and the Blue Brotherhood faction), turning it into a valuable Fed-aligned RES & mining system.

My time isn't fully dedicated to it though; I just tend to do their missions when I pass by, at least after doing a few CZ skirmishes on nearby systems. So more people who happen to be nearby might want to run in a mission or two for both parties if you feel like it wouldn't hurt your spare time, which would be greatly appreciated. :)

The faction that wins the civil war, takes control of the station. In this case it will be either the Exchange or the Democrats, which are Federation based. So killing Blue Bros is a good thing.

Excellent summary on how to initiate a system flip. Good info. Now I need to sell my metals at the far out station until it flips. Check this out!

I stopped system flipping a while back because other system 'states' kept interfering with the civil war starting. Basically, if there is another 'state' then the civil war will not start, even if your faction goes above the 70% mark.

I bring this up in case it happens to you guys. Don't give up. When 1.4 drops, civil wars will no longer have to wait for other 'states' to end plus cooldown. They will happen the first time the update sees your faction go over 70%.

From the 7/23 Dev Update: "For the CQC update we're looking at making a few changes to the background simulation. One commonly raised issue is that minor factions don't always enter conflict states such as war, civil war and elections. This occurs when the other minor faction is in a state that cannot be overridden, so we are changing the rule so that conflict states can immediately override other states so that conflicts can be entered and completed. We'll also reduce the recovery periods so states can repeat more quickly. Expansion in particular will receive a substantial reduction in the recovery period."

Just a quick update on this systems progress. The controlling pirate anarchy faction is now down to only 14% control with the two federation factions at 41% and 28%, and they're beginning to request a lot of weapons and war type smuggling. I believe lockdown is next, then shortly after unrest and civial war should break out. Keep up the good work! Lets have this gold mine flipping in the next few days :)

Just a few notes. I spent an hour yesterday killing everything in a RES. Nothing above a DBX and Master. (Up 2% towards Dangerous ranking) Went to the Hi RES and in an hour had 3-4 Pythons Master-Deadly, 2-3 Clippers a lot of vultures and cobras medium-high ranking. Up 4%.

So HiRES is working as it should be IMHO

I shall join as soon as I can, but at the moment I am reaping the benefits of the recent CG in Apalar working my way towards a Anaconda which is around another 40 round trips away from being obtainable, but then I need to ensure I can get the credits to cover the cost of insurance and slowly outfit it for battle.

hmm, you did better than i did in that case. i spent a couple of hours there in both the RES and HIRES and never saw anything larger than a DBS even after several quits/restarts. just unlucky i guess.

I had a couple of pythons deadly and a clipper an hour ago. Going in again now. I am hostile to the KOOI Gateway since last night. Hope they will not start shooting at me...
