Hi all,
Powerplay has now launched, below are our goals for both powerplay and AI
Powerplay Goals
Pledge to Denton Patreus – Apologies to those who would like different weapons/bonuses but Patreus fits our lore better and is a good fit with regards position.
Control Wangal – Carry supplies from HQ back to Wangal, my understanding is we only need to fortify to 100%. Once the threshold has been passed any tokens are essentially wasted as the system only needs 100% to be fortified for our side of the effect to take place regardless of the % of undermining. The only way you can lose a system is to have a negative CC which will then turn systems to turmoil to get you back under budget. A system fortified to 100% is a safe system.
* This is our Primary Powerplay Task
AI Specific Goals
Wangal/Shongastyak – Continue to grow and expand WEP. We are still looking to trigger expansions wherever possible and improve influence in systems they expand to regardless if they expand into one of our other systems.
Guan Yun – Grow Influence of Guan Yun Corporation to 70% and maintain lead.
HIP 18187 – Grow Influence of Blue Legal Partners to 70% and maintain lead.
Andr – Grow Influence of Andr Crimson Travel Exchange to 70% and maintain lead.
HIP 20199 – Increase influence of Silver Fortune Solutions and take control of the system.
*This is our Primary AI goal
HIP 17298 – Increase influence of HIP 17298 Network and take control of the system.
HIP 18828 – Increase influence of HIP 18828 Corp. and take control of the system.

Totally respect the choices AI leadership have taken, but I’m sorry to say I’m not happy to align with Patraeus, I don’t like what he stands for or his previous behaviour. Having said that I have had a great time with you guys and its been fun turning one little corner of the galaxy into Imperial heaven.
I’m currently about 620ly from Sol earning my explorer wings so I guess you guys wouldn’t have missed me anyway :D, good luck for the future and long live the Empire.

OK – Download complete. I wasn’t expecting PP to go GA over the weekend, so, I’m still up in Lave sector collecting some Lavian Brandy for the new CEO (and the old one) , alongside some recon tasks.
Will get down to Patreus’ Palace tonight, get a Courier, have a spin, then should be fully operational for AI tomorrow night…
Oi! That's Baron von Schnellenstein to you, mate. No, it doesn't matter that I'm an Imperial Prince!

With the pleasures of work getting in the way of game time. How is our prep now on tuesday? Monday night AUEST we were in front by a decent amount
Wong Guin will already flip and I guess we will have to prepare to fortify both that system and Wangal next week.
The small sorties we have done in federation space have been fun. In saying that we will need to design wings for specialist tactics, ie hit and run as well blockade and even homeland security.
I foresee extra work for AI hiarchy in the coming days

It is imperative that Wangal stays high in the top 10 and white not red so that it completes at the end of the cycle and moves into expansion.
Systems in the top 10 listed in red we do not have the CC to move onto the next stage so all the work put into those systems will be lost at the end of the cycle so for now we have no other goal or we will be in the same place we are now next week except we will also probably have to fend off another power at the same time.
For the next 3 weeks (remember powerplay is a long process) Wangal will be our only major goal.
If other useful targets appear in between now and us having Wangal safely fortified we will let you know the same as we have with Wong Guin

@hazara: here’s some offensive goals for you. The highly strung and uber-politically-correct should STOP READING NOW!They are extremely offensive and meant in jest…
Offensive goal 1: Fart whilst exiting a populated lift, as the doors close, turn around and say, “It was me!” – a la Jim Carrey in Liar Liar
Offensive goal 2: Whilst riding public transport, do a “pressed ham” as said transport alights at next station
Offensive goal 3: [Disclaimer, this next is likely to result in divorce and/or grave physical harm to your person – you were warned!] Whilst waking up on a Saturday morning, give your partner, the “Dutch Oven”
Oi! That's Baron von Schnellenstein to you, mate. No, it doesn't matter that I'm an Imperial Prince!

Which one gives you the most CC?

Friday will be interesting. I’ll have cash ready to contribute if we need to push Wangal.

Pressed ham in public transport. That provides the best per capita offense to effort ratio of the lot.
I’d also like to put forward biting off your own toenails in starbucks as a potential winner 🙂

HIP 20199 – Increase influence of Silver Fortune Solutions and take control of the system.
Purchase Palladium from Elson Terminal to HIP 19758 Melotte Terminal ~ 1000 a ton
Purchase Auto Fabricators from Melotte Terminal to Blido Piru Kanai Enterprise ~900 a ton
Purchase Mineral Extractors from Blido Piru Kanai Enterprise to HIP 20199 Elson Terminal~300 a ton
Average ~700 a Ton

Summary of thought raised on TS tonight.
Once we have obtained control of HIP 20199 by the purchase of Silver Fortune Solutions, we could see if we could talk Frontier into giving us a Community Goal to complete the Terrifiorming of HIP 20199-2
This will give us a new Garden world.
During its establishment we drop hints of a connection to Onionhead.
From here we seek to take over Blue Legal Exchange in Ilyaqa and add their legal expertise to Blue Legal Partners in HIP 18178
The Mafia of HIP 20199 will obtain us seedlings of Kappa Fornacis Onionhead, and both Blue Lawyers will demonstrate that it is sufficiently different to be legally a different crop to avoid any owner ship /corporate theft claims from the Farmers Union of Kappa Fornacis and we seek a Community Goal to Establish great Latifudia (the Estates of the Angeli Imperial Pilots) on HIP 20199-2 to grow our own version of Onionhead.

Just found this and it’s ironic because I’ve already been getting power points in Guin.
Either way, I found some videos explaining how a lot of this works since it’s so damn confusing
Here is part 1, the other parts are linked towards the end of the video

Um. It seems the power play tick over just happened now. And it all seems a bit odd. Only two systems in the expansion screen Vaka and Dongzi. The Prep screen in currently empty.
Omnes Virgo triumphat imperator!
-
11/06/2015 at 8:48 PM #2855
Prep screen shows us currently at 8.
WTF happened overnight? We were 500 from 1st and > 1000 ahead of third – how did we not get to expansion???
Oi! That's Baron von Schnellenstein to you, mate. No, it doesn't matter that I'm an Imperial Prince!
-
12/06/2015 at 2:25 AM #2858
It is done. Wangal has been prepared and is now in the expansion zone. Time for everyone to get there guns out and start blasting away.
@Furstaide will be christening his new ship there I am sure, (that has also been dubbed ‘The Titanic’ by our dear leader.Omnes Virgo triumphat imperator!
-
12/06/2015 at 6:34 AM #2862
So did we make it or no?
-
12/06/2015 at 7:35 AM #2863
Yes, Frontier seems to have corrected the error that caused Wangal to not have made it onto the expansion list. I unfortunately bought a bunch of markers for preparation before I went to bed last night, and now have a cargo hold full of them. I’m not sure where to deposit them now. If someone in the leadership could please divulge any preparation plans for this week, it would be much appreciated. I’d rather not waste them, but I’m not to keen on sitting around in Eotienses for no reason either haha.

Take them to Kafigelabon, Lopemba, or Apalok, whichever one is closest to us. Since I can’t get in game today, can you let me know which is closest to us? We will focus on that one and let the others know so they can work on the other 2.
We are working with other Patreus supporters on this. We will be preparing
Kafigelabon (currently 5th), Lopemba (currently not top 10), and Apalok (currently 7th), Smei Tsu (currently 4th, is being done by a group, no need to help here)
Remember our main focus is securing Wangal still, but any other work for Patreus must be done expanding those systems. Fortification is important. DO NOT GO PAST 100 since it is a waste of time.
-
12/06/2015 at 9:38 AM #2865
Sounds great! Thank you for the response. Apalok appears to be the closest.
-
12/06/2015 at 9:53 AM #2867
Apalok it is!
-
-
12/06/2015 at 11:54 AM #2870
I will be trading tonight for a while (10 round trips) then will burn at least 5 mil on Apalok that should get us around 1,250 points if the quota refreshing cost is still 100k credits.
-
12/06/2015 at 11:59 AM #2871
The quota will depend on your rank. And how much to refresh also. But what you pay per credit is the same though.

So does that mean?
Rank 1
– Quota = 10 Marks
-Refresh Quota = 100k credits
Rank 4
– Quota = 25 marks
– Refresh Quota = 250k credit?

Yep. That’s how I understand how it should work from what I have heard from others.

12/06/2015 at 4:30 PM #2882
Apalok seems extremely out of the way we were discussing it on TS
-
12/06/2015 at 4:39 PM #2883
Yes. I’ve been listening.
Bang seems to be a better option. It focus is still Wangal.
But if you have markers drop them there. We are the only group working on it.

We seem to be about to lose HIP 18187, i have placed a bug report in the system.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=156016
Influence dropped overnight to 1% from being leaders around 45%. I struggle to believe this is genuine seeing as it only had 37 visitors in 24hrs and there was no way to trade another faction.
a loss of 44% in one day to missions alone in only 37 visits is a bit far fetched so will see what the bug response is.
-
12/06/2015 at 11:55 PM #2894
FD had to role back some influence changes caused by a bug.
It seems to have unforseen consequences for HIP 18187. Probably because the station changed hands between the roleback and the bug.
No doubt it’ll get fixed.
There is no war or election yet so we won’t lose it soon.

I will be dropping off 60 marks at Bang later today, but in the mean time I did find this

Post updated with AI specific info.
Interesting to note that Guan Yun Corp also expanded, sadly into Shongastyak so that’s not another system we can work.
