Call to Arms! - Saturday 4th November! Please join Discord!
Here is the dMw Faction page on eddb: https://eddb.io/faction/12444
As you can see we are a good 10% ahead of the nearest rival.
When this gets to about 5%, we may enter a civil war or election situation. In this scenario we can either win a station or lose what we have already, the latter would be a disaster
I may need to make make a call to arms and hope that a good group of players rejoin the game to participate in defeating Zeta Trianguli Australis Corporation and winning Hartlib Barracks for dMw. It's the same as before, election peaceful missions, war, kill the enemy (or anyone for that matter other thatn dMw NPCs).
I am on holiday until next weekend but will keep an eye on this situation and it would be good if a few of you can do the same and react accordingly.
Thanks,
Bert
I've got it installed so I can jump on as needed. I'd appreciate some input on an all rounder layout for my imperial ship if anyone has time?

Arithon is the man for buildouts. I'm sure he'll chip in. Otherwise there should be a few ideas on the frontier forums with Buildout links.
I'll get looking. I'm trying to get MrLaister (from the LAN) into it. He already plays it but isn't I'm the group yet. I'll get looking at the loadouts. Any input would help though. I'll be more useful during the election then.

Ok seriously there are powers out there actually having a go at us! 37.1 vs 31.2%
I will be travelling from tomorrow so if maybe more people can get upgraded and ready to get involved that would be appreciated.
I've been on. Handled a few missions. I don't think I was on long enough to see the impact. But did generate about 1 million in rewards. I'll take a look tomorrow.
You can also ping me any questions about loadouts*

Ha. Aye. Managed to crash land on my first planetary landing in a while. Got plenty to replace it though. I do need to source some cash for a 7A shield though. Damn they're expensive

Dead Men Walking Alliance influence in ZTA is now exactly matching the Zeta Trianguli Australis Corporation who own Hartlib Barracks. (Both 34.2%)
This means a Civil War IS the PENDING state! The pending state lasts 1 day and I am having an educated guess that the state changed in the last 24 hours! So the start of the Civil War is imminent!
So this is a call to arms for all Commanders in dMw. We need your participation in this war to take down the ZTA Corp! We will win Hartlib Barracks when we defeat the enemy, I need no remind you of the consequences for failure!
There will be warzones appearing across the system.
We will group up and fight for dMw and hand in bounties and combat bonds in Guest City or Brackett Prospect. Double influence is in effect during a Civil War so bounties do a lot of damage to the opposition influence.
Trading and peaceful delivery missions do nothing!
So get your best fighting ship and arm up!
Here we go again. Ill be on when I can.

Good that I just brought 256 tons of beverage. It is there to wait for the coming victory celebrations :boxing:
Even having played the game quite long, I always feel bit uncertain about the working of background mechanics. The civil war is pending (coming next) right now, so it is NOT on currently. When the civil war is on does it help as much to kill the opponent wanted ships (e.g. in RES) than in CZ? The problem in CZ is that if you go there alone, there is a risk you get to face many ships at once and fighting 10 to 1 you get pretty soon damage no matter what ship you have. So without friends I have stayed in RES normally. I suppose you are aware of the haz res at the last planet in the system.

Totally correct, as long as you do not kill dMw wanted ships, going to a high res and killing a load of wanted ships from any other faction and handing them into Guest City or Brackett Prospect mean a) dMw get the boost for just even handing anything in and b) the other factions get no benefit and indeed get hurt by your actions.
I personally prefer the RES as it's a lot more chilled.
Let's just hold back until the Civil War starts as we do actually want this to happen as it give us expansion opportunities.
Of course, anyone can go to a RES zone now before the war begins and accumulate badguy bounties but just don't hand them in until the civil war state begins!
Under contacts if you kill the right foes you should see bounties for Dead Men Walking Alliance rise significantly and ideally there will be no other bounties for other factions in the system. dMw get credit for any bounties earned because they are the controlling faction in ZTA.
Family might stop me getting on. Hopefully I can be on at some point over the civil war period though. I'm likely going to need some backup though. Still not used to the new ship.

Are pending states guaranteed to happen? If I make too much cargo missions and donations to dmw could it prevent civil war to happen? And if the civil war is wanted to happen maybe I should just go kill all wanted ships (other than dmw) in res sites :g:
Just to request that we do not try to increase dMw standing in ZTA until the Civil War begins, I wouldn't want to get so far ahead again we don't get to fight!
And the Civil War begins. All Commanders to your favoured ship of war [emoji1] !

For sure. We have at least 2 Corvettes and 1 Python and an Anaconda. So two groups of 3 and each wing will have regeneration beams. Probably best if you lose the Biweaves because you can't run far in a combat zone at least not far enough to regenerate.

I got bit worried is it really so that bounties for wanted ships count (because we were 15% down before). Tried to search and maybe the most realiable link is this... https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/node/362
It is nearly 2 years and quite a few patches old so don't know how much it is up to date. Anyway it says (in the small box down the page) "Civil war....only combat missions and actions count". I'm not sure does 'combat missions' count RES hunting. Anyway to be sure I have done CZ combat and completing those "Massacre for Zeta Trianguli Australis Corporation ships" at the same time. You get good money for the missions and at least they are counted. The bad thing is that how it goes at CZ site seem to be lot to luck as well. Once I had to go home after 15 kills and 400k bonds (bcause out of SCB and getting damage), but the next trip I got over 100 kills, 3.4m in bonds and heading home just that I can complete the contract to kill 100 those ZTA corps ships. So I've done two of those "Massacre X number of ZTA corp ships" (48 and 108 ships). Don't know how much those count.
Also...there are some missions which say something like "Deliver these blaah blaah to somewhere to help in the current civil war". Maybe in hte current game version it is possible to help in civil war to delivering those...not sure.

I know from testing this that you can a) take a mission to kill X ZTA Corp ships (30 100 or whatever) b) kill them in a RES zone or Combat zone c) All kills count towards teh war effort and d) All kills of ZTA Corp ships count towads the mission you took. So all good. Just don't take missions to kill FOR ZTA Corp! :D
Ok folks, we need to rethink. We lost a lot of ground yesterday on the ZTA Corp and I cannot think of reasons for this other than a) numbers participating for dMw and b) what we kill and c) more importantly what we hand in to Guest City.
Its 43% vs 26% not in our favour at this point. We need to reverse this trend!
So tonight if anyone is considering playing. a) battle int the Combat Zone not the RES zone b) do not hand in bounties for ANY other faction in Zeta as it seems some of our influence has gone the way of the lower factions because we are probably boosting them c) of course do not hand in anything for the ZTA Corp and certainly not at Hartlib Barracks!
Only hand in dMw Alliance bounties OR join dMw in the Combat Zone and hand in combat bonds at Guest City.
Thanks.
Right. I wasn't able to cash in any missions last night. The numbers didn't stack as I expected to and I was unable to complete the largest mission kill list. Hopefully there is still enough time to complete at least some of it tonight. Though since it's 24 hours, I doubt it. So all that was for nought from me.
Sent from my Swift 2 using Tapatalk
You can still hand in the bounties though can't you?
Yeah Oldie, but not if they are labelled any other faction than dMw, otherwise we boost the smaller factions at our own expense. So only combat bonds or dMw bounty collection.
Ok so we’ve been pwned. Guest City is no longer dMw. Not sure what we could have done to prevent it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't get this. No matter what how much we worked the situation just got worse. Maybe lot of random people have worked against us (for the ZTA corp).
I feel like I want to shoot someone...preferably some ZTA corp guy
I will raise a support ticket and ask what we did wrong.
Clearly either the background sim decides the ZTA Corp we’re going to go wild or another group of players decided to topple us.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It crossed my mind too that maybe there is something wrong in the simulation.
Donated maybe 2-3m to dmw. Maybe that does make something good
FYI. There is now a low CZ just next to the Guest City. Now there seem to be Corvettes on boths sidess and lot of FAS, Gunships and Dropships
I think the only thing we can do now is try to regain our footing if that's possible. Or does the faction not exist anymore?
I'm not sure if a faction can be wiped out totally. Besides we are still at 17.7% and hold Brackett Prospect planetary base. Bit surprised the Guest city changed hands during the civil war. I thought those happen at the end of a civil war. ...and so could we get it back during this same civil war?
So..... it became clearer this morning when I receive a PM:
Hello albert/DMW
although the civil war in ZTA was initiated by random players, due to the way FDev have set the game up it suits us (Winters' PowerPlay group) to have a corp in control. However, we are not aiming at exclusive domination of the galaxy, and have agreements with many PMF's that give due consideration to our defensive needs (mostly against Imperial forces from Duval, Torval, Arissa L-D, Patreus and Grom) and the PMF's ideas. If you would like to chat, you can respond here (obviously! I have joined to open communication) or invite me to your discord if that is more convenient.
I look forward to hearing from you

It's actually rather exciting to have some other group spoil our party. A bit of action.
We still have Brackett. So we should still fight to maintain our standing and hold our position. In fact one of the other NPC factions have already overtaken us. It's tough to maintain influence after losing a war. So some folks doing missions would help.
We only want the one system. But I'm not sure if that's going to be possible. It's there any way we could move to a location that's not going to be a problem? Or ally this group with theirs. I'm not going to pretend o understand the complexities, bit it would be nice to have a bit more control. It's a big galaxy after all.

K-Val and his group support Felicity Winters in Power Play. We have no group we follow therefore are no threat to Powerplay. I think we can hold our own in ZTA. It's hardly fun if everything goes to plan no?
Ha. No I'm not complaining. It's been quite fun to get back into it. I'm hoping to get back into exploration again though. Give me some chance to get my funds raised back up to finish kitting my clipper out. :)
Kill them all.

That's all fine mate. Thing to remember is it's not the in game faction that matters. It's actually having a decent group of people playing Elite. The faction are only symbolic. Also the more players we have around the more chance we have of retaking Guest city.
Folks, I hope you don't mind me answering some of your points!
@Aquilifer - no faction can be forced out of its home system, even if their influence is down at 1% permanently which would normally trigger a retreat. No, an asset cannot swap twice in the same conflict - you would have to trigger a new one, and win it.
@albert-1 at the moment we are not planning to drive your influence down, our interest is in being the control faction. This is where negotiation will come in once you have decided in detail where you really want to be. Shall we get this sorted before triggering any wars between us?
@Galatoni -1 FDev is very bad at putting PMFs in inappropriate positions, and they recently stopped accepting requests to correct their stupidity by relocating PMFs. One accommodation we have with other PMFs is where they want to expand into areas away from PowerPlay areas. We negotiate trading of systems where they put a corp in control in one place before taking over a corp in another in order to facilitate their journey away from contested areas (protects our defensive position). This of course would take a lot of time and effort from your group.
@albert-2 the evidence on 'holding your own in ZTA' may be flimsy :) as it was only a side war for us among many other wars, opposing Imperial expansion and starting a major liberation effort for peoples under an Imperial yoke in another Imperial Power - but that isn't meant to be a threat - let's set out where you want to be in detail and negotiate the mutually beneficial stuff!
@SithAfrikaan - see above, if you want to kill loads of things, the Federation could use your services extensively!
@albert-3 "It's actually having a decent group of people playing Elite" agree entirely! While Winters gets involved in the full depth of strategy the game allows, our rule =0 is 'have fun!'. If you want weird role play and *kneeling* and stuff, follow the Empire! If you like a friendly bunch of cheerful players enjoying the game to the full as an extended and varied team, that's us. Open play advocated, interact and involve to the greatest extent.
Looking forward to hearing from yous!

Welcome to the forums!
And I totally agree, it is cool to see players still taking Elite so seriously :D
I wish I had more time to take elite more seriously. Ha. That said. Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions.
It might be worth while us being involved with some of these things though. I've not done anything with power play and stuff. I generally stick to private group mode as I'm not an especially good combat pilot.
Hi Dead Men Walking Folks:
Wanted to say greetings; Honestly didnt know DMW was an active PMF. Hope things can be worked out between us going forward.

When I first rejoined the game in January (after 198x's that is) I did not expect the game to have much interest after a little shooting/trading and stuff with superior graphics. But then I saw the PP setup and thought that it would add a whole load more intrigue to the game, even if it is still just basically scan/carry/shoot stuff. And so it has proved. I only play a little time each week, but as part of a large group engaged in competition/alliance/friendly/neutral with a number of other groups it has so far been fun. Serious progress may take years, however! If you want to get involved at any level as a friendly/allied PMF, let us know!
Practice and Rebuy screens make perfect :)

Actually OB, we're at War again, but it's nearly over as the opposition NPC faction has 2.9% more influence than us. I'm out this week on holiday so haven't been able to do anything about it.
In reality, we're probably going to lose Brackett Prospect, one or 2 people alone won't bring this one back I think. We can always try and retake control later.
there wasnt many rich pickings at the nav beacon, so went to the resource area with oldie and lib, 3 mil richer
Nice one mate. If we stick around the 3% mark between us and the opposition we might end up in a tie.

It's around 4% now. Made 3 flights in combat zones for c 7.2mil total today. Hopefully it helps something. If the situation is still unsolved tomorrow, I will do more combat flights again.

Looks like we got a defensive victory. Civil war is over and no changes in station ownerships. The bad news is we are bit downwards in the system influence again (12% ingame) so have to start taking cargo missions again
Hey DMW folks. I wondered how things were going in ZTA. Still in war and are you regaining control of ZTA per the agreement with FLC?
(Remember folks to drop by the FLC / Federal United Command Discord .. just let the admins know you're a DMW member and they'll give you the [DMW] tag! :)
Hey Brantford, we're a bit low in CMDR numbers right now, our influence dropped quite a bit but still we've managed to hold onto one surface station. We're in no rush to take back control, happy to just keep plugging away with the fortification side. I'm listening on your discord each day spot any interesting goals being set.
No problem.. I've not seen ZTA being fortified this week.. so if we need to, we'll start doing that.

By the way.. if any of your members or yourself personally deliver forts to ZTA, come over to the FLC Discord and let us know so we can put it on our spreadsheets and give your faction members credit for doing so

Nice job, thanks.
We've dropped quite low - only 7.8% currently and no control of any bases. Its is boom so try to improve by cargo missions.
We were at 3% but a few missions were done to bring it up again. To be honest, with the numbers of people online I doubt we're going to see use retake a station any time soon. I wouldn't expect our faction allies to help either because we don't have the numbers right now to sustain the level of influence needed. I'm doing a few missions and power runs daily. That's about it.
Have you lost some of your DMW roster or are they just not playing due to the holidays approaching?

Just a combination of time off approaching and other games getting their attention. We have 4 or 5 more Elite focused players always on but it's the extra support that is low right now.
Attention, we are in civil war again. The opponent is ZTA united. So get your guns out of grease and join in CZ...if you have time from eating and drinking ;)
Looks like there is no christmas peace in Elite
Good work guys. I don't know who else worked in the last civil war (I was in CZ almost every evening), but we won and Brackett Prospect is ours (eddb might have bit old info). It is good that now you can transport commodities back too.
Awesome job. Sorry but I'm with family with no PC capable of participating so I assume the Winter's factions worked on this with you.
Hi folks..
Did you know you were in an election with the 2nd place faction? you're trailing by under 1%, so very winnable for you.

Yup. I noticed. You were ahead by a point the other day. Been trying to earn some of it back all evening.
The last mission I was given for gaining election influence resulted in lots of civilian deaths and a 50,000cr bounty on my head, so it better get won now... :D (Still, it was more interesting that all deliver poll data missions.)
As of this tick for BGS. DMW is leading 15.1 -13.9% .so some of that mission running helped.
Not sure what day of the election this is .. but regardless.. one side needs to win it by 5%. Folks need to do more mission running for DMW to win this.

I did about 20 missions yesterday and about half had follow-up large influence secondary parts. I should be on again this evening. We'll see how this goes, I suppose we gain little from winning by 5% but maintain our position by not losing by 5%. Strange that the base we own hasn't updated in EDDB.
Someone must have been working the other side. .as you're now trailing by 1.9% You need more missions being run or you need someo folks to drop exploration data or trade profits at the planetary base
As for EDDB.io not showing the updated base, its only as good as someone visiting the base and having an app that updates eddb's database. the station data can be older, For example.. in one system we're interested in.. the station data hasnt been hasn't been updated by anyone visiting it (or at least, no one with ED Market Connector or Ed Discovery enabled) for 111 days. it could have changed hands several times since then

Dropped about 1 million in exploration data + 2 donation missions at your planetary controlled base.

A couple of us took some time away from the fortifying and the massive expansion attempt at miroman to come over and drop exploration data and do a missions or 2. It helped - You're now leading by 3.1% as of the AM BGS tick this AM .. but you need to win by 5%.. and I believe you're in bonus day.. so you need a final push from a few players taking missions for DMW and/or dropping exp data/trade at the planetary base to win this election and secure 2nd place for you in the system

Thanks Brantford, much appreciated. A few of us will be on this evening grinding away most likely.
I'm back this way scouting to see if there are any possible undermining snipes of ZTA. Dropping some more exp data while here.
If you folks can do any fortifying of ZTA after this election is won. any help appreciated as most of us in Winters are trying to win the expansion at Miroman.

For sure, we will fortify ZTA immediately, thanks again.
Sounds good. Will park up the Beluga and head to ZTA for some missions. I'll be on Discord when playing if anyone wants to join me.
You have won the election at ZTA. :woot2::woot2: Actually.. from the news releases there.. it looks like the election was won yesterday. You're currently in 2nd place at 16.3% and in Boom State.

We're at War again, although not exactly a new thing, we are 10% vs 10% right now so if players wish to return to the game to try multiplayer missions we can also defend our place in the system.
