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.
Cheers, Bert

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.

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.
