CMDR Enchiz prime
I went back and the CZ was till ongoing, enchiz had taken a beating from one of our spec ops FdLs so he went back to dock. We won CZ. Next battle he turned up halfway thru but didnt engage me, we won that one too.
Seems a decent chap, said he wouldnt engage as he didnt want to greif, I told him all's fair in war, so he may kick my arse again later, see what happens, got RL stuff to do now tho

Oops. Better get online. You XBoxers just need to slow them down so the rest of us can rack up more victories than they do.

@squirrelking - what's your CMDR name? I found a CMDR Squirrelking - active 60months ago. I'm CMDR Eisler in game. Feel free to send me a friend request. I'm busy Tue & Fri nights this week.

It’s a prediction of the result if nothing else happens in the 7 day period. We’re currently 3-0 up

If we lose today it’s 3-1 and it’ll go back down to just Victory.

If we win today, we win the war.

I'm Squirrelking. with the full stop, I'll add you later though.

Total victory?!?

I'm sure those massacre missions didn't hurt. If it is then well done all!

I'm about 6 or 7 High Intensity to the good. I've scared off two Cap ships and seen off War Correspondents by the boatload.

We better win today, my wrists are aching!

me and CMDR Eisler hit a couple more CZ, spec ops nearly made toast of us, those phase sequence lasers really rip into unarmoured shield tanks like mine. Had another capital ship that refused to go, last heat relay stuck at 0%, annoying.

Ive killed so many IPP Ive gone from allied (due to all the bounties I'd handed in previously I guess) to unfriendly, wylie dock has now turned red, does this mean they wont let me land there again once I've departed?

Fingers crossed for victory today, think we'll stuggle to compete against those groups/squadrons that have moved in now theyve gotten organised.

<edit> ARRRRRGH!! The absolute gits. I had just thought sod it, 1 more CZ before bed, logged back in and Ive been bumped from wylie to the Champion of Piety in the arse end of nowhere in my 10Ly max FdL, grrrrr.

My nerves are down to 3% after my first experience in High CZ with D0NK. Good fun though. I've no idea why I have PA's on my Python, nothing stays in sight long enough to hit it. MC's are very satisfying though. 🙂

OK now this is an issue, I cant land at my own sodding fleet carrier coz the IPP cops are hanging around it, nearly blasted my little hauler out of the sky as I came in to land, had to skoot over to Kuwembaa and hole up at gagnan, Slumpy's is moving to kuwembaa for now.

@D0NK have you got some notoriety from somewhere? I got chased out of Wylie Dock after my, ahem, negotiations with the IPP security.

I landed on the carrier by quickly getting as close to the pads as possible so I was between the carrier and IPP.

It may be a blessing that the Legion turned up on the Third day, it may not have given them long enough to work out how much work they need(ed) to do! Here's hoping for a +ve outcome at midday. I am at the office today, so can't log on to check.

just all the rep decreases from CZ wins I think. Station was orange, I landed, handed in my combat bonds and thats when it turned red and I got a load of NPC message from IPP security ships in the area. Went to the legal contact, no fines or bounties, so I logged out and as I said next time I logged in I was on the prison ship.
I'd probably be able to land on carrier in a well shielded ship, but my hopper Hauler isnt.

I thought I was unfriendly with IPP but I can still dock.

I didn't realise Donk was Slumpy - I wondered why I kept seeing the carrier!

sorry boys, NKL war status is back to "victory" and blue bar 2/3s full 🙁

is there a way to find out how much they won by? Are we now going to choose a day when the majority of us can get time in game, and concentrate on farming those bounties?

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks!

I have no time at all tonight, so for me it's Wednesday or Thursday. If we lose, I am going to annoy the hell out of them until they leave us alone.

Change the name of your Fleet carrier to "Bugger off and leave us alone"

Wednesday or Thursday evening for me too, preference on Wednesday as I'd rather not leave it to the last kick.

Id counter with "lull them into a false sense of security, then batter them on the last day." Its a no from me tonight aswell, weds or thurs probably about equal for chances to put time into the game.

Did someone mention another squadron/group we could ask for help?

Only briefly saw 2 pilots on PC yesterday, did xbox/ps4 see anyone? They could just be playing in solo of course.

if we lose do IPP take over tennyson?

Any other systems look good for expanding into? Coribes stations are too far out, is velniat controlled by syndicate? anywhere else catch your eye?

I haven't seen a soul on PS4. I guess this means the PS4 crew can fight unhindered.

Yes AFAIK. Don't get too disheartened, it's only one loss we are still two sets up.

Yes, ironically it would actually be the perfect scenario for IPP. We stole the station from ARP and gift it to them.

The guys who I have stalked on Inara are PC players. Doesn't mean to say you are bound to meet them, at least one is a septic.

I'd suggest trying to appeal to their better nature but, having read some of their Imperial propaganda, I expect that you'd just get all the "Bask in her glory!" bollocks and told to do one.

It's a game, this is the universe we inhabit. Remember we are the insurgents! Also bear in mind we're (D0nk and I) a couple of Delaney following pirate scumbags, better nature is a somewhat foreign concept at this stage.

I'd rather do tomorrow as it gives us breathing space if we don't swing it but can do either night. Last ditch with added scramblers on Thursday, unless they show up in hull tanks we can make life very difficult.

Not me.

That makes me at best a turncoat, at worst a traitor.

Yes but you're in good company and in any case doesn't stop you being a part of the insurgency. I like to think of you as our Kasan Moor.

Bit of advice I have been given re combat bonds; transactions are weighted more highly than absolute value, so turn in bonds frequently rather than saving them up. Apparently around a mill at a time has been found to be optimal.

Gutted I can’t help out; can’t get near the console until next week sometime.

Wait... If it's combat bonds that swing it, then there's no point in taking out the capital ships is there?

Well if it isn't necessary for winning the battle then no but otherwise light it up.

Also keep taking those massacre missions! Plenty of good materials up for grabs even at Harmless level and they all count.
