@squirrelking - I pointed out the LCE vs IPP tussle on page 66 😉

Free MemberI’ve just noticed there’s also a war between IPP and LCE in Kuwembaa. Is that anything we can use to our advantage? i.e. divide and conquer, so we force the Imperial Enforcement Division to fight on two fronts (if we get re-inforcements to bolster us, that is).

I just don't know enough about the BGS mechanics to see how it's useful to us.
@D0NK - doesn't look like there's a "target PP" option but here's a targeting key binding guide from D2EA, some of the options might be useful in wings;
Ah, I was unable to find out much about the other carrier owners but that's good news if so. I will try and get hold of them. This could be crucial.
I got in touch with unsalted_vista, he's agreed to be online tomorrow night for a big push to win the day. Hopefully he'll bring his mates. I'm going to friend him in game see if that puts us in the same instance.
I can't find Vode An as a squadron on Inara but Aunt Zemina's party van is owned by altus_33 who also is not present on Inara but I messaged him on PSN.
I'm telling everyone to turn up tomorrow night. That ok with you all?
That sounds great, I'll ship out to Ashby City tonight or tomorrow morning in the AspX so I can pick up my Cytoscramblers and fit them for tomorrow night. I'll be on after dinner time as mini squirrel has a zoom class and last time I was in a CZ it got a bit laggy.
Sneckers won't know what hit them.
(unless they are reading this which is entirely likely)
@son-of-mike LMAO, observant as always.
o7 Cmdrs! Managed to get on for an afternoon and won a massacre mission by winning a couple of Hi intensity CZs. Not much I know but at least I’ve contributed now.
I wonder if it may be an idea to take discussions of war tactics to a private space. This thread now comes up on google results if you google ‘Akuntsu’ ‘war’ and ‘elite dangerous’. Plus I’ve got som tactical ideas that I’d like to share but they won’t work if the empires henchmen get wind. As such, I’ve created the ‘STW Galaxy’ discord server for NKP war room type discussions. I’ve sent PM invites to the usual suspects on this thread; PM me if I’ve missed you out and I’ll reply with an invite.
Can you invite me to the discord server? I cannot PM you apparently clicking on your name goes to someone else's profile.

Proper lolz. Great, we'll be on GCHQ's radar now 🙂
Thanks for setting up a Discord for us D0NK, that'll be my first foray into that tool.

Errrr, Oi! 😂😂😂
Single Track Galaxy Squadron now listed on Inara. Join up folks!
I can't see how to...
At last, new story content! Terrorist attacks, stations burning. Rescue missions into burning stations. News of a two year multi arc storyline plan. It’s all good.
If inclined to attend the Imperial BBQ as a rescuer please remember to take passenger cabins and a shit load of heatsinks!
DAMHIKT.
I might pop over later in my bus if it's still going on. Makes a change from CZs.

Is there a viable option to turn up with a cargo hold full of hydrogen fuel and fire them into the mailslot?
Not that I'm bitter about the imperial effort in the war.......
How have i not seen this thread. I've been playing this since it came back out on xbox. I've been to beagle point with DW2!!!
Haha, join in then, more numbers are better as it means more chance of us creating a faction (if we go that way).
Can you sell your rescued casualties as slaves on the black market? Asking for a friend.
Welcome to the thread, it's never too late. I only started playing this year, so after the community stuff stopped to a great extent. DW2 looked to be a great event. Have you made it back? How long was the trip?

Approved; welcome to the Squadron, o7
E:D just dropped on Humble Bundle.
https://www.humblebundle.com/games/super-simulation
Seven quid and nets you a bunch of other games. It's £20 on its own on Steam.
So the newly formed and increasingly organised Singletrack Galaxy Squadron is kicking arse under the capable direction of ‘Ever Victorious and Iron Willed’ Cmdr @Matt_bl. We’ve managed to show a much larger Imperial player supported faction in our chosen small corner of the Galaxy the door, by kicking them out of their spaceport and taking over control of the star system. Then, despite them coming back at us strongly, we’ve so far been able to resist, then fortify our position, and have strategic tactics to achieve our objectives of increasing our security further. Longer term, we are thinking of starting up an actual player owned faction to make our mark permanently on the Galaxy of E:D. That’s going to be a big undertaking though. All of our squadron comms are now happening on our Discord server, hence why this thread may seem a little quieter. Shout up for an invite link.
This game is possibly the most entertaining and immersive I’ve ever played. Incredible.
Join us.
We have spreadsheets.
Also CMDR molgrips of STW has taken up a position as ambassador to Federal Liberal Command, the player group supporting Felicia Winters who is fighting for social democracy against the Empire. A concerted effort by FLC to thwart an Empire faction led by Aisling Duval has consumed much of Duval's time this week possibly allowing STW to increase influence in the system in which they are working. And because the STW backed faction is Federation aligned and its control over the system is detrimental to the Empire's interests, the two aims are mutually beneficial.
I agree with Matt - this game is bonkers, I've never come across anything like it.
CMDR Perchy just likes to zoom about and shoot lasers at stuff.
Pew pew.... Pew pew.... and, indeed, pew.
Latest teaser trailer for space legs has dropped and it looks INCREDIBLE 😁
Suddenly really excited about this; the level of immersion is going to be immense.
I hope the public areas and hangouts are generated to match the stations. Like a dingy bar for the industrial or agricultural stations, and gleaming steel and glass for the high tech ones.
<insert Mos Eisley quote here>
Agreed; plenty of scope for properly atmospheric settings 😎
Plus I really think it's going to completely change the atmosphere.
I hope there's food and drink, like in GTA. Where that game excels is putting stuff in just for the hell of it, because it's cool.
For anyone who never upgraded to Horizons, it's free from the 27th. If you were thinking about buying you could be a proper cheapskate and probably get the game for a fiver in your platform sale of choice!
like in GTA
Oh jesus no. There's immersion and then there's just annoying. I seriously hope you don't have to run all over the bloody place like in Destiny either, I'm happy sitting in my ship doing it over video.

You don't have to sit on your sofa watching TV, have around of golf, or go to a strip club. But you can. This is the genius part.

Will look at discord - I'm not big on talking.
I’m not big on talking.
As long as you're big on shootin'
We're currently in the middle of a war against a vastly superior force.
Welcome Commander!
You don't have to chat, we just waffle on discord cos we're like that. But if you want to join in either Megalomaniac Matt's quest for local dominance, or fighting the Imperials and upholding social democratic values across the galaxy in Powerplay (or both!) then discord can be useful read-only.
You don't need to use voice chat to co-operate in shooting or anything else, I frequently don't use it because it's a bit anti-social for the rest of the family.
Percy - I'm harmless, it's the last elite for me to get.
Even Harmless people can fight. We'll soon have your combat rank up to Mostly Harmless, same as the rest of us.
Just head over to Akuntsu and bring yer shootin' irons.
I have a huge hardpoint ready for action!
Oooh matron !
Anaconda, python & vulture at Wylie's Dock.
We running missions for the new labour lads?
We are the New labour lads.
we're currently at war with the Evil Empire Squad.
There are combat zones all over the systems, two of the Fleet Carriers ( Slumpys adn Bienvenidos ) are ours, one ( Widows Mite)is a guy from another friendly faction who's helping us out two more ( Aunt Zemina and lukes Father )are kinda accidental allies. All the rest are baddies.
You can run missions, fight in combat zones, whatever.
The Discord is where it's at for direction though.
I'm going out for a play, not used to combat so this could be fun.
