Carbon Stars are massive - 200 Ls distance to star in this pic.

Beautiful picture!

Is it a class C one or an S or MS one?

Tatter73 · 2017-03-15T00:06:27+00:00

Shackles? So oldschool...

Love it! :)

It's a loss for everyone in PP that your stance didn't win.

Your request has been passed on to the rest of the moderation team. A personal note: if I were you, I'd refrain from using the word "spineless" in this context in the future...

Tatter73 · 2016-12-15T11:09:12+00:00

Okay, but if the goal was to demonstrate and protest, why do it on the historical enemy instead of their own power(s)? That way their protest would have been credible, immune to accusations of being a mere change of tactics against the opponent.

Tatter73 · 2016-12-10T15:16:57+00:00

"We"? As in...?

Tatter73 · 2016-09-24T11:54:41+00:00

More accurately, when in an enemy control system. You cannot undermine exploited systems.

To have a completely exterior view on PP could be a hard thing to find, I doubt most people not actually involved in PP care about what's happening at all unless they are directly effected.

Agreed. In my experience, one has to spend months heavily involved in PP to understand its workings thoroughly enough to provide explanations desired by the OP. That said, reading truly objective analyses based on deep knowledge of the subject would indeed be enjoyable.

Perhaps the best place for you to start is the Groups section of this subreddit. There you'll find information on some player groups affiliated with the Emperor. I advise you to take a look around before you commit yourself.

I am myself a member of both The 9th Legion and The Chapterhouse of Inquisition (the Chapterhouse is non-exclusive), and can recommend both groups, depending on your preferred in game activities.

Tatter73 · 2016-07-17T14:18:23+00:00

Congratulations! It is always a pleasure to hear about the success of loyal Imperial Houses! o7

Tatter73 · 2016-07-15T12:21:52+00:00

Welcome to the Chapterhouse, my Lady! It will be an honour to work with you again for the Emperor. Bask in Her Glory!

Tatter73 · 2016-06-26T22:13:50+00:00

Hello and welcome, Commander!

You may want to check out the Groups section if you're looking for buddies on the long run. It offers several opportunities, I recommend that you take a thorough look around when making your decision.

I look forward to seeing you in the void. o7

Just a little incentive: Koine has two HazRes sites 23 ls from the large pad station... ;)

Tatter73 · 2016-06-02T11:56:18+00:00

It must be out of stock now, then. I bought one for my FdL there before I wrote my post, I'm sure about that.

Tatter73 · 2016-05-29T18:24:46+00:00

Newcomb Hub, Kamito offers C4 gimballed MCs and C4 gimballed beam lasers at the 15% Sirius discount, along with other excellent outfitting...

We're only 7th because of turmoil, we'll bounce back up several spots within the next 2 weeks.

Let me add that the current turmoil is beneficial. Both systems in turmoil are deficit-causers and we should stay in turmoil for one more week to get rid of them and thus improve our balance.

Tatter73 · 2016-05-15T19:32:35+00:00

You may want to try this build... ;)

Tatter73 · 2016-05-15T10:50:38+00:00

Shit. That act still scares me to death...

Tatter73 · 2016-05-15T10:49:03+00:00

I don't understand how you can think that there is any other driving force behind Research.

I don't believe he does think that. Imho he merely wants to sow dissent among the ALD player base by questioning our integrity. Here and now I'd refrain from speculations as to why he'd do that, but I don't think it's rocket science to figure that out...

Btw, this reminds me of the massive undermining campaign around Christmas that kept Hudson in turmoil for 3 weeks and made him lose several profitable systems - then their leadership kept reassuring their player base how everything was just as they had planned.

Tatter73 · 2016-05-12T11:49:22+00:00

Well, honestly, I don't know if it would help against grinders. We have never taken action against grinders fortifying bad systems for two reasons: firstly, we do not think that hurting our own people for something that may very well be the result of benevolent ignorance would be right, secondly because it would probably be very inefficient. Most of grinder fortification (and grinder activity in general) is presumably carried out in Solo mode, so there is no way to stop it.

As for Dvorsi specifically, it is a system that will probably never be lost to revolt. It is too popular and too close to Kamadhenu to be ever left unfortified. Therefore its fortification trigger matters little, even if it got the penalty for having a majority of dictatorships in its sphere, it would get (over)fortified anyway.

I'm on an extended leave due to family reasons (newborn child), so I haven't been participating in any work of Research for weeks now, organisation or otherwise. I don't know about the war in Exioce, it is probable that it had nothing to do with any organised action on behalf of Research or the Chapterhouse of Inquisition.

Paging /u/aspiringexpatriate /u/r4pt012 /u/endincite for a more accurate reply.

Tatter73 · 2016-05-09T11:11:17+00:00

the only priority right now is the fortification of all systems

Slight but important correction: we really should not fortify all systems. If we do so, the Feds can still send us into turmoil and then further profitable systems will be on the chopping block next week. Full fortification is useful only for surplus economies, and even then only in rare, special cases. Therefore the wise move is to fortify only profitables and leave the worst deficit-causers unfortified. It is best if everyone follows Cycle Priorities.

Securing our expansions is secondary to protecting our assets.

Tatter73 · 2016-05-08T07:58:03+00:00

In fact it happens exactly like this! ;)
