Progress Report 16-Jan-3001

Seems the influence system is partially fixed or at least they are pushing updates manually. We got an update and the current poll numbers for the population in Enki are:

  • Enki Corporation: 38.6% influence and trending DOWN
  • Alliance Protectorate: 40.6% influence and trending UP

You can check the exact numbers (without rounding) at the system map in-game. That's pretty good news and solid progress, warmongers of the Enki Corporation are ready to declare us civil war (which is critical), but the people is with us. Unfortunatelly the internal conflict inside Enki Corp has diminished and high ranks are cleaning up the mess, so civil unrest is diminishing. In order to increase pressure we are issuing the following orders:

  1. Priority still are AP missions in Ponce de Leon.
  2. Second priority is supplying weapons and armour to our people at Bass Port, demand for the military materials must be low!
  3. We are issuing a temporal blockade of ANY trading with the Enki Corporation. This means we won't even be importing anything in there, let them starve and rot!

Clarification about docking/undocking in hostile stations, there is some confusion over this because a couple person asked me already:

  • Is normal patrolling ships shoot you, but they cannot shoot you once you are inside the station.
  • The station SHOULDN'T shoot under any circumstance! If the station shoots you and you are nearby you will get fried very fast.

There is currently a bug that if you do not have the WANTED status active, and you get scanned upon entering or exiting the station, the station will shoot you. So is better to go with the wanted status and not risk being scanned (specially after undocking, or you will have to pay the bounty or lose the ship). Expect to be fired by the patrolling ships, is completely normal. Full pips to engine and 2 to shield will usually do it.
