Epic History of AEDC

AEDC is a political organization that began its formation at 3300 and was fully formed by the year 3301. With the goal of supporting Alliance of Independent Systems through series of diplomatic initiatives AEDC started operations around systems of 78 Ursae Majoris, Tiethay, Enki and others. Facing dire obstacles along the road AEDC quickly expanded with the help of numerous Alliance sympathizers. In the spirit of the Alliance tradition for cooperation AEDC developed successful partnership not only with independent pilots but with many influential organizations and individuals as well. Among most noteworthy sponsors of AEDC are notorious business magnate Victoria Wolf, Commodore Helena Stone of the Alliance Navy and famous diplomat with aristocratic heritage Hubertus von Weissenborn.

The Dumbbell project is an initiative started within the Alliance Elite Diplomatic Corps during April 3301, after the Alliance of Independent Systems announced their colonization program. The initial scope of our project is to provide good colonization targets within the Dumbbell Sector and to build on existing lore.

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:

Priority still are AP missions in Ponce de Leon.
Second priority is supplying weapons and armour to our people at Bass Port, demand for the military materials must be low!
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.
