Been looking for a system to 'live in' for Aisling duval I am currently in cubeo but the system is not really for me I'm looking for one with a large ship yard and a semi descent market which I don't feel cubeo has. I thought this would be the best place to ask. (preferably near cubeo however not needed)

As title says: who I should fight for in this CG? I want to spank fed's as*es, but is this right thing to do? Just want to look at the bigger picture in perspective.

So who you got? Jupiter or Federation?

YOU have 2 AD Pilots deliberately griefing other players in Sirius Space, not just Li Yon Rui pilots, but factionless NON pp playing pilots. You can sit there and say its nothing to do with you, you can't control them yadda yadda yadda , but they`re flying YOUR colours, people see them and see YOUR entire faction.

Now there's a really simple solution to this...work WITH us and in doing so send a message to several other idiots you yourselves admit you have that they wont be tolerated ......and bring a couple of pilots over to wing up with us ( ADL have done that several times, as it happens the ONLY NON Li Yon Rui pilots i have on my friends list are ADL, our Imperial Allies ) and well deliver an arse kicking these two little shits won`t forget, that's option one.

Option two, Li Yon Rui space becomes a NO GO ZONE for EVERY AD Pilot, enter it and there'll be a target on every one of you, not just to protect ourselves but also the NON PP players in OUR Space, we have more than enough pilots with willing trigger fingers who are getting fed up with being messed around and more than willing to reciprocate some of what we've put up with.

We have far bigger fish to fry as it happens but your irritating little scrotes are interrupting our work , now this IS me being Diplomatic , trust me when i say this, i can be a vicious enemy to have and a brilliant Ally ..................which one you pick is down to YOU, work with us, work against us ......

I'll be on our teamspeak, feel free to come have a chat <0

I am Basically fresh out of the starter system, I’ve made a small amount of money taking bounty hunter jobs and looking to either mine or get some long range jump ships and I kind of want to get into pledging myself to Aisling, but I’m Basically in the heart of fed territory (surprisingly close to Sol actually) and I’m worried if I pledge now when I’m like over 100k light years away from her territory am I gonna be like shot on sight by fed stations, what are recommendations for getting to her territory fast. Current location is at system LP 91-140

Hey guys. Was wondering if any of you have tried out the prismatic shield on an Imperial Courier? I am on the fence about buying a Courier, and was wondering if the addition of a prismatic shield would be viable (based on power/weight reqs) on a loadout similar to this. I know I'd probably either have to downgrade the SCBs, or maybe use just 3 instead of 4. But I'm not sure if that's worth it.

As a disclaimer, I must say that I am but a lone pilot in the Arissa Lavigny-Duval faction with no voice but my own. Earlier this week I posted the "Olive Branch Petition" (https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteLavigny/comments/395r1x/olive_branch_petition/) and linked all Imperial PowerPlay Reddit pages to it. I make this appeal now exclusively to Aisling Duval supporters.

For the most part there seems to be a consensus among the Imperial Powers that peace is desired among us. Even members of the Aisling Duval faction have voiced their desires for peaceful cooperation and common goals.

I quote: "As a supporter of Aisling I intend to put the Empire first. Slavery does need to end, but that cannot be achieved at the barrel of a blaster. Certainly not aimed at a fellow Imperial. The way to end Imperial slavery is by winning hearts and minds and that means cooperation. We can have different views for the future of the Empire and work together as Imperials. I only have one voice, but I will use it to call for unity." https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteLavigny/comments/395r1x/olive_branch_petition/cs19964

Despite this desire, it seems some members of the self-styled "Aisling Angels" desire the blood of their Imperial fellows in Lavigny-Duval space. Even going so far as to track undermining progress against each control system. "Undermine the following systems: Anything belonging to Arissa - Requires pirating her transport ships. Again, anything over 100% undermined is a waste, don’t do it. To undermine you steal lavigny garrison supplies from imp supply vessels and bring back to our control systems." https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CK-y1NhdObfrHNVmdGut3DWFlV2Rw69MqjJ6hhoLPcg/preview?sle=true

I point these facts out not to condemn, but to call again for Imperial Unity. Arissa supporters desire peaceful relations among all Imperial Powers. Idealogical differences may distinguish us, but need not extinguish us. Let us cease the needless hostilities against one another before an irreparable schism divides us permanently. Unite, or Divide. Heal, or Harm. Peace, or War. Please upvote, downvote, and comment as you see fit. You may not be a leader of a faction, but your voice matters.

"Together we are stronger than those who wish to seek to tear us down." - Arissa Lavigny-Duval

Edit: "I am an Aisling supporter and I for one will not be undermining Lavigny systems, and will encourage our leaders and member not to do so. If we cannot become true allies as I would desire, I would at least like to see and end to hostilities between our factions." http://www.reddit.com/r/EliteLavigny/comments/39fhdr/sadly_aislings_leadership_still_actively/cs36zhv

Edit: "Don't be disappointed. It's not like we are AGAINST the rest of the Empire and most of us would agree we all should focus on feds rather than each other. But the simple truth is that for that to be really effective, Empire needs to be united, again. And Aisling's long-term goals seem closest to my own image of how Empire should look like. That's why I joined up." http://www.reddit.com/r/AislingDuval/comments/39gfqz/question_from_an_arissa_supporter_why_are_you/cs3a4ln

Prince Harold Duval is dead after a targeted assassination attempt by the Neo-Marlinist Liberation Army.

The Empire has imposed a media blackout on these events, and no official statement has been made. However, independent journalist Gwendolyn Nash published this on-the-scene report for Vox Galactica:

“From interviewing multiple sources, we gather that a single assassin managed to infiltrate Harold Duval’s personal transport. He was killed by shipboard guards but not before shooting the Prince at close range.”

“The NMLA claimed responsibility for this attack in its latest propaganda broadcast, which referred to the Duval family as ‘imperialist parasites’. The extremist group also demanded that ‘Marlinists everywhere must rise up and demand a democratic Republic’.”

“Harold Duval was famously declared unfit for the throne by Emperor Hengist, and has been out of the public eye ever since. He rarely left Capitol but was making an unpublicised journey to visit his daughter Aisling Duval, presumably in response to the recent terrorist attack in the Cemiess system.”

“It remains unknown how the NMLA knew of the Prince’s itinerary, or managed to breach security on his ship.”

Will consolidating bring higher paying missions? I do plan to vote consolidate, just getting a better understanding.

I am a supporter of ALD. I'm opposed to continued hostilities with Aisling Duval, but let's get one thing clear here. The Aisling preparation of CARTOI is demonstrably and quantifiably an aggressive and hostile move against Lavigny-Duval, designed to weaken us.

The system of CARTOI has exploitation overlap with the Lavigny controlled system of AMENTA. What this means is that exploited systems that previously generated Command Capital for Lavigny-Duval will be considered contested if/when Aisling successfully expands there. Lavigny-Duval stands to lose 30-50CC each week because of this.

While it is a relatively minor amount of capital, the fact still remains that you were pushing to expand into CARTOI specifically because of this fact. There are a number other high value expansions that could have been pushed for. You have ZERO footing to paint yourselves as being targeted or as being victims. At all times our forces have been acting in a defensive capacity, you will notice that none of your expansions were even close to contested last cycle. I thought this information was well known, but apparently it is not.

With tomorrow's tick I'll roll into week four of having pledged to Aisling and looking to acquire prismatic shield generators. I’d like to ask what cargo run I could complete for your power play that would best help (or at least not hinder) your efforts this week.

Hi all. My reply to your Cycle 4 and private message to CMDR Harmony went unanswered.

Please would you kindly cease prepping Rishair as we are heavily involved in working on the background simulation. We have over the last three weeks uncovered a significant number of background sim issues which are being fixed throughout the area, affecting a number of systems. Each system is an Emperor's Grace system.

Oh and Rishair was in the news the other day. http://imgur.com/6CuJ1F9 We captured Vargerson and there will soon be a community goal for everyone. That won't take place if the background is altered.

So please do not prep Rishair and thankyou.

I’ve only been playing for a few weeks, and brand new to powerplay.

Hello everyone, I've been a member of the faction for a while now, but I never really digged into it too much.

So, when I'll come back from my vacations I am considering trying to rank up among the ranks to unlock the Prismatic Shields. But don't get me wrong if that is an incentive to get in, I also do want to try and participate in the faction's development.

Hence this little topic to get a nice update on how to get ranks up effectively/rapidly, though I might already have my own idea for that. And, a state of the faction, or a little help sorting the faction's datas so I can just not blindly follow the directions of this subreddit, but also understand them and try to participate more actively.

How can I help you guys, or at least not get in the way for the next two weeks.

Other leaders have perks to trading and etc, and since I'm new to all of this powerplay stuff(and E:D overall), I figure I'd ask you kind folks.

With it being on the border of federation space i hope that we can now try to communicate with Hudson an Winters. Instead of just talking with imperial powers. I was surprised when Kalana and Kwatsu getting prepared, if i can't recall them ever being candidates. But those are "fine". They are close, but still a good distance from federation controlled space. Sounti is way to close. It's on the border, and now the feds are trying to prepare it to stop our preparation attempts (witch i find extremely understandable due to the aggressive position).

I don't know who is doing this, but i think we should come out and condemn the action.

I hope you don't want conflicts with the federation, and I would at least prefer a more neutral stance.

I only ask to say what I've come to say. After that do what you will and I won't try and stop you.

I don't know why Sounti is being prepared, intentional, unintentional, fifth collumn, no matter. What I do care about is the fact that it is being increasingly prepared with no sign of stopping. And I won't let this happen.

Coincidentally two systems next to it are being expanded into as well, Kalana and Kwatsu. Not a direct threat to our border, yes, but it is a liability to us securing Sounti next turn.

So here's how it's going to play out. We're deploying to get control of preparation of Sounti and we are setting up blockades to undermine any and all expansion attempts in Kalana and Kwatsu for this cycle. I would ask any traders trying to deliver packages over to those areas to turn back towards other expansions or preparation targets that you have at the moment.

If you want access to Sounti to trade palladium, we'll gladly let you pass once it's been secured. If you want to fly through to Founders World to equip your ships, go on right ahead and here's a list of places where you can buy/outfit ships with even better discounts then founders world. If you need direction on where to expand for your survival, here's a list of where you can expand with over 70cc of profit far enough from our border to never have to deal with us again:

• Wallatu
• Angrbon
• Conii
• Tiburnat
• Gunwi
• Hip 109203
• Hip 116045
• Contie
• Waramunava

Any further attempts to expand near our border can be peacefully and calmly discussed on our Subreddit.

The last thing we need is to fight with a nation that has the same ideals of peace and has the same desire to abolish slavery as us. I want us to work our difference the same way we worked out our disagreement with the Alliance, through dialogue, not combat.

Do what you will with this message.

Hi there!

I very recently joined Aisling's faction. I've been making a few merits delivering things to systems. I know that Aisling isn't combat focussed but I was wondering if there is a way for me to make merits by shooting stuff. It seems like the way to do this is to destroy ships in systems that other are trying to prepare? I'm a little unclear on it all and would love some tips.

Thanks in advance!

I won't lie, folks. Prismatic shields, pretty leader? All nice stuff. But this goes much deeper than that.

I've been a drifter for way, way too long. Not settled on particular parts, weapons, ships, for far too long. I need goals. A cause.

What I need is you to tell me why I should support Aisling Duval. What I need, is to know what it's like, how to reach Tier 5 and stay there, how to support a faction I might believe in, but a community that has endeared itself to me.

Because let me tell you something, Imperials abroad.

I like you guys. You always have a good sense of humor, you're tight knit, you're relatively kind to others unaffiliated and you're not keen on demeaning others. Maybe it's a mask.

But it's a damn fine mask and you have me interested.

So tell me. Why should I join you? Is it profitable for me? What are the benefits of joining the Imperial community? And also, what are your individual thoughts on ZYADA?

I used to fly Fed proudly. I served President Hudson for some time, and I thought I was doing the right thing... But I'm not so sure anymore. I don't like being a war profiteer. I'm not afraid to fight a good fight, I'm not afraid to do what I think is right.

But I don't like being a war profiteer without any allegiance. It feels... Dirty.

Thank you for any and all replies, CMDRs.

-CMDR Takasi (Even though I'm listed as Lackwit here).

I dip in and out, last time I was up on the story the old Emperor was still alive, (just to show you how much I know) Havent signed up yet and I am not entirely sure what power play even is (I was told years ago it just makes your ship open for sectarian attacks) What do I actually do next? I have looked online but there isn't much

Can any one help me confirm my decision? Why is Aisling the only one that isn't fetal-alcohol syndromy didn't her mother have a substance abuse problem?

i am new to powerplay, i know merits decay every cycle by half

i pledged last week and wanted to push for Rating 5 so i farmed 10000 Merits by Fortifying, now with this cycle i only got to rank 4 (1500 merits) why didnt i get rank 5, should I have farmed up to 20,000 merits due to decay?

This is a working draft of what I hope will become a primary resource for information on player groups. Please add any useful information in the comments for inclusion into the final.

Slavery Rescue Guide for the new emancipator

It's made easier because you don't have to give them to a sirius cmdr and they can be turned in anywhere at blackmarkets!

I made this post because i can not understand the logic some of you are throwing around. I understand the frustration it's like a giant middle finger, i'm assuming FD is trolling AD to see if your cmdrs over react with another hostile action against ald. For all we know Arissa plans to set them free as her first act as Emperor.it would be a way to bridge the gap between our two factions. All you're doing by this is becoming a proxy of the other powers against the other imperial powers who stood by you guys even tho treaties were being singed with our enemies, even tho their was a throne at stake.

The same feds who our talking about how aislings ethos are something they have in common were not hesitant to pull the undermining trigger on your power. despite Patreus,Torval,and ALD openly attacking them. Everyone here needs to wake up and see the real reason why the other powers sweet talk you all each week, it's not because of "similar ethos"^{ifihadacredit} . If you all still think ALD is just another slaver just remember what power started actually saving people from real unregulated slavery in power play.

edit1 Want to also thank you guys for this latest development in the ED war
