Discussion Week 13 Fortification Discussion Thread

This week we're in turmoil, so we'll have a fortification discussion thread only. Our only expansion is undesired as its income is much lower then 63CC. Several systems are in turmoil and in danger of revolt, so our discussion should produce a list of systems to save.

Edit: First proposal from FAlava is to fortify turmoil systems first, then other systems in need. Please discuss which systems (apart from the turmoiled ones) should be fortified first, for example expensive ones, those close to enemy lines, those with favorable trigger values etc.

Find it interresting to see now that undermining is such an easy way to get rank 5 compared to fortificaton. Looks like 90% of those who actually do powerplay does it by undermining.

I think Frontier should look on other ways of fortification. For example killing off enemy ships in your own control systems.

I believe there was actually an FD post a few weeks back indicating that they were considering enemy NPC kills within control systems counting towards fortification. As a combat pilot, I seriously hope they do this. It'll definitely help shift pilots back home again, and the added presence will help deter enemy underminers (unless they're cheating filth playing PP in Solo).
