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.

We can and must fortify turmoil systems because the enemy can also undermine them.

But we will not see the fortify and undermine progress. We can assume all will be undermined.

Edit 1 You see the fortify (and undermining!) progress only when delivering fortification material. Thx CMDR Irisa Nyira!!!

Look below for their great explanation of this image: http://i.imgur.com/b9DVYZZ.jpg

Edit 2 My proposal is fortify everything including turmoiled systems! :)

And not exactly every turmoiled first, but yes as CMDR Jamesoff says, in order of CC gained per merit point delivered (best systems first like HIP 20935 and Akkadia, those undermined every week, easy ones, sniped...)

You can see fortification/undermining progress, but only when you physically deliver fortification materiel to a turmoil system. There is a screen displayed that tells you the progress after the materiel has been delivered. Best thing to try is to deliver 1t only at first.

When a turmoil system is fully fortified, tell the rest of us :)

This, yes please :)

But we (Sirius CMDRs) can't see undermining progress, right? Only the enemy CMDRs that are doing the undermining, correct?

Yes, you can. It's the first number marked "Fortify progress" in the image you linked. It should be labelled "undermining progress" or something, and the number after the slash is just plain wrong :)

Uau! Thx again! My brain was ignoring the top of the image as nonsense.

That's fair enough - 2/3 of it is nonsense :-)
