Silver TafferHelp in a combat zone is optimal, although you can work alone. They are tougher than RES and some hull tanking is a good idea.
The way I understand it the best way to affect the war is to drop into the CZ, select your faction, kill one enemy ship, turn in the combat bond, then rinse and repeat up to 10 times.
There has been some dispute over this so if I have that wrong hopefully someone will put us both straight?



Wow, that’s sounds kind’of exploity..! : O
Not that I should be saying anything, or acting like a saint.. Not with my track record.


Seriously, it's not an exploit. The BGS works by design, in a way that is kept secret by FD, and is a constant source of debate about how best to affect it. Any successful method is a manipulation granted by the game mechanics, rather that a cheating of the rules

It's not exploitation. It's how BGS wars are won.

I’m guessing I’ll need help with the impending war that I’ll need to win so I can capture command of the station. Are there any of those BGS role playing groups here that help with that kind of stuff? You know like, they’ll lend a hand for you if you promise to repay their favor or something?


There might be a group or two out there that offers such services.

Some imperfections of the BGS fall in the exploit category, but most of them have been fixed (and broken, and refixed) by FD. Still, never rely on what you think works, always keep on testing things. That's the spirit of the BGS.

FD doesn't keep things secret. They simply let us figure out things by ourselves, and with enough prodding we can coax them to do what we'd like them to. Just takes a few years and blackmailing...

Hello commanders,
I want to send a message to all of the members of the wing I am in. Is there a way to do this other than one at a time through a private message?
Thanks in advance,

If it is a message for all your wing members you should have a thread for general discussion on your site you can post to. Only viewable to your wing mates. If they are not reading your site pages they probably won't see a PM either.

I suppose its safe to say that no game is perfect, but hey! At least they're open to change! After some years of blackmailing. XD

Apparently PS Network is having some issues all across Europe, but I haven't had any problems.
