Lyon DeLacyI'm sorry about that, too. It's just I find it wrong that the strong and richer players risk nothing, whereas killed newbies feel discouraged after losing the money they worked for hour - yet they are told to 'git gud' or play Private Groups. And that's what got me triggered.

Myself, I like Private Groups. Truth is, 99% of time there's no one to log nearby me to wing up and do missions/bounting together (I'm in six Private Groups). That's why I risk into Open Mode and sometimes I meet with very bitter disappointment.


Nothing wrong with going solo or private. It just makes for a less rich environment. But it's a big galaxy, and you can play open but just cruise areas less likely to attract that element. And I'd argue that the latest crime & punishment changes create a greater risk and cost for them. And FDevs are always looking for comments on the various aspects...you can certainly make your case on their forums.

Quick question, what graphics injector/postprocessing pairs the best with elite ? : EDFX, gemfx, reshade ? Do any of them have a large performance hit ?

my offer of Thargoid hunting remains open to all that are interested or already enjoy this activity. [...]


Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather not waste my time on admistering a pancea for the symptoms. I'd prefer to utilize my time taking out the cause.

I use ReShade. Performance hits are neglegable on my GTX1070.

Hey, regarding my research on the BGS, I learned about how to start wars/civil wars, and I managed to get my faction to equalize with the other leading faction (so that we could start a civil war, and my faction could win and take over the primary station. However, instead of the pending state being Civil War, it’s pending an election! I know it’s just a peaceful way to determine who becomes the leading faction, but I sort of wanted a Civil War.. is there someway I can interrupt this?
Both factions are currently in Boom and are at 33.3 percent influence, the highest in the system.

Nope, you can't stop it once it goes pending.

Whether you fight a war or election depends on the government type groups of the two factions.

If the factions are of the same govt group, they will fight an election. If they are of different groups, they will fight a war.

Social groups - Democracy, Confederacy, Cooperative)
Authoritarian groups - Dictatorship, Patronage, Theocracy, Feudal, Prison Colony
Corporate group - corporation
Criminal - anarchy

I might have missed some, but you get the idea.

Ohhhhh, okay then! That makes sense.
But now here’s another thing - I just logged on today Inara after having been gone for two days from ED to manually check my factions progress, and we’ve lost some influence. We’re now at 36 percent influence for the main faction, and 29 for mine. Will this cancel the pending Election? Or can I boost our numbers quickly and keep it going?

Once any conflict (War / Civil War / Election) goes pending it will happen (contrary to some other States).

Just keep on pushing your own faction to make sure you'll win. You need a gap of 3% on the 3rd live day to win (assuming the opposition holds any valuable asset that is).

Nothing will stop the election from happening once it's pending. You should concentrate on raising your faction's influence over the next few days, so that you stand a better chance of winning the election once it starts.

A 7% difference is by no means a major obstacle, though a lot depends on the population level of your system.

With reference to your earlier question: if your faction expands into a neighbouring system at some point in the future, you may well get the war you were looking for!

Yeah, gonna have to do that. It shouldn’t be too hard though. My system only has five million people!
