“Although there are several candidates, Mahon’s only serious challenger is Councillor Nakato Kaine. She has been a vocal critic of his expansionist policies, and gained much public support for her focus on boosting trade between Alliance systems.”


I'm taking a wildly speculative guess that Nakato Kaine will be meeting her demise soon.

I hope not.. I don't like the monotone nature of Mahon's Alliance.. he needs more rivals and the Alliance should have more than 1.

Should also have at least some kind of militia type "Navy" to have nothing vs the empire and federation's capital ships? Its a joke. Is the Alliance based on the model of the ant-hill? One leader and mass numbers? Their only battle strategy is "death by a thousand tiny cuts."? I don't see why the feds or imps haven't over-run alliance space long ago.

(I'm sure theres a lore reason, i just havent had the time to research it, more thoroughly.)

In fact the incongruous nature of its de-centralization confuses me. Is there no infrastructure? how does alliance occupy so much space with so little "government" i cant find who to talk to in "leadership" for working the BGS toward an alliance goal. If you chop off the head of the snake does it then die? I mean if Mahon met with some unfortunate "accident" wouldn't the alliance just splinter into a dozen "super-factions?"

So what you're telling me is I did 96 million in bonds (plus the massacre missions) for a 1.6mil bonus?

Nah, this isn't nerfed. It only hit Tier 1. If it hits Tier 8 (spoiler: it won't) then compare.

Just a little bit. 1.6 million for top 10%. Think that covers the cost of the ammo I spent.

There's only 5 tiers this time around, and for some odd reason they were all evenly spread. Usually the amount we have to get doubles with each tier, making tier 1 very easy to obtain and the top tier a lofty goal... No sure why but it's an even spread with each tier being 20%. By this logic the top 10 players would get 10million credits if it were to hit Tier 5. (Which it won't).

WTF is wrong with you people? You got one well paid CG and you forgot how it was in the past?

Suck it and move on. That CG is purely for the role playing and story.
