Well then, the general concensus on the official forum about today's Galnet seems to be "This has been written like FDev expected the Feds to win it "

If Fdev really wanted the Feds to win then they should have wrote it that there was irrefutable proof that Hadrian Duval was involved instead of leaving grey area. As a player base we tend to always go against the aggressor unless there is overwhelming evidence that supports the action.

As a player base the trend has been for the Federation to win, because for years new players spawned in Fed territory.

Guess I'm a Fed.

They probably did expect that. From what I understand, I believe this will be the first time the Empire won a war over the Federation in the last 5 years.

In recent times it's been the Empire invading Federation space though has it not?

I am happy that at least someone enjoy this childish story.

Possibly. I haven't been paying that close attention. I just know chat has been full of a lot of people being surprised about the Empire actually winning a fight against the Federation.

It's a very welcome and overdue surprise indeed

I note there is a bit of a dearth of human CMDRs at the CZ tonight compared with previous evenings, though I did briefly get to wing up again and there are plenty of gankers to keep people on their toes. I am considering setting a personal goal of getting 100MCr (currently just over 73 mill) in bonds before the CG ends, but I am also tempted to head for Colonia to kick some Sirius/Kumo butt.

Update: There still seems to be a few at the nearby CZs, it must be issues with instancing

I wonder would you love it if instead of massively unknown league of mandu you got some squadron supported MF?

You keep calling this non-sense "Empire vs Feds" while it is just some unknown faction vs squadron of living players.

Would be interesting to see an alternate timeline where the attacking MF had been supported by a player squadron. Otherwise, he's just happy because it's our home system that is on the defense and is not losing.

SakashiroCombat is hard work! After spending two hours in CZs, my keyboard hand hurts. Maybe I should switch to mining...



THAT BOAT SAILED A LONG TIME AGO.


I look in there again after some time and see this... My wallet would disagree with you Saka

I just unlocked one of those double-engineered FSDs for my Python. Going to take a break from combat and spend some time hauling.
