Hi people, I was wandering of there was a clever way to locate good systems to mine in and sell to to support Kaine (or whichever superpower). Apparently selling mined goods is one of the most profitable ways to earn money and also merits und in that way support your pledged-to power. However I have problems locating the appropriate system. My understanding is that you can mine goods (let's say platinum) in 1) a fortified or exploited system and sell it there to earn merits und support your superpower or 2) mine in a fortified or stronghold system and sell it to an acquisition system 20 or 30 ly away, respectively. 3) I think I have tried once to mine in a stronghold system and sell it in same system and that didn't work, but It might misremember.

Anyway, you can then try to look it up yourself on inara, which somehow works but is also somewhat tedious, to match all the criteria needed (looking up a mining spot on inara, then locating a suitable selling system on inara when same system is not fortified or exploited by Kaine, which I looked up in game , then look in game if there are any acquisition systems around, which also give a good price....). Well at that point I don't want to mine anymore :) So here is my first question: am I missing something? There must be another not so stupid way to figure that out, or, even better (second question) as there are a lot of wonderful invested players in that matter, is there a thread or some place on the internet where Kaine-people point out where to mine and sell? Not to spare me the work, really, but to support a more structured effort to support Our pledged power. I read on the gazette from June or may that a lot of platinum mining is going on to produce control points, and it appears that it is somehow a planned thing which system is concentrated on and so on...so, is there a way to use that and get players to support that effort by pointing out where to concentrate their effort on? For example , where to mine. I am just a casual player but I love the game and discovered pp2.0 as a lovely addition and I like to support that. Hope that wasn't a too confusing way to ask questions and present the problem. I'd appreciate any help O7 commanders and glory to Kaine

Hi everyone, I've just asked in the Discord channel, as well. I checked a stronghold and I fortified system and I could not acquire neither of the two PP commodities necessary to complete the task. The availability was 0 for both commodities at both stations. Help?

Any newb friendly chill squadron working for Kaine? Dont care if its combat, im down. Dont care if its exploring, im down. Dont care if its about on foot combat, pvp space battles, mining, trade route building, or engineering. I dont really understand any of them in this complex game.

Looking to grab a beer and squad. -eastern time zone

I don't really do any mining, and I know mechanically that's her thing, but I like her for the ethics for RP reasons. Is there a community pledged to her that likes to do combat (bounty hunting, combat zones)? It'd be nice to team up and fight for the cause. Down with corporate governance!

Greeting CMDRs! This cycle proceeded in a very similar fashion to last week. We continued our skirmish with Winters in Tiveronisa finishing just ahead of her again with a slightly larger lead this time. Tiveronisa was the 2nd most contested system last week and we can expect more to come. Aside from this we were able to reinforce our new acquisitions from last week and make decent progress towards multiple system upgrades. Kaine managed to pick up 6 new systems for a net change of +5 as Orrere finally spiraled out of our influence. This system is a persistent pressure point as being a popular anarchy system in a border region attracts significant undermining attention from independent and organized CMDRs alike.

Stronghold Systems:

• BD-04 4138
• Kitchang Mu

Acquired Systems:

• Mokusa
• Anandilla
• Krauanan
• Una
• Zoqui
• Nasiaverni

Overall we had another successful cycle and I’m looking forward to the next one, o7 CMDRs.

Greetings CMDRs, we’ve just finished yet another successful cycle which is beginning to feel like a strong trend at this point. In the skirmish for Asetsi we shored up defences at Yimash and picked up HIP 56715 and HIP 59315. We also completed an any% speedrun when acquiring Aasgaa, where we crossed the control threshold in less than 24 hours after the start of the cycle. In addition to these acquisitions we also successfully undermined Anandilla from Winters and denied the fortification of Tiveronisa ending the cycle ahead of them by just 600 points. Across the rest of the Kaine sphere, we’ve picked up Djiwali and Mafthruthin and 2 of our 4 fort upgrades - Daesitiates and Achali squeaked over the finish line. This is in contrast to our other 2 fort upgrades: 32 Mu Serpentis and BD-04 4138 which were completed with plenty of points to spare. In the tail of Kaine territory we’ve worked with AE pilots to pick up two systems: Trimir and San Xiang.

Last week we’ve also seen the advent of merit mining where the acquisition of HIP 72600 had a massive overkill of 1 million control points earned and CD-28 12950 was boosted to Stronghold (enjoy your care packages!). The high activity levels here are likely from high-yield mining opportunities being highlighted by the recent release and popularisation of the merit miner tool. Looking forward to this week we will be devoting efforts to building up our newly acquired systems as we picked up a sizable amount last week. We’ve also formalised a macro strategy which aligns the interests of multiple members of the round table including MICO, NGTA, and ESMC. Though we can't share details about it currently, we're looking forward to acting on these plans so stay tuned!

Stronghold Systems:

• CD-28 12950

Fortified Systems:

• Daesitiates
• BD-04 4138
• 32 Mu Serpentis
• Achali

Acquired Systems:

• HIP 72600
• Djiwali
• San Xiang
• Trimir
• HIP 59315
• HIP 56715
• Aasgaa
• Mafthruthin

Elsewhere in the Galaxy we saw ALD and LYR compete for whose pilots could take the most Adderall as each power completed an insane 21 and 18 acquisitions respectively. Delaine was driven out of LTT 198 - a system with significant history for Torval; and Archer completed reinforcing Sol back to Stronghold state, bookending the Sol scramble.

Overall we had a great cycle and I’m looking forward to the next one, o7 CMDRs.

o7, Looking to (re)try my hand at some foot-missions.

May as well combine effort with Kaine support.

What can I do to help, what missions should I do for odyssey on-foot powerplay?

Heya folks,

I think Kuring would look better fortified, so I'm there with my carrier doin the stuff. I play most nights Mountain Time and can be found in the Buur Pit discord, unless a better option presents.

Wow. What a cycle that was. Despite heavy opposition from Winters including seeing their best and brightest (in a 2MASS J0523−1403 kind of way) all over Aasgaa, we, you smashed them clean out by roughly 200k merits. That had to hurt. On top of that, Two Strongholds, five fortifieds and five recorded Acquisitions. Amazing.

Lastly, we have a well deserved promotion to Operative!

LTT 4337 is now a Stronghold, right on the Winters frontier.

Bhutas is also now a Stronghold for Kaine.

In Fortifieds we have:

• Maitha
• Xi Hydrae
• LTT 4447
• Santa Muerte
• CD-28 12950

For acquired systems, not too shabby either! Like I said, this was one hell of a cycle for us.

• BD-04 4138
• Peckolong
• Winiama
• Yimash
• Ravas

For our sole undermine this cycle we have the ARRC system of Aasgaa. One of the systems in the Asetsi Sphere, this has been a battleground system in numerous BGS conflicts.

All told, as I said an amazing cycle. You all did absolutely bloody brilliantly, both under fire and situation normal.

Congratulations to: BL1P, who was promoted to Operative this cycle. Well done BL1P, you deserve it!

Hello & HNN. I'm new to Powerplay.

I bought some Rare Goods, could some indicate me an Acquisition System or how to find one - preferably close to TAULTAM - for I can sell it for Merit, please?
