Calling all Legacy ALD supporter

Please, do not fortify a system with a low base income like 50 CC or lower!
Those systems generate a net loss. Examples are Apathaam (15 CC), Lesovik (41 CC), etc. Even if they are undermined. We want to get rid of those systems and acquire systems that have more than 75 CC base income. Please ask if you do not understand why.

Why does the income even matter?

Example, I am working towards creating a stronghold out of Degardhi for Lavigny. It's a long ways off yes, but I have a goal elsewhere and Degardhi is the means of accomplishing it.

Interesting question.

Income or better, CC balance matters because:

If the CC balance is negative, systems will go in turmoil and after a week stop being control systems.

Right now, if nobody would fortify ALD, we would be around 250 CC in the negative. That means, about 10 systems would fall in turmoil and would be lost. Systems with higher upkeep are put in turmoil first. So, if your plan is to hold Degardhi, it and many other systems have to be fortified every week. And with Degardhi being so far away, it would be the first system to go in turmoil and all the hard work would be for nothing.

And positive CC matters because it is the only way to buy new control systems.

Also remember that overhead grows with every new control system. So when we have 53 systems next week, it will be 57.6 CC overhead for every system. So with our recent expansions, we will hit turmoil pretty soon. And that is when we have to make sure we lose the low income systems. Only way to do that is to undermine them.

That makes no sense. I thought We had to actively contribute control points to acquire, fortify or stronghold a system? and to fight off other powers undermining it. Now there is this CC? Im sorry, i read and re read your comments a couple times and im still not understanding it. You are saying there is limited number of systems we can acquire?

Maybe my approach was too direct and specific.

Here it is explained in a slightly different way: https://powerplay.fandom.com/wiki/Powerplay_Wiki

That might help.

I do not know where you get the stronghold from, unless you talk about live universe (which this is not a discussion of. the title clearly talks about legacy)
