How long can a lockdown take?

[Sozzky]

Draconis 17 is on a lockdown for 2 days already. When should it end?

[FalterXV TTV]

probably on the next cycle change, provided the BGS is corrected by pilots and returned to a "healthy"ish state again

And when is that?

normally each cycle for the bgs and PP is on 7am GMT or server time, however, 17 draconis has just entered this state, so im sure at minimum for another entire cycle-depending on cmdr actions
keep an eye on Galnet news, they will tell u the state of certain systems and such, and when the next cycle comes around, ull be able to see if 17 draconis is no longer in lockdown

alright, tyvm

no problem commander, i do know that frontier changed the massacre system so skimmers no longer count towards massacre progress, if u are looking for more systems in civil war state, you could try filtering the map view to systems in a state of civil war, when i was on last, the system of Apollo in Li Yong-Rui space was in a state of civil war, and offering some nice missions for conflict in general, and with the conflict zones within a few kilometers of the repair outpost and repair planetary base, it was nice to fly there-it also was nice that the faction i sided with was federation which helped with rank progress, as the more money u are offered for a mission for a minor faction aligned with a super power, gives u more rank respectively

it can change to civil war from lockdown too if the bgs keeps its current course :)

System states are all dependent on player actions, and can be pretty short; or last quite a while.

This is an interesting read to find out how to shorten and manipulate system statuses. It also gives a minumum and maximum timeline for different statuses.:

A lockdown can be lifted by people going and fighting in res. I remember group of us doing it when founders went down

[ZombieHunter]

As mrraybaker said go in and fight in res's. However, don't expect one pilot to make a huge difference. You will need several if not several wings to make a difference in the BGS.

Well given how many like "fighting" out at 17 drac should be plenty to help!

[Ray Robertson]

How many actions are needed to effect a state resolution is a factor of the population of the system and how many commanders are taking actions.

One commander can certainly affect the bgs in a small population system with few or no other commanders taking actions. One commander can also affect the bgs in a larger population system, but it would take more actions from him and the more commanders there are the more actions are required as a sum.

Ty for the info guys

BTW if you are wanting to fight in a nice profitable civil war New Yembo is also good atm, I was pulling 10mil an hour without the need to board flip! Once you've done first few missions to rep up with one faction there was at least 4 usually 6 kill missions every time I came back to the station.

{note was last there 2 days ago, it's a ways out so check its state before travelling, also it doesn't have a shipyard so you have to take a ship to fight in}

10mil an hour would be a waste of time, since i can make 50-100/hr doing scimmers in Naitis.. What are each mission rewards?

[raymazoida]

I was getting 5-7mil, but I don't explot skimmers so I don't even know if there is a way to do that.

If you base all activites worth on the latest exploit then 99% of the game is a waste of time!

CZs are lots of fun if you keep your shields up, killing skimmers? About as fun as stomping cockroaches IMO

Anyway this thread seems to have reached it's natural endpoint.
