We have been tipped by one of our Allies that the Gems from part 3 of the Dangerous Games are active again. 

I'm making 24 mil an hour in the Conda to give you an example of how good this is. 

WE ASK THAT YOU KEEP THIS IN EXO CHAT ONLY!! Tons of people running this will eventually lower sell prices and attract griefers. We are doing this for the benefit of our newer members to make some big cash quick.

First, you'll need a hauling ship. Below are some I've whipped up real quick. The important part to pay attention to is the optional internals. Core internals are set up for optimal jump range. Weapons are pilot preference.

Buy limpets in the Restock option at the station before leaving.

Once you've got your ship, head to Maiki. Go to planet 3 and look for an Unidentified Signal Source. Lock on and drop in to it just like you would a station. Stop and gather all the gems and then log out and back in in either Solo or Private Group. Keep gathering gems and logging out and in until your cargo is full. If you do it with a partner, the gems will just re-spawn after 20-30 seconds without having to log out. The choice is yours.

This is smuggling so you will need to sell these at a station that has a Black Market. They sell for as much as 70k a piece and I've seen them as low as 50k. Just sell at different stations until you find one you're happy with.  

Ask for docking and get through that slot as fast as possible. Use silent running if a scan starts and turn it off once you dock. Use heat sinks if needed. If you get fined, don't pay it. Just don't die in that system you have the fine or else you'll have to pay the fine before your rebuy. People have gone bankrupt before so be careful! Don't forget to buy limpets before leaving the station!

We have watched it for a full tick and they are still there which means we believe they will be there until cycle tick next Thursday so you need to act quick.

This is grindy folks. Get your Netflix, podcasts, whatever at the ready.

EXO has been expanding like crazy, and we now have influence in four new uncontrolled systems: Wuniez, Badja, Roustem, and Tomas. Time to take control of these four systems! Boost our influence to >70% to help us trigger a war and take over.

Methods:

• Navy - Bounty hunt in Wolf 1301 without a kill warrant scanner, and cash in only EXO bounties at any station in Wuniez, Badja, Roustem, or Tomas. Running EXO missions out of these systems will also help. Killing ships of the controlling faction (which you can find by looking in the system map) will help to undermine them and allow us to take over. 
  Navy leaders will divide you up by flight to let you know where to focus your efforts.
• Logistics - Run EXO missions out of Wuniez, Badja, Roustem, and Tomas. Also, look to your leaders for info about which systems have black markets - selling illegal goods will undermine the controlling faction and help us to take over.
• Explorers - Keep doing your thing. Only cash in exploration data in systems that we already control. Your leaders will let you know where we need it most, so get in touch with them when you're returning home.

A community goal which began on August 11th involves our GalCop allies, The Imperial Inquisition. They control the system Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16, and the Feds are invading it. 

We've been asked by GalCop to come to their defense and help them win the CG and retain their space. 

Please report to the TII Research Facility, Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16, and pick up the community goal entitled The Fight for Pleiades Sector IH-V C2-16 – Empire. Fight in the war on behalf of the Empire and turn in your combat bonds at the TII Research Facility.

Note: Some of you guys are federal supporters, and that's fine. Generally EXO doesn't take sides in the feds vs imperials stuff, and we want everyone to be free to support the powers of their choice. That said, this is about defending a GalCop ally, a real player faction, and we hope you can see your way to helping even if you normally tend to support the feds.

Push EXO influence up past 70% and hold it there to force us into war so we can be controlling faction in the system.

The Wuniez system is our second loose end that'd we'd like to take control of. Almost identical to our first loose end.

Methods:
Take and complete EXO missions from any station in Wuniez space.
Bounty hunt in Wolf 1301 and turn in the EXO vouchers at any station in Wuniez.

​CMDR Nezrec has asked for our assistance in running missions for Prismatic Knights in Beta-1 Tucanae.

Running missions for this minor faction is currently the only thing we can do to raise their influence as they aren't controlling faction yet. If you're bored, please stop by this system and run 10-15 missions a day. That's all it takes.

PA and Nezrec helped us many times fending off the cats.  They will issue the challenge "Bird?" to which you will respond "Firebird" in order to declare yourself friendly

We don't have a whole hellava lot going on and our BGS is doing ok so now would be a good time to lend them an hour or so.

Thanks CMDRs!!
