So what if you don't win the first time around, that doesn't mean you'll never win.
^ This

Take my guild for instance we pushed hard for the first one, we wanted to win that first one badly. However the second round our guild message of the day basically told us to relax & go back to doing what we normally do & just go for conquest points at our own pace. We basically stopped worrying about winning. When we tried we put up the server best score, but after the first one we just didn't care as much. If we win great, if not oh well.

Once other guilds get their ships unlocked & their titles there will be little incentive other then pride & most will not put the same effort into it. That will open the doors for smaller dedicated guilds to creep in.

I was laughing with you...but I shall never doubt you again...

As for the part I snipped out, I agreed with it. I think we'll be wise to wait a couple more weeks to see how things pan out. I've loved conquests so far!!!
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

Farming Frameworks is a very lucrative process, I imagine. They're going for 10-20mil per Framework so far.

Only need to make top ten to get the framework rewards.

If you win, you get the Flyby items to let you break shields early and kill Commanders without much interference. That's where the money is.

I already know one intends to rename the guild and sell the ship/guild for cash... AFAIK he even has a buyer lined up... Would not shock me in the least that there are several guild leaders planning to do this....

And then start again with another guild...

True having the named commanders on farm status is very nice.

You don't have to hold the planet however to farm them, but dropping the shield can help.

Without Flybys, you're stuck waiting for the shield to drop and that could be 5 hours. Five hours in which any and all guilds swinging through can see that he's up and will be available at a certain time.

With Flybys, you find him, assemble a group and go down him while no one else is around. Easy peasy.

Of course, now I'm hearing that Flybys are bugged and 'anyone' can use them, not just Conquering guilds....

Yeah that's what I've heard as well. Which kind of takes away one of the largest points of conquering the planet in the first place.

That doesn't seem that bad to me.
