Elite Dangerous: Odyssey | Creating a BGS Plan
Let's learn about BGS plans, what should go into them, and how you can plan to make your own. I take you through creating a plan for one of our factions after a short presentation.

Elite Dangerous | BGS | Testing out a new smuggling exploit

We got a hot tip from the community on a way to steal bulk high value goods for free... and treat them both as "clean" and stolen at the same time. Turns out... well, you'll see.
Elite Dangerous | BGS | Trading for influence via carrier transfers 2.0
Переглядів 111Місяць тому
The first carrier transfer video was inconclusive as it was too busy, so let's replicate the results in a bigger, but hopefully much quieter system. Results are in: carrier transfers to market sales works. You can load up cheaply elsewhere and provide in demand goods to a destination market just as if you were doing a long haul trade route.
Elite Dangerous | BGS | Smuggling via carrier transfer to reduce influence
Переглядів 191Місяць тому
Let's research whether you can reduce a faction's influence by smuggling prohibited goods via carrier transfer. Lastly, we test if smuggling was nerfed by the most recent trade update by testing smuggling from a carrier market to a black market. The results will surprise you.

    Hello and thank you for your fabulous work. You are my new BGS reference for ED. Just a small contribution: you can change the status of a modification by double-clicking on it. A modification that appears in blue is one you want to make, while a modification that appears in yellow is one you have already made. If you double-click on a blue modification, it turns yellow and vice versa.

    I'm really new and there's a lot I don't know but it seems to me that the most basic explanation of BGS might include what the hell BGS stands for. I'm three minutes in I still have no idea what the hell BGS is.

    • @vanderaj
      @vanderaj 24 дні тому

      That's definitely my bad! I should do a new video that explicitly makes it clear. It stands for "BackGround Simulation". The BGS touches all the populated systems in Elite Dangerous: - System states by the controlling faction, which affects what you can do in the system and who controls it - Faction states, including economic and security sliders, which impacts markets, events going on in each system, modifiers for things like trade, combat bounties, exploration data, and so on - Wars and elections between factions, which you can push or fight against to transfer control of systems and assets - Trade opportunities - Ship and module availability - and everything else that you see in populated systems... If it changes, it's the BGS. And you can manipulate it! Manipulating the BGS is fun, and learning all the ins and outs can be challenging. I learn new stuff every week, and I've been doing it since 2019, but you can learn the basics in a short video like this one.

    Once again, I just wanted to say I really appreciate being able to work with you on this. Not only because you know, my system, but BGS is something entirely alien to me that you're breaking down incredibly well into complex but still easy to understand examples and explanations And thats not even getting into the pvp part. I wad intrigued how bad diplomacy on their part for galactic 911 turned out so badly for them. Had they been more civil and recruited more people to their side as you said, this could have been avoided. Instead they got salty, alienated other people, and blamed everyone else. When I came to you I was pretty obviously desperate. I laid out without going into detail why my syatem was important (I didnt want to abuse specific details to generate sympathy. I just left it at theirs reasons why Im the last person left) and I also said I would do work for you to compensate and would be willing to retake control solo if needed. In short, while I didnt have anything to really bargain with. I didnt insult anyone, wasnt rude, and I offered compensation in the form of work for you. I feel like just by being open and honest and not being salty, I achieved more then galcatic 911.

    Testing thoroughly is really valuable, the time and effort you take to check *current* facts is much appreciated. One of the challenges I have had in the past, with various aspects of exploration / engineering etc, has been the way some people advised me to do things which did not work / were outdated / had incomplete information. Thorough research is vital, valuable and rare sometimes 🙂 Thanks again for sharing your work ! o7

      Thanks - I feel strongly that a lot of BGS "knowledge" is passed from others and is out of date. I'll be doing more experiments in the coming weeks. One of the largest experiments we need to do is to characterize trade, because the old formulas don't work any more. We know that demand is now more important than profit, but ... by how much? We don't know. Let's find out.

    I already tested this as long as a black market exists . It works but simply buying battle weapons is just as effective. Another thing to remember if you lose money on the sale it hits them double harder. You can make the station owners lose influence by losing credits on a sale. If your doing both it hits twice as hard I have over 6000 hours of bgs work for 160 S.O.A.R. Squadron.

    Of course that smuggling from a FC work, you can still use the price manipulation of the FC to increase the profit with smuggling and boost up the +20% Mahon bonus alongside (yes yes, Mahon trade profit bonus do work for smuggling) AND unlike legal trading, it will still keep the full intended BGS effect, but in your test you have forget one fundamental rule which is the same rule that you have to conssider when you legal trade for influence :3

    "It is thought, but untested, that space CZs are more impactful than their equivalent ground CZs" I actually kind of tested this just last week, although not intentionally, just through playing as I would normally. First day of the war I completed around 7 ground low CZs, seems loke it hardly mattered as that day was lost for said faction. Second day I completed around 10 space low CZs and that day was won. Is it conclusive proof? No, far from it actually! But it adds a little bit of support for that line of thought. :)

    Hi mate, I'm thinking of buying the Python Mk2 myself I believe you can buy one already engineered, I think it's the red looking one. Can you only unlock it at a certain star port or will it appear at any? I don't have elite status so can't dock at James or wherever you are.

      You can buy the Python Mk 2 at any large starport or planetary port with a shipyard. Click on the "Prebuilt Ships" button (which I didn't see during this stream), and buy your ARX and then the ship. The one you mentioned is the fully built one. Fully engineered, it's a great PvE ship, but it will require engineering, so spend some time getting the materials and engineering opened. I have another live stream where I engineer mine.

I'm gutted about that, fuel is going down real fast, I'm constantly looking for a sun to fuel scoop!!. I'm used to my Diamond back explorer which I engineered which goes much further before needing fuel. Gutted because it's a lovely ship but I'm not going to able to get far in it without constantly fuel scooping. I'm now wondering if I sell it I might have enough to buy the Krait or Krait mk2?? I've heard they can go long distances and have good storage space. I can't even fit a landing buggy or landing in this. Might buy the new Diamond back explorer mk 2 also, hopefully it will allow me to travel further.
