A player moving from console to PC in Elite Dangerous has raised questions about engaging with the Background Simulation (BGS) system. They want to know if supporting smaller factions is viable and how much impact a solo player can realistically have on faction dynamics. The player also asks about the consequences of pirating on faction strength and whether specific actions, like supplying antibiotics, influence outbreak events. Additionally, they seek clarity on the progression stage needed to effectively participate in BGS activities. This inquiry highlights ongoing community interest in mastering Elite Dangerous' political and economic systems.
- Smaller factions can be influenced but require strategic effort.
