Many new players ask questions about BackGround Simulation (BGS) and what to do to help when participating in a minor player faction.

The following is a list of actions that Terra-EX Astro Corp (TEAC) faction planner CMDR Pastoral have put together and pinned at our discord channel #faction_news at discord.d2ea.com.

I have copied it here so I could add links to more information on the different stuff you can do to help :-)

About TEAC

Terra-EX Astro Corp is the Player minor faction that Down To Earth Astronomy started in a livestream event on the 28. of april 2018.

Trade

This means trading in a TEAC controlled port by selling commodities to that port and making a profit for yourself.

Bounties

You can earn bounties by killing NPCs in any TEAC controlled system where you do this in the system is depending on your combat ability. A Resource Extraction Site is an example. These can be low, medium, high or Hazardous. You should not be afraid to do this as if you are a inexperienced/noob - just go into a high res site follow the police around and let them shoot first at an NPC. When that NPC is getting close to 0% all you need to do is tag it by shooting at it until it indicates red and once destroyed you get the bounty. Then go to any TEAC controlled star port and sell those bounties to the authority contact under contacts tab.

Missions

Various mission are available and the better your reputation with TEAC the higher paid they become. Missions are also dependent on your ability if you were offered a dangerous level kill mission and are harmless it may not be the best one to take! Unless you like Best missions are dependent on what TEAC are doing I.e. election missions to win an election or war for wars. However ANY missions always outside of those system states benefit TEAC.

Gaining reputation with TEAC gives better missions and higher payouts, materials and so on.

Cartographics

This can be handed in in any TEAC controlled star port, you can consider doing road-to-riches or just collect as you travel around new systems but you will need to switch to analyse mode and use he discovery scanner, etc.
