  • The bonus is calculated as:
    • Pacified: T10% or lower = 3 CB bonus
    • Restive: T11% to T25% = 2 CB bonus
    • In contention: T26% to T50% = 1 CB bonus
    • Lost: more than T50% = no CB bonus
  • The bonus is calculated on the following areas (you get the bonus above for meeting each one of the following criteria):
    • Your home sector
    • The sectors adjacent to your home sector
    • Your home quadrant
    • Your home reach
  • Note that neighborhood bonuses build on the prior level to be completed.
    • Home sector bonuses require home system criteria completed.
    • Adjacent sector bonuses require home sector criteria completed.
    • Quadrant bonuses require adjacent sector criteria completed.
    • Reach bonuses require quadrant criteria completed.
  • Note also that if you have even one non-green system adjacent to your home system, you will have no neighborhood bonuses even if the entire reach is pacified.
