Squad Update:  (Updated by Bloom 10/16)

• BGS is apparently fixed - We had a bunch of conflicts going back to 8/31 that have since begun and completed

• Only time and testing will tell what is and isn’t fixed.

• 13 systems over 75% influence - so even if things are fixed…

• Wars in Synuefe and Col 285 sectors along with Yen Ti

• Victory in Musca Dark Region UE-W a3-0 - thank you Uraniborg and Edward Skeele

• We Just expanded out of Maikoro

• We’re in 319 systems controlling 79

PowerPlay Update: - (updated by Obl1v1ous) 

Cycle 50: I will interpret CMDR KurgerFive’s analysis so you won’t have to. 

• Kaine wrestled seventh place away from Antal on the FDev board,

• For the fifth week in a row our frat boy Rui, has delivered the strongest performance which even out distanced the fancy footwork of Princess Podiatry.  

• At this pace Yong-Rui will move to second on Nicey/KrugerFive charts. And what of the FDev charts? Well this reporter believes FDev treats Rui like an SEC referee treats Auburn football. 

• Down in tenth place it looks like Torval is about to win the Torval Delaine staring contest.  

• And at the bottom of the pile, the only growth Emperor Arissa has seen is that mole on her face while Patreus dropped another three exploited systems.

Dev News: 

Type 11 Prospecter Update 2

• Introduced new functionality to prevent 'claim sniping'. When the primary port is completed in a newly colonised system, an exclusive lock on making claims FROM that system's colonisation contact will be enforced for a short period

• The System Architect may exclusively make claims from the system for 30 minutes

• After this 30 minutes expires, anyone within the System Architect's Squadron may make a claim for the next 23.5 hours

• This will function even if the System Architect is in their own solo Squadron

• After a total of 24 hours, the exclusive claim rights lift and any player may make a claim from the newly constructed system

• Note that if the System Architect is not in a squadron, then only the 30 minute lockout applies.

• The claim panel via the colonisation contact has been updated to display when a lockout is in effect, and details the remaining duration 

COMPANION API

• Facility construction effort requirements info has been included in the /market endpoint

BUG FIXES

• Fixed the main cause of the faction simulation (BGS) becoming stuck in some situations. This should resolve most instances of conflicts/expansion/influence etc. not functioning as intended. 

• Fixed instances of a physics issue that could cause ships to explode

• Fixed multiple issues with transferring cargo from your ship to fleet carrier inventory

• Fixed instances when transferring cargo to fleet carrier inventory, the transfer can sometimes silently fail with items "lost" on both the carrier and ship until a relog (Issue ID: 78801)

• Fixed instances of transferring all cargo at once from ship to fleet carrier inventory to fail

Discussion:

Community Corner:

• Elite Dangerous and Odyssey are on sale on Steam again ($5.99 & $8.99 respectively) until Oct-21.

• More holo-skins on sale for T-11 (why no yellow?)
