Squad Stuff:  

Inara has had a refresh. With so many PMFs present in hundreds of systems, the Minor Factions pages have had a refresh. 

1. When you go to Systems or States, the systems are no longer all on one page which is unfortunate, as you have to turn pages to sift through 

2. There is a filter to edit out Trailblazer systems from OG worlds. 

BGS highlights

1. In 396 Systems - Controlling 118

2. States - 7A, Qama, Alexandrinus - Boom

3. Conflicts of Interest - G 172-15 - Election vs. BD+52 3410 Partners - we’re up 2-1 and Porsche’s Progress is in jeopardy

4. Systems needing a push (controlled systems below 40% Inf.)

1. Alexandrinus - 33.4% - But 4 factions locked

2. Miola - 34.8%

3. Balmus - 35.9%

4. Cephei Sector NX-U b2-3 - 37.9%

5. Medzisti - 39.2%

PP Stuff: lifted with unspoken consent from KrugerFive on the LS discord

Update 2-19 from KrugerFive on the LS Discord - Powerplay Cycle 68:

Cycle 68:

• Archer continues his expansion with back to back best weeks. Adding 11 new systems this cycle.

• A bad week for the imperials, with Torval going negative, 0 new additions for Emperor Arissa, and Patreus only 1 new system.

• Pretty subdued cycle overall, maybe still a hangover from the relics and enclave activity?

• Kaine is making a good run at taking P7 from Antal in the KrugerFive rankings. At the current pace Kaine may overtake in 2 cycles

• In the FDev leaderboard the real race right now is between Kaine and Archer for 6th place. Kaine took it 5 weeks back, but Archer is steadily coming back
