Cycle 59: https://k5elite.com/ 

• Kaine on top with the strongest week, gaining 3 new strongholds and 8 systems overall

• Yong-Rui and Archer both with the most new systems this week with +9

• Impressive for LYR given the massive fight to hang on in the enclave. Hanging on to their 1 enclave system with well over 3 million points of undermining

• 
  

• Arissa and Aisling may be overly distracted in the enclave. Both losing systems this cycle.

• This is back to back losses for Princess Aisling!

PP Stuff:  updated 12/11, unashamedly copied from KrugerFive on the LS discord

Cycle 58: https://k5elite.com/ With the HIP 87621 enclave battle and CG in full swing, those benefiting and gaining the most throughout the galaxy this cycle are:

1. Grom

2. ALD

3. Kaine

Mahon, Torval, Aisling, and Patreus all went negative for the week. Delaine takes back P10 from Zemina Torval on the Nicey/KrugerFive boards! On the FDev leaderboard, Grom and Kaine both added +11 new systems for the top spot, with Grom taking the edge with +1 stronghold Emperor Arissa adds the most strongholds this cycle with +2 Lots of data being track in the battle for HIP 87621 by others. A couple places keeping some cool data around the enclave to look for if you haven't seen it yet:

• Ian Doncaster has probably the best data keeping track of the undermining and reinforcement details at:

https://heatmap.sotl.org.uk/powers/hip Really interesting to see who is getting hit the hardest and where. Really shows how hard LYR and Aisling have been getting hit. It will be interesting to watch it all as LYR is on the ropes, Archer getting knocked out, and the other powers starting to grow a foothold.

• Also keep a lookout for CMDR Gen. Zoff's daily posts of HIP 87621 status over at the Buur Pit powerplay discord channel. They have been posting a regular table of each systems state and status that is also interesting to watch.

Dev News (12/11): 

• Caspian Update 1

• Added a cap for engineering resistances to avoid values above 75% being achieved.

• Station weapons now deal plasma damage, improving effectiveness against target resistances.

• Enabled "Mk II Ablative Mirrored Surface Composite" armour at markets for the Caspian Explorer.

• Metallic paints are in the store for the Caspian, T11, Panther Clipper II

• Golden, Gold, Chromed, Chrome

• (The Panther Clipper II ones also paint over the black cargo section)

• Battle Rages On Across HIP 87621 Enclave

11 DEC 3311

Conflict continues across the 49-system enclave surrounding HIP 87621, with military forces from all major powers showing no signs of a ceasefire after two weeks of heavy fighting.

Ernesto Rios, a freelance war correspondent for Vox Galactica, reported:

“Although the Empire appears to be the dominant force across the enclave after this initial campaign, it's becoming clear that this conflict concerns far more than territorial influence. Radicoida unica has been confirmed by Vista Genomics as a wholly unique species, with early genetic indicators suggesting potential advancements once fully understood.”

“Given the scale of the mobilisation across the enclave, it is possible that certain details of its properties are known only to a select few within senior leadership circles.”

Discussion (12/11):

• The Caspian is a ‘tool’ ship

• On foot gameplay improvements and what’s still missing.

• “Compulsion Loops”

Squad Stuff:  Updated by Bloom 10/16 <- LOLZ

• The Pax Screwiana continues, a few wars and elections but good neighbors make good fences

• 349 systems, controlling 99!

• New Screwspace has a dozen and a half systems! Volt, Ranglon, Ty, Lark, me and Ciaran are working the space. If you’re interested in colonizing, it’s a good location.

PowerPlay Update: - unashamedly copied from KrugerFive’s post in our Discord, 12/4

• Kaine with the largest gains this week with +3 strongholds and +10 new systems

• Aisling after big losses last week regains most of the loss with +14 new systems, +3 forts, and +1 stronghold

• Aisling looks recovered and adapting from the 1 ton changes

• Li Yong-Rui also starting to make a comeback tying Antal for 3rd for the week

On the FDev leaderboard for number of systems:

• Aisling is back with the most systems gained with her +14

• Kaine in second with +10

• Torval losing -14 systems. Now losing ground to Archon Delaine

https://k5elite.com/

 Now that we have 3 cycles of post 1 ton trading and re-introduction of power data download, we have a good view of who was affected most by the changes. The ASCII table (sorry if you are on your phone) shows the average each power was seeing from cycles 41-52 (non Relic rush cycles) vs cycle 55 and after (after 1t):

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

| Power   | 41-52 Avg  | 55+  | Post 1t Difference |

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

| Delaine |        200 |  433 |                233 |

| Grom    |       1817 | 1833 |                 16 |

| Antal   |       1991 | 1804 |               -188 |

| Kaine   |       2307 | 2009 |               -298 |

| Winters |       2053 | 1342 |               -711 |

| Patreus |        -97 | -892 |               -795 |

| Archer  |       2017 | 1117 |               -900 |

| ALD     |       1499 |  387 |              -1112 |

| Mahon   |       1816 |  656 |              -1160 |

| Torval  |       2096 | -502 |              -2598 |

| Aisling |       4555 |  627 |              -3928 |

| LYR     |       6435 |   16 |              -6420 |

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

You can see LYR took a massive fall, along with Aisling and Torval. Basically no effect on Delaine, which seems obvious in retrospect. The real winners at have been Grom, Antal, Kaine, and Winters who dropped some, but kept most of their mid-range output to be productive in these first 3 cycles. With some trading for powerplay back in the picture it, Aisling/LYR adapting, and now a powerplay CG and war for the enclave bubble, things are interesting again.

Cycle 54:

Soontil relics hit 600t supply this cycle and the powers jumped on to boom for huge gains. Last relics rush was 14 cycles ago.

The power of princess Aisling showed with the relics rush. +138 new systems, +8 new fortifieds.

The other powers to maximize this were Yong-Rui (+73 systems), Antal (+70), and Mahon (+60)

Delaine putting up a fight and keeping Torval behind for now (-3 systems difference)

This relic boom creates a nice battle in the FDev board between Archer, Antal, and Kaine for Archer's P6. 

Archer 1131 systems

Kaine 1100 systems

Antal 1089 systems

1t trading is gone, trade is next to useless for control points, and relics are back down (but still at a healthy 120t). Next week is going to be interesting.

PowerPlay Update: - (unashamedly copied from KrugerFive’s post in our Discord, 10/30)

Cycle 52: Here's to one year of powerplay 2.0 complete! Cheers! 

• Princess Aisling with 3 strongholds lost! First week she's went negative since at least cycle 22

• Li Yong-Rui wins across all the boards this week with +39 new systems, including 6 new fortifieds, and 1 stronghold.

• Possible the most gained in pp2.0

• Kaine upgrades 5 systems to strongholds with the most this week, and +20 systems overall

• Delaine hit with a loss of -4 system

• Torval passes Delaine for P10 in the Nicey/KrugerFive boards

• She is in sight of Delaine for P10 in the FDev boards as well, possibly passing in a 2-3 weeks

All the powers are starting to show pretty steady trends and the FDev leaderboard is getting pretty close to being sorted. The Nicey/KrugerFive oneThen after that may be a really long wait. 14 and 24 cycles are a pretty ls are pretty much sorted out now. If everyone keeps playing the same for the FDev leaderboard my passing predictions are:

• Torval passes Delaine in 3 cycles

• Emperor Arissa passes Mahon in 14 cycles

• Kaine passes Archer in 24 cycles

ong time as it is. I hope this stuff around HIP 87621 shakes up powerplay some. (edited)

Galnet Update: https://community.elitedangerous.com/ (updated 10/23)

• Megaship Movements Spark HIP 87621 Speculation

• Independent observers have reported unusual activity in systems surrounding HIP 87621, intensifying rumours of covert operations in the region.

• Multiple reports indicate that megaships have been spotted operating near the permit-locked system over the past week. Though no Power has formally acknowledged involvement, analysts believe this early mobilisation suggests a push for influence around HIP 87621.

CG NOTE “Merit-palooza”: 

• The large merit awards for mining within the CG system are no longer available, due to revoking the ‘God-Handed’ powerplay state. The only power within 20-30ly is Grom (as it always was), so the ‘normal’ mechanic for getting mining merits there doesn’t work now.

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.

• Strategic Order Placed with Brewer Corporation - CG with stickers for all, and 1 size 5 non-Euclidican cargo rack for the 75%ers.

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

• Looking at the "points per cycle" chart at www.k5elite.com We may be heading to some stagnation in the leaderboards soon if something doesn't change.

• In the Nicey & KrugerFive boards: once LYR takes P2 and Torval takes P10 from Delaine, if trends continue, it could be a long time before there are any other changes

• In the FDev board:Emperor Arissa will pass Mahon for P2 at some point (months out?) and Kaine takes P7, same will occur
