The Panther Clipper Launched 7/22/11. 

**Nice Rack** - New hauling CG to restock Trailblazer Megaships - Deliver Titanium, Aluminum (not Alumin-i-um ya limey fecks), CMM Composite and Steel to Starlace station in Minerva at 10x galactic average price. 

For participation you get a red metallic Brewer sticker, credits and engineered class 5 and class 6 cargo racks that are bigger on the inside. If you’re in the top 75% you will get an additional set of size 5 and 6 cargo racks. 

Class 5 will hold 43 instead of 32 Tonnes and Class 6s will hold 86 instead of 64.

The purpose is to maintain peace and order in the ‘Western’ Piscium Sector where a number of our respective colonies are located. There are rumors of aggression from an antient rival of the LSN (the Tartan Spartans), so we were asked to join the alliance and LSN has answered.

Squad Update: 

• It's been one week since anyone said on this weekly podcast that the BGS is broken. 

• However, we still have Harris Hospital in Miola which is why CMDR Bloomingwind is not with us on the podcast. Seems the previous administration left the hospital in a mess and Bloomingwind is very busy cleaning it up. He was last seen roaming the hallways mumbling something about control of the autopen. 

• We won back control of System LTT 10482.

• We have a war we want to win kicking off in Kaupatak.

• Currently LSN is in 248 star system, of which we control 70. Which is up two from our last report. We are also in control of 192 stations, 329 settlements and 95 installations.

• It's still broken but ! a miracle has happened in Miola. - After four attempts of winning wars that should have given us a much coveted asset, the game finally, correctly awarded HArris Hospital back to the Loose Screws. 

• We want to take back control of System LTT 10482. That war should be active by the time this podcast is published.

• What works in BGS - systems with a power before Power Play 2 - only bounties - systems without a power before Power Play 2 - work but some testing is prudent. - Trailblazer system without a power - BGS ticks are still an adventure
