Squad Update:  (Updated by Bloom 10/2)

• BGS might be waking up - Kruger 5 posted something from Sirius Gov discord where Phil from FDev Dropped a message that they think they’ve unstuck things. We shall see.

• Screwspace 

• 315 systems, controlling 78

• 9 systems in Boom, 4 in Investment some paired with civil liberty or Unrest

• 9 conflicts have gone live, only HIP 76575 still locked

• Musca Dark region UE-W a3-0 - Deep Skrew One is online! Uraniborg, Volt and some others have been pushing our influence (thanks!) we’re less than 4% away 

from a control war!

PowerPlay Update: - 

Cycle 49

Cycle 49:

• Archer with the most new systems with +17

• Li Yong-Rui with the strongest week again, now for 4 cycles in a row

• Yong-Rui with the most new strongholds and fortifieds

• Yong-Rui may overtake Emperor Arissa for P2 in the next couple cycles in the Nicey / KrugerFive boards

• Kaine and Antal still battling for FDev's P7

• 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
