Cheers! Princess Aisling with 3 strongholds lost! First week she's went negative since at least cycle 22Li 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 pp2.0Kaine upgrades 5 systems to strongholds with the most this week, and +20 systems overallDelaine hit with a loss of -4 systemTorval passes Delaine for P10 in the Nicey/KrugerFive boardsShe is in sight of Delaine for P10 in the FDev boards as well, possibly passing in a 2-3 weeksAll 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 cyclesEmperor Arissa passes Mahon in 14 cyclesKaine passes Archer in 24 cyclesong time as it is. I hope this stuff around HIP 87621 shakes up powerplay some.

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.Will it come back?...Dev News: New paint job - “ https://www.elitedangerous.com/store/catalog/promoHalloween paint jobsSpectrix for all the new ships - looks like monster teeth on the ships’ backsMalevolent Horror for AnacondaVarious ‘wisps’ (haunt, poltergeist, shade, yurei, revenant, phantasm, horror)Basically pumpkin faces of various sizes for the old shipsOn-foot pumpkin outfitsOn-foot skeleton outfitsOn-foot ‘slimed’ outfitsPumpkin ship decal

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. Kruger 5’s Power Rankings - https://k5elite.com/ Niceygy’s Power Points - https://elite.niceygy.net/powerpointsFind out more in the LSN-powerplay-hub forum channel.Galnet Update: https://community.elitedangerous.com/Type-11 Prospector Declared a TriumphStrategic 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 2Introduced new functionality to prevent 'claim sniping'.
