PowerPlay Update: - (unashamedly copied from KrugerFive’s post in our Discord, 11/13)

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.

Dev News: 

• HIP 87621 Permit issued

• CG - HIP 87621 Exobiology Initiative begins

• Pilots can support this initiative by first signing up at Exogene Sciences in the HIP 87621 system, before gathering samples of the newly discovered flora at biological sites located on several bodies of the HIP 87621 system. These samples must then be sold to Vista Genomics at Exogene Sciences, via the representative located in the station concourse.

• Pilots who register at least 1 sample will receive the following rewards:

• - Artemis Photon Blue Suit Pack

• - Credits, depending on success tier achieved and individual contribution level.

• Pilots in the top 75% and above of contributions will receive a grade 5 Artemis suit, with Improved Battery Capacity, Night Vision, Increased Sprint Duration and Improved Jump Assist modifications.

• Careful, it’s hot out there

• Colonization main starport effects nerfed, then retracted, a bit. 

• Lots of people apparently (cynically) think it’s so FDev can sell more Dodec’s…?
