Greetings Commanders,
In order to work out who wins the preparation we look at all systems that are in the afforded top 10 lists of the powers.
Even if someone has done more preparation than anyone else if they can’t stump up the cash the cant prepare and they don’t count.
We then look at systems within exploitation radii of each other we take the most prepared systems and eliminate the others as Control systems cannot be contested and it is easier to eliminate them at this early stage.
This happened with the following systems:
LFT 37 (Sucessful) and Kappa Phoenicis (failed)
Kappa Fornacis (Sucessful) and Autahenetsi (failed)
Caspatsuria (Sucessful) and Grovichun(failed)
Kaliki (Sucessful) and Mandh(failed)
Kamocan(Sucessful) and Lakluita(failed)
Mendindui(Sucessful) and Kaukamine(failed)
What about powers who properly prepared systems and could afford them, but didn't see them going into expansion at the start of the new cycle? Aisling Duval was supposed to be able to expand to Cartoi, Karsuki Ti, and Grovichun this week, but Grovichun didn't become available, despite having sufficient CC for all three and having them in the top 3.
No - we're still investigating.

Can you please clarify "'can't stump up the cash" means? I don't understand why Caspatsuria and Grovichun were competing, but I lost a lot of time and money and merits and a lot of angry Angels who want a clear answer, and I get to spin it to them.
And if Grovichun was number 3 on Aisling's prep list, does that mean we completely wasted our time on it?
what about the Rating Issue?
With Torval i should have unlocked the bonus where i get a 5% bonus voucher for trades in controlled/exploited systems...
but so far i havnt seen it.
Also, while I got your ear, Michael, please put Frogs back in, thanks in advance.
Oh nice one... Senator Patreus will be most pleased
Also being looked into.

Hi Michael, when/how does this take effect please? Just checked and integrity repair costs the same now as when I logged off a few hours ago (14:00 UK ish)
"As part of our ongoing tuning, we have made another reduction to the costs of integrity repairs."
Cheers.
