How can everyone in one system gain influence?

[Jmanis]

Just curious... I've seen it a couple times now but:

Everyone's "gained" influence... there's no engineers or anything in this system, so no weirdness with that. So how's it possible for all factions to gain influence after a tick?

I never trust those arrows. I ogten see tbese say a faction is going up, yet it goes down on the tick. And vice versa.

Balancing pass glitch is what I consider it.

My thinking is there is a random 0.1% deviation on influence every so often and the result can be that when the balancing pass goes across the lost 0.1% influence gets redistributed and everybody gains.

Its an annoying common occurrence in low-traffic systems where the influence doesn't shift much.

I never trust (or even bothering looking at the arrows any more)

Also, where's the other 3%?

Also, where's the other 3%?

So, it's actually:
40.1
21.5
14.7
14.7
8.9
= 99.9%

Retreat of a faction can cause this from what we've seen, just as the entry of another faction can cause the existing factions to all lose influence.
