A Power Play picture (or 2) is worth a thousands words

Updated for the current cycle

Cadoc has been doing some excellent analysis of the Power Play Cycles. Cadocs Powerplay Activity Analysis - Cycle #6

I was looking at the map and I thought what you can see is also very telling, but completely unscientific.
This is not on the expansion view, so you can not see preparations and expansions, just fortification and undermining.

I thought it told a good story of player numbers and contributions in each of the factions with less than 3 days of this cycle left.

If you are new to Power Play, white is incomplete, red is undermined, yellow is fortified.

Doesn't surprise me. If there was some consequence to Powerplay, say, by being able to name stations, or actually build new stations, or build capital ships that then roam the galaxy and are able to assist at expansion and defense instead of just being static assets...

FD, are you reading this?

Nicely done. Repped.

It does indeed tell the story.

At a glance, what I take away is:

Pranav Antal: Nobody is in this faction.
Archon Delaine: In trouble, somewhat active.
Zemina Torval: Doing ok, somewhat active.
Li Wong-Rui: Doing well, very active.
Zachary Hudson: Doing ok, very active.
Denton Praetus: Doing ok, somewhat active.
Felicia Winters: Doing ok, very active.
A Lavingy Duval: Doing very well, most active faction. (also following special rules)
Edmund Mahon: Doing ok, active.
Ailsing Duval: Doing very well, active.

Empire holds 179 systems (4 leaders)
Federation holds 93 systems (2 leaders)

Thanks for sharing this. Would be great if you could do it regularly. Good job Sir!

It is time to go to the other side of the galaxy and colonize the new world. Everyone leave the Empire and Federation.

Repped. A picture really is better than a page of stats. Shows the size as well as current status. Not tempting me back just yet though...

Less than 24 hours to the next cycle.
Heres how the 4 little powers look:

You can see fortification is the exception not the rule with these guys.
The increase to fortification triggers will hurt them even more.

And the 6 big powers:

Lots of fortification going on here, this is the cause of the fortification increases, specifically what ALD and Aisling have been doing.
