Well, beta testing is on hold due to some errors in TCE. So I went into live and took a look around. It is not pretty. Bad actually.
Overall, BCats can't gain inf really because of War in Balath'sine. BCats and the faction BCats are at war with, Balath'sine Netcoms, are both at 1.0 %. Meaning there's no way to change inf, meaning stuck in War forever. Or, for 28 days, then maybe BCats will go into 'retreat' from Balath'sine, which would be ok. Problem is, in the mean time, BCats can't gain inf anywhere else (could bounty hunt, and turn in vouchers in other systems, but that is going to be like fighting a large forest fire by urinating on it.).
The point is BCats can't gain inf anywhere else now, which is likely why BCats inf is falling everywhere else, and will continue the free fall.
In Baltha'sine, BCats at 1.0, at War with B Netcom at 1.0. Pretty screwed here with inability to gain inf.
In Priva, BCats at 46.6, with PEG at 32.8.
In Raurugba, BCats at 24.6, and Natural Oxossi at 24.3. No war due to current war in Balth.
In Yota, BCats at 32, with PEG at 36.9. No War/losses there due to war in Balth.
In LTT 2863, Bcats at 5.5. Don't care about this system anyway, other than changes there impacting states elsewhere.
HR 2283, BCats at 10.7. Gave up on this system due to Fed rep grinders.
I'm not sure how to get out of this even if there were enough people to try, which there isn't. Bad times.
*edit:
folks in BGS thread telling me you can still gain inf in War if inf of both at 1. I guess my info is outdated. Before I even start, Mouse, are you interested in maintaining BCats with me (obviously, RL always wins)? I don't want to take over the galaxy, just maintain what BCats have, maybe even do a little pruning. Is anyone else interested in BCats? If not, that's cool, I'll find other stuff to do.
