Ahoy Crew!
Due to a strike by Pegasi Sentinel staff and journalists, this report will be published in a shortened version. We apologize to our fellow readers for the inconvenience and hope to resume service as soon as possible.
We didn't have time to give further details in the last Cycle 31 report, but here we confirm that Archon Delaine delegates from the various groups also participated in the high-level discussions that the representatives of all the Powers had in the past weeks in relation to the undermining activity that affected, among others, our HIP 97950. The dimension and continuity of these attacks (i.e. like this Cycle for the Sol system, where around 1.7m CPs have been dropped 36hrs before Cycle tick, as well as in Alpha Centauri) have in fact raised some concerns among the Powers, as they found themselves having to manage not only a "massive" response in terms of resources (counter undermining, reinforcements and restoration of control in some systems), but also the risk that fragile "political" relationships and/or alliances could be affected.
BREAKING NEWS: Last minute update from FDEVs X account post "We have been closely monitoring the Powerplay situation in Sol and a number of other affected systems. We are aware of a recent increase in undermining scores impacting the powerplay status of those systems, and have taken action to address the situation. To prevent further impact, we have temporarily disabled system score and merit gain from the on foot transfer power data activity until a permanent fix is in place. On the next Thursday maintenance (19th June), we will return the systems to their appropriate state. Please note that the galaxy map panel for the affected systems will also return to normal at this time."
Beta-3 Tucani CG
Anyway, coming back to the game related topics, after the release of Trailblazers 3.3 and the conclusion of the (double) CG of the Alliance there has been a new Combat CG announced (literally whilst we are posting this report) today to be held in Beta-3 Tucani and lasting for the next two weeks. Imperial forces are targeting Archon Delaine’s flaghip, the “Mictlan”, as an act of retribution against the King of Pirates. Rewards are pretty interesting, with just a basic (one combat bond) contribution CMDRs will receive 1x 2B/3A seeker missile racks with double-engineering (high-capacity and sturdy mount) with [
That’s going to be a very useful tool in the hands of pirates and robbers! YARRR!!! So we made so many hypotheses about what kind of [
The Numbers
Powerplay numbers for the Cycle 32 have been overall good on the gains side, with three Powers achieving double digit acquisitions (the two Duval ladies, +16 and +12 respectively, and the techno-nerd Yong-Rui, +12):
- A.Duval +16
- A.L. Duval +12
- Yong-Rui +12
- Winters +8
- Antal +7
- Kaine +6
- Torval +5
- Delaine +4
- Mahon +4
- Archer +2
- Grom +2
- Patreus +1
The King of Pirates
Despite the Pegasi Sentinel correspondents' strike, we've gathered some data and information on the progress of the Cycle in the Delaine's territories. We have not been very “prolific” in terms of acquisitions, as we have closed at +4, a few of them being considered as strategic ones. We are holding back on a few others in our backlog that are in the process of being completed and will follow in the priorities of the next cycles (taking in account some slowdown due to the CG).
Our brave and steady reinforcers have (again) done a great job on the defensive side. Shoring up the frontlines is essential to be able to extend Archon's territories without this expansion becoming a weakness in the long run. Some of the enemies’ undermining targets have also been fully countered, i.e. like the fortified HIP 95772, a small industrial system controlled by the Wolves of Jonai, hit by 55k CPs undermining and “turtled” with >215k CPs of reinforcements one day before the Cycle tick.
Also Albardhas and Munfayl (two systems where we continue to see enemy activity), together with the controlled LP 931-40, Pegasi Sector GW-W d1-111, Atins and Wolf 903 got a 100-200k CPs range of support (well done!). A bunch of exploited systems have been upgraded to fortified (+4) and we did also add a new stronghold; bottom line this required around 1.6m CPs… the Archon is pleased to see that some of the main contributors are on the Cycle leaderboard! Last but not least, we did not miss what happened in Ngati and 241 G. Aquarii (both suffering some minor undermining activity) so these will be moved to the next Cycle 33 priorities.
Lalande 45292, an industrial refinery system controlled by Thethys Empire Crew (one of the first rebel imperial corporations and which after some years for confrontation decided to support the King of Pirates’ cause), was the only one contested (against the bald Antal) and it was not a big source big fun for the Crew as it went straight forward with the blessing of the God of PCZs. We are aware that some of our scallywags experienced issues in joining PCZs even using VPNs… frankly this is one of the most annoying bugs for combat ethos Powers (like Archon Delaine).
According to the information collected from the Raiders of Tortuga, our undermining ops have been conducted under a strictly reserved protocol. enemy targets have been hit: if any of the enemies want to relax, the only thing they can do is to move away from us. Otherwise there is no escape, sooner or later, we will come after them.
For who's looking to accomplish some powerplay-related activities away from the CG, let’s list here some of the reinforcement targets for the next Cycle 33: Lalande 45292, HIP 106601, Iboraga and Lao Zi (new acquisitions), as well as the exploited 241 G. Aquarii, Ngati and HIP 112648.
Active acquisitions and undermining targets will be flagged on next posts here and/or aired by Tortuga Radio Frequencies transmissions.
FOR THE ARCHON!!!
