The recent pattern continued: the Federation (and also Torval) pushed expansions, their opponents opposed them. Hudson’s big effort was Dongkum. Puns are available, not going there. Winters lost out in Baal, Caspatsuria and Kwakwakwal (which sounds even better in Dutch.) Congratulations and thanks to our combat pilots and those of our allies.
On our side, esteemed Imperial Grandmother could not win LHS 184. Though Yuri Grom was heavily opposed attempting expansion to Mislika, he was able to beat Winters in a prep-race for Aeternitas.
There was drama for Li Yong Rui, who forced himself into a 3 system turmoil to avoid an unwanted loss-making expansion to Lalande 2504. Pranav Antal and others assisted in this effort, according to reports. This week, Chnemine looks like more of the same for LYR. Cui bono?
The best defence against this sort of calamity, whether by sabotage or the misplaced enthusiasm of randoms, is the vote. Aisling’s consolidation vote held up strongly at 81%. Slightly increased 5C hauling (160k tons) was a wasted endeavour, therefore. Voting is the easiest and most powerful way to help. If you are pledged to Aisling for 4 weeks or more, please earn or keep at least 100 merits so you can vote.
We are grateful also to the redoubtable haulers who completed the fortification of Aisling’s most profitable spheres. If you are looking for merits but lack much time to play, please check out #upps-departures on our Discord (invite link below), where we offer stress-free luxury fleet carrier travel to important but awkward locations.
An important war continues this week, fight for Cartel of Yaso Kondi in HIP 51748. Aisling’s Angels could still use your support with mission INF, bounties, cartographic data, and profitable trade in Butors. A winning week. The Princess salutes you. Have fun out there.
Objectives for the week ahead, Cycle 373 (until July 28th)

- Vote for Consolidation! Voting is the most important thing you can do for AD, so make sure to maintain rank 2! It only takes 100 merits and four weeks of pledge time. Here's where to vote in the UI. Early votes are the best kind of votes!
- Check the Trello for dynamic fortification targets! This is updated more frequently than the in-game menu. Please, ONLY fortify systems listed on the Trello. There are lots of top-priority systems left to help complete.
- Please do not prepare any systems this week. Spare media materials can be safely delivered to HIP 35209 or Na Chac Og. Aisling has no profitable expansion opportunities at this time.
- Combat merits: oppose Felicia Winters’ expansions to LHS 3317 and HIP 44811.
- Join the Discord for guides, mentoring, BGS, insight and combat targets! Remember: PP UI bad, Discord good. Powerplay is a community game, so connect with us.
