In a winning Powerplay week, Aisling’s haulers excelled themselves and fortified our profitable spheres beyond recent thresholds. Gally Bese (which does have a very distant L pad starport constructed in a CG, though the system map is still not updated) was finished, as were the seldom visited LHS 4031, Kauruku and Runo. Many thanks to you all.
A big week also for Aisling’s combat pilots. The major Federal effort was Dongkum. Felicia Winters pushed hard. Billions were spent on expansion materials and by bringing in the mercs from PLAG again. For a couple of hours an update kept us all sweating for the result. Felicia was denied the win, narrowly, by a 193k merit bomb dropped by pilots from across ZYADA in the final hour.
We also frustrated Winters’ second expansion effort in Panorua and denied Hudson in Caspatsuria. However the Feds did beat off Granny Torval’s latest bid for Pollux. Everybody else consolidated. Big picture: few powers have viable expansion options, Hudson is making slow progress in his efforts to retake his former domains. His only successes since the Hudgement Day operation that lost him 41 spheres (concluded cycle 365) have been Nurundere (c370) and Allowini (c375).
Our consolidation vote was steady and finished at 82%, blocking slightly increased 5C hauling activity. We have no profitable expansion opportunities at present and rely on your votes against the sabotage effort. As ever: voting is the easiest and most powerful way to help. Please earn or keep at least 100 merits so you can vote next week. We could still use your help in some protracted BGS conflicts, against some determined opposition. The Princess is most grateful for your efforts, have fun out there in the week ahead.
Objectives for the week ahead, Cycle 380 (until September 15th)

Objectives for the week ahead, Cycle 380 (until September 15th)
- 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.
- Combat merits: oppose Zachary Hudson’s expansion to Decima.
- 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.
