Elite BGS is broken by Fleet Carriers Update!

For some reason, I did not find a section of bugs and reports on the forum, because I will write here:

After updating the Elite on June 9, you made some changes to the BGS that will have devastating effects in the very near future.
Starting from June 9, EVERY DAY, ~ 4-10% of the influence due to other fractions in the system is added to the fractions that are in the ruling position. Already now in many (more precisely, ALL) systems, the influence of the ruling factions has risen to 80-95% (which was never achieved by the actions of the players), and the influence of other factions has fallen to 0% and this situation is exacerbated with each tick. The addition of influence is the greater the higher the fraction was at the time the update was applied. This influence is added every day even where there is no influence of players (with zero traffic)!

Examples with violation of the mechanism of influence can be viewed on a number of systems:
The capital of our minor fraction is https://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystem/17929/
The capital of our Power is Yuri Grom - https://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystem/1206/
The capital of our esteemed enemies on the PP (Zachary Hudson) - https://inara.cz/galaxy-starsystem/13001/

A similar EVERYDAY increase in influence from FDev threatens that in a week the BGS, which many players have developed over 4 years, will turn into complete ruins. This can lead to the early departure of many players from the Elite and the transition to competing games in the genre, since all works will be destroyed by your update bug - it is impossible to play with such BGS mechanics.

I demand a solution to this global problem - either the rollback of all BGS data to the state on June 8 and the revision of this mechanism of influence or any other changes.

Do something!

I think that everyone who cares for BGS in this game will subscribe to this post.

Yes, a lot of hard work and in some cases many years of time is being stomped on, (myself included).
However for what it is worth, in my opinion, demanding is not the way to approach FDev to correct this.
I agree, this needs to be addressed, but this is not the way to go about getting results.
 
Maybe, the more I think of it the more sense this change makes. While there is certainly something off, the change it brought also solved a number of problems in the BGS, namely an overabundance of systems filled to the brim, the difficulty of retreating factions, the irrelevance of the native/alien distinction and a dominance of big faction empires. If even part of this stays the BGS will be a lot less defined by careful planning which is in itself not necessarily a bad thing. The only problem I see is that factions at the lower end of the influence are too weak. Locking systems which was done a lot, might have ended and I can't help but see this as a good thing.
 
The Russians have a wonderful saying - wanted the best, it turned out as always (хотели как лучше, получилось как всегда)
She fully describes the culture of updates programming by Fdev.
If one of them reads this topic - DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING in the BGS if the update is not aimed at him initially!
 
Just some pointers about your English though (hope you don't mind).

Its factions, not fractions. Fractions are дробь. Factions are фракция. Ignore Google/multitran when it tells you that фракция is fraction. While technically correct, its the wrong translation here.

Demand is the wrong word to use here. Its too strong. Yes требование can be translated as demand, but its highly impolite. What you should use request.
