In a system where we were suppressing an unattractive expansion the faction's influence yesterday was under 53%, with one civil war in the system. The expansion seemed poised to fail, since (we thought) it should have been impossible for the expanding faction to reach 75% again within a single day. That's a whopping 22% increase.
But this morning, the expansion has succeeded; the civil war is still ongoing; and those factions who aren't fighting have seen negligible changes in influence. The expanding faction has seen a net decrease of .1% from yesterday.
The thing is, in order for the faction to have expanded it had to add about 22% influence in one tick. Although I know that gain would have evaporated when they expanded I can't see how they could have had an increase of that size when they were already over 50%.
Have I misunderstood the influence caps? I thought the most they could increase in a single day would be around 9.3%.
