No chance I may be old but I know for a fact Noast is right the fortification trigger has dropped and the undermining trigger has increased on all systems! very strange???[down]
UM triggers increase for all systems when using consolidation. From the CSV files it looks like Archon consolidated ~407 CC, which gives him a 40% increase in all undermining triggers.
I didn't go through and check ALL of Archon's systems for their fortification triggers, I just checked a few, and they all match the fort triggers from cycle 89 (the newest CSV file), which makes it impossible for ALL of his systems' fort triggers to have dropped. Ergo the data used to make the claim is incorrect.
Examples:
10 Kappa Pegasi. Cycle 88: 6,204. Cycle 89: 6,204. Cycle 90: 6,204
Bireti. Cycle 88: 5,112. Cycle 89: 5,112. Cycle 90: 5,112
Some fort triggers may have decreased between 89 and 90, but it certainly wasn't all of them.
Edit:
Seems I've made some mistakes in my internal comparisons - was comparing cycle 89 to cycle 89, which obviously won't show a trigger change. However, the cycle 89 to 90 comparison is still correct - the systems I checked didn't have any fort trigger changes.
