Cycle summary:
We didn't win our expansions. Prime Minister Mahon's crash diet seems to have been a success; he's looking much slimmer now. A great number of Federal pilots assisted him in this effort, to the tune of roughly 1.5 million merits, and we thank them for their efforts. We at Winters were pleased to see a chance to regain some contested CC and become default positive again after our little trim a few weeks ago, but it seems that the Powerplay algorithms had other plans for us. For now, we continue to play the game we have, not the game we were sold, and I have a chance to dig out an old motivational poster. We start with expansions to LHS 6197 and Col 285 Sector UE-G c11-11, so get hauling! Granny Torval is making an attempt to contest us with Gran, so if you like to shoot things please point your guns in that direction.
In other news:
There's a Torval CG this week. If you've been dreaming about a size 1 long range mining laser, your time has finally come! Also, please seek help. Update 8 will get here when it gets here, don't make me turn this ship around!
