Squad Update: (Updated by Bloom 10/2)
BGS might be waking up - Kruger 5 posted something from Sirius Gov discord where Phil from FDev Dropped a message that they think they’ve unstuck things. We shall see.

PowerPlay Update: -
Cycle 49
Cycle 49:
Archer with the most new systems with +17
Li Yong-Rui with the strongest week again, now for 4 cycles in a row
Yong-Rui with the most new strongholds and fortifieds
Yong-Rui may overtake Emperor Arissa for P2 in the next couple cycles in the Nicey / KrugerFive boards
Kaine and Antal still battling for FDev's P7
Looking at the "points per cycle" chart at www.k5elite.com We may be heading to some stagnation in the leaderboards soon if something doesn't change.
In the Nicey & KrugerFive boards: once LYR takes P2 and Torval takes P10 from Delaine, if trends continue, it could be a long time before there are any other changes
In the FDev board:Emperor Arissa will pass Mahon for P2 at some point (months out?) and Kaine takes P7, same will occur
