Merc Engineering / Merc Modules telegraphing improvements: Improved telegraphing within Outfitting. Improved telegraphing within the Ships Internal Panel. Bug Fixes: Resolved an issue where the Operations Rewards screen could appear empty for some players, despite successfully distributing rewards.

All losing fortifieds with Torval not gaining any new systems, Archer and Winters both losing systems Looks like Winters is joining Archer as an undermining target, have the imperials expanded their attacks against the federation? https://www.k5elite.com/ Dev News: Anything to the rumor that NPCs will fly ‘up to the T-11’ in new ships with the update?

Short PP Report: Cycle 84: What a week of fortification and acquisition! You would think there was a relics rush Mahon is hot! #1 for the cycle with 18 news systems but gaining 5 new strongholds and 2 new fortifieds! LYR posted the most new systems this week with 20 Grom and Antal right there with solid weeks as well The dark horse of the week is Delaine. Hidden down in the numbers with only 3 new systems overall, but adds 4 new strongholds and 2 new fortifieds. Strong fortification showing Looks like we are getting some Alpha Centauri fallout: Aisling over extends and gains NO systems. Someone is spending too much time in one place and others are taking advantage Archer with the worst week. Gaining only 2 systems but losing 2 fortifieds Torval with an absolute 0.
