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.

    Episode 330 - The ZP Influencer Team

    It’s #330rd for 30th April, 2026 or 3312! (33-Oh twelven)  Squadron Briefing:   BGS highlights The Loose Screws are in 413 star systems, controlling 123! Short PP Report:  K5 Report pending - Cycle 78: Big winner for this cycle is Emperor Arissa. Not a lot of new systems, but 3 new strongholds and 2 new fortifieds gave her a great week. Antal in second, but really close behind are Kaine, Winters, and Princess Aisling Kaine and Winters tied for the best cycle on the FDev charts. 9 new systems for both, AND both with 1 new stronghold and 2 new fortifieds. Archer went negative for the cycle losing 2 fortifieds. Torval and Patreus both -1 for total systems this week. After 24 cycles since the end of 1 ton trading, the biggest loser (or the biggest cheat depending on how you look at it) is Zemina Torval. During the era of 1 ton trading, Zemina made solid, steady, progress in the number of systems. However, when 1 ton was fixed (in cycle 54), while most other powers adapted and recovered, Zemina has only managed to add 12 new system since then. https://www.k5elite.com/ Dev News: - https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/update-operations Galnet News: Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site   4/28 - Zorgon Peterson Presents Lynx Highliner 4/28 - Criminal Attacks Trigger Evacuation Effort in Lhou Mans 4/30 - Guardian Artefact Research Initiative Concludes Discussion : Inside the board room of a zero arx ship Community Corner :    Distant Worlds 3 waypoint is Phrua Flyuae ZE-A e7on 4/19 Stellar Screen Shots happened  Store Sale - Expressway Paint Jobs
