It’s #331sts for 7th April, 2026 or 3312! (33-Oh twelven) Squadron Briefing: BGS highlights No Updates this week! See Squad channel in the discord for changes Short PP Report: K5 Report pending - Cycle 79: Li Yong-Rui with the best week on all rankings with 11 new systems Antal in 2nd Archer and Torval negative for the week losing fortified systems Grom also losing systems this week. Did they make Delaine mad again? All imperials looked to have another bad week. Or combining with Grom struggling, some continued effort against ZYADA? The spot to keep an eye out is between Archer and Kaine. Kaine is about to take P7, especially if Archer has another bad week. https://www.k5elite.com/ Dev News: - https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/update-operations Galnet News : Galnet News | Elite Dangerous Community Site 7 may Dodec Station Enters Full Production Availability 30 april Guardian Artefact Research Initiative Concludes Discussion : WHATEVER THE HELL COMES TO LARKS MIND LOLS!

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
It’s #329st for 23eeth April, 2026 or 3312! (33-Oh twelven) - Bloom 4/23 Squadron Briefing: BGS highlights The Loose Screws are in 413 star systems, controlling 123! We expanded to nowhere out of IC 2602 SSector Zu-Y d103 (Bloominwind’s Folly) - and are expansion again from there States of interest - Outbreaks in Medzisti Boom - Qama Infrastructure Failure - Alexandrinus Public Holiday - Piscium Sector ZK-X B1-3 Election in Alexandrinus 2-second with - Day 3 (1:19PM Central) Several wars and an election we’re not worried about The only old system overheating is NLTT 2969, a mining stronghold for LYR. Short PP Report: K5 Report pending - Cycle 77: Yong-Rui tops both the charts this cycle with 9 new systems including a new stronghold and 3 fortifieds. Winters has a solid 2nd place adding 2 new strongholds. Looks like Archer is back with another solid cycle adding 9 new systems Tough week for the imperials!! that don't have blue hair. At the bottom, Emperor Arissa loses 6 systems this week Princess Aisling loses 2 strongholds Patreus AND Torval both with 0 gain I often ignore the midpack for brevity, but the tightest race right now is between Antal, Archer, and Kaine. All within one KrugerFive point of each other. Interestingly, Antal who generally doesn't appear to get much undermining may have gotten some attention the past few weeks, losing a fortified this week. https://www.k5elite.com/ Dev News: - Operations is postponed to June, that being said they gave us a bit of a preview: Two modes - mercenary and powerplay Multiple scenarios at launch - Counter Attack, Burning Rescue, Megaship Massacre Reclaim, Megaship Massacre Strike, Surface Rescue, Pirate Hunt ‘Operations Runner Ship’ is the Hub/Entry Point for Operations Seems like a lobby, does it count as a ‘vessel?’ Rewards - Credits, Mats, Merits (PP mode), Merc Coin Merc Coin can be used to purchase ship modules and engineering blueprints New Ship - Lynx Highliner (Heighliner?)
