Now that we have 3 cycles of post 1 ton trading and re-introduction of power data download, we have a good view of who was affected most by the changes. The ASCII table (sorry if you are on your phone) shows the average each power was seeing from cycles 41-52 (non Relic rush cycles) vs cycle 55 and after (after 1t):

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

| Power | 41-52 Avg | 55+ | Post 1t Difference |

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

| Delaine | 200 | 433 | 233 |

| Grom | 1817 | 1833 | 16 |

| Antal | 1991 | 1804 | -188 |

| Kaine | 2307 | 2009 | -298 |

| Winters | 2053 | 1342 | -711 |

| Patreus | -97 | -892 | -795 |

| Archer | 2017 | 1117 | -900 |

| ALD | 1499 | 387 | -1112 |

| Mahon | 1816 | 656 | -1160 |

| Torval | 2096 | -502 | -2598 |

| Aisling | 4555 | 627 | -3928 |

| LYR | 6435 | 16 | -6420 |

+---------+------------+------+--------------------+

You can see LYR took a massive fall, along with Aisling and Torval. Basically no effect on Delaine, which seems obvious in retrospect. The real winners at have been Grom, Antal, Kaine, and Winters who dropped some, but kept most of their mid-range output to be productive in these first 3 cycles. With some trading for powerplay back in the picture it, Aisling/LYR adapting, and now a powerplay CG and war for the enclave bubble, things are interesting again.
