New Kinetic Capsule recipes have been added to the game!
43x L3+ Resonator → 20x L5 Resonator
45x L5+ Resonator → 20x L7 Resonator
26x L6+ Resonator → 50x L4 Resonator
28x L8+ Resonator → 50x L6 Resonator
43x L3+ XMP Burster → 20x L5 XMP Burster
45x L5+ XMP Burster → 20x L7 XMP Burster
1x ITO EN (-) + 24x L1+ Resonator → 1x ITO EN (+)
1x ITO EN (+) + 24x L1+ XMP Burster → 1x ITO EN (-)
These programs were already introduced, but they're worth reminding:
5x L8+ Resonator → 40x L1 Resonator
40x L4+ Resonator → 8x L8 Resonator
Many thanks to @RES_1upuk4p4 for the report!

Niantic has posted a news post where they formalized the newly introduced features: the Dual Core badge and the new Kinetic Capsule programs.
Additionally, the Ingress team announced that soon the amount of AP gained from recharging a Portal will become proportional to the quantity of XM recharged.
Finally, the team acknowledged an issue with the level of output items not being shown correctly in the Kinetic Capsule carousel. This will be fixed in the next update.

Organizing a field or starburst is always fun and exciting, but for these Agents, organizing something for a beloved member of their community has been, in their own words, "an absolute privilege".
This starburst was created in honour of Kuang, Agent @hydrotherion.
With him in mind, we decided to pick anchors important to him, and bring together people from both factions to collaborate and celebrate his life. As a true testament to the spirit of fun and care Kuang brought to ingress, members of both factions spent days in the lead up letting things decay and clearing the playing field.
The competition was set aside as Antwerp saw the starburst slowly begin to grow. With three green quarters and a blue one, the burst grew out then agents gathered back to the center to share laughter and the love for the game.
From the staff of IUENG, congratulations to all contributing players for their sharing your love for the game, each other and, most importantly, for your beloved friend Kuang.

In one week, the MZFPK Global Anomaly will take place. Precisely on March 18th from 0:00 to 23:59 local time. Here is everything you need to know about the event!
Agents will receive a set of six operations on their scanner upon entering it after the event starts.
These events are called the HexQuest.
The tasks will be:
- Trek 6 km
- Complete 60 hacks
- Deploy 60 Resonators
- Deploy 16 Mods
- Earn 60 Glyph Points
- Destroy 24 Resonators
Agents completing all six operations by 23:59 local time will earn the MZFPK Anomaly medal (see picture)!
The faction with the highest number of Agents completing all six challenges will win the event and decide the destination of Roland Jarvis, in this new reboot of the game's lore, to meet Debra Bogdanovich: if the Enlightened win, the researcher will go to Berlin, if the Resistance wins, he'll go to Zurich.

Niantic has stated to be aware that the Agent Ops button and the HexQuest tasks were activated for all agents globally at the same time, but chose to not interfere with the event.
This means that the HexQuest can be completed and the MZFPK Anomaly Badge can be obtained by all Agents even if it's not March 18th for them yet.
No info was given on the end of the event but, to make sure to be safe, IUENG still advises to complete your quests by 23:59 of March 18th local time.

A personal note:
Our amazing Agent Ishira, also known for her Swagcapsule, the Glyph Journal and her work as an investigator and as our chat moderator, recently rescued 4 puppies that were abandoned on the side of a highway. While all the costs for deworming, vaccination shots and other bet bills have already been covered, 2 of the puppies need additional surgery ("umbilical hernia repairs") which hasn't been covered yet.
Agent @InvestigateXM is auctioning off character badges at @IngressAuctions with the proceeds going towards the surgery! Take a look at the channel and see if a badge catches your eye. At the time of writing this, $190 of the needed $800 have already been covered.
If you'd like to contribute to the surgery seperately, you can donate directly via the PayPal Pool below.

Niantic has restored the Camp Navarro portals that were removed a while ago!
Thia said on the forum that various protections have been applied to them to prevent a similar situation in the future and that she tried her best to restore Portal Keys to the inventory of affected agents, however there may be some gaps.
Due to this, Thia has generated passcodes that contain Portal Keys for the portals that can be redeemed twice per agent until the end of April! If you have been impacted and haven't gotten your Keys back yet or if you just want to have these special keys, follow the link below to the list of passcodes on the forum.

At GDC 2023, the Game Developers Conference which took place last week in San Francisco, CA, USA, Niantic hosted a panel dedicated to Ingress.
A new exciting feature, which is planned to be released this summer, was announced at the event: Overclock!
Overclock is a new way to hack an Ingress Portal using AR, leveraging Lightship's VPS (Visual Positioning System) which was introduced to the Niantic Lightship platform a while back with the help of the data collected by Agents with Portal Scans!
An Overclock hack is performed by deploying a Glyph Terminal and transcribing the 3D glyphs which will be presented to you into 2D glyphs before time runs out.
The aim of this feature is to "close the loop" around VPS, showing Ingress Players what their Portal Scans are useful for, but also to finally be able to test the AR positioning in-game so that Ingress Developers will be able to experiment with it and make this new feature fun.
Hence, this feature will only be available on VPS-enabled Portals, but fret not! If a Portal nearby isn't VPS-enabled, you will be able to scan it several times to enable VPS and to unlock Overclock. After enough scans have been collected and Niantic has processed them, Overclock will become available. If you want to prepare for this new feature, you should start scanning portals during various times of the day to ensure that VPS will be enabled in time!
We are eager to hear and see more about this feature but, for now, we are going to share with you the talk given by Michael Romero (Agent micromero), Engineering Director for Ingress, where he explains the basics of this new feature.

Niantic has released the rules for the Echo Anomalies, which will be held on April 22nd, May 20th and June 17th 2023!
Each Primary site is worth 600 points total, while every Satellite site is worth 200. Both these total are evenly split between Battle Beacons and Flash Shards Challenges.
Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons
🔸 7 Battle Beacon Waves in 3 hours, one starting every 25 minutes.
🔸Each Battle Beacon is worth 2+3+4 = 9 points based on checkpoints won.
🔸Battle Category does not influence the score.
🔸Volatile Battle Beacons are worth 3x the base points.
The maximum score for each Faction from any of the Beacon Battle Waves during the Anomaly Period will be their raw score. The 100 or 300 points will be split proportionally to the raw score.
Anomaly Zone Flash Shards
🔸20 Shards in batches of 4 and 4 Target Portals in batches of 1 at Satellite sites
🔸60 Shards in batches of 12 and 12 Target Portals in batches of 3 at Primary sites
🔸Shards jump on L4+ links every 10 minutes
🔸A new batch of Shards spawns every 35 minutes
🔸A new batch of Targets spawns every 40 minutes
The first five Shards secured on a Faction’s Target Portal will score 5 scoring points per Shard regardless of which Faction controlled that Target Portal at the time. Any additional Shards after the fifth are scored at 0 points.
🎖ECHO Medal
Interact with at least 5 Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons to obtain the Medal. Valid Actions include:
• Deploy or Upgrade Resonator (not your own)
• Attack or Destroy Resonator
• Destroy Portal Mod
• Destroy Link
• Recharge Resonator (Remote Recharge, too)
Linking under Field
Every Anomaly weekend, from Friday at 1700 UTC to Monday at 1700 UTC, links shorter than 8km in length can be created under Field.

Niantic has announced a new medal: North Star!
Thanks to advances in XM technology, the NIA can use the power of the Starfield to enhance interfacing with the Portal Network! To aid Agents in their quest and help the NIA with their XM investigation, the North Star medal will function as follows:
Agents will first need to stand opposite of the nothernmost Resonator of a portal (as marked in the Portal Details screen). After that, Agents will need to orient their Scanner due north and initiate a Glyph Hack. During the duration of the Glyph Hack, Agents will need to stay at the same location and keep their Scanner oriented to the north, otherwise no points will be awarded for the North Star medal.
The NIA is noting that, due to GPS drift, tall buildings, April Fools, XM turbulence and other disturbances, Agents may need to shift left and right to maintain their position and orientation of the 6-DOF parallel manipulator in the joint space coordinate.
The North Star medal will have the following tiers:
🔸Bronze: 401
🔸Silver: 20,000
🔸Gold: 60,000
🔸Platinum: 200,000
🔸Onyx: 500,000
The medal will roll out soon with an expected deployment date of April 31, 2069.

Ingress is continuing their 10 year celebration! Two new medals are now in store: The Founder medal and the Edgar Allan Wright medal.
Both come with the following assortment of items:
🔸 40x L8 Power Cubes
🔸 40x L8 XMP Bursters
🔸 40x L8 Resonators
🔸 2x Aegis Shields
🔸 30x Rare Portal Shields
🔸 30x Rare Multi Hacks
🔸 30x Rare Heat Sinks
🔸 30x Rare Link Amps
🔸 2x Kinetics Capsules
🔸 2x ADA Refactor
🔸 2x Jarvis Virus
The sale of these two medals is significant as Agents have a lot of sentiment for them. The Founder medal was only available for Agents that reached L5 before Ingress exited Beta in 2013 and the Edgar Allan Wright medal was only available to Investigators that were active in the story and were noticed by Niantic.
As these have such sentimental value, the reaction from Agents will likely be bigger than normal.
Both of the medals cost 19.000 CMU.

Agents,
as the investigation into XM and the Scanner is shrouded in mystery and secrecy, we at @IUENG rely on outside sources to provide us with the latest scoops and news. While we place full trust into our sources, this very trust sadly made us post two pieces of intel that could not be confirmed after further digging.
We can now confirm that the NIA is not planning to introduce a North Star medal. The NIA is also not planning to sell the Founder or Edgar Allan Wright badge.
We sadly could not confirm who our anonymous source is and how they got access to the graphics that were posted, but we believe the last message we got from them before contact was cut off is as follows:
"April Fools"
