It will be full contact. Competing Powers will also fight for that space by the elevator, there will be no rebuy if you are killed there.
Also, you'll need to get your hand to hand combat skills raised to level 10.
Too little. Too late.

I spot a mad scientist when I see one.
I honestly CBA to read that. If you're not happy, that's your opinion. If whatever Frontier do is not enough for you, well, you know where the door is (as they say). I don't share your opinion. I am a glass-is-half-full type of person, and it's never too late.
Does this excuse Frontier from criticism, no, but there's no need to be so negative.
Mmm... Nope. The fact is that 99.999% of players who forced themselves to touch PP did so only for modules. For one specific one, strictly speaking. For prismatic shields.
Almost no one does RP for powerplay, and in general there is no point in it. Forum warriors may not know it, or try to deny it, but most players are either in private mode or solo. There are literally not enough players who are interested in the MMO aspect of the game to change one light bulb.
I honestly CBA to read that. If you haven't read the post, you have no reason to waste time responding to it at all.
Well, I didn't post a wall of text and expect people to read it.
If you're not happy with Frontier or the game, then why are you here?
I can tell you from experience, moaning about the game will not motivate Frontier to change it.
Too late to complain about them then.
Indeed, "noone".
That's why they should ignore it, instead...idk, maybe reworking it and change something.
Brilliant plan.
Exploration with new terrain, rework of geo/bio sites is much better than before. AX had year of updates, so now it is much more than hunting signals in pleiades and 1 AX CG per year.
Now it's PP's turn
Games I've stopped playing have received updates that haven't tempted me back. Such is the way of things. 
They [module shoppers] are not powerplayers, neither that is powerplay... 99.999% don't provide any kind of contribution to powerplay and loss of their merits (= kaboom) doesn't cause any harm to a power.
Well... here I am, the total opposite of that (Archon Delaine's Kumo Crew -> open only/RP as pirates&criminals).
However, the others did it. They may not understand, but one day they will figure it out, while I will only repeat “I told you so.”
Besides everything said in the OP post, also for explain that this approach is literally the reason for the steady decline in the game’s audience.
Yeah. Of course, if in a place intended for communication between the audience and the developers, a bunch of security guards gather and kick off one by one the players who were really interested in development, then the developers behind you will simply be perplexed. No one seems to be saying what they are doing wrong. Seems to be all positive posts. Only the average online is steadily declining, and in the tenth year it can no longer be justified by seasons, people’s busyness, or anything else. And all this while other projects’ online growth is steadily growing. The fact is that some correctly understand their key features and develop them, while others do not understand, but instead of talking to the audience about it, they only see the backs of the security guards.

No real change then? It's like that now, everywhere
These fonticula campfires must be a really high iq plant species as they seem to have discovered ftl travel in order to spread across a whole spiral arm of the galaxy

Very good then, you are crazy (in a good way) and all so unusual, you deserve praise and all that, but... We are rather talking about boring and ordinary things here. Such as statistics and the vast majority of players.
I myself was an exobiologist long before profits increased. But I don’t consider those who rushed to collect samples after the increase in profitability to be some kind of sub-biologists. This is just a significant part of the players. Just as significant as the part that grinds to unlock prismatic ones.
You can refuse to admit the truth, but PP is not a key feature of the game. This is just a month of suffering for the sake of the required module. And after the rework, PP will not become a key feature, simply because the audience, that limited to a handful of interested people, and the scale of this gameplay is limited to just the Bubble. It doesn't take advantage of the real key feature of the game - a realistic, full-size galaxy.
You're god damn right!!These fonticula campfires must be a really high iq plant species as they seem to have discovered ftl travel in order to spead across a whole spiral arm of the galaxy
I was wondering how it happened that absolutely identical plants grow throughout the entire galaxy, and the only reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is that they are not just plants, but a powerful and developed race that has populated the entire galaxy.
ED does need more biomes and alien creatures (see No Man's Sky). It's all up to the devs to add such things. If big expansions are not feasible then they should add it bit by bit. Sell early access passes for new planet types.
You do get that.....you might also get updates later on? Just, not right now?
Exactly. You're absolutely right. The first I would like to see are those same alien spiders that were mentioned in one of the Halloween events.
In fact, for me, an old-school gamer, it is still very, very strange to watch the audience literally beg the developers to somehow monetize the game. I’m sure if the developers had simply said that they needed a little more money for the work and pointed to a bank account on which we could donate, the players would certainly have tossed a coin. I personally know people who buy ARX just because they think it's helping developers, even if they don't need those shipkits at all.
I think you need to accept that the 1:1 scale galaxy Frontier promised us back in the day was more or less a sales pitch to grab headlines during the kickstarter. Anything Frontier do outside of the bubble has always been an afterthought (copy and pasted plants and biomes are the lowest form of content you can get). The only exceptions to this have come from player lead events that grabbed enough headlines to warrant Frontier actually adding some tangible content beyond bubble borders - Colonia being the prime example of something that sprang up thanks to player actions going against Frontiers set in stone narrative, and Distant Worlds 2 which lead to the Explorers Anchorage CG that Erimus Kamzel wrote, another player initiative that sort of forced Frontiers hand to recognize there is a wider galaxy out there that isn't just about impressive numbers. Its also quite telling that all the handcrafted nebula and star clusters are within spitting distance of bubble borders too, and stuff like Guardian Sites won't be found too far off into the depths either.
But in hindsight Frontier concentrating all efforts on bubble content makes sense from a dev point of view. Imagine the amount of time and investment that would have been required to flesh out a 1:1 scale galaxy and fill it with countless wonders that probably only a tiny fraction of the playerbase would ever stumble upon and experience. No, it makes more sense to base your content and story telling in a fraction of the gameworld you as a dev created, as that's where the vast majority of your playerbase stays.
In saying that I always found it ironic that the games biggest and most well publicized events, and most fondly remembered by those who experienced them, all took part in the neglected far off places - the afore mentioned birth of Colonia being one example (prior to which was just another copy pasted nebula), and DW1 and DW2 being major historical expeditionary events that brought excellent PR to the game along with emergent gameplay and player created content. There was a lesson there for Frontier to take note of, but sadly never did. But yeah, if you see Elite's 1:1 scale galaxy for what it is/was - a headline making sales pitch for a kickstarter - it makes sense why things panned out the way they did.
