the same always before stations
Elite Dangerous | Ascendancy Update 1 - Thursday 21st November

- Start date
I always get excited when the planet generations system reloads in my GPU, or wherever it is cached, when running the game after an update!
Sounds like a nice one.
Yes, combat is one activity that contributes to Power Play. Just like every other activity that isn't related to combat. So if I get it right, your argument is that Power Play is all about combat because combat contributes to Power Play. You are ignoring an entire game there...Just like all wars.
But it's not like any of the ingame powers wants to rely on peaceful methods only. Even the most peaceful one are perfectly willing to attack you guns blazing. There are power CZs in contested systems. My alt is pledged to Nakato Kaine, who doesn't sound like a particularly warlike personality, still she was happy to reward my alt with tons of merits for massacring everyone at enemy stronghold carriers. Winter is another relatively peaceful power according to her ethos, still they seem to be okay with attacking my Archer-pledged main account whenever, despite both of said powers belonging to the Federation.
The same could be said about exploration. So Power Play should all be about exploration because it's one activity that contributes to Power Play. That's not a very solid argument in my opinion.
When I look ingame the vast majority of Power Play gameplay ignores combat. Just like the Power Play commodities and ethos of leaders. It even says so in their description.
Blue Cobra for me, after all it is winter
Merit gains may have been buffed across the board on this.
on all activities? is it now balanced across all activities?

As I said it was like a war. Logistics, propaganda, subterfuge, territorial domination, the background economy etc., everything is there, not only open combat ofc.
Now downgraded to Mauve Adder
Seemed like 4x on PP cargo and ship scans, haven't been able to do anything else because of server issues.
Mauve Adder approching station.
4x on ship scans? As in: A ship scan now gives 20 merits? Wow.
That's unpossible. It's proven by literally hundreds of posts that FD are only capable of nerfing everything good and wholesome, nerfing it into the ground, and institutionally incapable of reducing grind!
I've only gotten 3 merits per scan, probably something to do with ethos...
