SOLO POINTS MUST BE REMOVED FROM POWERPLAY 2.0

[Quint87]

The age old struggle of solo / private group / open now an actual struggle in Powerplay 2.0.

People doing activities in Solo / Private group SHOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL SCORE.

-They still gain Merits for their efforts in solo.

Why? Because there is ZERO powerplay of players happening in Solo. If this new powerplay 2.0 is going to be based on PLAYER ACTIONS, then ALL ACTIONS that affect the outcome of the galaxy should be done in open.

If someone is trying to Fortify a system, another player should be able to stop them.
If someone is killing your ships and harassing your Stronghold you should be able to stop them.

This action needs to happen sooner rather than later to maintain the balance of player interactions.

I am also a believer of 1 persistent Universe, but that is a longer stretch to ask the devs for, rather than a powerplay balance that needs to happen now.

There’s already a thread for this.

Cool. I hope they see it.

Take a moment to review some of the long standing arguments surrounding any kind of 'open-only' content. Any of the previous lines against restricting players choices will do.

This is bad and you should feel bad. Either that or I hope you're always instanced with someone playing on the other side of the world so you can start to understand why people don't like Open. Anyways read the other thread and fight there.

I make a counter proposal. We should stop Open Merits counting. In fact let’s go a step further and get rid of Open all together.

You don’t like that idea? Why? Does it stop you playing the game the way you want? Maybe other people have the same right to play the game the way they want too…

People doing activities in Open play in different timezones SHOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL SCORE.

People with bad ping SHOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL SCORE!

 

[St0rmFury]

Only people with empty block lists CAN CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL SCORE!

 

[anShpan]

Too complicated! It should be: OTHER PEOPLE CAN NOT CONTRIBUTE TO CONTROL SCORE!
