Yes, definitely - another reason for Frontier to do more work on inter- and intra-activity balancing before taking the brakes off.

What's stopping you from choosing another Power? I understand a lot of people are sitting in some kind of Mahon.
So Escape Pods are still not worth merits.
I wish I could say I was shocked, but I'm not. Disappointment is the standard, apparently.

Anything on the broken exploration data merits getting fixed, or if you think it's not broken then a comment explaining on what the frelling requirements are to get merits out of them? How about rare trading getting enabled again? Bunch of other issues with PP2.0 that people have been reporting?
Orbital lines fix? Okay that's easy for you to ignore, affecting only a small minority of players... but I am quite shocked how quickly you seem to have abandoned Powerplay to the bugs after the 2.0 launch.
Oooo, Titan in Sol, oooOOOooo. It's the same old AX combat just relocated to a different system... "bUt iT's SoL" ...yeah, so what? It's a cheap trick to get people to "care". Not that I believe we can fail the defense... or even if we could, that it'd actually matter; there's what, 20000 inhabited systems in the bubble? I really hope you have something planned other than the Titan going kablooey in checks watch 8 hours or so? I believe we were warned of some new stuff to happen? (Stargoids had been seen before, so moving a bit doesn't exactly count... (imho))
That's not particularly relevant. I don't really need to find another power, I'd just like it if I could put merits more easily where I'd like them to go doing activities that I like to do rather than going where the whims of BGS states tell me I will get the most profit and doing activities that Fdev hasn't figured out are still broken. In any case I finished my min/maxing this week.
Everything will be made: New Ships, Powerplay & Thargoids but the bugs remaining bugs. Since years. as you say: Disappointment is the standard.
I don't get it either, a lot of people complain about life pods and rare goods. I had no problem making them on the weekly mission.
But intelligence data, on the same weekly tasks do not work at all!
Although they made all modules available from any Power, I understand everyone's occupation is different. You have to choose the Power that suits you best, in any Power you can't get rewards for any actions.
Thats not true.
Yes you don't get it.
They are left out of the merits. "We are assessing the situation".
The I don't think the map movement is that slow, and I can tell you if a significant number of players engaged with PP seriously it would be moving really fast. The issue is the tiny number of players engaging in organised power play, and that tiny number are not even playing that much if you see how easy it is to get in the top 10.
So I can mine minerals in ANY power and I'll get rewards for it?
I haven't had a weekly I could be arsed to do for a while now, but the exploration data weekly and the rare goods delivery I had couple weeks ago did work... for the weekly, not for general merits.
Of course I'm pledged to LYR, he probably doesn't care about exploration data... based on this weeks weeklies he's more into... combat, and theft.
Every lever works for every power, while some powers get bonuses the effects of geography and BGS states are much larger than the Power bonuses. I made most of my merits doing activities that AD does not get bonuses for, and are not advertised as activities for AD anywhere in game documentation, that are nevertheless very rewarding for the time expense.
I was given a weekly for intelligence last time, I still can't make it. I've turned in pages, and individual items that exceeded my limit. It's always 0.I haven't had a weekly I could be arsed to do for a while now, but the exploration data weekly and the rare goods delivery I had couple weeks ago did work... for the weekly, not for general merits.

I don't know what power you're pledged to but it absolutely is not easy to get into the top ten in the most popular powers. What's frustrating for me is getting 400k merits in a week on strategically useless systems due vs. 50k merits for the same amount of time in a strategically important system due to imbalances between PP activities
When selecting a system, it says at the bottom of the menu what you can do in that system to get rewards, since my power is not shown on the map to the right, I switched to another power and I can no longer do bounty hunting to get rewards.
You absolutely get merits for things that aren't on the list.
