Dear Sir. Is anything planned for 1.3 to make trading in prohibited items worth while considering the risk compared to vanilla trading. It would add some life to otherwise dull trading and make smuggling (not piracy or salvage collection) in to something that was covered in depth in the dda.

Will the expansion of civilized space ever happen automatically?
Will more details be revealed about the influence system? The rubberbanding etc is a complete mystery and has screw over my group at least once.

I did say "deep" space... Those probes are still in the sol system so I'm hoping he meant other things to find!
Joining powers is optional and you can continue to play the game as you do now if you don’t want to get involved. You do need to join a power to gain the perks, but changes to systems from being controlled by a power apply to anyone in that system.
In other words the markets and laws can change when the system Power changes.
In the newsletter, it was mentioned that an intersection between a trading power and a military power will result in piracy missions.
Will this make NPC piracy more profitable or will we continue to need to focus on players?

Yes. Other things... ;-)

Hmm...
Since I worked mostly alone during the last months on supporting Alliance Factions within Systems to gain or retain Power (Influence) :
In what respect will Power Play affect personal goals set by individual Players (i.e. at the fringe of space with little Player traffic), for example as to make existing Factions Extend into nearby Systems or i.e. helping them take Control from another Faction inside a System?
Is that direct/distinct but rather local Faction support something Power Play will scale up? Or is it going to work entirely parallel to such activity, having actually different goals?
(especially for Players with no access or connection to large Groups of other Players - in essence that would also be a valid question for Solo Mode Players)

It can be more profitable, and it will apply to both players and NPCs.
