Your conviction is admirable commander I also wish to know this along with the other questions I asked in advance I'll wait patiently for the rest to be answered but I too am very interested in smuggling and if it will be a real career with high risk and high reward dwarfing trading in potential revenue. Will there ever be a real black market where you can buy and sell unique commodities worth significantly more than regular ones?

thanks for the info about the Imperial Courier. What role will the Lakon Diamondback play?

Cue MB rushing over to take the keyboard away!
We need more of this. I miss the inspiring dev videos David did in 2013 and getting the full vision for where FD wanted to take the game.
More spoilers, please. Michael can answer Power Play questions. Let's get a refresher of the vision and all the cool stuff still to come from The Man.
Hello Mr Braben,
From what I understand the main game play difference on this update is undermining, fortifying and expanding.
How exactly will players undermine, expand and fortify?
Is it by missions, goals or something different?
Will us be able to group up for these tasks?
Are the rewards viable?
Thank you.

I'm very much a fan of how Frontier has handled gender balance in its NPC characters, but as an Imperial citizen I'm quite disappointed to be hailed as a "Lord" and then "Baron" and so on. Is there a reason why the Empire has no Lady/Baroness/Viscountess/Countess ranks, or is this fixable? (FYI, there has never been a female equivalent of an Earl, perhaps Marquis/Marquess or Duke/Duchess could be substituted?)

Would love to know this also, thanks.
Oh yes, I do miss those.
Hello David,
The support for all paths including explorers for powerplay is great to read and looking very forward to the launch. Does Frontier have in mind a bookmarking option for the Galaxy Map? Often times I've found several systems I would like to place under different tabs for activities (Good RES hunting system, Great mining spots etc.)? Currently been writing them down manually. Thanks and keep up the great work!

I second this, ship naming would definitely be a very nice addition. Hadn't considered the decal possibility though, nice idea!Dear David, Will we be able to name our ships, and if we are, could we add the name as a decal. I realise that there will have to be some naughty language filters applied. Maybe ship naming could be something we could do via the store?
Lots of love again,
Brian - CMDR Smokey
Any word on whether this is still planned, and potential timescales?
Might I be cheeky and suggest 11 for the chairman?
What qualifies a minor faction or any faction to ascend into Power status? Is there a set value? It would just be nice to know where to aim for.
A couple of us are waiting for this answer with our ships ready in our choosen independant system with independant faction ready to cause chaos within the galaxy
