Hey guys,
Trader in a T6 here. I'm really looking to get involved with the political aspects of trading, and wanting to be a part of a team that participates in all aspects of manipulating the sim (combat, trading, etc.). Obviously it looks like you guys are one of the more focused groups on the forums in this regard.
I am thinking about joining up and coming out to Pand, but I'm just curious; have you thought about what you'll do during PowerPlay? I'd like to be involved in the broader picture of the galaxy too; having a 'home base' to work on will be fun, but I don't want to participate in the bigger picture when the update comes out.
It will be hard ot participat eint he "big picture" for us, as we are nowhere near even close to being a power - nor is any other player group. Those of the go off and score brownie points with any power, ar eof course welcome to, and I'm sure this will have benefits (I'd happily align myself to any power that would give me access to better FSD technology, for example).
For us, 1.3 will mostly about seeing what improvements and tweaks have been brought into the background sim, and honestly, I am really looking forward to the update.
As Sloan said, one of our goals is to potentially become a power. May may succeed, we may fail, but it'll be fun trying. Even trying to find ways to upgrade our outposts to stations, working on ways to increase population, expansion to uncolonised systems, etc (which are not yet implemented as far as I know, but we can hope) are a couple of things on the "to do list" on the way.
On a side note, we hit 70%, Oro rats at 0%, and we are at war critical. A few of you will have an opportunity to gain some combat rank shortly...
