So Since We're Getting Powerplay...

[Petersen]

...are we going to lose Community Goals? Since aligning with a power makes the rest of the universe hostile? =-\

You don't have to align yourself with a faction, you can abstain and just go about your normal business. So I would assume Community Goals will stay.

I personally am hoping that we get some faction specific and some that are non-specific, depending on the goal (Independent systems).


I can't see them removing them entirely.

Agreed - offer as much to everyone so long as it is your choice and not forced upon you too much.

it is not as bad as it sounds, all you get is some new types of npc's that will attack you from time to time, and players from other powers can target you whit out getting bounties in their territory.
normal npc's does no bother about PP and will treat you as usual.
doing community goals whit in hostile power space is still possible, it just adds some extra spice to it.

To me, it's exactly what I was looking for since the beginning, more ennemies, hostile territories.

Extra spice that is.

i can actually imagine that it will be worse for the players that are friendly whit the power that hosts the community goal.
suddenly tons of hostile players from all over the galaxy might show up on their doorstep to do the community goal and the locals might find them selfs severely outnumbered.

I think that this will be quite an interesting addition. I will probably go for a combat focused power, since that is where I am strongest. Piloting skills will be quite important in a power made for combat, and I would say I am a pretty good pilot. (not meaning to brag but,) I can evade interdictions from anything less agile than a python, unless the pilot is a proffesional player, and even then, I have managed to evade some of their interdictions. (I.E. CODE at the Diso event) Also, I just love, love, love taking out hostile ships, especially of they put up a good fight. I just hope I will be able to fight off attackers in other power territories without getting a really big bounty on my head.

Faction-specific CGs would be fun.
People would have to defect from other factions to take part, opening whole cans of worms.
