When two allied Powers clash over a system it is more covert, but still occurs.
Will the Cobra "wireframe" paint scheme make a return to the store? I'd like to get that.
Nice try but no.
It better not
Agreed.
I'll fetch the burning torches...
And on-topic:
Dear David,
As an Explorer, I'm feeling that the Universe should have WAY more life than it does right now - when can we expect to see active signs of life in this big beautiful galaxy you and the team have created?
Hello again David Braben.
Will it be possible to capture and hand over to the local/factions authorities, wanted NPC target instead of killing them in the future ?
It may require new modules to fit in our ship, it could bring more challenge and depth to the bounty hunter role.
Thank you again for your great game.

One last question from me:
A lot of people have come and visited that big supermassive black hole in the galactic centre, either as a tourist spot, as a finishing line for a race, or (sadly) as a place to be shot down and killed. If you owned the Sagittarius A* system, what would you do with it?

Oh, and another question (though I'm not sure my previous one was even noticed): Are you considering some ways to profit from Powerplay gameplay, beyond the exclusive modules? At the moment, you're pretty much operating at a loss until you attain the rating needed for the exclusive weapons, and the other bonuses are a bit underwhelming. A payment for delivering binds or items would be nice, and provide an incentive for non-endgame players to take part in the Powerplay stuff.
Hi David,
Will the actions of actions of players working for the various powers begin to feed back in to the FD curated narrative?
For example, if one of the major powers was dominated by the other competing powers would they be effectively written out of the story?

Cos the bounty hunter role really needs more love compared to the other roles already ::rolls eyes::
Question: Will there any system or feature be implemented so you can communicate your position in a system to someone else (and I don't mean a wing beacon), so when someone says let's meet at XXX or at RES Y or whatever we both know where this location is? Maybe a way do display or determine local coordinates in a system or unique identifiers for (stellar) objects, so when there are 3 RES in the NAV screen I can tell the difference between them (this is also relevant when you don't have any cartography data for a system and can't navigate at all with any purpose, because of the sheer endless list of unknown contacts)
TLDR: find/display and navigate to a specific spot in a system with 'coordinates'? Some kind of unique ID unknown stellar objects or RESs (to differentiate between them in NAV panel)?

Nothing to say about the promotion of minor faction to major status ? Nothing at all ?? Please ???
We've been working on it since the first announcement of PP !
With a lot of work/play we now control 2 sectors lol
All for nothing ???
Not complaining ! It was fun !! but we would really like to keep going with at least a chance of achieving Major status.
A Minor Faction has to become pretty giant and influential to be considered as a Power. It is not an automated process. We plan to keep the number of Powers down, so that is a factor too.
