Nice :) - Added images for news items

Pictures in the newsfed or, maybe hints of new ship types? Weapons? :)

Can you give bounties for killing power ships or cargo in next update so we earn something from them, plz :)
 
- Reduce chance of pirates/bounty hunters interdicting the player in anarchy systems when the player is low ranked

I also don't agree with this, its an anarchy system, its meant to be dangerous.
If low level players keep getting interdicted in these types of system more than others, players will soon learn the difference.

Otherwise nice, thanks for the fixes.

I agree, there should be no scaling whatsoever in this game, it is supposed to be Dangerous.

Kool cant wait to see what the new galnet is going to look like :)

Remove the crime exception for point defence guns as they're now covered under the above rules.
does this mean that if I fire a missile on someone who I have not targetted and their PDT takes it out then they won't register as a criminal?

I wonder what blacklisted systems are??? Permit systems perhaps???

Good change on the pledge thing, the player should be at least rank 2 before being able to pledge :) Oh wait that is not the power's rank that is the elite ranks... so is that 2nd up from Harmless or 2nd down from Elite?

Good move.

Out of interest, why is this a good move? I haven't really been testing the actual Powerplay functions so I don't know too much about it yet, but players who are new to the game should be prevented from playing Powerplay then?
 
It's been reversed for now, but they said that they still think there should be a penalty of some kind for swapping modules. I guess they will might come back with a similar but different proposal later on. They also said that this is a point of contention even within the dev team (David Braben mentioned this on his Q&A yesterday).

Well, not that much contention as concept of costing as way it was implemented I guess. However, yes it will come back later on. In what form - hard to know.
 
Not combat rank, but power rating i guess.
Rating 1 : you just joined.
Rating 2 : at 100 merits : you now have a few preparation nominations.

no i don't think :

- Players without at least a rank 2 in any of the elite ranks are not allowed to pledge

Seems like harmless and mostly harmless can't pledge any Power.

Live servers or beta servers ? Both ? (sorry i didnt saw the answer in the title)

Just for a reminder : Any news of the Anaconda's Vibrant paintjob pack ?

My guess is beta servers as BETA 8 is going to be released...

As for the painjobs for the annie... Coming Soon (TM) :D
 
i dont know about hitmen going after someone with a large bounty, but Archon Delaine sent a Dangerous Vulture to sort me out because I defected from his Power.

...
Interesting. Is this to prevent some kind of exploit?
...

It may help prevent "Headless Chicken Syndrome" where new players instantly jump into a power and mess up their expansion plans :)
It'll also mean that new players won't be hit with all the power shenanigans out of the gate, they already have a steep learning curve as it is without getting involved in politics.

Sounds like a good move to me,

Master undocking and basic flying around , check.
Taken a few missions and done some trading, check.
Maybe taken part in some local politics, civil war, lockdown, and other effects, check.
You now have a basic understanding of the low level simulation.
Welcome to Power Play.

All the above will not take that long really and gives you an introduction to the game without overloading you with information to try and work out.
 
Wow speedy work - great to see the drip feed of new stuff to test and improve.

However one question, I am not sure what this means...
