Patch Notes Update Powerplay Beta 8 changelog - beta servers down for approximately two hours

[Lord_Crazy]

1 update a day, thank you guys for working so hard!

- - - Updated - - -

"- Reduce chance of pirates/bounty hunters interdicting the player in anarchy systems when the player is low ranked"

WHY oh WHY?

INCREASE it not REDUCE it!

No. If you have no rank you have no value and pirates don't need low profile targets. Besides it might entice noobs to try anarchy and get interdicted by real players. niark niark niark

 

[persephonius]

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.

Are you sure that this doesn't mean at least the ranks of deadly, tycoon and pioneer, the ranks that is just below elite. Elite being rank 1 and the previous ones rank 2?

 

[Sly]

Don't think they will delay 1.3 any futher. Judging by everything we are getting release tomorrow.

On a Friday? I hope not. I'm guessing (and hoping) we will see it next Tuesday.

Edit: On second thought, perhaps even later as faction-specific weapons still need to be tested. FD should consider making all of these available to all beta players over the weekend for testing.

It means you have to be ranked Mostly Harmless, Mostly Penniless or Mostly Aimless or higher to participate in Powerplay.

- Reduce chance of pirates/bounty hunters interdicting the player in anarchy systems when the player is low ranked

Shouldn't this be the other way around? If I was a pirate I'd want to increase my chances of success and hunt easy prey..

BUT .. Nice updates all the same.

Another day without the full release
"Beta starts at 20th,....oh no a week later, but we will release after a week.......eeeh I mean two weeks....eh three weeks...."

- Reduce chance of pirates/bounty hunters interdicting the player in anarchy systems when the player is low ranked

want the thrill of pirates then rank up

Ugh.. Something strikes me as wrong about that. Anarchies should be dangerous regardless. Maybe lower ranked players should be chosing not to go there if they can't handle things.

 

[Grango]

Hey with the new insurance what are they going to be? for each rank. my friend crashed his python and needs 1.6 mill to cover, but he has no money.. with a broker trade rank cover the loan in the new update?
Thanks

Agreed. The risks and rewards of Anarchies and low sec systems should both be higher. At the moment, low sec anarchy nav beacons are full of mostly harmless rated wanted ships. More danger in dangerous places please! (But keep the high sec systems safe but with lower rewards)

Is this a step to stop people using second accounts to sabotage a powers development?

 

[Warbrand]

Thats just the Level: "Not afraid of landings anymore"... not a big task!

What I recently found (of course because I didn't read something properly) You can jump to specific stars in an system in this built.

Anyone else mentioned that?

 

[stridecolossus]

What I recently found (of course because I didn't read something properly) You can jump to specific stars in an system in this built.

Really? Anyone tried it? Is there a sort of sub-list of stars for systems with more than one?

 

[Warbrand]

You check the system map and can select a specific star for Your Hyperjump!

Thats great!

I wonder that was not told in the Changelog, because it is something the comunity was looking for!

Ugh.. Something strikes me as wrong about that. Anarchies should be dangerous regardless. Maybe lower ranked players should be chosing not to go there if they can't handle things.

Maybe they are just not worth the hassle to kill? A mostly harmless Sidewinder is non entity to a pirate, not unless you use them as target practice.

Or more likely they'd be easy prey.

 

[Temple604]

Thx to the devs for all your hard work! Really excited to see the 1.3 release!

 

[Zphinx]

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, anarchy system Dangerous, if you have still Pampers on, you should not go in there. Should you be a noob trader, you should not get in there, should you have a starter ship... (yes you are all correct...) you should not get in there.

Level / Rank up, learn the game and cruise around Empire / Alliance / Federation space, do like 20 missions and stay away from Assassination missions and anarchy system.

I am against this change, make such systems dangerous as hell.

 

[TruffleSnout]

Guys, the release note says it "reduced" the chance, not eliminated it.

For all we know, the "reduction" may have been from 50% to 49.99%
