PP last minute change to add credit awards. Thank you, FD!

[Ydiss]

I have, along with quite a few others, been posting long and hard on the beta forum asking for various improvements to PP and probably my main one was for credits to be awarded for contributing.

This was important to me because I (and lots of other players) don't have a lot of time to play. With each patch we got loads of excellent fixes and changes but with each I really thought FD would never address this. But they did. In typical FD style, right at the last minute and hidden in a gigantic change log.

There is so much great stuff in 1.3. PP still has some work to make it more engaging but overall I think a lot if people think it's an excellent start.

I just wanted to thank FD for their hard work and, most importantly, for listening.

Agreed. I'm glad I don't have to choose between making money and getting involved in politics. I can do both, and that is great.

Well, if you didn't spend so much time on the forum....

J/K. Glad you got a result.

I'm really happy about this too.

To some, politics is about making money.

Just wait for the "this is not enough reward money" threads

You can see some amounts in the Power Play explanation video on youtube. Rank 3 equals 200,000cr .... So nothing to sustain commanders with larger ships. I think FD wants us to split out time doing PP and normal stuff. But due to the normal stuff being boosted by pp we hopefully will get the same in the end.

Those are just the ranks. I believe you get a bonus each time you:
1. Do a PP action
2. A cycle ends and you're pledged to someone

My phone is the only reason I can post tons. If I could play as much I'd be delighted lol.

Anyone seen how much you get per merit?

 

[Derath]

anyone mind sharing a combat goal you can fulfill in PP? Everything I look at seems to be suggesting I have to go ferry supplies :/ really isn't my style

 

[Flimley]

Sounds good to me also. Credits make the Galaxy go round.

 

[Jenrai]

Am I reading that correctly that at rating 5 we get 50 million credits per week??

The Big Boom theory?

 

[Chazzie]

It's a good change to add credits to PP gameplay, it's a deciding factor for me.

Now - if we can just find out what happened to the faction weapon / module rewards we'll be laughing!

 

[Agony_Aunt]

I'm slightly dissapointed actually. We have enough ways of making money in the game as it is. It was nice to see something that wasn't related to money.

Anyway, can't complain... I do need to keep making money for when they release the Beluga.... that thing isn't going to be cheap.

What? Where you see that? :O

EDIT: I just saw it. That is INSANE!

Forget missions, forget trading... if you want cash, just grind like crazy in powerplay, you'll be as rich as creosote in a few weeks.

FD are trying their best to make me pledge for a power after all. They might succeed. I will wait and see how this turns out over the first days, and then decide.

 

[PrometheusDarko]

I'll add my sad at work voice to the others asking for details. For at least the next two hours I'm stuck in the office, can anyone give a bit more info on what kind of credit rewards we are looking at here for both actions taken and tier?

I signed up with Arissa because her control was meant to be combat and she has me carting documents around or something. Sigh.

50 Mil credits well stick at it for 6 weeks, I can turn in 50 mil creds in 2 days, and not kissing the cheeks to the powers......
