PP week over?

Hard to believe, Torval had more than enough CC to afford the system beeing prepared. No opposition as well - so even while i agree that this can be the case in some cases, i highly doubt it this time. Felicia Winters as well, only one system sent to Expansion, with nearly 1300 CC at hand? Rather unlikely. Though i don' know what preperation looked like for here.



Sorry, i am already offline and preparing to get to work. Only wanted to play a bit in the morning before i ran into this mess. Only checking, reading and writing to the forum while i get myself ready.

Another possibility is that the leaders have preferences based on their attitude/lore and we use our weekly nominations to better control which systems out of the top 10 go into expansion.
 
i must have imagined it, but I was always Under the impression that the PP week went Thursday to Thursday... I'm sure I read that somewhere or other.

It is Thursday in the UK, which is where the game is. I think.

I hadn't heard that it was thursday to thursday, though, or I would have planned this week MUCH differently.

If that's the case the Friday release for a 6 day week seems a bit of a jerk move.

If FDev aren't careful Powerplay is going to absolutely destroy Elite's reputation. The game was perfectly fine without it and IMO its a mechanic that has potential as a concept but has been far too rushed.

1.3 has to be the most buggy release ever.

You really thought you'd get that 5m this week. Obviously you have to attain the rating before you receive its payment. And you cant attain the 4 rating until its cycled.

Yea, so what? Not unlikely that you'd get it for what you achieved in the past cycle and prior to the next one. Besides, that was already explained and i don't care if it is as i thought or as it obviously is. Expectations didn't match reality, no big deal.
 
Ok, my question about how to nominate systems for preparation seems to have been merged with the PP week over thread...

There are now systems nominated in the Mahon page, so clearly somebody can do this. What am I missing? How do I nominate a new system to be prepared? I can't see how to do it on the preparation page, nor find a button on the system map.
 
Well, I hope to get back my powerplay vouchers but if this will take another 3 hour downtime during my gaming time I will gladly resign those 150 powerplay(stupid name anyway) to the void
 
As I said I could have imagined it... which would have been more fool me when I logged off last night at 23.59 thinking it was done! No, I think it was in beta when they said it would run Thursday to Thursday. I could well be wrong, or I might be right and its a communication failure. It's certainly not in the release PDF.
 
How did you even rank up? I have enough merits to rank up, though nothing happens? Do I have to do something for it?
 
On topic but a bit of a subject change:

Why are my merits at full? I have 5k merits because I earned 5k 'last week'. (notwithstanding the 2.1k un-cashed I lost entirely) Shouldn't I have 2.5k merits?

Not that I'm complaining that I didn't lose even MORE merits but I think this means something's afoot.
 
Just checked, all working fine, just a day early.

Not for me, most of it - yes. But to me the question regarding preperations systems not taken over to expansion for no obvious reasons remains.

@Dbrn47: Have seen your attempt to give an explanation (thanks for that). Can't argue against that lore point, but if thats really the case i am out of PP. Either players have the power to decide where the journey goes or not. :)

I count seven days in a week. It has not been seven days. I am forced to conclude the Time Cube guy is behind this.

Edit: I'm down 510 vouchers, which would have easily put me to rank 3. Bounties don't expire, is there any reason merit vouchers should?

Im not bothered by the merits or reward since I just see it as a little extra to do when your bored doing your regular thing. The thing that is bugging me is how A. Lavigny Duval managed to expand control into systems that Aisling Duval had been Moving preparation in all week? Last night when I was checking progress Yakun (either Yakun or Yukan) had more than 10 times the preparation points in the standings for it, I must be missing something... Power play seems overly complicated to begin with but now the stats don't even add up to what is expected to happen its more like just do whatever and don't bother thinking about your actions since it doesn't matter anyway, now I have about 15 to 20 systems all trying to kill me because I wanted to join in the fun with power play, now im kinda segregated to staying in Aisling Duvals space since leaving for another factions space result in being attacked.. Current power play system X+Y=Z Nobody knows what X is, Y is at the pub and Z is doing whatever the hell it wants to do, I hope things get sorted out so we can enjoy this new and quiet interesting mechanic.. I don't even mind that because of power play im wanted with atleast a 10k bounty in about 30 different systems.
