In case of hudson it is certainly bonus for bounties...

Good that they are doing stupid thing instead of undermining our princess
Their impact on PowerPlay is likely zero.
That's true, I've gone through 2.5 million credits since pp started in repair costs ship outfitting etc, that prismatic shield better be worth it

So my question is what keeps me tied to PP after the 4 wks are up and I have the special weapons?
I've gone through ~200 mill since PP started - although it's highly speculative, I somehow doubt the mining laser is going to be worth it.
But probably that's just because I don't mine (I sell slaves to have them do that for me) and Mom pays less for mined materials than anyone else in the galaxy, yet still hands out a mining laser.
I'll keep backing Mom, I'll probably keep backing FD - most likely because I'm a Masochist

Ah... how many people are going to get their favourite weapon and then say "I think I'll have a prismatic shield to go with that!" after week 4?
200 million!!! That makes mine look a piddly amount but I'm guessing repair costs for a much bigger ship than my trusty Cobra . I'm on rating 3 at the moment which should have given me a 500,000 cr reward instead I got the 50,000 reward (rating 2) when the weekly count was done, just seen that rating 5 is 50 mill so I guess that's worth shooting for IF Imanage to get the right reward, anyone else been getting the wrong reward for their rating?
Reported it as a bug and got told FD is not replying to bug reports.

Hopefully they take less energy too allowing better weapon loadouts

OMG that would be amazing on ships like the Vulture where every tiny little bit of power is used
I'm really looking forward to people getting these things so we can see what they do
If they could get the licensing rights EVERYONE would want a MLP FiM themes on their ships and/or shields.
Looking at some of the ridiculously stupid preparation targets, I wouldn't doubt that they are.
Either that or people are burning through a crazy amount of credits buying merits to get ranks and are chasing the closest systems to Cubeo because they're too lazy to fly further to the systems with better CC payouts for the faction.
Clearly some people suck at basic math and economics.
I'd bet they use more power, basically being a shield generator + shield booster in one, saving you a utility slot. They're not supposed to be a straight upgrade, and all other modules have been said to have a drawback of some kind.
There is no such pact that I am aware of. Minus the shield folks. The Angels intend to help get imperials to the #1, #2, and #3 spot. We have no intentions of fighting each other as we did that route and it caused problems.
Not at all - I didn't join Aisling based on pure speculation about her shields. E.g. Mahon gets a small beam laser - I don't have a use for small weapons and I seriously doubt prismatic shields will come in all sizes, so I picked my faction based on whom I like instead of the bonus module (I clearly don't have any interest in Torvals mining laser, not even if it's huge).
Now should prismatic shields be available as class 6 and 7 and offer a decent enough advantage, I'll defect and use my minimal grasp on maths and economics to pick the worst possible system for the time I'm with the ditz.
What makes you think wanting the module makes people want to support the faction at the same time?
Happens to all factions btw - Torvals most prepared system during cycle one (Jeterait) is terrible - it's on a good trade route though.
Is there any faction in the game where terrible systems that are convenient for merit-grinding AREN'T being prepped?
Mate, I'm with Pranav Antal, I'm rather pleased we still exist in Cycle #3
. All I'm saying is that not being Opposed or Undermined is the norm for Imperial Powers up to this point. Things are a little different in this cycle, as Lavigny's aggressive expansion is being Opposed, Torval sees some Opposition thanks to the direction she chose to expand, and Patreus is getting pummelled for stepping on Kumo Crew's turf.

Methinks it will take a few more cycles before the border conflicts start to heat up.
Once the juicy high profit systems of the core are gobbled up, there'll be a lot of interface between the larger factions, especially the ones in the middle (Hudson, Winters, Patreus and Arissa and possibly Antal).
We're just in the 'expansion' phase right now; once there's little room to move, systems will begin to change hands on a regular basis.
Trouble is, the only important metric is the total CC available once you own a system. There's little in the way of tactical or military importance.
For Hudson, I imagine a high CC system that's Independent or Empire-aligned will be desirable, as it can used to farm RES sites and conflict zones for massive bounty bonuses (assuming Hudson doesn't drop to 4th or lower... likely so far given the largely disorganised efforts so far...). Those bounties can then be transformed into prep or fortification cargoes.

i was gonna join her although my biggest problem with empire is slavery and she is the one who wants to change that,we have yet to see those shield generators which im very curious about but i was with feds from the start and if federal corvette ever comes i might stick with winters for now
