The Powerplay discussion thread.

I have to admit I find it amusing and a bit troubling that some people seem to have installed themselves or claim to be leaders for a power. The subreddits are just that and I think some people have a megalomania complex :p
You think?
Some?
All who enjoy playing ED are megalomaniacs! Even the obsessive explorer desiring their name splatted over the universe!:D
 
This^^; think this is bad? just imagine if we had Guilds...

Think you could be any more manically introverted? This guy is making a decision to do what he wants to do instead of what the group wants to do. The ability to make that decision will never change regardless of the social tools put in the game, so stop trying to deny other people their choice to organize more conveniently as groups. It's not like those motivated to do so haven't been doing so since launch. We've already got guilds/corporations/alliances/whatever, it's just a PITA to run them.
 
the whole game feels that way op

i started playing a few days ago and can't see me lasting past a week or 2, the galaxy feels dead and lifeless, the game is just progression bars and ranks, AKA grind
 
Rank 5 guarantees me income of 10 -15 million an hour at Res sites or Conflict zones. Then there's the 50 million salary weekly. Lots of rewards, millions of them, actually :D
 
I've been rank five for about three weeks and all you chaps crunching numbers aren't really taking game play in to account. Power Play is a space soap opera. It took me a while to realize it and also how to maintain rank 5 and it's honestly not that hard... or important.

Before Power play there were no rewards at all for backing one of the powers, like Denton for instance. People did it for fun. And that is what people like to forget.
Now there are

"(x + x/2 + x/4 + x/8 = 10000 , x=5000)" = missing the point of the game

Cheer up and have some fun and put the calculators away
 
Yes and no. For followers of most Powers, that's just what it is in terms of rewards - an unrewarding waste of time. Then there's a few Powers (mostly Lavigny) that actually do provide great stuff to their pledgers. Just typical ED "balance".

Not when you spend 3 hours logging in and out finding nothing but sidewinders, adders and eagles.

And god forbid you want to go out for a week or play other games for a while, investment gone.

Just stop trying to game the game and play it. Yeah Powerplay's the grand space opera role-player's love. For me i just undermined for two evenings and had 750 merits to get my 3 Imperial Hammer railguns. The role-players are happy influencing the galaxy. I'm happy making things go boom for my considerably less of a time investment.
Listen to Ben put away the calculators. If you don't enjoy the experience of the game don't torture yourselves anymore, do something else. It's not rocket science.
What i need to know is if i defect now do I lose access the Imperial Hammer?

RC51 I don't want your ADMIN powers even less your Website.

Boy reading comprehension is not your strong suit is it, I said, "man I can only imagine in your tantrum what you would have done if you had any actual power like administrative privileges." No where in there does it say you wanted them. It say's what I fear you could have done had you had them.

I am not going to come to your website to bully you,

To late you already did shall I post the Private messages between us and let the readers decide Mmmm.



don't bring this battle pirates stuff here it is not part of this game. This is not sector 162. You have to understand that we have the guns and ships we worked for and we use it. You can have your clan and bring all the JU's here as much you wan't but don't think it will be the same. You can not buy guns here and act like your the battle pirate boss out here.

Again the battle pirates stuff would some other member who has a clue what he means please explain it to me cause in this case my reading comprehension isn't that good. :eek:


It is amazing you just spend more money to improve your power again. - The power you get of course is limited to users you have in your website. - All yours you paid for it. I am not going to be there. .

While that is true I did indeed pay for it, though my hope is other members in the future will help shoulder the burden in that department, again I have no power other than Administrator of the Website just like moderators on this website have controls on this forum to handle unruly members, So did I, but I didn't want that I wanted to work with you until you Threaten Winters space with your so called mercenaries at that point I had enough and I changed hats and became the administrator of the website because I wasn't going to have you posting here and there your threats, because it wouldn't have been healthy for the group just as most of these post are not healthy and I wouldn't even be having them if you would stop referencing me and our discussing in a untruthful manner.

I gave you some information what was collected from our team, but it is not good enough for you. Therefore I left. We simply understood that working with you is not going to be any easier than before. Then we just decided to stay in our own forum. - Here we are again.

Yes you gave some information and I talk with you about it and said I would see to it that your concerns would come up to a vote, and you lost it that wasn't good enough for you, we had to act NOW or else you would unleash your pathetic Cosi Mercenaries at us, and I say pathetic because you have provided not one shred of evidence that this group even exists when ask you dodge and say your secretive.

Now you want to end this, you want me to go away, simple let me explain how that will happen. Stop slandering me and how things went down between us Step up be a man and have some integrity and be honest that you were the aggressor not I nor any other member of Operation Winter and I will leave you alone.
 
Why would you even care

until the day they make it player sandbox, power play is just another change the color grinder
 
I think I go buy a recorder and put it on a repeat. - Yes, the moment we choose another power you can type all the events which will follow. You call that a threat. Yes.
There will be a group of players organized to take your power down. That has been explained to you, and you seem to clearly understand it and use it to enforce your word of ADMIN.

All yours all yours. Havit, pleze. We put roses on the road so you can walk through out your kingdom. - Just we are not going to be your royal guards anymore. We had enough of this.
 
Hi Cmdr Ultra,

I believe that you keep the Hammers if you defect but if you loose your ship and have to claim on the insurance then the Hammers will not be re-installed.

You would have to rank up and buy them again.8-((
 
If anyone could give me some evidence on the Cosi mercenaries existence it would be appreciated.

Starkiller, who is dropping the data to Polectra? - There is your answer. I am not going to start listing up members, their names ID:s details to you. Since we do not trust you anymore.

That CC/W in Polectra can be used for you or against you. It is after all the zone you wanted to drop so we kinda boosted it up few times just to make sure you pay attention .

Would you like to give me your name, your location, your country, phone number... No... Stop asking us to break our privacy, just pay attention.

-- Now I am done with this. --

The point of views have been presented. I hope the discussion will continue how to improve this cap of connection problems without 3rd party. -- Starkiller, you are a good guy but you are only a moderator.

QFT: Quit trying to game the game... I like that.

Of course I think attitudes like this are a good reminder that the devs need more things to do in the universe. After all, you provide a big toy like PowerPlay and the instinct of many is to take it apart, see how it ticks, then get the most out of it.

I think we just need a "Stuff" update at some point, where the focus isn't on new mechanics, weapons, or other such features, but just general "life" occurring in the game. Not just tougher NPCs, but NPCs that can be interacted with, for example (ie be able to send a demand for cargo from traders). More things to discover while exploring (planetary or USS based). Missions that have consequences (ie you succeed in an assassination mission, expect to be interdicted later by his relatives ala Taken, looking for revenge). Missions that create chains instead of single events (ie finishing one mission results in a second or third mission to follow up with, or a mission that requires a few steps to complete)...

and so on...
 
I like to know who I am dealing with is all, I am not asking for personal contact info just information on your group, there morals and what you stand for.
 
Lots of people are actually botting powerplay with programmable keyboards to get their allotment every 30 minutes while they are not at home. Engaging gameplay, they said.
