The Powerplay discussion thread.

I am a family man and I have finite time to spend playing this game. I worked quite hard for a few weeks getting to rank 2 and moving toward rank 3. Logged on today to find I am back to rank 1 with only 8 merits.

I have left powerplay for good. Biggest load of rubbish I have ever seen and a total waste of my time. All I had to show for it was a 50k bonus. I could have earnt a few million in the time I wasted. Thanks Frontier for ruining the Elite experience.

I have a day job - I don't want my evenings to feel like one too. Get rid of Powerplay or make it fun.

'Powers' like Patreus and Aisling had large followings before PP even existed and I think the PP grind has destroyed some of that "fight for your faction, not for da loots" vibe. Not sure why they even have rank rewards when we are supposed to follow a power just for the enjoyment.

Ehm.. Polecteri is a statement: We could use all this command capital and more to make things better and, but since our system is a sand box with people who only see 30 LY, we took a step outside the box to watch aside this show. As I said before. We do exist.

Yet again it is a proven statement because it is done absolutely opposite to your 5 round command as a result of your own ignorance. - 2nd value of that is, we don't follow you.
Your nominations were made by yourself. - There was no in game vote, and therefore your command is not legit. You can talk all you want about 100% votes, but they do not exist,
unless you enforce it with your moderators.

As result of your "lead" we have to reevaluate your in-depth understanding and the only way to let you play your game is to let you be in that small area.
HIP 32812 which is your own, we have absolutely no connection to that, but it is still there and that is even further than Polecteri. If we compare these 2 stations, which you think has a longer survivor ratio? However, I have not ordered anyone to stop your progress because I see that this HIP system is like SOUNTI to us.

I just wonder which of these 2 stations have a better progression area.. Our small joke, or your serious attempt.

This powerplay is serious **** you know. All you need to do is smoke in it a while and you see colors on the galaxy map.

Going after someone in game size like this.. PFFFFT don't flatter yourself too much. You are not worth running after, but like the Japanese say Kampai!
Or you want to set up a personal date? - Want to hold my hands?

And the last of the Polecteri action. We do not care any longer. That point has been reached. I am just saying this to keep you warm and going.
Do you need fuel to go forward? I can get you that service.

Space Opera? :)

This thread is like being on drugs at an opera, I can see people moving and hear noise but I have no idea what the characters point is or indeed what they are saying. I am however looking forward to my cornetto at the intermission.
I'd have to be drugged to be dragged to an opera!
 
Oh dear, this is horrible. Powerplay means that people who want to invest heavily in the mechanic and work toward a goal will actually have to think strategically.

Who would've thought? Real live game content, finally coming to ED, and people complain.
 
wow... have always hated PP but it has suddenly become interesting. not completely sure whats going on - all I understand is some bloke representing a secretive group of bad boy mercs has 'threatened' some other bloke representing a new found 'guild' after being kicked out.. PP, huh? wow...
 
The show is about Uzumaki Naruto in his known fox mode and using fire. - I tried. I failed. - I came, I fail, and rolled over. - I surrender... Please have your power zone.

People complain because they can't yield game and other commanders to their will, because....gasp...this is not EVE, and it doesn't work like they imagined they would, etc. etc.

(that's not said PP doesn't need tweaking - it does, just because it's so huge system it won't be 100% ok for some three months)

These and other threads are worth their popcorn time. I haven't pledged to any power but heck I love PowerPlay just for these threads alone.

These threads show that it is actually working like Eve to a degree. :D

This is propaganda and playing the meta just like you get in Eve forums, even if people are doing it unintentionally.
 
Yet again it is a proven statement because it is done absolutely opposite to your 5 round command as a result of your own ignorance. - 2nd value of that is, we don't follow you.

Which ignorance are you talking about? My ignorance how overheads work or yours? My ignorance how our expansion is going to hurt us within 2 weeks or yours?

And seriously you're still ****hurt about the wording. Still stuck on the word "orders" when the whole post screams objectives and suggestions.


Your nominations were made by yourself. - There was no in game vote, and therefore your command is not legit. You can talk all you want about 100% votes, but they do not exist, unless you enforce it with your moderators.

[irony]Yeah I have personally hauled 50 propaganda in 10 systems to have them listed...[/irony] (especially when I jumped in the train hours after the beginning of the cycle) You clearly have no idea how things work. These 10 systems were listed because of various people bringing propaganda there, no one can even tell who. All I did was giving a look at the 10 systems that were proposed and inviting people to knock a couple off the list (one that has a negative profit and one that is too far away from the HQ).

You maybe don't agree with my suggestions but you still have to show any knowledge about the mechanics of PP to make yours relevant.

So let me get this clear? You insist on the fact that I have no understanding about how PP works but you haven't understood the reason for HIP and the reason to leave it at #10? The only reason for this system was to lower the amount of prepared system because of its cost. By squating the 10th place it is lowering the amount of systems to prepare next week since we want to slow down our expansion.

Even worse, you still haven't understood that not a single system currently prepared is meant to be expanded. None of them has any importance but some are just more harmful than others and need to be pushed down to make sure that they don't make it to the expansion phase. See, we actually think about the meaning, the consequences of what we are doing unlike you. That's called having a plan instead of expanding anarchically because you like the name of a system, because it is the homeworld you chose for your group, for RP reasons, etc.


This powerplay is serious **** you know. All you need to do is smoke in it a while and you see colors on the galaxy map.

I don't know what you are smoking but it is no wonder that you are not making any sense.

i would appreciate if we could stop stereotyping eve and us who used to play it!
propaganda and meta is not something that is unique to eve and has been around in online gaming since forever.
pls do not mention eve anymore here, let us just play Elite.

I can see how you could get that interpretation, and in some respect its even true, but the reality is the first Bloke got online and then started smearing the second block with untruths on the forum and the second bloke wants him to man up and have some balls and admit to it and stop it and the second bloke will let it go. It is not about game play or strategies or anything like that its about having integrity as a gamer. Nobody likes Cheaters in games and Lying in a game is just another form of cheating because your trying to influence peoples choices by using their ignorance against them bad play in this Blokes Book.
 
Indeed, which is why "What's Opera, Doc?" is the greatest one of them all. :)

You just noticed this? :)

I was on a 4 month hiatus while all of this fermented. Came back to find people whining about not putting guilds in because it'll make the game Eve, and then see the same people playing the Eve meta in powerplay.

Some things have changed, others haven't. People still don't know what they want yet know what they want....:rolleyes:

this thread will stop being fun if your gonna start stereotype eve and us who used to play it!

I used to play Eve too. Were you around during the beta? These forums were great during the beta. EvE online was literally Hitler. Now people are playing all of the aspects of Eve they "hated" in ED and still gnashing their teeth and pulling their hair and swearing they want nothing to do with that "toxic cesspool".

It's brilliant.
