As An Archon player.

[Djtarjan]

I got a few suggestion's.

1: to encourage pirating change the bounty bonus the Independant - Archon Delane - 20/30/40/50% reduction in fines/bounties into
20/30/40/50% On Stolen cargo instead.

2: The Cytoscrabler ? What ship other then a Adder got cargo space to pirate with this super useful weapon with its 500meters range?
Suggested fix: Take Burstlasers from All Classes and remove their Hulldamage and add that to shield damage , wich would make cytos
useful but not overpowerd..

3: The Cargo drop's need to be changed a bit , the npcs in Resource extraction sites should drop ores and minerals. Allso the max drop before
cans blow up from 20 to atleast 100 (yes i know its coming)

4: Allso in powerplay in general there need to be a change to merit system , cause a lot of players just haul the powers resources to the
nearest delivery place to get merits the fastest. Wich will mess up any powers Preparations and fortifications .... especially
for the smaller powers..

All of your points are great, although your grammar isn't perfect.

I support this 100%, +1.

FDEV doesn't like pirates, so the Archon faction issues will probably never be fixed or at least, not fixed before anything else gets fixed.
I think after the worthless craptoscrambler debacle a lot of Archon-pledged players just aren't doing anything with PowerlessPlay anymore.
You can easily tell that by looking at the PP stats for Archon right now. No one's really doing anything to help that faction out.

It's not a good time to be with Archon. I'm impressed though at how resilient you are! Trying out diplomacy I never realised how many co-coordinated strikes you get each cycle, with some powers even working together!

Although I'm strictly neutral I admire your lots tenacity.

BTW, yesterday, while flying in Leesti in my Vulture of death, I've been interdicted by one of you fellas (Archon villains, that is). The guy was flying a FDL, so I thought "alright mate, let's dance a pewpew and see the outcome". Then, shorltly after the beginning of the fight, another Cmdr showed up, in a Vulture, and attacked me as well. I flew away. I enjoy a good fight, suicide, not so much. That left me wondering what was their purpose? Attacking an unwanted pilot flying a Vulture will not make them rich. If it was to kill for no reason other than killing for free, guys please, use common sense: even under fire, reasonnably well equipped Vulture are strong enough to engage FSD, drink coffee while waiting for it to charge regardless of the mass lock factor, and pick flowers along the way.

So my question is: what was the point? It will not help your master in any way to attack unproductive targets such as that, ya scurvy dogs.

Well the 5th column are still working hard on their experiment. I'm curious how long they will persist before concluding that 'the results were disappointing...'

 

[Djtarjan]

Well i know a lot of archon players quite frankly have given up on powerplay . Only reason im still in Archon myself is cause im waiting to see if/when FD do something about powerplay . Hopefully something will happen soon or Archon will only have 5th column playing for them.. As most of our hardcore pvp players are going after other modules..... This is what happens when u dont balance rewards humans will run to the place with the best reward. There need to be a whole balance change over all the powerplay rewards and the bonuses for each POWER need to be Equal (this will be hard but dooable). And to Gédéon_Lecanard usually when players like you get attacked its 1 ur in archon territory or 2 your a pirate HUNTER so attack and chase you away.

1- I was in Leesti, as I said. Not Archon territory, and not likely to become so seeing how tired you archon minions seems to be those days

2-I see how it could be perceived that way, but not my case. I don't care much about pirates, my Vulture is all about endurance runs in conflict zones and RES. Though I'd never flee from a fight, even versus up to an anaconda, as long as it's not impossible.

That said, my anecdote was more of a question about usefulness of Archon followers actions. That is surely because indeed, as you said, some are a bit bored?

It's not Archon players, it's all players are doing that.
Harma can be quite a dangerous place to fly and it's not because of pirates.
Been like that since day 1 of PP.

This would happen even if the modules were balanced (or even useful) and it was obviously the case from the moment the PP mechanics were unveiled. There is no meaningful sense of permanence to power membership, bit of a joke really.

I pledged with Archon and was pretty excited about Power Play.
Then I realized how weak and unbalanced the PP mechanisms are.
Then I got highly disappointed with the Disco/.
Then I realized all I was mainly doing was undermining other Powers anyway.

While I have now defected to another Power, for getting at least something that will be useful to me, I do not plan to be of any assistance to this Power. However since Archon is the only character I am ready to support, I still plan to heavily undermine its neighborhood. Nothing much has changed but my color

I have also 3 Eagles, fully equipped with Cytoscramblers (since it has been confirmed PP modules can be transferred after defection), parked in Harma...who knows, FD may fix/tweak them someday...
