... that Powerplay FINALLY gets the much needed change to be Open-Only in the upcoming release patch?

Really hoping tho since FDev doesn't appear to care about PP in the slightest, i put it at 1% chance.

There's been no mention from them that any powerplay changes are coming, and it wasn't part of the beta, so i put it at a 0.0% chance.

That is a wildly optimistic guess.

I'd say it's a lot closer to 0%. As in 0%.

It would be a bit strange to switch without any prior notice, but I hope that it stays on the list of future updates.

I thought this had been settled (but not yet implemented), and the preferred solution was to keep PP in all modes, but to reduce the value of PP cargoes if they are taken into Solo/PG?

Powerplay has more serious problems than that. The whole "strategy game" behind it needs to be fleshed out massively. Then you can use that system to PvP regardless of game mode. PvP ship combat will have its own place there then for those that want to engage in it.

Seeing all the handbags that start flying whenever open-only PP is mentioned, i’d agree with 0%.

I just want to be able to buy my cargo full of quota in one click, instead of the 100+ clicks required to fill my cargo right now

It would be nice, but I'm not sure 1% is accurate.

1% we get some kind of update/fixes...maybe.

And dump it all at once if desired.

What if they are picked up in solo/pg, fly to destination and then mode switch to open to offload?

Or use solo/pg to fly to pickup location, switch to open to load, switch back to solo/pg to fly to destination and finally switch back to open before off loading?

You don't need a 100 clicks. Just hold the button down.

He's talking about the items you can only buy X of every 30 minutes.

It's not complicated. Merits devalue if you enter solo/PG mode, period. It wouldn't be based on what mode you are in when turning in.

For example, they could add Powerplay CZs and scenarios where PvP has a very big impact on Powers. But what happens when someone pledges an enemy faction and let his mates kill him deliberately? I propose an Elo system, killing someone with a low rank would only have very little influence while killing someone with high rank has big influence. Also take the time they are pledged and Powerplay rank into account and it shouldn't be a problem. I guess it would also be great fun to climb the Elo ladder.
There, I just fixed PvP for you.

No, FD said they haven;t decided anything for now and nothing will change with 3.3. That is all we know. Personally I find it the ultra weak of FD to just randomly throw such ideas around and then do nothing for months or years. For shame, really.
