Powerplay, even as it is now, is all about team work. Not everyone hauls, there are other activities needed for a Power to be successful and anyone who has participated for more than just unlocking modules knows this. You might like it or not but disrupting enemy activities by doing PVP is already part of the game, the issue discussed here is if we want to remove the possibility of escaping said disruptions by switching to Solo.
Not everything is about hauling, but a vast majority is.
I never said anything about liking or not liking PvP in relation to PP. What i was saying is that anyone who is trying to take down haulers when they could be hauling themselves are being ineffective and it would be better if they spent their time hauling.
As I said, if it goes open only, then i presume those haulers who continue to play PP will become skilled at avoiding opposition, flying Cutters, and just waltz past any attempts to stop them. Personally, i don't have access to a Cutter, and i don't like beating attacks through tanking damage. I'd go with the Clipper and laugh at the fat combat ship trying to keep up with me. They can fire as many grom bombs as they like, i'll be out of range before they can even deploy their hardpoints
Also, remove the possibility to go solo, those who really don't like it (assuming they don't just quit, in which case, they are a non-factor) can still block or use other methods to ensure they don't meet player opposition.
Look, don't get me wrong, i don't have a stake in this. I'd only be interested in Powerplay if it was completely reworked because as it is, there is nothing in it for me. I'd be quite happy for it to be removed entirely from the game. It serves no purpose for me except to clog up spawns with PP ships, which annoys me loads when i'm bounty hunting.
What I'm trying to point out though is that people seem to be so focused on how great things could be in theory they are not following through on how things will play out in reality. Remember things like Rinzler's video and other statements from PvPers? Anyone can escape a gank attempt! Git gud! Be prepared. Follow these guides. Either Rinzler and co are talking rubbish or expectations regarding what will happen if certain changes are implemented are badly wrong.
As I said earlier, if PP goes Open only, its fine with me, as long as it is open only, and no trace of it exists in PG/solo. At least then i will be able to bounty hunt without the annoying powerplay ships spawning all over the place.
