power play

Ahoy Crew! Colonization activity has been restored after the short suspension (due to the near implosion of the game servers). Trailblazers has therefore returned to being the main topic discussed on the FDEV forum, reddit subs and, consequently, also on many linked Discord servers. In the...

Seems I was wrong. Time to sober up. Will leave this thread running as why not?

Simple, and what should be a self-explanatory weekly. "Sell 345,644 credits worth of exploration data in Amitrimpanu." Did some exploring of nearby systems I wanted to explore at some point anyway. Managed to gather way more than needed, around 3.3 Million in a short time. Turned in "via a...

East India Company - EICo The Glorious And Historic East India Company Is Recruiting To Fill A Variety of Roles. Elite is a game about community and you will not find many like this one. Members from around the globe. Experts in all aspects of the game. Trade, Combat, Xeno hunting...

We have search for crew on board but do not have feature to find a wing for anything. it could be useful for PP 2.0 in order to protect traders on route or help push some system together find mates to finish some missions which is to hard for one person. etc

Hallo, I have a problem with notoriety while playing in powerplay systems. I infiltrated some settlements in an undermining system - on a planet on which there's also a conflict in war status between the power I'm pledged for and another one. I can understand that my notoriety rises while...

o7 Commanders. With Power Play 2 launched, I'm considering my path forward as a Commander, Squadron Leader, and PMF founder. So I have questions which may have overlapping answers. I've searched around, but much of the existing information pertained to the old PP system, and I'm assuming is...

Ahoy Crew! let's start our weekly update with the fun stuff... it was a great pleasure to welcome back to Harma one of the most relevant recurring events in the Elite Dangerous PvP scene: Wyrd Wednesday, organized by Mike Metallic's Warriors of Wyrd. The most funny part for us is that Wednesday...

As someone who has been interested in BGS since the beginning, I quickly came to the conclussion that Power Play in its current state is one of the worst game mechanics I've ever seen in a PvP type setting. So I'm hoping that PP2.0 will be completely separate from BGS gameplay so that the...

Ahoy Crew! It's Done: we can say it... after two weeks in which the Kumo Crew, together with other fellow scallywags, committed themselves to expanding Archon Delaine's domains, we can take a breather at least for a little while. The choice was painful, as we wrote last week, because it costs...

Soooooooo ive been out in the Black pretty much for 6 months, my allegiance slipped (grovel to the great one). Back now doing my fortifications but (insert appropriate curse) its doing my head in. Collect Utopian Dissidents Click to 10! Click Confirm Click back to main menu Click Fast track...

We were thinking of ideas like implementation of new alien races as AI controlled races or similar (with clues or similar things to find it). We also think that it would be a very good idea to implement new ships (at least of the fleet character) that the players of a fleet could buy by all...

This may sound crazy but, this is just a suggestion. Since thargoid wars are here, some of power play groups have to focus on both, to make things better here are some, i think might work: 1. Allow Engineered ships that's built by players and stored in FC to be rented for the fights only for...

Hello commanders, very little is known about the new targoid powerplay mechanic, so I created this post so that we can create an information compiler here to help the community how this works and how we can advance the thargoid threat in the bubble To instigate this post I will start with some...

Wouldn’t it be great if the big feature overhaul in 2023 was Powerplay. That’s right - our own futuristic cast of Game Of Thrones that people rarely engage with at the moment. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they were added to the game as NPC on foot characters, in unique base / HQ locations, with an...

Regarding the Fleet Carrier overcrowding issue, I propose using the Conflict Zone game-loop to resolve the limited space issue. Having visited the destination system, you have access to the system map from the Fleet Carrier Navigation panel. From there, you'd target a specific Fleet Carrier in...

I am looking at a number of relatively easy ways to improve various game mechanics, as well as provide a way for FDev to use it to help sell cosmetics. I am hoping that by keeping things simple and including a way for FDev to get revenue, these fixes might get implemented. PowerPlay is...

[BWID] Black Widow - est. 3303 Join Black Widow Today Too much of Humanity has grown soft and weak. An unfortunate number of Elite: Dangerous players bring toxic ideas to the game that strongly influence their game experience. They conflate ingame actions and roleplay with real life ideals...

Power play and BGS should be only in open. Period. If someone wish to play solo - keep this option as possible (xbox gold account etc. - we don't want eliminate players from the game) but every action taken in solo not going to have impact in background simulation in the game.

My faction, Aurora Corps, is technically a federal faction located in Gunnovale. Given all the upset within the Federation, we wish to change to Independent as part of the lore and story of ED if you guys should allow it!

Hi, 1: I was hoping for a little clarification on a couple of things... are NPCs that bear opposing faction names under their designations NOT supposed to give you merits? Because yesterday I was at a station in "enemy territory" and as I was leaving, I was aggressively scanned by NPCs bearing...

TL,DR Create new stations/settlements at a slow rate based on emergent local properties, and collective CMDR engagement in logistical and survey activities (existing mechanisms). The systems built in, and how they are populated, emerge from properties of each of eight construction companies and...

Over a concourse PA and displays a voice echoes, "Omnipol needs you! Tired of bounty hunting and chasing credits? Become a Deputy of Omnipol and help systems in need!" What I suggest uses most of the same structure in place and is two fold: First, Omnipol could be a contact like the...

Una pequeña introducción al Power Play realizado en Directo ( Twitch - Gofioman13 ) https://clips.twitch.tv/CreativeExuberantZebraCopyThis-95Yd6teVHKrJhNcs No es completo, es un acercamiento y a pelo, sin guión y mostrando que el Power Play no es PVP. Es más complejo dentro de su sencillez y...

Hello I'd like to make sure I am doing this Power Play correctly. I have pledged for the Packhounds, I am at 3 Weeks and 1 Day. I just ran enough 'Packages" to get to the 750 Merits I need. I actually have a few more than I need, since when I first pledged I thought I could do it all upfront...

Hi commanders. I have set up a squad with the aim of getting an ingame faction. We are located in Wathi system. After reaching our goal, we will have a number of roles. BGS, Exploration, Trading, mining and most important Having fun. We are also in the Zachary Hudson Galactic Power Play, so if...

In a move that allegedly required Senator Patreus to be tranquilised to control his laughter FUC launched a major offensive involving their entire force against the Oto system only for them to promptly throw down their weapons and run away. To celebrate this colossal disaster by the Federation...

Greetings Commanders, It's been an interesting few weeks since my last Aisling Duval Powerplay overview. We had a patch that actually broke merits for a little while. Then they were free. Then not-not free. Then needed extra clicks. AD players worked closely with FD make them aware of the issue...

Greetings Commanders, My past few posts have been zoomed in on Aisling’s Powerplay efforts because I feel like explaining some of the “hidden” events going on just out of view helps players realize that Powerplay isn’t dead. It’s alive and kicking in a fun-yet-dysfunctional kind of way. But...

Hello, bit of a noob to powerplay and station searching. I was aligned with Li Yong-Rui for a little over a month and grinded enough at the powerplay to unlock the Pack-Hound Missle Launcher. Before I joined, I did a little searching and asking a friend of mine what the best station to dock all...

Today the minor faction types supporting the federal power of Zachary Hudson has nothing to do with the Federation. I have to wonder how you came up with that idea, that to support the Federation you have to work against the same Federation. We were going to war in a system to fight for the pro...

Let’s just pretend upkeep gets changed to become very reasonable. As fleet carriers function currently do they add any value to Powerplay? Or do powerplay’s greater problems supersede it’s usefulness?

One of the loadable modules we could buy for fleet carriers is the Faction HQ module. So, here's what it brings to the Carrier: Purchase the "Faction HQ" by the normal process as other FC modules. If you are within [x] light years from a BGS game faction, you can enable the "Faction HQ" to...

Power play is the piece of the puzzle that ties it all together. Every profession, the BGS, pvp, pve, squadrons, FC, horizons, all of it can be tied together with power play. I don’t have any specific suggestions about what changes to make. There was some dev initiated feedback over a year ago...

Hey guys, I've read that the Federal ship line is good for creating a strong hull tank combat ship, and as this outfitting approach sounds interesting and I've never done this before I wanted to give it a go, using the Federal Gunship. The main purpose is to engage in power play combat-wise and...

If this is a bug, I'd like to report it, no biggie... ... but is Powerplay really so worthless as to not keep an item when you're no longer sworn to a superpower? I've been playing a long time, roughly 3k hours, and since Powerplay came out I never bothered doing it. Last month I decided that...

Attn: Legionem Ethicam is seeking talented and versatile CMDR's wishing to expand their skills and fill a myriad of roles. As a Squadron, we are looking to establish a presence as duty-bound mercenaries to fulfill any need in the galaxy. Looking for both new and veteran CMDR's to enlist in our...

Some suggestions for INARA: Show a graph of Merits and a projection of merits into next weeks (with the 60% reduction applied). Show what CMDR has done for each power both this week and in total lifetime.
