Hello fellow Powerplayers,
I think that, meanwhile we wait for news of improvements about Powerplay like we'd wait for some kind of modern day Godot, we should at least ask the developers for a regular monitoring about some sensitive systems.
Bots have always been a real problem to Powerplay and I really do not want to talk about who's botting right now or who botted whom in the past, but I just want to find a solution about this phenomenon which, I remember you all, is esplicitally forbidden by the EULA of the game.
So I suggest to make a reasonable list of sensitive systems to propose to FDev for continuous monitoring.
HQ Systems
Reason? You can inbound or outbound fortify, but you'll end up in your Headquarters and bots will have to do the same. Same goes for 5C-bots, that keep fortifying bad systems, especially during massive turmoil attempts (as we saw recently). I don't want to talk about 5C in particular, any kind of bot-hauling is bad, even bot-fortifying. The systems are the following:
Expansions
Any kind of expansion: both good and "bad" expansions, for hauling and combat Powers too. We've got combat bots too, you know.
Preparations
Not every single preparation of course, I'd say we can consider every preparation that reach a 30,000 merits quota suspicious.
Why should Frontier Developments listen to this request (and how should they treat irregular accounts)
I am for a zero tolerance way of dealing with irregular accounts: perma-ban and let's forget about them. Did they pay? Well, so did I and all the honest players, was my money less valuable? I don't think so.
Bots and cheats are strictly forbidden by the EULA, the fact that Frontier Developments tolerate this kind of behaviour is an insult to all the other honest players.
This is something worth to invest in, considering that in time people will stop using bots because the risk is too high, even if the game is in sale very often money is money, especially wasted money (yeah, I'm talking about secondary accounts, a lot of them).
If you have got in mind any other sensitive target please share, and most importantly let's try to find a way to let our voice listened, we can improve this game together, and the Developers obviously need us players to understand where this kind of behaviour can be most frequently found.
