Elite Dangerous | Powerplay 2.0 Questions and Answers

Lol imagine reading a magazine with 1 image for 9 years. We should have a lot more artwork, 3D graphics / models of the powerplay leaders.
Correction: Powerplay released on June 5, 2015.

One of my true disappointments (of what we have been shown- it may change on launch) is this issue of art. Its a shame FD don't 3D Power leaders as then they can (like BGS avatars do) smile, frown etc.
Weren't they just represented by colours before picture people were added? Do i remember that correctly? Twas so long ago.

To be met with security at the spaceport ?
The translation took away all the meaning
Meet the king and his entourage inside the spaceport.

PP was the first human faces in ED.
IIRC in the early teasers, each 'overarching faction' (i.e. Imp/Fed/Alliance/Independent) had its own coloured background, with a black silhouette of the characters
Seconded.
They could've released a dozen comics about the Powers. It would show more of the lore, locations, cultures and universe.

I'm not sure about comics but certainly there was immense scope for lore and a powers ethos to be woven more into the game. Some Powers and engineers did feature in some books though. Patty, ALD, Zach, Aisling, Bill Turner, Martuuk were all in with the Club (Drews book Premonition) and others.
Since that lore branch got chucked out, I'd just settle for more in game references, like big holo heads and propaganda.
Comics can visualize the characters and locations. Show detailed artwork of the capital cities of the 3 superpowers. Where do they live? What do the streets look like in Capitol, Olympus Village, Garden City. How about Aisling's Imperial Palace on Emerald. People who care about the lore want to see these locations.
I'm not against it, I just think that the horse has bolted on that one. That, and really the main characters of ED have always been its ships- reading some of the ED books its like product placement sometimes.
The ships would of course be in the comics as well. ED has a dedicated fanbase and lots of regular sci-fi fans would check it out. A live-action series based on the Elite universe could be great too.

Sir, I don't mean to worry you unnecessarily but that mission that you botched recently was authorized by the king himself, and he doesn't seem to be happy with you. I think he brought a few of his favorite swords with him. If you don't mind, I'll just wait over here a few yards away.
From the Q&A
I suspect their thinking is that if all powers hand out all modules it doesn't really matter if some of them aren't all that useful compared with the others.

I agree with them, it doesn't matter, everyone gets all of them if they do enough work for the power. And, as they have said nothing one way or the other, new powers could also bring new modules with them.
Well this update seemed to me like a good opportunity to squeeze in some module improvements / build options. I don't own PP modules, but I've read over the years of some which are really hated, like for example the mining lance, which is considered one of the worse laser mining option out there... What is the point of having obsolete rewards, even if all powers will now offer them?
I feel there may not even be a new module now that all pp modules are being offered by every power.
