I know what you mean.
It's just that if a newcomer comes to me with a question about joining the Force, I'll answer it:
Either you fly long and gain experience outside the Force,
Or you join the Force and only fly solo until you reach rank.
I don't think I'll be approached by experienced players.
When I started playing in 2015, I had no experience or money and was very worried about insurance. Now it doesn't really affect my choice of game mode.
You'd be giving extremely wrong advice in that case, in my opinion. But that's an entire new topic :)
 
Hi!

What exactly does "Increase in mining commodity profits in your Power's territory" mean? Does it only work with mined metals and minerals, or does it work even if I bought them? Or are both true? Since there is no purchase cost for mining, If I sell the mined resources, do I get 1.45x the price with Zemina Torval with the 45% bonus? Can I accumulate mined goods in my fleet carrier and then sell them later? Will this work too?

"Will it be possible to completely knock out a Power?​

We’ll watch how PP unfolds and make decisions about how Powers are removed from the game. There is no automatic system for knocking out a Power."

If a power will be removed, what will happen to the merits? Affected players will lose it all, or they can transfer them to a new power? If they lose all their merits, how will you compensate the players?

I'm pretty sure they will cross that bridge when they come to it. My bet would be on tough luck.
I'd also lean the same way. If a Power fails, surely the agents of that power go down with it, and become unpledged when it dies, or jump ship, with all the connotations that already has, e.g., starting again from scratch with a new pledge to a different power.
 
If you scroll through the rewards and highlight each one it tells you the increments. Look for the star icon (IIRC) to see when perks get uprated.
The server is available again.
I still couldn't find that button when selecting the Force. Previously in PP1 I was able to evaluate everything from the force without joining it.
How do I do this in PP2 ?
(I read - HELP and CODEX on the bottom right, it doesn't have this information)

There have been posts for bonuses across powers (as in, the max at 100%).

What I was alluding to is that once you join, you can scroll across and see the 10% or so jumps the rebuy bonuses go up in.
 
So l arrive in a enemy PP system. I drop out of warp to collect some stuff at one of those power signals. As I'm collecting 3 clean Edmund mahon PP ships arrive.
And immediately open fire on me. I scarper cos I'm in a type 8.
If I'd taken em on and say destroyed one or 2 or even all 3, would I have gained noteriety?
Wanted yes i get that, and a bounty.

Well try it! For science!

I intercepted a wing of 3 clean ships, a T6 guarded by two IEagles all pledged to Torval in a Torval controlled system. After destroying the ship, the IEagles ran. No notoriety or bounties (that I'm aware of). It was a legitimate Power kill

This was always the case in PP1, no notoriety was given for killing an enemy force agent.
 
Can someone explain to me how to collect Garrison supplies and deliver them to the same system? (additional info). I tried picking them up from the stronghold carrier and deliver to the nearby station, didn't work. I was able to deliver them in an exploited system, but no advancement in assignments. Is this a bug?

Can someone explain to me how I have one covert, three S&R and one finance weeklies on a power that is Finance, Combat, Combat for its ethos?
Also specifying systems goes against player agency, you should not do that, we have our own goals with powerplay.
Maybe even let us pick what category our tasks come from?
Edit: I am not finishing these this week btw, not engaging gameplay, looks like we got another bit of DOA content

I note the collect and deliver power commodities to the same system is a bug
I have that as one of my weekly tasks.
I also have another where i have to hack holoscreen adverts in a system that appears not to have any - so I am at a bit of a loss there too...

So far it looks like (at least to me) these missions are randomly generated and not Power or ethos specific. I got lucky and didn't get any "deliver to same system" missions.

I think Factabulous said his Horizons-only account got Odyssey malware assignments. That should get filtered out as well obviously.
