Elite Dangerous | Powerplay 2.0 Update

[Paul_Crowther]

Greetings Commanders,

We have identified an issue where certain actions are being excessively used for Powerplay gains.

In order to investigate and resolve this issue we are temporarily suspending Powerplay gains via the following methods:

• Rare Goods Trading
• Settlement Data Delivery This is now enabled
• Escape Pods

Once we have resolved this issue these options will be enabled again.

Thank you for your continued reports and feedback on Powerplay 2.0.

[FrankXjr[G911]]

Hoho....FARMING 2.0 paused.

 

[St0rmFury]

Oh boy

Powerplay gains

Does this mean merit gains, or all effects on PP?

Thanks Paul. Will you be reverting the merits and systems progress gained by using the duplication exploit?

 

[Rubbernuke]

Its great to see FD taking action but....whats the long term plan? Blind 'Whack a mole' on stuff or is this leading up to a substantial point update to address issues? While this sorts out exploitation, its also making ordinary players a casualty who this will annoy and confuse.

thanks for the clarification!

 

[CmdrPSB]

Thanks for the update, I think anyone who didn't think these three needed at least looking at would be kidding themselves despite the predicatable outrage that it's been "nerfed".

Temporarily suspending merit gains on these activities while the devs are working on a solution is definitely the right thing to do.

But I gotta add, in a perfect world, this action should have been taken sooner.

please also look into farming merits at stronghold carrier, it seems way off, you can easily afk farm 35k merits an hour with a good squadron.

 

[WILLIAM BILL ADAMA]

Temporarily suspending Rare Goods trading? So now, How can we defend Stronghold system?

 

[vanFace]

At last! Good call.

You know, the moment I typed it I thought that looked wrong and yet I did nothing. NOTHING!!!

farming at stronghold carrier is insane, but please don't nerf regular escape pods farming in USS.
