Elite Dangerous: Updates to Powerplay In Update 7
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
I can't help but wonder what the powerplay landscape would look like if this bug had never been introduced, or if it had been fixed when the first report was submitted in May 2017.
Well, better late than never.
Well, better late than never.
Nice, thanks for the fix!

I could have bet money on this kind of response from you
Try and start the ball rolling with a little something nice for Powerplay and looooook what we get, goshhhhhhhhh
No really, still very much listening. Just a small offering at the moment but nowhere in my notes does it say "this is it" so...
Hatch Boats?

Don't you dare
Patch notes come the day of the release of the update like with literally every single update to Elite ever.
Remember it was "fixed" in 2019 or so and then reappeared against a year ago or so. Fingers crossed it is gone for good!
Anyway, really happy that PP bugs are getting addressed. Fdev loves us
@sallymorganmoore Just to be clear, because you only mentioned the "positive" inflation side of the income bug. As described here the bug also had another nasty side to it, stealing CC from powers. Essentially the CC loss from overlapping spheres (owned by two different powers) was made permanent after a turmoil caused one of the two to lose one of the overlapping control systems. Here the bug was described in much detail. So my question is, does this fix do a full recalculation of the entire control system list in PP or does it selectively fix individual systems? If you want to keep us in suspense and don't want to spoil the surprise tomorrow, it is fine if you don't want to tell us ofc
But it would be nice, if this bug was also fixed via the full recalculation!
Anyway, thanks again for the positive energy and the work you guys are doing!
Sally, could you elaborate more on how this will affect CC values for the powers? How much of an impact is this projected to have?
Also, I'm assuming the table is a list of separate tweaks to system CC values, right?

Well when the day arrives and the devs serve up The Changes™, on that fateful day I will be
So that's why I saw pigs flying a while ago
Its like 60 or 70 CC, so unless Winters is skint its not going to make that much of a difference. I pity the Power who is going through a controlled (or not) turmoil though when this change goes through when the margins are small and a few CC here or there can mess things up.
Indeed.. Nice to see changes... but it says something about how much Frontier has abandoned Powerplay over the years when we're celebrating a bug fix to a Powerplay formula.Well when the day arrives and the devs serve up The Changes™, on that fateful day I will be

Hello! Sorry I'm straddling this and the fatch coats preparation so forgive me if I waffle a bit weird but will do my best to clarify:Remember it was "fixed" in 2019 or so and then reappeared against a year ago or so. Fingers crossed it is gone for good!
Anyway, really happy that PP bugs are getting addressed. Fdev loves us
May the galaxy bless Dav and Dan, but after an afternoon of them being so good as to educate my little fried brain mass on this further, we're confident that everything has been recalculated optimally to cover everything there.
Oh gosh, no worries! o7
