Unless you make powerplay open only then it’s a failed game mechanic and should be scrapped as all it does is negatively impact the bgs.
You can’t put lipstick on this pig

Sorry for a response that isn't gushing, but are you going to look at doing some work to powerplay to make it any better?Greetings Commanders.
This may come as a slightly sudden but hopefully not too unhelpful a shock to you all, but coming along with the next updates for Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Horizons this week, we will be making a small number of tweaks to Powerplay.
Here's an outline below of what you can expect:
Changes To Powerplay
- The process where control of a starsystem is lost by revolt now correctly accounts for income already provided to competing control systems.
- Income values will be updated for many control systems so that they are the sum of their own income PLUS all the systems they currently exploit.
- Income from the week is expected to change.
Why The Changes?
As several Commanders reported via the issue tracker (specifically https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/23052), when some control systems were lost to revolt, Powerplay didn't always correctly account for CC income changes to nearby control systems with overlapping spheres.
In particular, when the same Power had more than one control system claiming a given exploit system during revolt, Powerplay sometimes added that income again to the remaining control system, even if its income value already accounted for that exploit system.
Over time, this resulted in some powers having a higher CC income than the sum of their control and exploit systems.
Update 7 and the Horizons update fixes this logic, and also adjusts the galaxy's income values for the affected control systems, as described in this table:
Control System Power CC income pre-update7 CC income after update7 Change in income Ashtart Edmund Mahon 39 31 -8 Binjamingi Felicia Winters 104 82 -22 Fousang Felicia Winters 70 54 -16 Erivit Felicia Winters 59 51 -8 Mexicatese Felicia Winters 64 58 -6 Kanati Felicia Winters 103 96 -7 LP 906-9 Felicia Winters 94 82 -12 54 G.

Certainly appreciate that this may be coming in a little hot ahead of the forthcoming updates this week, as I say, but we really hope this helps!
Really excited to share the full update notes finalised for you and welcome in Update 7 for Odyssey, along with the Quality Of Life update for Horizons on all platforms very soon!
o7 Commanders.
Stance 'training' for appearing/competing at Agriculture Shows.... bloody cruel! .... just so the poor goat presents well!!What the hell is going on here?

Something like meaningful player interaction would go a long way.
PP and BGS should be open only full stop.

The table literally is the answer you're looking for here![]()
Yes, PP and BGS shouldn't be affected by people hiding in the background doing what they want.This old chestnut.
Well, having been involved since cycle 1, that's good but belated news.I actually already answered this in response to Rubbernuke earlier.
Nowhere in my notes says this is the 'be all end all', this is just a taste of us listening and taking baby steps.

You don't seem to understand what the BGS is.PP and BGS should be open only full stop.
I don't understand? Why don't you explain itYou don't seem to understand what the BGS is.
But powerplay could be open only if console players didn't have to pay extra to play in that mode.

It has had no real attention for many years, which is a real shame. Almost as if Frontier have given up on it.
I appreciate what you're doing though.
BackGround Simulation.I don't understand? Why don't you explain it![]()
Happy to be proven wrong!Ok well, entirely up to you whether you feel encouraged or not (I understand why you might want to remain sceptical) but we move o7
I have no interest in what you're saying so we'll leave at that.BackGround Simulation.
Everyone and everything has an effect on it, regardless of mode, platform, timezone etc.
The only mistake FDEV made with it is that it is all too finicky.
