If there's to be some exclusive benefit to powerplay done in open play, have/will FDev conceive of measures to mitigate players getting that benefit without following the spirit of its conditions (blocking, intentional network manipulation, vpns, etc.)?
PP2 sounds like a most complex system, where you need need help developing and balancing properly. Why is Frontier missing a revenue making opportunity and not creating a PP2 Pay for early access Beta ? So the seasoned CMDR's can help you make this right on (Commander), first time and make a bit of money.
During PP v1, powers could be made unreasonably vulnerable to deep and damaging turmoils by detrimental fortification patterns during turmoil that would either be carried out intentionally by bad actors, or emerge from erstwhile idle pledges suddenly fortifying strongly in an uncontrolled or coincidentally perfectly detrimental way. This affected some powers more than others, for no fault of their own. If there is to be no territorial "reset", then is there some other way to redress the imbalances that have emerged, once PP2.0 is introduced?

If there is to be a territorial reset with PP2.0, then will those powers who stand to lose more from such a reset be somehow compensated for the unevenness of that?
One of the complaints about PP1.0 was that players knew for a long time about issues that impaired the system, but were not able to effect positive change through feedback. Will FDev carefully canvass feedback from the communities that emerge around PP2.0 and the community at large to iteratively improve the system, close loopholes, foil exploits, etc., for long enough to secure the system's future?
Will the system prevent tactical pledging in PP2.0 (or make it pointless)? I.e. switching pledge to better be able to damage an enemy or use another power as a pawn to further the one that has your true loyalty?
Will the players who don't pledge be able to ignore all the hullaballoo of Powerplay 2.0?
I am in a Powers Controlled system and there are Powers Capital Ships and Carrier Assets. What is a pledged CMDR going to be able see/access/do ? What is a other alligned power CMDR going ot be able to see/access/do ? What is a Non Power Play Pledged CMDR going to be able to see/access/do ?
Will current Power Play modules remain gated behind a pledge and rank system or be transferred to Tech Brokers?
