So we have faction modules - super secret modules that no other spy in the universe can find and rebuild somewhere else.

We can get them at Rank 3 and 750 influence after 4 weeks.

Great, then what?

Can we ALWAYS get them at rank 3 after that? Is it an unlock? Or do we have to regain rank later on to rebuy them?

What happens if a faction is indeed wiped out - the tech is now lost forever or out in the open market?

Why cant I SELL the darn design to another faction after defecting and gain a nice monetary reward, a boost to standing and who knows, buy BOTH factions modules after that.

The entire module fiasco should have been designed differently.

Might as well have tied it to hi-tech corporations in the game and we would have to work to get a good standing with them - just like getting Baron rating for the Imperial Clipper.

I too am wondering if we get to keep the unlocked equipment after you either defect or leave the faction. Mostly, I'm wondering if we are still allowed access to purchase the equipment after leaving/defecting from a faction. Is it unlocked for good (One can hope..)? Unlocked only while being a part of the faction (I feel like this is the answer)? Unlocked for a temporary time after leaving the faction?

This is, of course, assuming you have reached Rank 3 or higher and been with the faction for 4 weeks. I'm sure this has been answered, but I just don't have the energy to read through 1,500 posts to find the answer...I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to share this information or maybe point me to the right thread. I'm afraid to leave the faction until I know for sure.

Thanks guys,

EDIT:
I found this thread in Google, which is why I'm not posting in the Powerplay Discussion section. :)

You get to keep the module after purchase, even after defecting. But you will not be able to buy more of it unless you are aligned to the issuing power, have been in that power for 4 weeks, and are rank 3 with that power.

1) You do not lose the module if you don't sell it.

2) You need to currently be rank 3 to buy it, while being allied with the power it comes from, and have been pledged to that power for a minimum of 4 weeks.

Not sure what happens if/when a faction is wiped out.

You also can't sell the design.

Important to note that after 1.4 will be released any power module will be only available on the specific power space (e.g no more prismatic shields at 15% discount over at Li Yong-Rui)
Plan your purchases before...

Faction module availability goes by a set of questions:

1) Are you pledged to the power that has this module?
No? No module for you.
Yes? Good, move on.
2) Have you been pledged to the power for 4 weeks or more?
No? No module for you.
Yes? Move on.
3) Is your current rating 3 or higher?
No? No module for you.
Yes? You can buy the module.

Let's say you're aligned with ALD and you have access to the Imperial Hammer. You will always be able to buy it in any station, anywhere, including enemy Powers' space, as long as the station offers outfitting.

In fact, all stations in the galaxy that offer outfitting also have an infinite stock of all PP modules from all Powers.

One might conclude then that the designs aren't really a well-guarded secret.

Yes, you keep the modules you have bought already, but you won't be able to buy new ones after defecting or leaving the faction.
