PP bounties can be paid off at Interstellar Factions if that's what you mean, seems a bit of a cheat but there you go

edit: killing PP enemies doesn't get you a normal system bounty at all, just a PP one from the Power, if that's what you mean....shoot and kill away with impunity :)

AD is only expanding into 1 system this week I think, none last week I could see, dunno if she even does PP bounties for Merits I haven't found any just bounties on my head from the others, im on the way to that system to see but from the looks of it its just more pick up propaganda type mission. I wanted to do some bounties each week too rather than just dump millions 24 hours before unlock to build into gameplay just not sure AD will oblige.

Had a multi crew member the other day pledged to Delane. Im pledged to AD and saw one PP enemy, a Delane one, obviously didn't attack him but we both wondered how that would work? Must be some safeguard in place?

Let me give you a word of warning about those mining lances.

I had just 2 fitted on my T-9 miner (along with the size 2 I normally have fitted) and without lances she never, and I mean never, overheated during mining, but with those 2 fitted (in place of normal size 1's) I couldn't even burn through 1 full capacitor charge with only 3 pips in it. I was constantly having to 'nurse' my laser usage where before I'd just burn through the whole cap charge (with 4 pips in it). Made mining a bit of a chore TBH because I like to just point a click in a double panite ring and collect just about everything.

Just to let you know.

but if I want some fun too and go to a PP-CZ do I negate all the potential PP-bounty/crime-bounty considerations that seem to apply to killing hostile PP-ships in normal space? (I read a lot on this, but it was hard to tell what was bugs and what was current. All seemed ....er.... questionable, if not downright incomprehensible, from the viewpoint of encouraging participation in PP.).

If you go in a PP-CZ and pick a side, no crime is involved. You only get 10 merits per kill and that's all. No money, no bounty.
If you go in an enemy Control System and kill PP ships, you will get 30 merits per kill, but you will also get a bounty with that Power (No Notoriety tho). So after you do your thing you can go at an interstellar factor and pay your bounty.

Thanks for the comments.
Thought it would be an 'armies at war' type thing: shoot the opposition in uniform (other PP factions) would be ok, but not civilians - so to speak. (EDIT: Perhaps all NPCs are auto-enrolled in PP.).
Got it now. Seperate PP bounty you can pay-off. Seems this may be a change from the stuff I read following a google search.

How to get PP modules:
1- Pledge to power of choice
2- Wait three weeks
3- Accquire 750 merits by either*
3a) Hauling 750t fortifications from the capital of the power to a control systems. Take one that isn't completly fortified please, thats just a waste. You can fast-track these supplies (thats buying in PP-Speak) for 7.5MCr
3b) Destroy 75 hostile ships in a crime sweep (thats a PP-CZ) for 10 a piece. You can find these in expansions.
3c) Destroy 25 hostile ships out of a crime sweep for 30 a piece. You can find these in hostile control systems
4) At the end of cycle (thursday) you get promoted to rank 3, and if you have 4 weeks full you can buy
5) Buy as much as you think you will need. Store as much as neccesary. Remmember, big shields cost big money. Stockpiling prismatics can cost a billion.
6) Switch to the next power of your liking. You can keep everthing you bought, but you lose the ability to buy more at once.

Question:
If I obtain the 750 point the first week, do I have to do it again the third week?

Thanks for this thread. I pledged to the pale pirate to get cytoscramblers, and didn't want to "read the manual". I thought pledging would make me a bad outlaw, but PP life has been kind of boring. Now I have a few ideas how to spice it up 🏴‍☠️💥🔥(y)
