How to get Prismatic Shields quickly in powerplay 2.0

I found all kinds of info on how to do it before 2.0, but I'm having trouble finding this for 2.0. Where can I see a list of the modules in the order and w/the merit requirements for each power? I was able to see this kind of in game before pledging, but I pledged to Felicia and now I can't see the perks and modules other powers (or even she) offer.

I assume some power has the prismatics coming first, and that's who I'd need to pledge to, but I can't figure any of it out.

Thanks for your help!
 
Aisling Duval still gets Prismatics first but that might not be the quickest way to get them for you personally.

The reason is that you get a 50% bonus for doing the Power's preferred activities, so if you didn't like Duval's preferred activities (or they happened to be inefficient) you might be able to get to a higher rank with a different Power quicker.

So for Aisling Duval, Prismatics are rank 34 (247000 merits). The other three Imperial Powers get them at rank 50 (375000 merits) which is about the same amount of actual work if you want to earn those merits by doing an activity they prefer but Duval doesn't. All non-Imperial Powers get them later than that ... Winters gets them fairly early still at rank 57 (431000 merits) so if you like Winters' preferred activities and have already earned 60,000 merits or more, you might actually be quickest sticking with that.

Remember also that you unlock every module eventually, but your Power bonuses are what they are and unique to the Power, so in the long term (i.e. if you have enough Prismatics stockpiled or repurposible to last a couple of months of new ships) you might be better picking your Power based on those and not worrying about the module taking slightly longer in the short term.

There's a full list of the bonuses (and the ranks required) at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...joRUgECLIyMw/edit?gid=711782600#gid=711782600
- Rank Rewards provides a summary of the unlock order for the modules, and the other bonuses provided at rank 100
- the individual Power tabs show the full progression of each bonus

(You can see this for your own Power in the Powerplay interface, but not for others, and the spreadsheet is a more compact presentation anyway)
 
i have pris shields i no longer use they are so slow to charge and need power,handy i suppose one a large ship,but i find my my engineered bi weave do a better job all round, wish you luck anyway .it should be a long haul to get since the old pp has gone.
 
Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Great spreadsheet, BTW. This is for a Cutter shield tank for Thargoids, else I would not bother ><
You've all given me great info to work with. Thanks again!

Edit: Based on the sheet, ALD may be the way to go for me with the bounty hunting bonus. But Aisling is 100K merits less. Will have to figure out which one I do. thanks again!

Since you can earn up to 100k merits per hour, you can unlock prismatics with any power within day or two I suppose. Its called FDEV balancing.

You mean total POWER. But the distributor (PD) is the opposite. I have Prisma charging with 1 point, but for Bi you need at least 3 points.

Previously you did nothing and in a month you got the module you needed, now you have to work hard to get even 1 module in force.

Whoa, 100K per hour? Please share how! I did all the weekly tasks and they did some extra stuff but got only 28K or so. Still trying to get validated on the ALD discord, maybe they have info there. I don't really know how PP 2.0 works other than the basic things.

I dont think I have any right to make our power group tactics public. Although I do believe all power play groups must have now figured out a way or two that can earn these absolutely insane numbers. However if you wish to join Zemina Torval power play group (I can send you direct message with Discord invite), these tactics will be available for you in our server channels.

This is however no commercial for our power. Its more about FDEV producing PP 2.0 with a 100 rank reward ladder that all active guys basically fully unlocked within 1 cycle because its absolutely NOT balanced.

Personal merits? Seriously?

You have full right to be. However Im only rank like 28 or whatever, as I was originally doing rares and now I do bounty hunting (for fun, its really poor merits per hour). I plan to go from 28 to 100 this weekend to have it over with.

EDIT: Plans change, will not have time this weekend. Just editing the post so people don´t accuse me of lying when my rank will barely change. The previous statements still stand.
