Powerplay Faction: Aisling Duval I'm new here - how can I buy my way quick to those Prismatics?

[Spiridon]

I've pledged yesterday, and I know the requirements: 4 weeks of service, Level 3.

I've read that your infuence/rank/whatever diminishes over the weeks, to prevent you to achieve Level 3 in the first week and then take an easy road to the end. So I plan to turn that around: mind my business elsewhere in ED, and return to the Beauty in the last week, to quickly make that Level 3.

I have ridiculous amounts of moneyz, ready to spend as much as needed, and can use any ship required for the task. I want to buy my way, not fight my way to the Prismatics.

Can it be done? And what do you suggest me to do three weeks from now? How to make that Level 3 quick?

The easiest way is to wait 3 weeks, do nothing, then buy you way to rank 3, then when they total it up at the end of week 4 you will unlock them.

Yeah, wait until week 3, fast track several tons of fortification media material from Cubeo and then go fortify somewhere. Prismatics use a ridiculous amount of power, just a warning. You'll have to give up high power weapons or go for weaker thrusters to fit them.

Corvette with 8A power plant has 36 total power output, of which 7A prismatics use 7.35, which is 20%. This is compared to 7A normal shields, which use 4.9, or 13.6%.

6A prismatics use 6.51, or 18%.

5A prismatics use 5.46, or 15%.

So overall, prismatics use a substantial amount of power. You'll be able to fir them on a Corvette, but you might have to make a few changes to your loadout, for example replacing C4 plasma accelerators with C4 gimballed cannons.
