Powerplay In which mode do you powerplay, and what would you do if Sandro's Open only bonus came in?

[Agony_Aunt]

Yes, its poll time ladies and gentlemen. Largely worthless, but usually fun, and i'm sure there will be a trademarked missing option in there as well.

But it keeps coming up, that powerplay should get a bonus for open, or even open only, and then of course the regular complaints about 5C activities going on etc.

But we have no stats for how many people play in which mode, and what would the effect be of an open only bonus on the modes people play in.

So, let the voting commence!

And let's see what conclusions we can draw from this!

 

[Jane Turner]

I have only ever played PP in open apart from slipping into solo to dock at a busy station

 

[CMDR John Casey]

I've only ever played the game in open, it's how I feel it's meant to be.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

Well, the results are in! 100% of voters say they play powerplay in Open!

Guess that ends all arguments about the need for an open bonus

Ok ok... 1 person voting does not constitute a valid poll.

 

[Ian Phillips]

It's because you have placed the poll on an open forum.

You need a version for the non-open forums to allow those players to see it

inb4 Indirect PvP gets accused of being a term horrible gankers and griefers made up to explain the problems with powerplay mechanics.

 

[Perseus]

Open for me. PP brings competitive and cooperative gameplay in one juicy package.

 

[Schlack]

What would I do? Be disadvantaged in any contribution I make to a power because of a terrible internet connection.

 

[bigity]

I do most things in Open, but do use Group/Solo when I am idling for PP resources (why tie up a platform for someone else), and when I am distracted - say before kids go to bed and I'm trying to fly a ship somewhere for a purpose later on).

I do my power play stuff in Open, and especially would after any bonus for the power.

 

[Roybe]

It will not change the way I play at all.

Missing option: I'm not playing Power Play

 

[bigity]

Then you probably should ignore the powerplay area of the forums then.

 

[EUS]

Choice not given in poll; I play(ed) all modes, and nothing will change this.

 

[Alexander the Grape]

Yeah, you have no option for "I play in Open when it suits me, and group/solo when it suits me"

 

[ever]

open for ever

 

[the100thmonkey]

1. Open.
2. Enjoy the bad idea.

 

[Marra Morgan]

Open and will continue to do so.

Don't really care what mode other people use.

[pantbash]

I mix and match Open/Solo at the moment.
Mostly just through laziness rather than any particular need to avoid PvP.

I welcome the change to Open for PP, it is needed.
I would then stay exclusively in Open for all PP activities.

 

[znôrt]

i will keep playing what suits me best at any moment.

but i think the full game should be open only, optionally with a completely separate solo mode. mixing solo and open simulations just doesn't make any sense.
