Not saying a word Vladimir. Lol.
This is almost precisely what you might expect to hear from some D-list has been celebrity being pulled up for DUI. *Shudder*
Yes, one of those was me infiltrating your group to find out what you know about my group
We've just had 3 newbies join us since this thread started too, maybe they're hedging their bets.
Do you know who I am?
The answer to this question is usually: my father/uncle is an important man!!!!
hahaha int the words of the now: this is of great irrelevance..... still funny to read though... haha

Maybeeeeeeeeee.
Fellow Maquis Revolutionsists!
If you wish to earn your Raider, do so in support of Denton Patreus. The other three Imperial powers are the knowing or unknowing pawns of the Mahon regime and are to be avoided unless specific mission parameters dictate it necessary.
Thank you.

Not from my intel, but if the Mahon manipulation extends to the whole Imperium, then we'll find out soon enough.
The only PP leaders I dislike are Antal, Delaine, and Grom. Just look at 'em, what a bunch of nerds. Point & laugh everybody.
As for the actual powerplay business and all that, I couldn't care less. I'm just pimpin' myself out to different powers for their special spaceship parts.
You guys think I'm with Aisling Duval because I want to be? Pfffft.
Nah, trick, fork over dem shields

I shouldn't laugh too hard. These nerds are possibly the most ideologically extreme of all Power play. If you are a weaksauce Instagram fop Delaine will sell you into slavery, or his pilots turn you into Soylent White. Antal will make you change your mind faster than you could say Anthony Burgess, whether you want to change it or not. Grom will know your browser history, and then you'll be in trouble...

The only powerplay treaty Patreus is signed to is the ZYADA treaty. Before that, the only power Patreus had a treaty with was yours.

Calrissian> so when is all this rage going to translate into anything? Looks like another happy day in the Alliance:
No treaty has ever been done with Patreus.
They are just the only power that has consistently kept their neutrality towards us true in their actions instead of just words and has never been any real tension with at least once in the past.
Nice to hear that you are 4 now. 3 more and you are legally allowed to go shopping.
This is in part because of a lot of the space where Mahon expanded to have no alliance factions to work with. I dream of an ingame mechanism to turn the indy or fed factions located there to Alliance but the game doesn't allow it.
One thing I would like to see implemented (even retroactively) is PowerPlay control systems ensuring that there will be at least one faction of the Power's allegiance (i.e every Mahon control system has a minimum of one Alliance faction). Could be done by either generating one or more likely simply copying the closest such faction into the control system.
That way PowerPlay gets to play a bit more of an important role in the BGS, and it'd help shape the political universe. ALD would have dragged an Empire faction into Beta Hydri for example, which would make for a very interesting situation, as that's one of the Federation's founding systems.
It'd make the weaponized expansions more interesting as well, as with a bit of luck you can put a faction that your target is weak against into their midst and expand it to weaken their triggers. I.e. Grom putting a Dictatorship into the middle of Hudson space to reduce his triggers.
By Alliance, do you mean you lack systems with corporate govs? I understand the RP aspect if not, but saying you don't flip because its not Alliance affiliated is a bit silly from a purely practical standpoint. Is it not better to flip and then think of the polish?
There are plenty of corps favourable to Mahon in Mahon controlled space, but few actual Alliance (Green) factions of any type. Way back when, it caused quite in a bit of tension in our group to flip some systems to Fed corps for the benefit of trigger values. Unfortunately the mechanics of Powerplay demand holding ones nose for a greater goal. We much preferred putting indy corps in place where possible.
It makes little logical sense that powerplay control has no effect on control/exploited systems. Surely being within a sphere of influence should allow factions to change allegiance, over a reasonable period of time and based on player activity. I would hope that FD consider this when then long awaited powerplay revamp is implemented. To me at least that would provide a large measure of the BGS integration to PP that is currently lacking.
