My predictions for 'Powerplay'

Powerplay will be here soon - and here are my predictions for what will be the 'new way to interact with the galaxy' as mentioned by FDEV:

1. We've had 'Wings' so I think the next logical step is player based factions. Possibly this will include the ability to pool credits and build at least a basic industrial outpost in a system - perhaps an inhabited one, perhaps an uninhabited or unexplored one.

2. The new diamonback ship will be aimed at mining. I was just looking at outfitting my T7 for mining, but with consumable drones plus controllers, none of the current ships seem to offer the right balance of cargo slots and agility to handle all the kit required plus the weapons to fend off pirates. I think the diamondback will have a lot of cargo slots plus be more agile than a T7 or T9.

Just my thoughts.
 
I predict that the "powerplay" will be the ability to play original 1984 "Elite" on the tablet thingy in your cockpit. You know, for long SC flights, like when exploring or going to Hutton Orbital...
 
A constant, persistent, 3 way war, with players choosing (near) permanent sides, and control of inhabited space changing hands constantly, depending on player actions, cg's, etc. There, problem solved.

Or it's Half-Life 3.
