Navy Ranking and PowerPlay

Ive done it.. I have defected.. Left Hudson and now in Empire Space... Its time to seriously buckle down and get my Empire Navy ranking up, and its a good time to finally get my imperial hammers...

Now, I cant find ANY charity missions in empire space, so have given up.. Shadow smuggling is fine, but really the amount of time you need to dedicate to this, you may as well do quickie jobs in your local area... Also, I am completely over PowerPlay, but have to get back involved again to get my hammers... And it got me thinking...

We really should tie in PowerPlay to Naval Progression... I mean, think about it..

Your doing work for your factions political and influential gain, and this should directly reflect in your naval ranking.

I think every 25 points of Powerplay should equal to around 1% in naval progression (around rank 7)

This would get people actively involved in PowerPlay and help those who dont want to have to kill Civvies all the time something else to shoot at instead...

What do you guys think?

Whoa now Jones, slow down a little bit. You just suggested that PP be useful in some way and have a purpose!

Don't think they cotton to that kind of thing around these parts. You keep that up, someone may try to stretch yer neck some. :D

All joking aside, it would be nice if there was something about PP that made it worth participating in, beyond a few ship mods here and there.

I have been waiting for quite some time for someone to suggest something that makes PP something that I would actually consider participating in, and this seems to me to e the closest thing to that.

You sir, are repped, as are you Vindicator Jones.

Seriously, how cool would that be?

I like your ideas, though I don't necessarily agree with all points. I find Power Play fascinating myself, but it seems that a lot of folks are mostly interested in merit grinding by Undermining. This is the most inexpensive way to gain Rank as far as I know. So by tying Naval Rank directly to merits, it would promote even more merit grinding. And it may increase your Naval Rank too quickly. But I do like the spirit of the thread.

Lore-wise, I disagree; the Navies of both powers should be neutral and above the petty politicking that is PowerPlay.

It would allow you to do 2 "end game" grinds at once. Not going to happen.

Ummm, not really... Federation Factions would only increase Federation Naval Ranking and vice versa...

you could make it even more interesting. The more Naval Ranking PP points you get with Federation Factions make you loose Empire Naval Ranking... Now that would make things interesting.

How is gaining merits and the rewards for having those merits, then adding Faction Rank on top of it and the rewards for having that rank not tackling 2 grinds at once? "Ummm.. Not really"? It's exactly what it would be doing.

I'd love it, but that's clearly not how they want the game to be designed. If it isn't a long slog, it's not Elite.
