Open-Only in PP2.0?

[Nowski]

NPCs don't vanish at 1% health, invalidating the effort destroying them and the influence gain.

Why should players be able to do that,

Because the consequences of trying to legislate it are worse.

when that gain is what drives PP? Open needs less holes to make that outcome be 'valid'.

It is de-facto "valid", even if you don't like it (or me either, but that's beside the point.) If it bothers you that much, then adjust your playstyle. Don't play in Open? Maybe add a few severe cases (I can't imagine this "1% quit" playstyle is really popular) to your blocklist, etc., where your supervenient ruleset permits it?

Nope, Mommy Duval and the other power still have their bonus to bonds however

They can start by making combat actually meaningful- its not 'making it worse' by (for example) deleting cargo / merits when someone quits during combat, which is a 'loss'. Otherwise, fighting between players is pointless because the rules are porous.

pp2.0 Space po po at an outpost gave streamer a bit of trouble, made them jump out

Incremental bonuses instead of the 100% and done in V1.

So as you go up the ranks the bonuses get closer to 100%.

He flew too close, really. Normally you either zoom shoot or be far away to provoke security like that.

Given that most PvP (combat) oriented players prefer non-cheesy play (right?) this seems a little overstated. So your custard has a lump or two, does it mean you can't enjoy dessert?

In the wider game its fine, because there is nothing higher at stake. In Powerplay, that activity matters.

I wish this guy streaming would go to a rival stronghold.

Every Power ship is orange. My fav colour

Cheers. I get he's coming at this as a commoner but dear Brabus its frustrating wanting a structured playthrough

And no FC concourse

If mechanics were changed to enforce your version of "fairness" then other, worse, practices would be more likely to emerge, it seems to me. The question of which is worse - a bit of lumpy custard or an arms race at the custard factory - is a subjective one I think.

I don't see how, given you have access to other modes.

no FC concourse on the stronghold ship is odd. No on foot weapon or suit pp2.0 upgrades then. No seeing the livery inside of the stronghold ship

 

[Rubbernuke]

Aaaaaand hes back to prison.

Saying that its something that can be added later I suppose, and that we do have our own FCs too.

Well, you are the person arguing that players will choose Open and then employ nefarious means to skew the result? I'm just saying that player creativity when it comes to nefaring is a resource that's hard to exhaust (without wanting to get into specifics)
