Powerplay Power Play Ideas: Everybody has them, Here are mine

Merits
The only reason why players earn merits is to unlock ranks that will unlock rewards. Why not have merits act as a currency? Players could earn merits and use them to buy power play modules, ships, paint skins and decals.

I think that players should also get merits for destroying power play ships no matter what system they are in. If I protect my powers home system I should get a few meits

Players should also get merits for desorying other commanders allied with a hostile faction. Power play is about consenual pvp


Interdictions
Can you please tone down the NPC interdictions and make them more meaningful? I get interdicted by 7 factions every time I am in spuer cruise. Often times it's when I am trying to help my wing mate in a fight.

Lower the number of power play ships flying around in every system. The ones that are still flying around should be med/big ships with large jump ranges.

I don't want interdictions to be an annoyance. I want them to be a fun challange with a reward at the end.

Bonus
Remove the bonus you get from ranks and give them to systems. Powers can than fight over systems to get that bonus. I think this will create some fun gameplay that a lot of player groups will get envoled in.

That's actually something that hasn't been brought up until and it completely slipped my mind as well.

You don't even have to remove rating bonuses. Just allow powers to accumulate more passive bonuses through territorial control.

It reminds me of the campaign of Warlord's Battlecry II, where acquiring areas gave permanent bonuses to your troops. I like it. It will also solve the whole "not all powers are created equal" problem. Sure, not all of them are created equal according to FD, admitting they play favourites, but if they can at least become​ equal, everything changes.

the bonus idea is great, it will create more places to combat log :). On a more serious note, it will change the battlefield and create conflict. I like it.
