Powerplay Powerplay Guides

Arkadi · Feb 9, 2017

Since I already have done extensive web-search on powerplay, I can as well share these guides I found with the community. I hope these links can be useful for people interested and new to powerplay or for people wanting to get deeper into the matter. They certainly helped me to understand powerplay better. Here you go:

Changelog 2.3.0 - regarding powerplay

Edward Lewis said:
[...] Powerplay
• Change powerplay pirates and security ships to only interdict if they will then go on to attack after scanning
• Changes to legality of attacking ships and Powerplay:
- Previously ships could legally attack each other if the attacker shared the same superpower as the power of the current system, and the target was pledged to a power of a different superpower.
- Now, we restrict this so that the attacker has to be the same power as the system.
- Also, we add an alternative to being different superpowers if the attacker is the same power as the system. If the target is of a different power from the attacker (but potentially now of the same superpower), is carrying powerplay cargo for the system's power, and the attacker has cargo scanned the target and knows this, then the attack is legal
• Fix to prevent text truncating on the Powerplay help scrollbar

Edited, and i think it might be worth a sticky.

Arkadi · Feb 9, 2017

Thank you Agony

I hope it will be of use for some. I'll add more guides, if you guys point me to more good stuff.

Another guide for you:

Thank you!

It's formula fake, true fromula: overhead = min(62.1, 0.0205*CS²)
