Powerplay - Player Guide

Greetings Commanders,


What started out as a single flow chart in an attempt to understand the Powerplay cycle (Slide/Page 7), turned into a behemoth of a project in a few days.


I was going to spend more time on this, but Frontier caught us all on the hop and released this evening. I will add more to it when I get chance and update the rather low-res photos of most of the powers as well as a whole bunch of other stuff I've thought of but not got round to. A lot of text and photos are hyper linked, so hover and click if you feel the need. Suggestions, comments etc. are welcome. If there's anything wrong, then MEH! Let me know :)


Moderators feel free to link elsewhere if you wish. I will update this thread when I make changes, but obviously stuff tends to sink after a while, so I'll also do 'patch notes' on the document itself.

Great collection of info there. Although it seems the game is missing half of it atm :(
Does anyone know which factions are allied/hostile to each other?
If I join a faction which other factions can I still travel in freely?
I am hostile does that prevent me from docking at stations?

To the latter question i can assure you, that you will still be able to dock at a station,
even if it is hostile towards you.
But be aware, the Security ships will hunt you.

Is it me.. or in Beta we can read on witch faction provides what special tool or weapon we can purchase.. Now,, im like... ummm said so in Beta now im looking and Nothing.. anyione know whats going on.. i really want to go after the better shields for my python.. but now im juts plain lost.

the tool in the game seems to not tell anything about witch power provides what faction .. so did they get rid of them..

i have tons of Credits banked.. i really have no intrested in a power that cant provide upgrades so its hard for me to choose. i dable in eveything except pirating.

If there's anyone with a good grasp of how to actually *play* Powerplay and wants to submit anything to the guide they think will be of use, please drop me a message and I'll put it in the guide :) I suspect people (like myself!) are having problems with the finer details of what to do and how it works!

You got Hudson's age wrong. It's 83, not 72. Winters is 72. Aisling's age is missing; she's 25. As is Edmund Mahons; he's 114. Li Yong-Rui is 103. Archon Delaine is 52. Pranav Antal is 76.

MUCH better! A very useful guide that I think will become a vital resource in the days and weeks to come - the way Powerplay was explained in game may have actually left me more confused afterwards, but your guide has cleared up a lot of things. Have some rep.
