Prismatic Shield Generator - what happens if you unpledge allegiance

[Alpenniless]

I'm reading about the Prismatic Shield Generator

https://elite-dangerous.fandom.com/wiki/Prismatic_Shield_Generator

If you get one, then unpledge, do you get to keep it ? or risk being attacked more ?

Can one pledge / unpledge / pledge again.. just curious.

 

[Factabulous]

Yes, yes, yes.

That was easy

 

[Marshall...]

You keep it! As with all Powerplay items.

It goes rogue, creating a contracting ball of force that crushes your ship and turns you into paste.

Actually no, you just keep it but can't buy any more (unless you re-pledge and wait another 4 weeks etc). So it's a good idea to buy several.

If you defect from one Power directly to another (which would let you carry some merits across IIRC), that makes you unpopular with your previous Power temporarily. But if you simply unpledge, wait a bit, and then pledge elsewhere maybe a day later, that's fine. And you can safely keep your toys.

They send repo guys to uninstall it when you're logged out.

I ran away to Colonia. They'll never find me there. And BigMäc is really quick on the trigger.

It self destructs in a blinding flash of blue haired, impossibly naive light.

Haha.. I hide my hardisk after logging out

I just unlock Lei Cheung and the G5 Shield Generator is a big boost compared to Elvira Martuuk's G3. Still cant' match to wing of 3 at the Haz Res...
