Powerplay Problem with Undermine

Robinus · Jan 21, 2019

Hello Pilots!

I tried to work for A.L.Duval undermining the younger princess.

I read HOW TO UNDERMINE:

And after some fun pirate actions, I bring these material to A.L.Duval CONTROLLED SYSTEMS:

But I can not leave them anywhere. I tried in controlled systems, even in the capital of Power.

Getting merit by an ordinary pouf-pouf is terribly boring ...

Any ideas what I do wrong?

Well, that explains:
1) How portions of PP are screwed up and not working properly, or
2) How well organized Ms. Duval actually is.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Maybe it is fate giving you a hint, if the treason warnings weren't, that you should perhaps go undermine the Federation?

It's a straight up bug. I encountered the same thing with the "piracy undermine" merits - they simply could not be redeemed sometimes. It was not expired due to weekly tick, or anything like that. Just broken. This was 3.2 in my case.

One of dozens of awful flaws in PP that made me quit it entirely. Don't bother trying intra-power undermining, it's just a joke.

yeah...undermining is done by shooting enemy power ships to smithereens and then turning in the merits. Nothing has to be hauled.

Fed v Fed or Imp v Imp power undermining is done via the NPC piracy mechanic, except with added bugs

Sadly it is. They didn't remove it, they just let the bugs grow to the point it's even more unusable than before.

But if you spend hours on it, and RNG god blesses you with a bug free cash in, you can get like 50 merits. What a deal!

They nerfed it to near-death as it was originally easier to do than proper UM'ing but left it in. I personally wouldn't mind if it was gotten rid of.

I see, thank you. Too much of a potent weapon for self turmoiling I guess as well.

That's what we used it for in LYR, much easier to load up forts and drop them to your friends, all it really required was a little time and loads of cash.
