Powerplay is to Elite Dangerous, what the Phantom Menace is to Star Wars...

Agree Cmdr +1

 

[Tinman]

Disagree Cmdr -1

EDIT: Just to clarify...nothing is that bad!

Hey! I love Powerplay!!!

Wait a minute, I mean curry. It's curry I love. Never mind, carry on.

Begs the Question: Who of the Powerleaders is Jar-Jar?

 

[Rich H]

Let's hope we don't have ED updates that can be compared to Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith, either. One turkey is enough, thanks.

Replace powerplay with curry and you got a great game.

10/10 - Would curry again

Oh, sweet hell on toast... I hope you've not just jinxed us all, SlackR. Two more instalments in a Powerplay trilogy?!

I tried it for a while. I guess it's just not me.
Maybe if there's more depth and interesting power play based missions added later then I'll give it another go, but on the plus side at least you can just leave power play and go back to playing how you prefer.

I prophesise that the next power to rise will be lead by a Tier 1 NPC looking uncannily like Hayden Christensen.

Aisling of course. Gives the whole modern media junky youth a person to relate to.

Aisling of course. Gives the whole modern media junky youth a person to relate to.

That's plainly insulting towards poor old Jar-Jar. I'd wish I could join Jar-Jar to collect my prismatic shields instead of Aisling, but alas, FD want me to...

Jar-Jar has more personality than all of them put together.

Elite : Dangerous is the best space sim out there and is ahead of its time in so many ways

I genuinely enjoy PP. It's a moot point, of course, as it's not going anywhere. To anyone who doesn't like it: don't participate. Simple.

As im sure some people liked that movie. You are right to say "dont play it" just as people say "dont watch phantom menace" but its a part of the thing you love. You cant just pretend it doesnt exist because it represents a particular direction the game is going in that takes time away from the direction you want it to be heading in. Like most things in life... Its just not that simple.

heh, you need to let them watch star wars before they're old enough to spot the ludicrous script & plot holes!!

I like E : D, but then I liked Elite too - It's amazing how long you can spend running computers from Zaonce to Leesti ... I'd hoped E: D would be a step up. Still hoping.

 

[Danger Mouse]

It's gonna be great ...

Powerplay is more like return of the jedi , overall amazing storie with one or two issues (burp jokes and ewoks)
the phantom menace is star citizen

Except that's not begging the question, or circular reasoning.
