Is there a prize involved? So we have a limit to the number of tries we can make? We must know the answer to these questions!

Man, that thread and the other ones had so peacefully died down... You guys had to revive it, didn't you. Now it is going to go all over it again from the beginning.

This is the Way of the Forums. It's a neverending yet inevitable circle of life, death and resurrection.
We're all trapped here. Forever. Accept it. Get comfy.
Are you saying I can never leave?

I saw the original post - seemed to be referring to the "broom-cupboarded" nature of this thread, swept to the corner to keep it out of the popular areas of the forum.
It also referred to the cyclical nature of the discussion and debating tactics used to divert from substantive points.
He's right you know.
Arghh another nice thread shutdown
Yeah, back here again. Tut. It's homely though...
Time to clean some dust here

Do you participate in powerplay?...do you even understand what you're replying to?
I really don't understand why this is so difficult. Forget BGS, that's not the issie, it's powerplay that needs fixing.
The bulk of the activity in powerplay involves 1)Undermining opposition fation's system while 2)Defending your control systems from being undermined.
So how do you perform action 2.(defend) when action 1.9undermine) is being performed by players in solo/pg? ...HOW?
Simple answer - the undermining materials being hauled need to be flagged such that they must be hauled in open only to count towards the undermining effort. If the hauler at any time changes game modes while hauling then the cargo gets tagged and no longer counts toward the undermining effort while every other aspect of the cargo remains the same. That means you can perform the undermining action in solo if you wish but the materials you haul should not count towards undermining. Simple as that.
...the reason I no longer participate in powerplay (and subsequently rarely ever even play the game any more) is no different to why I have no interest in watching a football game where the two teams play on separate pitches and the winner is determined by whoever kicks the most goals into an undefended goal, without the two teams ever interacting with each other. What's the point in that? well, that's exactly the game we have right now wrt powerplay.
