Simguru Pranav Antal is the leader of the Utopia movement, an organisation of scientists, engineers and spiritualists dedicated to improving society through technology and radical social engineering. His ideals of cooperation and innovation are reflected in our community.
We're dedicated to supporting our community members and ensuring everyone can help in a way they find fun, whether they're Harmless or Elite. It doesn't hurt that our pledges get bonuses to smuggling, government manipulation and bounty hunting!
ACTIVE AND FRIENDLY COMMUNITY
Our subreddit is one of the most active and organised Powerplay communities, but small enough that you can make your voice heard and really make a difference. We give clear objectives each week, but get them from the combined input of all our members.
Even if you're not sure you want to take the plunge, do drop in and say hi and see how we do things!
GUIDES AND SUPPORT
The powerplay rules can be a little arcane, which is why we maintain an index of
guides to walk you through every aspect of Powerplay in a concise, clear way. We even run a couple of training schemes to help new pilots learn the ropes.
Need to find a good mining, bounty hunting or outfitting site in our space? We'll point you in the right direction!
COMBAT-DRIVEN EXPANSION AND COMMUNITY BATTLES
Our power expands through special conflict zones rather than by shipping commodities. The forces of corruption and oppression can always find sellswords willing to defend their unjust rule, and it's up to us to pull them from their thrones!
When an important expansion comes up, the whole community converges there to form wings and participate in mass battles. Not only is this a lot more fun than shipping commodities, it's a great way to meet new Utopian friends and earn merits quickly.
SMUGGLER'S PARADISE
Utopia abhors the tools of social oppression like slavery and narcotics, but there are always those willing to pay through the nose to unscrupulous smugglers.
Our exploited systems not only give a 10% bonus on all goods sold on the black market, but high value goods like Progenitor Cells and Imperial Slaves are illegal in all our systems (even Anarchy ones with no cops to scan you!) so you can easily find a lucrative smuggling route.
THE ENFORCER CANNON
A triumph of Utopian engineering and creativity, our unique module, the Enforcer Cannon, is a small, fixed multicannon variant that deals huge amounts of damage with a seemingly bottomless ammo supply. Check it out in action
here.
BOUNTY HUNTING AND COMBAT BOND BONUSES
Pranav Antal brings peace and order to a historically lawless sector, and pays his top lawgivers handsomely to keep his disciples safe.
Both bounty hunting and combat bond payments are doubled for Rank 5 players.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
The ethos of Utopia dictates radical social change in order to promote equality and justice for all. More than any other power, we manipulate and change governments in our systems to lighten our workload.
Our in-game bonuses means that changing the influence of factions is much easier for us. If you like the idea of social engineering on a galactic scale, we're the power for you!
SUPPORTS EVERY PLAYSTYLE - MORE THAN JUST A GRIND
We engage in such a wide range of activities that we can find a use for any playstyle. Everyone from mercenaries to miners can all contribute, not just by shipping commodities!
We find useful roles for novice players, so they don't feel like their contribution is just a drop in the ocean but really see the difference they're making.
ROLEPLAYING AND LORE
We also like roleplaying and really appreciate those who write short fiction pieces and Galnet articles about the power. Each weekly update comes with a snippet of microfiction and we produce more short stories than any other power. Utopia is a new addition to the Elite universe, and much of its lore has been written by players!
Join us in creating a brighter future for humanity in Elite's most vibrant community!
