Will Engineers update make powerplay more redundant?

I've been aligned with Aisling Duval for over a year but only because I thought I'd get those Prismatic shields if I grind enough merits. I could never be bothered with that though and now that we can craft our own materials/weapons etc with the release of the engineers update, I've left Aisling Duval and won't bother with powerplay at all now unless it improves.

I know a lot of people do powerplay for the control of systems and for their power etc but a lot also powerplay just for the rewards of better weapons/shields etc.

Will powerplay get enough love in the coming year to get/keep more people involved or will the engineers update push it even further back on the things to do list? I just think it seems a shame that this was a major update when it came out and ended up being a major disappointment and now with the engineers update it may not factor at all in a lot of people's play.
 
With the Debate on RNG, with the Prismatic shield as the example, you always know exactly what you are getting & how to get it.

There was talk of Power Play associated engineers in the future as well.

If a player is just joining Powerplay for the reward, then them having an alternative route to get modules that may or may not have similar effects wont really effect the Cmdrs in PP who are not just in it for the rewards.

I wonder if Powerplay modules will be able to be upgraded with the 2.1 Engineer modifications...
