Powerplay Beta - Change Log

[Wolf]

I totally understand it has to be coded in the game in a points and cycles kind of way to work. But I don't want to know about that!
Reading the document just spoiled so much for me, and the powerplay map with their symbols ruin a lot of the realism the game could have, if politics and influence would not be displayed in simplified icons but just with the effects those mechanics have.

Now the game feels like a round of Risc or Diplomacy. "I deploy 25 armies to Achenar, Sol has only 10 armies hahah!"
It just doesn't feel right.

But hey, I can just ignore all these "strategy game" addons and still enjoy the best space simulation with some action around!

That's the nail on the head! It is like Risk, a game that I suck at I might add. Maybe that is why I don't like this add-on? It seems they have interpret depth as complexity. 'It must be really deep if it is this complex' type of thought process. But in reality it is just confusing and, unless you are really into the whole strategy stuff, PowerPlay adds nothing to the game.

All I want is to be able to go with a power and them just give me missions on things they need me to do. 'Hay we need you to smuggle these documents into this system so we can find out if it is worth taking over', 'Go to this system and help out with the battle in sector 45 by 23 by 98'. I don't care about the strategizing, just tell me where you need me and what you want doing!

Couldn't agree more. Let's see what the beta 4 brings....

Well, I hope you guys make these points on the official forum, because I doubt the devs will find them here.

I rarely make comments in the official forums as all you get is "Next your want a kill-all button nuhahaha". You can't make opinions there like that without being hounded that all you want is to make it easier etc. How it always seems to be to me anyway Why I like being here, you can express an opinion and have a reasonable debate about it. Even if people don't agree they seem to accept your point of view without judging you or forcing theirs as the only way

Yes. But sometimes I think they should come over and have a quick look at our forums. Pretty brilliant contributions here! Or if only just to see how a community can work without all the barking and shouting.

Oh they should, definitely!

Can someone in the Beta do me a huge Favour?

Can you double check the Headquarters for the the 4 Imperial PP Characters? I am thinking my list I made based on some pics posted to reddit may be off.

This is what I have:

► Show Spoiler

Arissa Lavigny-Duval, 58, Senator - KAMADHENU
Zemina Torval, 124, Senator - SYNTEINI
Denton Patreus, 47, Senator - EOTIENSES
Aisling Duval, 25, Princess - CUBEO

Nope.....

[Loriath]

Thanks Kharma

[Cmdr Kharma]

Not sure I like this powerplay......I'll prob give it a miss in the real game.....

Not really my cup of tea......

Good thing with "Action" allocation....That's the 10 tonnes per half hour at rank 1....

Is if you have sthg to do around the house...Fire up elite and just sit on the pad...Go do what you gotta do and come back every half hour and get another 10....

That's what I'm doing at the mo...Whilst checking my emails and looking at stuff on ebay.....

Extreme pad hogging........
