    My play style is primarily to help me relax and wind down. Picking any power makes you an instant target of another power and this is not conducive to a very relaxing gaming session. This is why I probably will never participate in the Power play system. I hope that those of you who play the game primarily for excitement truly enjoy the new game play element.

      Glad I'm not alone in feeling like this. Also, I feel like we have no motivation to get involved either. I've never even heard one of these people speak, why on Earth would I 'pledge' to them? If they had some propaganda play over radio when we entered a controlled system I may be able to get to know an aspect of them, but that's probably better on a suggestions thread. The only consideration for me is which one I'll be able to do the quickest so I can get back to PROPER independent status.

    LYR's discount is still 15% whether you're pledged to him or not. His stronghold carriers are nice, though. Like Jameson Memorials with 15% discount all throughout his territory. You can even get Alliance ships there with discount despite them not being Alliance controlled.
    On that note, Mahon still gives 20% off of cargo racks and hull reinforcements (even if not pledged). Archer (replaced the other guy) now gives only 10% off on hardpoints if you're not pledged. The other guy gave 20% off on hardpoints even if not pledged. So I just get the hardpoints at LYR controlled systems.
    The outfitting screen will now indicate the discount and why you are getting it when you view the item. Except on certain types of items (nice polish, FDev). But the discount is still there if you check the normal cost and compare it to what's on screen.

    Haven't signed in in months but the whole PP incentive was always less than ideal. It starts, of course, with a build: "Oh, this build uses the adv. PAs." Pledge to power, wait two weeks, grind, wait another...done! Then another build: "Cytos are needed." Pledge to new power, wait two weeks, grind, wait another week..." Basically your allegiance is not dictated by any roleplay reasoning, they are strictly build related 😂 Want to be imp loyal? So much for grom bomb builds!

    Am I the only one that didn't do anything with the Thargoids at all? It just seems like an overly complicated and off putting side-quest that doesn't ultimately do anything different for you than fighting pirates, has no real introduction or explanation in terms of a mission or tutorial on the differences or a "get your feet wet" area with the new aliens, but requires you to make an entirely new and different engineered ship for it. It just seems... very counter intuitive as an event. Especially one that has lasted as long as it has. Or am I totally missing something?

  • @Cloudsifter
    @Cloudsifter 13 дней назад +4

    *sigh* Li Yong-Rui offers a 15% discount to EVERYONE, not 20%!
    The hidden bonus for his members is that the stronghold carriers - which sell all ships/weapons (save for Fed/Imp rank locked vessels) - also get that 15% discount. So if you pledge to him, you have the equivalent of multiple Jameson Memorial stations with a better discount.
    Also the exploration bonus is listed as going up to 100% at max rank. Though perhaps it is 50% at rank 50, which seems to be the cutoff for you video.

    2. If I rise in rank are opposing security ships going to attack me while I'm just pottering around? In other words, would I be needlessly making the universe smaller for myself?

      You will only be attacked by opposition powers in their stronghold systems. All other systems are good to go. As for benefit, I would say look at your normal game play and find a power that is going to reward you with more credits for doing that activity. And all of them significantly reduce your rebuy costs if destroyed and your the right rank

    PP2 is crap. No commander who's been exploring or just playing the game at their own pace will like PP2. Why would you want to restrict yourself from most of the bubble. And then been attacked randomly anytime you go to another enemy controlled system. Yeah, no thanks ED 🙄

      You're mixing up the beta test period with the release version.
      The only place you'll run into trouble is in enemy *stronghold* systems, nowhere else.
