Rearm, repair and refuel costs are negligible, making them free is meaningless. He's a good choice if you're an explorer, but if you don't explore much his bonuses are pretty much useless. If your main money maker is mining then Nakato Kaine is the obvious choice, and if it's bounty hunting then Arissa or Archer are your power.
@@morebagels - NOT pledging has one massive benefit. You can go to any system you like, any time, *without* NPCs belonging to the controlling power attacking you on sight, simply for the crime of being pledged to a different power. And since said attacking NPCs are usually 'clean', not getting attacked means you also won't get fines and notoriety merely for defending yourself from them.
@@morebagels I have been attacked 3 times just leaving a starport in an opposing power. regular security wont do shit but power security forces try to kill the moment they complete a scan on you
Great summary, thx for the Video.hindsight is 20-20 based on Fdev and making Engineering easier over time, and since i am not an early adopter, i am with CMDR Mechan on this one. Give it some time...if it is anything like ED's history about 7 yrs down the line they will make PP 2 easier and i will participate then (to avoid the infinity grind-fest Fdev is known for), after the sheee is sorted out. Hopefully if we stil have servers running by then ofc.
@@juan-pierreleroux8323 yeah i grinded out so hard at the start abt 2 months ago like 300 hours but i realized it was all literally for nothing and eveything took hours to do, and basically everything u said lol
I tried this today - and the missions I have to complete are completely obtuse. I've picked up something and I'm supposed to deliver it somewhere. No bueno. I click the map - select a marked location - and unable to sell it there. I may as well fart in a handbag.
Haha. Same. You need to use the power and activity filter when using the power filter. I’m sure there will be quality of life updates, as we got with the Goid war UI.
Currently no, but there are on foot ways to support your power. I hope they continue to bridge the gap between on foot and in ship, on foot is fun for me, but it feels too disconnected. Like a separate game.
I was hoping that there would have been some new rep weapons when PP 2.0. I spent a few months last year getting all the Powers' modules. A lot of them are junk (cough cough MINING LASER!! cough cough)
the real question, can you keep the rank when leaving for another power or sad grind reset, or if you can keep the perks(profit bonuses mainly), cuz id do those and return to iwaifu if i could keep the bonuses?
Well...me, because this is the first major game-mechanic update since I left the game 3 years ago and I was looking for details. I left beacause of the grind the game requires and the "rank" system with the powers is just another grind on top of the massive the game already is. Good to see some changes, but hardly enough to make me install it again :/
@@FrendlyM Just a FYI they have changed a lot in ways of the grind. Very easy to get materials, less time wasted flying in system using the new SCO(supercruise overcharge).
@@hughey22 I have heard there were some changes to this and it is great for sure. However, I played long enough to have credits and materials to unlock and engineer the (I think) 6 ships I really wanted and I don't see a reason to unlock others because those I had could do everything I really wanted to do. The powerplay 2.0 would mean using those ships to do the same activities I had been doing before, only for different rewards. But what are the rewards useful for anyway? If I logged into the game, I think I would be looking at about 300M credits on my account. I can buy any modules and engineer them, so discounts on modules or buyback costs are really not interesting, increased payoffs are neither for the same reason. The update will be good for new players but I don't see what this update brings to the players who have 1000+ hours in the game. If they brought an update that would remove Solo play from the game, and thus would make it so that collective efforts in BGS cannot be undermined by someone untouchable in Solo. If they rebalanced weapons and upgrades so that everything would have some use, if they fixed multicrew and made squadrons more indepth, then THAT would be something.
All that blablabla about independacy, freedom, democracy, greatness etc. are nice, but who you are going to run to for that 15% discount when buying your corvette with a grade composite hull?
Maybe if they gave me something other than combat oriented rewards. Oh wait? They did. I'm off into the black in my Mandalay 😂 have fun with your pew pew pew

Li Young Rui seems like the best choice just for the amount of benefits he offers
Leaning that way myself!
Ive already pledged and started moving some of my ships
Yes he's also good for a lot of the nicest player minor factions' systems.
Yeah he's got some absolutely OP benefits at max merit. Literally like zero cost to operate in combat zones and bounty hunting

Good and entertaining format for an information list vid - you got a sub
I'm coming back soon to the game. I reboot, learn (again) the mechanics. And I'll clearly side with Yuri Grom. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Great video explaining the powers, Thank You! I'm diving in as a new CMDR, Time to learn and get blown up! LOL!
good luck, add me if u need help, "Rich1986Rich" cmdr name
Learning small components of the gameplay at a time and joining them up seems the best way to tackle the steep learning curve!
Welcome o7
The first question is... should I even pledge?
of course, not pledging has 0 benefits but pledging to anyone has a massive amount of benefits
@@morebagels - NOT pledging has one massive benefit.

@Garryck-1 correct me if I'm wrong but that basically doesn't happen
@@morebagels Any opposing territory Stronghold will attack you on sight. This is particularly annoying if you're trying to visit certain engineers.

Some of us have done the starter missions. If you need help, ask and people will give it.
@@Sighman how do i get the starter mission?
As a old school commander. BASK!
Any suit/on-foot handheld weapon benefits?
Good question. There are power items on foot.
Currently no, but there are on foot ways to support your power.

Princess Aisling because I'm a simp and I'm enjoying mining at the mo
In which power is shinrata dezra located?
I think it's Yuri Grom but I'm not sure because I don't have a permit yet.
All of them, pit them against eachother
Before I even start watching, I can tell you that the answer is Li Yong-Rui.
Jerome Archer is Kevin Costner in another life hahaha
Zach was the guy from breaking bad before so, haha
FOR THE EMPEROR!
Nakato Kaine sounds like someone I'd work for.
(edit)
Forgot to mention: Emphasis on the "they *already* wield far too much---"
galactic peace thru overwhelming force. you will be missed Zachary Hudson
Did I miss it, or did you miss that Li Yong-Rui has a 15% discount on ships and modules in his territory?
not related to power play, it applies to everyone.
@@nCubed21 I realised that point earlier today.
@@nCubed21 - From what I've heard, as of PP2, it no longer applies to everyone. Just those pledged to him.
Wait, there’s holographic streamers?
Do i become a simp or a corpo slave?
🤣🤣🤣I was thinking the same, I don't want to be any of those.
Aisling because she has a cute face
I was hoping that there would have been some new rep weapons when PP 2.0. I spent a few months last year getting all the Powers' modules. A lot of them are junk (cough cough MINING LASER!! cough cough)
There are? Concord cannon and one other.
@ yeah I caught that. After I looked over the whole list.
the real question, can you keep the rank when leaving for another power or sad grind reset, or if you can keep the perks(profit bonuses mainly), cuz id do those and return to iwaifu if i could keep the bonuses?
Nope, it resets everything.
You lose the lot, so the idea is to choose and stick to it.
Currently making my way to the bubble 😂
Where you find Mahon banner I have only Duvall and delaine
In one "Unlocked" episode they have mention something about rewards in ARX in PP2, what happen with that
Gone
Reduced to ashes
@@kickskii Wow ashes? so edgy!
The Archon comands compliance....
Anyone tries commanding me, they get a vertical middle finger in their smug face.
It's always been Arissa. How could I betray my empress.
"+X% in minor faction reputation gain" what does that mean and what is the benefit of that?
Means you can gain rep faster with minor factions in a system. Which means it doesn't take as long to start getting more lucrative missions from them.
@@Garryck-1 OK, thanks for the clarification.
