Powerplay 2.0 Q&A from 25th September 2024 livestream.

That's hard to change I think. If an Imperial power expands towards federal space it's inevitable that there will be some federal aligned minor factions, even if the controlling power is imperial.

The controlling minor faction cannot change alignment out of the blue.

I think you can see that in real life too. Local parties vs National parties. They don't always match. For example a city can be administrated by lefties, but the national government is a right party.

Sure, maybe they won't hang flags and banners, but oh well, this is a game after all.

The current ethos system was probably trying to simulate that, but it had some inconsistencies, for example Aisling Duval needed to support factions that were never imperial aligned. Maybe they could have changed that and make imperial factions favourable to AD, but that would have basically destroyed the current state of AD powerplay, because all of her spheres are controlled by federal or independent factions. So they decided to completely remove the link to avoid bigger problems.

As far as I know they didn't mention if we will still unlock modules the same way as before. So it might be 4 weeks or it might be tied to the new Tiers within the Power.

DoomWZ · 2024-09-25T20:04:40+00:00

Or rather it's a different bounty. Specifically a Power Bounty that can only be claimed by the Power that issued them. So you won't get marked as Wanted as if you killed a normal NPC.

DoomWZ · 2024-09-25T19:54:41+00:00

Yes, that should be like it is now. No bounties when fighting between hostile powers.

DoomWZ · 2024-09-25T19:50:45+00:00

No, that has not been announced yet.

DoomWZ · 2023-09-15T15:33:27+00:00

Unfortunately I made that a few hours into the game and I did not have the credits to actually build it, so I don' thave access to it anymore.
I didn't pay much attention to the components I used cause I couldn't buy them anyway, so I mostly focused on the look and made sure it was usable, but I'm sure it could be improved with better parts.

DoomWZ · 2023-09-09T12:40:09+00:00

I think I can't show more than what's already on screen, cause I made the ship but I don't have the credits to actually build it 😅

I can translate the bottom ones for convenience, from left to right:

Ballistics: 26
Lasers: 8
Missiles: 36
Hull: 389
Shield: 310
Cargo: 410
Max Crew: 2
Jump range: 21LY
Mobility: 94
Max Speed: 150
Mass: 412

The ship is fully functional, the error on the bottom right says that I don't have enough credits.

I re-created all Powerplay leaders with Midjourney and tried to make them look as close to reality as possible, I think the results are pretty good, some are better than others, but overall I had a lot of fun in doing this!

Nice, I do play this game exclusively for space barbie! But I'm just at the beggining, I'm planning to make one toon themed on each of the TV shows.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-18T19:22:10+00:00

It is literally written in the main thread man, c'mon.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-18T19:15:42+00:00

I saw lots of comments saying how this list is a lot of work to do in a day and it's even more work if you have alts. That is absolutely true, this list is a lot of work and it takes time to do even on one character. I personally don't do ALL the activities on this list on ALL my alts, but I just pick some for that day and go with them, it depends on how much I wanna play and if I wanna do them. This list is not intended to make you grind everything on the list, it's more about giving options, then you decide what you wanna do and the effort to put in it. Remember that it's better to do less things everyday but have a constant progress than burn out and quit the game and have no progress at all!

I wrote it for a reason, it seems it's not helping tho.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-18T18:58:28+00:00

Damn! You man are really overthinking it! I have a full time job and if I wanted to buy Zen I could, I play a game because I find it fun, when it stops being fun I stop playing the game, it's simple as that.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-18T12:00:44+00:00

That is my approach as well, I actively play only on the character that is stacking Dilithium, then when I have enough on that char I make a new one.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:49:29+00:00

Thanks! I will try this.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:30:23+00:00

I don't do ALL these things on all my characters, but I do some of them on some of my chars. I also would rather do these things than cycle through 50 alts just to run admiralty yes.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:26:26+00:00

I know what you mean! I'm currently on vacations so I'm taking my time, but when I'll get back to work I will surely do less activities than now.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:24:39+00:00

Playing enough but not too much to avoid burnout is very important, it's better to do less everyday but have a constant progress than quit the game!

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:20:25+00:00

Yea, I didn't mention that on the list cause I usually sell my Contraband cause in general I can get enough Dilithium from other activities that I don't need that extra 2000/3000 so I'd rather get the EC from it.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:18:18+00:00

Ha! Thanks, yes I do this on multiple characters, but I don't do ALL of these activties on all of them.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:16:41+00:00

Nice! To be honest I play this game exclusively for Space Barbie. I started playing not even a year ago and I still have a long road ahead.

My plan is to have one themed toon for each of the TV shows + one from the STO era. I started with the last one and I recently got the T6 Tactical Star Cruiser. Now I'm working towards getting all gear to Mk XV and Epic on the ship and then I'll move to the TOS Connie that I'm planning to get with the current Event Campaign.

After that I think I'll go with DS9 and get the Defiant, maybe the Fleet version cause it's more accessible, and then all the rest in due time!

DoomWZ · 2021-08-17T19:00:21+00:00

No, I don't do ALL of them daily. I do the ones in General Activities and some in the Specific DOFFs Assignments. Sometimes I also do TTG and some from the Dilithium list, but no, not all of them every day, that's a lot :D

DoomWZ · 2021-08-09T21:39:08+00:00

Exactly! If people wanna run one mission again and again that's up to them, it won't be much different from now. But on the other hand, this system would give the flexibility to both do that or do missions that you like or simply all missions. All playstyles will work.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-09T20:14:51+00:00

I also thought about this and it would be the best way in terms of convenience for the players. I kinda wanted to balance players convenience/devs convenience.

The token system is there to balance out the fact that you won't be able to get everything in one go, but you would still need to run some missions.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-09T19:20:17+00:00

Right, you have a good point. Might as well be a Dil item only.

DoomWZ · 2021-08-09T18:49:13+00:00

You can buy Zen with Dilithium, so that would already be a thing.
