it just feels like Powerplay could be more than it is. Perhaps where you would supply dropships with military supplies, media on populated planets in the system and give combat players any number of improved ways to get their fix. Surely, though, contested systems could have more “in your face” long-standing conflicts. Either way, hauling seemed worth a bit of game-time. I like the media offensive concept of Aisling, though I really only signed up for the Prismatics.

My findings are below but that’s more for the number-lovers amongst us.Īs a territorial competition mechanism it is like all invasive wars, requiring logistics and media to play an important a role alongside combat. So I did what any nerdy-CMDR would do and resorted to “Spreadsheets In Space” and used rounding because numbers like 5340 don't exist in block allocations of 50. Decimalisations, unnecessary fractions, 'powerplay sucks' and so on. Probably because Powerplay isn’t meant to work as a profit-maker, I found wikia/google wasn't helpful when looking into learning how to engage in the mechanism. Without a doubt, this method is easily a time/money-sink when fast-tracking and also trying to not blow the bank. As an explorer/trader, hauling the Power Contact's data seemed my only option. I'm useless at Combat but wanted to get into Powerplay for the bonus modules. *Including this warning for a long-post, it’s word count is 723* TL DR: CMDR who’s rubbish at pewpew decides to be a Level 5 lore-loving space-trucker for the Blue Princess. Just sharing my thoughts and a little bit of mathematics around Powerplay.
