Meatloaf SeagalOk so It would pay out to pledge? how do I avoid making other powers from treating me as an enemy, allowing for me to keep a mercenary position within the power? Also It should be noted that if I pledge this will be the second time I done so from my old file back when horizons just came out. I ended up taking a break from it and wanted to start fresh.
Well, you don't have to stay locked into any power forever it's just that many wings are Power specific. Not all, but most are. I have pledged to Hudson when I need to raise cash by bounty hunting, bought his shoguns, saved up 250 million, switched over to Aisling and bought prismatic shields for all my rides. I'm back on winters now at 10k merits because I'm setting up a few systems as a high profit trade route.
Once my merits decay a bit and I tire of this route I will switch to the power with Pack Hound Missles and buy a few. Then back to winters, stack them merits, make the cash.
If you are very worried about enemy powers then Aisling is the ticket. Half the map is imp, she holds a position in the top 3 so the bonus is better, about 2/3 of CMDRs are imp. It's a MUCH easier road to walk. The Federation is getting smashed in power play every cycle. We actually NEED PP pilots.
Think of the feds as scrappy little rebels and the Empire as death star loving Lord Vaders.

Wait did they change the powerplay reward system for powerplay? Because when i tried doing it the first tiem i couldn't get enough tickets in time.
