Silver Taffer“recommend using the neutron router spansh (google it) “

If you try spansh be aware that neutron boosts do small amounts of damage to the integrity of your FSD, which does accumulate. If you have the internals then an AFMU is a good idea

If you're taking a larger ship, pack two AFMU - one large for all your maintenance and one small, to repair the bigger one.

Brilliant!

I dig most of the changes, but honestly, open-only would probably be the end of my involvement with PP.

I, for one, am all in favor of open-only Powerplay.

Powerplay is often touted by Sandro and the dev team as being a player-based conflict, it seems right that it should be Open-only. It will be a great step towards fostering and promoting direct action between players and from what I've read so far it is readily welcomed by the Powerplay regulars.

If these changes do go ahead, I might well sign my pledge to the Kumo Crew once again!

Why is that Worlock? What power are you with? I'll get you their discord invite. It's amazing the strategy and support there is among us. Hudson's officially unofficial group LOL has been almost solely open-only and it's amazing how survivable it actually is when you have the support and 'training' to get away or to be properly equipped. I can still count on ONE hand over 2 years how many times Imp PvP wings have caught me while actively searching for me

Seems like a good way to encourage griefers. Beyond that the idea behind the open-only proposal is undermined by the fact that the player community is already split three ways between PC, PS4 and Xbox1 players, and by the fact that console players are locked behind an additional paywall if they want to engage in open play. Open-only would seem more logical if there were cross-platform play and weren't that paywall (I realize these issues are beyond FD's control).

In my experience, more often than not, multiplayer games quickly become spoiled by trolls and griefers. Plus I just don't have a good stable internet connection, and frequently experience game breaking lag in multiplayer games. That's why I tend to play solo.

I get the desire on FD's part to encourage PvP interaction, but I still want some means to meaningfully impact our chosen faction for us solo players.

p.s. For the record: I'm a firm Imperialist, pledged to our glorious Emperor Arissa Lavigny-Duval.

And if they made the cytoscramblers something other than useless that would be nice, too!

Apparently, they are better these days and with some engineering they can go further - but that is only what I've read, I haven't tried them personally for a long time.

I still have a pair as souvenirs from my service, I'll dig them out and see for myself

I sorta dislike the idea of not able to do PP in Private Group, but that's just my personal opinion. This also impacts players which play Solo due to lack of Xbox Gold sub. It's not issue in my case, but there are players who do PP solely in Solo not because they want to avoid PVP (you still get hunted by hostile NPCs if memory serves me right) but because they are unable to do that due to limitations of Silver accounts.

I do not deny the move done by Frontier, which makes it a pretty needed move - but then, what about Xbox One and PS4 players? Their inability to do some stuff due to lack of proper sub is... hm. Can't find a word in here, quite troubling and problematic, at best. It was expressed, for example, in this post. The other one also points out issue of PP bounties.

Not that some players play Private Groups and Solo because of their internet. These modes seem to load up instances and mission boards faster by good 5 seconds than in Open.

Fact is, the majority of Powerplay's activities ought to be done in open - primarily because battles for expansion can be won or lost by the slimmest margins. I can point to a single engagement about a year ago that probably decided the fate for Patreus that week. If the pilots I went after had been in solo or PG, things would have ended very differently.

Powerplay in a nutshell is a PVP game. The threat of being intercepted by a wing of determined hunters is negated by PG and solo play. By forcing all of it into open, it should make things much more interesting and give players the opportunity to circumvent or even outright stop attacks on their powers.

Wanton murder is already plenty supported by PowerPlay as it stands right now (pledging and defecting as it suits you). Making PowerPlay activities Open only won't make it worse, it'll make it better because us PvPers will have something to do. Believe me - the galaxy will become more safer than it already is.

Regarding proper PowerPlay, if you're pledged to truly support the power and play the game it being Open only should be fine. If it bothers you, get out of the kitchen.

Fixing module shopping would do a lot to help on the 'ganker' front. Make it part of the tech brokers and you'll have lots more people flying 'No Faction' and therefore cover them under the Crime and Punishment system.
