Elite: Dangerous - Power Play: The Basics 

My auto-dock loves dragging my belly through the slot as I wince in pain...

@@dannymeeusen y use auto-dock though? Especially if you have flight assist on, what even is the point? It's extremely inefficient and takes a long time.

@@somberflight I'm lazy and take said time to do other things while I tab out of ED, I do the same whenever I have to super cruise 30+ mins to somewhere I want to go

Luis Osorio doing this now. .21ly away

I tried using it for the type-9 heavy and that was a horrible idea. It scraped the bottom of the ship the entire way through the entrance basically every time.

And get the Thargoids to pay for it!

AND THE COMMANDERS ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT!

+Nowyn only seemed fair as I ranked up in the empire flying a corvette!

the autodock bumps the beluga liner on the head every single time anyways. the beluga liner was the worst investment I've ever had in the game, ended up selling it.

+Etamar Gev thank you! I'm going to be doing a series on basics after 2.2 drops so stay tuned!

I can just see him doing Elite Dangerous RP ASMR with that voice....lol.

stevenrempel it’s crazy how much has changed, I’m glad I hopped back into E:D haven’t done any planetary landing yet but I’m pretty stoked to see how much more the game will grow.

+Kenneth D. Aston Jr. You do get to keep them, with module storage this is pretty handy!

Is this for PC only Michael ?

I noticed this was 4 months ago so I'm guessing you might've figured it out, but you do not need horizons dlc to join a faction, but it does add more missions and locations to work from. Hope this helps

Stephen Bailey it’s type 9 time you know it

Kyle Gregson there is another faction now called Yuri Grom but principles stay the same

Did they even attempt to rebalance the rewards, or is it still Prism Shields > Imperial Hammers > Fuck off Power Play? lol

William Napier boomy? It was a pretty tight synth and 4/4 kick drum pattern.

@@brkbtjunkie i have a sensitivity to sound. Different experience for everyone. Boomy for me

The thing you can pay for is rank for factions, like the Empire, the Federation, or the Alliance. You can't buy the ranks for combat, exploration or trade, those are given out by the Pilot's Federation, and are seen across known space as a mark of distinction in the fields they represent. The Pilot's Federation will never give out awards such as Elite Combat rank to anyone who hasn't earned it because they rely on their integrity to maintain control of pretty much everything to do with modern space travel.

You can simply buy ranks??

Yes...

Its a bit of crap argument regarding solo and pg for a couple of reasons. Instancing to start with, you can be in the same system at the same time and never see another soul. The second point is time zones/play times, chances are you are being undermined when you aren't playing or even awake, you cannot fight when your opponent is it in the same place at the same time. The third thing to consider is that some people have poor Internet connections and the best way for them to not effect others gameplay and be able to enjoy there own is to play in solo or a pg, they should not be punished for that.

@@CMDRPLATER I'm sure you know that powerplay is undertaken by player groups that span multiple timezones with a fair bit of organization involved. No individual commander is going to make a significant impact on the outcomes or future of a superpower so while instancing and multiple timezones are an issue for any one individual, it becomes much less so on the larger scale. I was heavily involved in powerplay during which time we were targeted in solo/pg several times by a rival group (we had an open only rule). It was demoralising watching system after system fall after months of hard work and there was nothing we could do about it because we couldn't intercept and engage with the underminers. What I and others are saying is that commanders can powerplay in solo/pg and it will unlock modules and earn them weekly credits but their fortification, undermining, etc. should not count toward the outcome of the weekly cycle. Otherwise what should be a turf war becomes nothing but a bunch of commanders that will never ever cross paths just trying to out grind each other. What's the point of that? I can attest to this after several years of participating in powerplay and experiencing the futility of trying to compete in a game mechanic that necessarily requires you to try to stop opposing groups from undermining your systems while allowing that same group to do so while completely invisible to you.

+Johnson Chan no penalty really unless you defect which if you do you will be hunted for a week by the faction you just left, which is annoying but nothing you shouldn't be able to handle.

And should

Why would you step away when you are supercrusing????

Nope he's the president of the federation

Virgil we'll die

Nope, permits stay.

@@CMDRPLATER Alright cheers, now I can play a wanted runaway in the solar system 😁

I agree. Playing a game to say “I get more imaginary money faster than you” is SUPER lame.

We hate guns and think people who like them are idiots. No offence.

@@mdaniels6311 lucky for you, I've deployed with a few Brits that don't hate guns and use them to protect you. Thank one next time you see them 😊

by now you probably found out but... from your right screen find power play screen, pick your side and hit pledge button at the bottom of the screen.

Dan Walker that’s false. Your ears hear to slowly.

?

@@diro9655 what i mean is, whatever my effort is, nothing change since im just one man. I would prefer a private universe that you can influence everything without the assistance of other. I like being with good person and this community is full of them, but i feel like my effort are wasted since there are 2 000 000 other people against or with me. I just feel that im worthless in this mode.

@@clapointe151 bro just look at the the power play bubble in the video and now. It has blown up! Yeah an individual in a galaxy is insignificant. The game does a good job of pointing that out. However together that number has more than tripled since the time of this video.
