You can even go one step further! (Powerplay)

Are you keeping up Dave?

Rather than just pick any old station in the Federation you can pick a station that belongs to a Power. Powers sit below Superpowers and actually involve you PLEDGING your support to them. This is known as Powerplay.

Now not many people do Powerplay so I won’t waste time going into it too much but the important thing for you to note is, for pledging your allegiance to a power, you will earn 1,000 credits a week. Literally for doing nothing.

Finally Dave a game-play mechanic you can get behind!

For example, I’m with the Federation and have currently ranked up to the point where I’m allowed to buy a Gunship. I’m also pledged to Felicia Winters ,the Shadow President of the Federation, and so I’m earning 1k credits a week off of her. Because of all that I have also set my home base to be Ito Orbital in Rhea where Felicia is headquartered.

Doing Missions that make a difference

I hate to break this to you Dave…. but killing Pirate Lord Wangface McDuck literally did nothing in the grand scheme of things. You may think you are a hero but your just a cog mate… just a cog.
