For example, players will be able to buy two new ships (Lakon Diamondback and Imperial Courier) as well as drones to assist with various tasks.
The Powerplay Update will also include some other changes for the game. 'The initial selection of factions will rise to a maximum of twenty as players provide assistance to minor local forces as those forces establish a foothold across a handful of systems, they may rise to become Powers in their own right,' Frontier said. The dead Powers can then be replaced by new ones. It's not going to be like PlanetSide 2, where every army has at least a token headquarters territory at all times. New and experienced faction members will have plenty of perks from their allegiance, though, such as cheaper repair costs or deals on purchases.įrontier Development's preview of the Powerplay Update mentions that factions can be wiped out entirely as well. The higher your standing, the more influence you'll have in determining the faction's strategy each week. By serving your Power, you'll not only help them expand but also improve your standing with them.
