Ironically, when I last took a break from the game a few months ago, I was all the way out in the Colonia region. Depending on how interesting this new Power Play is, I might fly back to the bubble and take part. The most logical choice would be LRY at that point. Join before turning in my exploration data.

They seem to have made some changes to the various factions though, so I might have to check them all out again before I decide which one aligns best with my commander's fictional motivations.

Considering Nakato Kaine at the moment. Not sure how colonization will unfold...but if you consider commodity sales within our own systems...this may be of some import for mining. Seem like lots of cool stuff on the "Horizon" (see what I did there??)

Aisling b/c she is hot.

When I first started playing, a few years ago, I imagined my character was from New Caledonia, and was a Nakato Kaine supporter.

However, part of the reason for that was that my first experience of Elite was Frontier: First Encounters, and though I never finished it, I'd understood that there was a possible ending where the Alliance made peace with the Thargoid. Among other things, this had influenced me in designing a campaign for a TTRPG. So I'd imagined supporting Nakato Kaine as a nod to that older game and what I thought of as the "good" ending, in that Kaine seemed to oppose provoking a war with the Thargoid.

Instead, we got the boring, predictable Independence Day plot.

So, I don't see a point to supporting Nakato Kaine now, or in participating in the game "politics" at all. Any positive outcome has been ruled out anyway.

I'm far Northwest of Colonia doing exploration and exobio. Think it will be Pranav Antal for now.

PRAV is offering bonus payout for exo scans so it's worth it.

Only in controlled space from what I've seen thus far.
