Questions about PowerPlay

[Bishop-Six]

Im a bit confused, maybe somebody could help me out:

1.) There are different System Status like Reinforcement for example. Unfortunately the german translation is not fitting to the english terms and not all new words are translated.
So to finish the 5 beginner missions when i joined a faction i need to deliver "rare goods" into an "Acquisition" System.

"Aquisition" is translated as "Erwerb" and "Erschließung" is translated to "development". Is this the same?

And what are rare good? Where can i get them?

2.) They say the new aquired systems can not be reinforced when not a reinforced system is close. What do they mean with "close"? Its vera vague. How can i see if the requirements are met?

3.) When i hover with the mouse over a planet of my faction, they show some lines between the close faction systems but no explanation. Also there is some orange triangle showing up above the systems, whats that?

And where do i get the "powerplay-products?"

Unfortunately the explaining of the new Power Play is a bit vague, as I guess you could tell from the veiled sarcasm in the video, but it does give you a nice rough cover...I cannot help with the translation but the video did give me a good starting point for everything else...And unfortunately, that appears to be what we have right now...Starting points to streamline as we figure out how they work...In a month there will be a new detailed video on PP 2.0 but for now we are all clueless to a point...The Rares have starports to buy them at and just initiating a web search for 'ED Rares' will give you all the info you need...INARA is wonderful for info...I use it all the time...There are no tutorials at present...Just rough overlays...We are all in the same boat...But I love a challenge...I am sorry if you do not...It is what we have right now...One big challenge...

rare goods sind seltene handelsgüter wie zb ein bestimmter Wein den es nur an bestimmten stationen gibt.
Je weiter weg man den bringt desto mehr geld bekommt man.

Wonderful in theory.
I picked Winters. One would think the President of the bleepin' Federation would have strongholds. One would be wrong. Her PP icon says she has 6, the PP galaxy map disagrees.

Agreed. I have the same with an alt faction... only one stronghold 'star' within the gal map bubble. In the interim, I clicked their HQ button and went there as it's definitely a Stronghold for that task. Expect a patch?!

@Bishop-Six It is hard to spot but your 'orange triangles' differ! 'Triangles WITH an outline' are your fewer control systems. 'Solid triangles WITHOUT' are the (weaker) exploited systems along the edges of your territory that need to be within range of a control. The lines you describe link the WITHOUT triangles to their WITH triangles. (It's a crazy Where's Wally key imo.)

If a WITH triangle is lost to an enemy, I suspect all the WITHOUT triangles will be lost too, so these ought to be prioritised. You can reinforce any triangle for those tasks.

The circles are the "aquisition" ones for tasks I'm thinking... probably those WITH the outline. (Here we go again )

OUTLINE = Gliederung
WITH/OUT = mit/ohne

Thanks for the infos, its a bit clearer now.

Still dont exactly which system is what but im mining atm anyways (like always xD).
