Powerplay 2.0 - Deliver Allocated Resources - doesn't work

[Ricardo]

Hello, I did this in one system and wanted to repeat it in another.

In the cargo hold, I have Utopian Dissidents & Utopian Supplies. Unfortunately, even though my Power Contact in Deliverables has what I want listed as desired, I can't transfer it.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug in the game?

Which system are you delivering to, and what's its state?

Also, does the mission text say you have to get them from a specific spot? It will also tell you which resources to pick up. (Each of the three types can only be delivered to one of undermining, acquisition, reinforcing)

What I’m doing now is not related to this set of missions.

I have now found this unoccupied system (the second link above). It says that under Local Activities to contribute, there is: Transport Powerplay Commodities. So I flew to the nearest fortress and took 15 dissidents and 15 supplies. But now I have no way to contribute.

Unoccupied = acquisition, which means you probably needed the third type of commodity.

one of the two you have is for reinforcing, the other is for undermining.

Basically most of the activities are broken...

Not this one, it's just a case of taking the right item.

And 'most' is not accurate. Many have quirks or specific requirements that people aren't aware of. E.g. trying to turn in undermining reports in a system which isn't being undermined.

1) So, Desidents is for undermining, Supplies is for reinforcing, and Publicty is for acquisition?

2) Another thing—in the link you provided (very helpful, thanks), there are three versions, for example: Transport Power Commodity A, Transport Power Commodity R, and Transport Power Commodity U. What do these three letters ARU mean?

3) In this system, I collected a few Collect Escape Pods—I went into Power Contact, they accepted it, but I didn’t receive any merits (apart from money). On the map, I also see that nothing has changed, the system still has 0. Will this change during the weekly tick, or is there another reason?

I might be wrong, I've not looked at Sighmans link (or even PP2.0 yet)...

However I would assume the "A/R/U" bits stand for Acquire/Reinforce/Undermine?

[Sighman]

A/R/U are the activities, as opposed to the system state (unoccupied/exploited/fortified/stronghold)

Any enemy controlled system is the Undermining activity
Any Unoccupied system *within range of a friendly stronghold or fortified* is Acquisition activities. When you select an unoccupied system on the galmap, it will tell you if it's in range or not. Or click a system and click the Strategic View icon on the lower right.
Any friendly-owned system is Reinforcement

If any of you are into complex board games, learning the rules for powerplay 2.0 is no different. It takes time, there's quite a bit to learn, and I recommend unpicking one activity at a time (e.g. reinforcing)

Thanks a lot, I last played in Power Play about 15 months ago. There’s a big difference, and it’s really fun to play in version 2.0.

Yep the new version gives me a reason to do things. The old version was 'here's your 750 tons of leaflets, gimme modules, bye'
