Powerplay is one of the greatest aspects of Elite:Dangerous. Three superpowers, independents, powerplayers within the superpowers, choose the one you support and do what you think is right in 3303. While in theory this is correct, Solo/Private Groups ruin this game mechanic. The preperations/fortifications/undermining keeps rising while we sit in an empty system. Private groups put weaker/less skilled players in an invulnerable position, gives them an edge on top of already problematic combat logging and instancing issues. We, open play exclusive players, would like at least the powerplay to be open play exclusive, so we can at least see our enemy. Doing this will also open up new possibilities and playing styles like escort wings for haulers, ambushing logistic lines, blockading systems etc. It will also require newer defending and escaping strategies for haulers, and break monotonous jumping between systems for them.
