{{Ambox|type=Documentation of unreleased future feature|info=This page is documenting features still being developed by Frontier. Some of the information here may be out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate.}}
==Overview==
[[File:Powerplay 2.0 group photo.png]]<!-- Consider revising to be a broad overview of each power, inclusive of their benefits. -->
==Getting Started==
===Merits===
[[File:Sample PowerPlay 2.0 weekly missions.png|thumb|An example of a Power's weekly missions. At the time of this article's writing, all the weekly assignment missions appear to be the same from power to power.]]
Merits are essentially "reward points" that are earned through various in-game actions and affect a power's standing in the system they were earned in. As a CMDR earns merits, they will gain ranks once they complete an initial 5 missions for their power, with each rank granting the CMDR a combination of new/incrementally enhanced [[PowerPlay 2.0 Guide#Universal Benefits|bonuses]] {{Cite}}. In sharp contrast to PowerPlay v1, merits in PowerPlay v2 are earned (1) immediately and (2) do not have a "half-life". The only way to lose your merits is to defect to another power, in which case you lose all your merits<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">Brother Sabathius' stream on 10/17/2024: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2278289176?t=01h58m23s</ref>. It is not known whether or not merits can be lost by performing hostile actions against either your own power or friendly powers.{{Cite}}.

=== Power Module Unlock Matrix ===
Each power unlocks all power modules eventually, but in different orders. Every power unlocks their unique module first at rank 34. Which power module unlocks next varies from there. Below is a table showing at what rank each power's module becomes available to a CMDR:

==Power's Influence on BGS==
It is not known at this time what impact---if any---a power's presence in a system will have on that system's BGS. Most likely, there will no longer be a direct BGS impact caused by a Power's presence in the system. Whether certain traits of a power's presence in a system as found in PowerPlay 1.0 will continue in PowerPlay 2.0 is not yet known. It is known that a system's controlling faction's government type no longer influences a power's hold on a system or their overall rating. For example, a dictatorship controlling a system held by Jerome Archer or Arissa-Lavigny Duval no longer makes a system easier to undermine. Conversely, a Patronage or Feudal government controlling a system held by one of these two powers no longer makes the system harder to undermine.<ref name=":0">PowerPlay 2.0 Q&A: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/powerplay-20-qa</ref>
