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.[1]
Merits
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---called "ratings"---once they complete an initial 5 missions for their power, with each rating granting the CMDR a combination of new/incrementally enhanced bonuses [citation needed]. 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. [2]. It is not known whether or not merits can be lost by performing hostile actions against either your own power or friendly powers.[citation needed].
