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.

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. 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]}.
