Powerplay: You have to re-earn your rank every week?

[Eron Altair]

I keep thinking about participating in powerplay, but I'm not fond of the limitation it puts on where I can go safely. I was looking at the requirements for ranking up. Do you get reset to zero every week? The higher levels seem attainable, but it's not something I want to grind every week. Or is that only for some of the powers and not for others?

Also, what are power commodity allocations? I can find nothing about that.

Thanks =)

you lose 50% of your merits every week..

make 10000 and get rank 5, then when the cycle ticks.. your set to 5K and need to earn another 5K.


allotments are for either Preparing a system for control, or fortifiying a control system. you get one allotment per 30 Minutes, the ammount of which is dependent on your rank.

Rank 1 gets 10 per allotment and rank 5 gets 50 per allotment. each unit of your allotment is worth 1 merit point. you can "fast track" an allotment for 10,000Cr per point. (100K per allotment at rank 1, 500K per allotment at Rank 5) the cost of each point remains the same at 10K..

Yes, you need to keep feeding the mouth every week.

I joined the Feds, but really it's been mostly extra trouble. I get inderdction attempts several times during journeys, I need to go out of my way to complete their missions, and I earn much more by doing other things - their weekly wage is rather weak, unless you really go for it, then 5 mil seems nice, but I cringe at how much time gettting all those merits would take.

I also don;t really fancy any of the faction weapons at all, so in the end, I am thinking of just defecting. However, for the Feds there is a larger bounty payout so ... I may just stay for that.

Meh, earning merits is easier than people think. when I'm with a wing mate I can earn 1300 per hour in a crime sweep/war zone. 800-900 per hour if we are interdicting supply ships. Even faster if you fast track them all in fortification supplies.

I wanted to have a wingman, but it seems for us, it's broken. And I bought a Vulture to take part in military zones just as the new weekly cyscle completed, and now Feds don't have any damn zones lol, it's all in turmoil!

Yeah it's so easy I make more than 9 mil merits a minute.

Are you refering to conflit zones? I tried kill the wanted in controled systems of my power, no merits just credits, I know conflict zones give you merits, but it's 10 per kill, smaller than undermining(30 per kill).

ALD has crime sweeps in expansion systems and hudson (i think) has something similar called Military strike zones, alos in expasions... so long as you get a hit you get 10 merits when the ship goes all splodey. so a wing of 4 could REALLY rack up some merits fast. We run 2 condas or a python and a conda and we are imploding ships at a fairly rapid rate... i hate to see 4 large ships worth of firepower cutting a swath across a strike zone!!

I believe I saw millitary strike zones a few times, didn't pay much attention though, how are they different from regular credit/merit farming methods like RES or conflict zones?

you dont earn cash only merits. either opposing the system or for the system, depending on who you are pledged to. each kill grants you 10 PP merits and you only need to strike the craft with a weapon to get them (once it is destroyed). thats why you can earn so fast with a wing, you all focus on one target and burn it in a few seconds or less and on to the next...

where do you find thos zone? and can you be alone in those zone in a vulture?
