u dont earn merits for delivering in your power territory. I was able to rank up and reach 100k merits. Not to mention they keep nerfing the amount of rare goods. There was one with 108t before, reduced to 37t now.

Ugh I usually wait till they fix the major issues after a big patch but now it sounds like there's a lot of gold rush behind this one. But I don't wanna grind rush. Now I worry it'll interfere with engineering unlocks for people at this rate.

They cant be that silly to revert one update that made engineering actually fun. I would pay them to do grinding for a few days all day and see how tedious it is. But they dont care

I certainly hope you're right. I was sincerely looking forward to powerplay 2.0 to breathe life into this title and give a more overarching campaign, which I think it certainly could have done so, and still seems at some level to be frontier's attempt. Like, I gotta believe bothering to make new factions and advance the story is an attempt to move things forward. I'd just like them to perhaps look at what changes are being made a bit more carefully.

Vasil VasilescuAre rare goods merits based on the tonnage you trade, or the profit from selling the goods? It seems to me that if merits are generated based on the tonnage delivered, changing that to being based on profit might be a better fix than reducing the availability of goods. Further reducing the profit would then slow the merit progression from rare trading if that is the end goal.
I think its distance( over 150 LY) and their sale value

RawnuQuestion for the engineers who fly a Python Mk2: what is your preferred combat loadout and why? While I've settled for the Mandalay and her "perfect" combat loadout (imo), I am constantly rearranging my PM2. I'd also be interested to see how you "shield" her up (because her armor is not so great as far as I can see).
I just helped someone start kitting out their PM2 last night. For shields, they preferred bi-weaves with G5 Reinforced; I suggested Hi-Cap Exp Effect. They're happy with them in a trial run, but debated switching out the engineering to an A rated shield gen with thermal resist and force block. I think that's not as good as an A rated with Reinforced plus maybe multi-weave.
The crux of the debate came down to what the shield is blocking. They hoped it could block most/all damage types as well as possible. Whereas I'd suggest stronger overall (Reinf+HiCap) and then enhance the armor itself to catch anything that leaks through.
Then again, it really depends what you're doing and who you're fighting. What would be your typical target for your PM2?

Bounty hunting and assassinating high threat targets in wings. I probably will try an all frag build, with high capacity (for duration) + screening shell. The DPS is insane and should allow for quick kills if you cozy up close with the target. Shields I have a 6c bi-weave reinforced multi-weave, but probably will high-cap it. I also run two SCBs in the next two slots.

Got it. Check out my Mamba, "Piece-Maker". It's one I've built for Bounty Hunting; you can see how I've got the frags built and the shield gen too.
I'll point out that I handle bounty hunting differently than assassination. Bounty Hunting, I'm usually hanging out somewhere (i.e. Nav Beacon) and just scanning for targets. Assassination, I'm hunting someone specific (whether in a wing or not).
For my assassination build, you'll want to see my FDL, "Thrill-Seeker". It's great for quick single-target kills. I don't like to stick around long if the target has friends though. It's also a decent PVP build, based on one in-fact.
