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.

Are 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

Question 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).
