Here's that planet I wanted to take you guys to last night Duke.

Wow cool, we'll have to do that next time we hook up.

Whoops, found a sweet outline but the info is old so all the numbers were wrong so I deleted it.


I think we should try powerplay ConflictZones when we get into expansion again. At this point we may have enough firepower/skill to move through targets pretty fast. In the Military Strikes you only get 10 merits/kill but you don't have to jump/search/interdict the next target.

Once you've been in a military strike for a while, the allied ships will start to outnumber the reds and you go from fighting targets to trying to catch up before the friendly NPC's finish them off. With 4 (or more) of us we should be able to steamroll the zone.

When are your merits considered for the bonuses? I.e., what day of the week?

 

[Lockard.J]

Wednesday is when the powerplay stuff processes for the week.

I thought it was every Thursday?

Well, I guess it is technically. It probably goes at midnight GMT.
