o7! Just a quick question, do you have any idea why I'm not getting any merits with this method? I am pledged to Jerome Archer and I've made my way to Gateway system (Edmund Mahon stronghold) and I get no merits for fragging fighters.
Isn't Gateway the Mahon HQ ? Can't earn merits at HQ systems because they're "unassailable", have to go to a stronghold carrier at a non-HQ system I think.
@@AlgoFodder yeah, it's Mahon HQ. So there are stronghold carriers in stronghold systems also? I thought the stronghold carriers are present only in HQ! Thanks for the tip, I will try it today! 😃
o7, in case anyone else having this problem: AlgoFodder is right, you have to go to stronghold system but not HQ. I tried it yesterday and it finally worked. Thanks for the tip! 🎉

@multiversetradeunion i dont know how many cell banks you have and what engineering on them but 10k merits in 1h in corvette is not doable like you wrote down in comments section. i have a heavy resistant (all 45%+)prismatic stacked corvette ( almost everything g5) and whole fllet of ships with fighters are able to almost down my shields after 8-10 figters whoose not that easy to target when they fast and trying to avoid beeing targeted by rockets. i would hardly say 5k is doable when 2 condas with 3 mambas and whole pack of vipers ( not including fighters but they firing too) trying to kill you. or you have some advice how to avoid normal ship, not figters from attacking you in mass? And after that i have to return to station and repair/restock, because in fight restorck is imposible
@multiversetradeunion ship control skill you say... I dont know how that applies when you got swarmed by fleet of faster, more nimble ships in a corvette. And its a HUGE target. On python mk 2? Totally true propably, its way faster than even the cutter and more nimble than FDL. And way smaller target for enemy to shoot at. Security level of a system applies for number of enemies there? If yes i propably know why there was so many enemies.... Unless there is ni stronghold system without high security
You might want to change to bi-weave. I'm running 57/58/65% resists on a bi-weave and the corvette tanks all of this just fine without effort. You can just kill the normal ships if you don't care about acquiring heavy bounties.
I wonder if T10 farming is viable for this. PewPew the fighter hanger a few times on the way past, then park about 5-7km away so you're out of range of the carrier's guns, and just farm the fighters as they attack you
In my test, Corvette with 2 Shield Cell Banks was best ship to that. But T10's shield capacity is too small to defend against many NPC Ship and Fighter. And I felt big ship is little less fun.
Nope, even at this moment new Stronghold systems are emerged. If there are users to attack Stronghold system, also there will be users to fortify and to expand. And "ALWAYS" the latters are more than the formers in E:D. And don't be affraid that you can't control these new situations. PP2.0 is not PP1.0.

Wow! Great video! Sounds like a lot of fun on top of that! Thanks!
You make it look so easy. Kudos 👏 🎉
Thanks for this. Its a nice way to get some merits.
Damn, looks fun. My Mamba will have a great time; hope 5 hardpoints are enough to 1 shot an SLF, the Python Mk2 has 6...
It helps if you have a MASSIVE amount of shields. Wow.
That's fantastic! I want to try your build but the description cut off the end of the link...

Do the merits decay over time like before or do they not? Nobody answered me so far.

No. Merits are permanent. Thought the weekly leaderboard resets
I'm not even getting 40 merits per SLF kill as archon delaine

It depends on your ship-control skill. And 10K is minimum record for me. Other youtubers are saying 15K~20K at there.

Python Mk2
The immersion is allmost unbearable.
Was there a big nerf today? getting 14 merits from fighters.
Yes, sadly.
