Elite Dangerous - Powerplay 2.0 Merit Changes

Greetings Commanders. With the update this morning, we have increased merits from by exploration data by 6x, and all other sources by 4x. The effect on system scores and therefore system conflict progression remains unchanged. We have also increased the merit award from all assignment difficulties by 20x

• This will take immediate effect on any uncompleted assignments at time of posting. Assignments which have already been completed will not be retroactively see this change

This is the first step in ensuring that all activities with Powerplay 2.0 both feel rewarding and are viable in advancing through the ranks quickly, allowing Commanders to obtain the first Powerplay modules in a much shorter timespan. We will continue monitor to both player feedback and data, and make further adjustments to merit gain for activities if needed.

Can we please confirm if those sources are actually enabled? It is unclear if Frontier has adjusted the values, however has left those sources disabled.

Thanks for the question. I can now confirm that settlement Data has now been enabled, however Rare Goods and Escape Pods remain temporarily disabled as investigate the issue.
