Powerplay Faction: Zachary Hudson HIP 44811 - Not paying credits

[Frag]

So I took close to 1.5hrs to fly my FAS to Hip 44811 and get to the Security operations - however after taking out 5 or so security vessels I noticed I was not being paid credits? Nothing in creds or points towards my rank. Last time I did a military op i got 100cr and points no worries for every kill.

Anyone have any suggestions - I am with Hudson, at the right system as I just plotted from the Powers map, and I can't see any Military strike in the area where I was sent?
Any suggestions? Very frustrating as taking this FAS anywhere as you know with its bugged fuel scooping is super annoying

Thanks in advance.

Check your Transactions tab (where your missions and bounties are listed). You should be getting 10 merits per kill. Hand them in, and you'll get a small amount of credits, and they'll be added to your powerplay total.

Ill try that, but during MS I was being notified after each kill, this time zero. Ill see, do I have to accept the mission somehow, I dont recall doing anything like that during the last Military strike.

If you're pledged to Hudson, and you're getting kills in a military strike, then you're getting merits.
Pop back to a station to hand in.

I think you're thinking of a Combat Zone. I've never gotten any notifications from PP merit kills except in my Transactions tab. It would be nice if we didn't have to check the nav panel every time after a kill to make sure we got credit though!!

The pilot rank credit for kills has a slight time delay just like turning in stuff for a CG.


1.5 hours??? Really it should never more than 50s per jump, so unless it took you 130 jumps to get there, you might want to buy a better fuel scoop! Check out my video in the link below on how to speed scoop and jump even with a substandard fuel scoop:

My 23 Jump trip to HIP 44811 only took about 20 minutes in my Fer De Lance, and that thing over heats if you forget to leave fridge door cracked open.

Good news, yes the credits did appear, bad news I had to go all the way back to Hudson HQ to turn them in, neither station at the Hip 44811 could do it so its pretty silly. I guess I will fly my Asp there as well as the FAS and just fly the asp back to turn in the creds. Thanks for the inputs, I still swear that I saw 100cr show up each time I blasted someone in a Military strike, could be just the result of a misspent youth

Best fuel scoop I can use is 75, other slots taken up with shield cells. I was close to 200ly away from this zone, and i can go about 2-3 jumps on the FAS before needing to scoop. Unfortunately the fuel scooping on the FAS is bugged, it heats up from 60-to100% in a matter of moments and all you can do is jump in, jump out, jump in jump out and it honestly takes a fair whack of time. So either do that or I plot courses with stations, so yeah took ages.

So whether by design, or simply bug I am unsure.

I have heard that people stop to refuel. I don't understand this. You can just visit a high tech station near your destination and switc out your class 5 fuel scoop for an SCB or whatever. No reason to punish yourself by taking 3 minutes to scoop and heat up past 100%. Just scoop for 10 seconds each jump. Fill it up, done. In and out. No overheating. Jump from inside the corona even, once you learn how.

Btw, my FDL was 193 LY from HIP 44811 too, and it has way worse heat issues in 1.4 than an FAS. Still only took me ~20 min to get there going ~9 LY per jump.

You don't have to go to the HQ to hand in merits. Find the nearest Control system (I believe there was one within about 70-80LY from there). You can hand in there.

Ahh thanks for the help guys, at least I got this side of the power play now sussed. I tried a couple fortification runs but it really is bat boring
