Merits via killing, How does this work?

[DatJames]

So a few days ago I was cruising back to base in my Clipper and I was interdicted by a enemy Vulture pledged to someone else (I was pledged to Zachary at the time, I have now switched to Duval) So I just ran away seeing as the Clipper is a speed demon...Moments later...Interdicted again..Same guy so I think "Okay..Last time" I fly off once more and in local there were a few others and now he was spamming "Kill Clipper!" So he interdicted...Again...I killed him and got some merits..Woo

So what's this thread about? I have now switched to Duval and decided to go hunt some of my old Zachary brethrens in there own space But I'm just getting bounties and no merits...Does the interdictee only get merits if he kills? or does Duval just not reward killing enemies?

You need to go to the military zones in the expansion systems to get merits. 1 merit per kill. You will automatically be assigned to your own power.
