There’s a weekly “todo” list? I clearly need to do some reading …
You'll be rewarded with a grand total of 760 merits for the busywork on your first weekly todo list (consisting of 5 different, but equally menial assignments like haul something, earn some bounties, rescue a couple of escape pods, etc etc).
Then you'll only need to collect 246240 more merits before you can lay your hands on the first powerplay module.
They really seem to have elevated module shopping grind to another level.
It will be a worthy competitor to Guardian unlocks and on-foot engineering, most probably.
