In my experience my contributions usually don't show up after the first update from when I made my contribution. They usually are reflected a few hours later.
Powerplay 2.0 Activities
- Thread starter Nowski
- Start date
Yes, I probably should have used the word "chained" rather than stacked. The system I am working in generates up to 8 missions at a time, but usually at least 2 of them are for the same settlement, so I grab as many as I can. Each mission earns 1800 merits for successful completion. I then have to go to the support system to hand in all of the Powerplay data and goods. Unfortunately, the missions only seem to be available for a couple of days at a time.
I'm fairly certain the ratio is 1:4, not 1:2.
Mmm, yes I had wondered about that, having made some very modest contributions to some out-of-the-way systems and then not seen any action immediately. However, at that even earlier stage of my PP2 experience, I hadn't even noticed the "last updated" in the in-game info, and nor did I pay any attention to how long it took before the 0 reinforcement points actually changed to something a little larger.
Does anyone mention a 1:2 rule somewhere? I had only heard about the 1:4.
I guess this must make it considerably harder to be sure that you're actually seeing your own work reflected in the figures, rather than others...
Am I right to think (having explored some of the PP2 posts going back a few more weeks) that this 1:4 thing came about when the merits were boosted for CMDRs?
I'll be keeping an eye out for these now
And note in that post from Paul that the ratio for exploration data is 1:6

Hi
I have a quick question.... i have just started PP and so far so good, its a nice new skinner box to fill the rewards seem fairly generous and are for doing the stuff i have always done in game anyway.
I have joined LYR, mostly because Diaguandri has been my commanders home almost since launch. I notice when i level up enough with him i get a trade bonus.
do i also get the same bonus for selling goods i have mined or is it only from goods purchased from a starport? I realise i could have chosen a power with an actual mining bonus but like i said, Diaguandri is my home!.
many thanks.

Just wanted to say Thank you for this post, its super useful! I have it open as I'm pootling about Grom space trying to decide how to further our Dearest Leaders Glory and Influence!
That’s not the only place they’re not present. There are no Power Representatives at settlements as well.
In my headcanon, the Power Representative doesn’t actually work for your Power, but the Pilots Federation. They’re there on behalf of all the Powers. As a result, they wear many hats… often literally, as they quickly change uniforms right before you walk into their office.
I wouldn’t bother with doing the exploration assignments unless you’ve done some serious exploration recently. Both assignments seem to have some hefty per-body minimums to even qualify.
I'm more interested in whether there are any special requirements for collecting samples?
Since I was unable to collect research data I think this assignment is just broken.
Are the samples broken too ?
Some people think the exobiology ("biology samples") assignments are buggy, but as far as I know it might just be that the per-system threshold is unusually high (40M per system, or so it seems)
Try it and let us know!
Happened to me this morning. Last night's planned play session was cut short due to real life, and when I woke up this morning, I decided I had just enough time to do one run, to make sure I didn't fail any of the Source and Return missions I'd taken the previous morning. I was doing my usual routine of scanning ships in Supercruise as I Buckyballed my way to pick up the critical commodity, when I get a message that I'd completed one of my assignments.
Those things are so low priority for me, I'd forgotten to even look at them yesterday, to see if there were any worth doing. In fact, now that I'm at home, waiting to take supper out of the oven, I think I'll do just that. Let's see, besides the already completed "scan ships" assignment, I've got:
- Three missions in a single system that have enough synergy to be worth diverting to complete.
- One mission to hack holo-screens in a system I know, from experience, has none.
- Two more missions for activities I normally do anyways.
- Three missions that I know from experience aren't worth going out of my way for.
I logged just over 40m in data this week and it didn't register...although I took less than that due to paying the npc pilot tax, not sure if that effects it or not. My mission wanted data delivered to the Lokapuri system. All data was collected in the Borfor system, single planet and 4 bio's. Not sure if that helps move the conversation forward
Edit: Im assuming I pay the npc pilot tax on exobio data, same as bounties and bonds etc?
The 40m figure is based on data I logged (see also other posts here and here.)
I'm not saying there's no bug, just that
EDIT: Oops, I see you specified a single system! Reading comprehension fail on my part.
I guess it does, so long as you confirm you didn't hand it in at Power's HQ system.
Unfortunately, I haven't had any exobio weekly assignments myself as yet, so I haven't tested the assignment angle of this. I would say though that I've turned in a decent amount of exo data, and it has consistently earned merits so long as the per-system amount was ~40m or over - actually 38m and change has worked also (and when I didn't mistakently turn it in at the Power's HQ system!)
Another confounding factor is that there don't appear to be visible notifications for exobiology merit earns - I think they're hidden by the VG UI - so that you have to note your merit count before and after the hand-in to see if you earned any, though for assignments it's easy to see progress.
