Powerplay Powerplay Combat and Merits

Hi all,

Wanting to get into Powerplay.

I pledged myself to Hudson for the Pacifier Fragment Canon and just to see what this all is.

I now see i have to collect merits and turn them in. Can do that pick up 10 at a station and 30 minutes later another 10 and so on.

Bring them back to controlled system. I did that and i am rank 2 Hudson now but i am done with trading.

I farmed like no tomorrow, braindead data transport missions for a few weeks, i now have a full A graded Federal Assault Ship ready for some combat and powerplay.

Because of this i have no cargo racks installed.

But now i read when i go undermining and killing opposing faction ships i get mertis, but i don't have any cargo racks so i can't store them ?

I can swap out 2 hull reinforcements modules and put in 2 x 16T cargo racks but that only give 32 tonnes, equals 30 mertis?

So i kill 1 ship get 30 mertis, cargo is full, i have to deliver the merits and return ?

Or are combat mertis different than trade mertis you can pick up at a station 10 pieces per 30 minutes ?

Curious how this would work.

Yes i know this i am rank 2 this thursday.

My question is more about merits, i have a full decked out combat ship with no cargo.

Do i get some other form of points to exchange in combat for Powerplay or do i still need cargo racks and do a trip 100 times to turn in merits.

You do not need cargo for combat merits. Combat merits are stored in your transactions panel and need to be delivered to your PowerPlay contact in one of your control systems.
 
That is good to know. Was worried i still needed cargo and had to do countless trip back and forth to trade something in. Like the 10 per 30 minutes thing.

Going in tonight.
