With the new powerplay rules conflict zones become really lucrative. At least if you have enough time to play to reach rating 5 which is not that hard anymore with the new merit changes.
So you have to kill 1000 ships in combat zones to get your first 50 mios - so 50k per ship - not bad.
Afterwards you get for each killed ship 100k - if you kill 500 per week and as a nice bonus you get your rating 5 bonus e.g. 100% more bounty payouts.
So pp conflict zones are more lucrative than normal ones if you are a player with enough time to play.
