Powerplay Q. About unlocking faction modules

[Kalearne]

Got an issue where I haven't checked my details enough before grinding my vouchers.

I have 760 uncashed. Only 3 weeks 4 days on my timer.

If I leave the vouchers unclaimed will they degrade?

If I cash them in will the modules unlock between PP ticks?

No, they become useless, and yes.

Your right hand panel rating number needs to be 3, 4 or 5, and your PowerPlay menu pledge time needs to be 4 weeks or higher - if you hit that on a Monday, you can get the module at some point that Monday.

So, I need to have cashed in 750 bonds before the end of the cycle in order to be level 3? If I don't cash them in, they become useless at the end of the cycle and I effectively lose them?

Hey people, hope you may explain / clarify for me my situation ....
Want them there lovely Packhounds...
So Ive been pledged to LYR for 10 week now and today I got around to killing some naughty Archon Delaine Piraty drug runner types....
took me about a hour to accrue 750 points and then I headed back to a controlled system..
Handed 'em in.... no packhounds available fa me !
Am I correct in thinking I just have to wait till Thurs/Pay day, at witch time I will be able to accquire 'em ?

Thanks for taking the time to read the above and hopefully shed some light on my situation.

Yes you are pledged more than long enough so all you are lacking is the rank which you'll get after cycle tick on Thursday. As long as you stay pledged to LYR you can buy all the packhounds you want after that.

If some of your merits are from previous weeks and you have exactly 750 maybe do a bit of a safety margin so you won't end up with not getting rank 3 because you had 749.7 merits actually.

Thanks Shep'

What do you mean cashing in merits? Once you have earned them you have them right or did you mean you had earned them via bounty hunting so you need to return to a faction base to have it counted? (Is that how it works? like ordinary bounties?)

I have just been hauling cargo and as soon as you hand in the cargo you get merits they can't be "Cashed in" any further right? Or is there a merit only shop or something?

Regardless of how you get merits on to your ship (either in transactions or cargo), you have to deliver them to a PowerPlay contact. If they're in either of those, they count for exactly 0 merits towards your rating next cycle.
