Soontills relics not paying out any Merits???

I filled my carrier with soontills relics. Now I'm out 300ly away form Ngurii and anytime I sell them I don't gat ANY merits. not a single one. I am in a expansion system for Li Yong-Rui (my pledged power) and I'm not getting anything.

Would the fact that i filled my ship using a sell order from my carrier (because transferring from a carrier to a ship for the amount of 1200 tonnes takes AGES frontier pls fix) have anything to do with it.

I'm at a loss, I spent HOURS filling my carrier with the intention of finally getting prismatic shields and now my efforts are seemingly pointless as im not getting ANY merits.

You don't get any merits when you store rare goods on a carrier, same with mined goods.

I might be wrong, but I want to say the latter has been that way ever since carriers were released - mined goods lose their "mined" tag when stored on a carrier and, if I remember correctly, didn't count for mining CGs in the past either. Or something similar. Point is: Goods are tagged in different ways, and those tags can change when storing or selling them to a carrier, which can have consequences for other activities. Been that way for years.

Be careful what you store on your carrier.

That still doesn't make sense, Frontier should change that or at least make it explicitly clear to you that rare/mined good will have its tag changed when storing in the carrier. Had I known I wouldn't of used my carrier and spent my time flying in between system. But as I have utilizing my carrier as my main method to transport large amounts of good, I just defaulted to that, because I have it, why not use it.

It also doesn't make sense logically that storing something on YOUR carrier would invalidate it from earning merits. The carrier is intended to be a tool (a very expensive one too) to allow a more effective gameplay. What would make me or any other CMDR think anything else then that.

I can get maybe taging something differently if its bought of a another's CMDR's carrier for gameplay reasons and bla bla. But your carrier is your own and you should be abel to use it and accomplish what you want with it. Putting in these limitations just kills the already very minimal value there is in having a carrier.

well what can I say. It's been like this for a while, and it's probably not going to change. You can throw a fit about it, but that doesn't help. Well it might help your mood if you vent a bit, but that's it ;).

It is what it is.

Yeah but once again these things should be clearly communicated INGAME.
Because gamers are gonna look at the game and come to obvious conclusions based on what the game offers and in this case they gonna get slapped in the face with a reality they can only verify in the forums.
Elite D has always had these silly underhandedisms and it needs to stop.
Player engagement is on the rise and these types of threads are gonna keep popping endlessly and justifiably so if i fdev dont step up and clean up their ingame communications.
I mean we've had double supercruise assist messages plastered across our screens for ages, and constant "wrong cockpit mode" messages.
But a blip that says "if these rares touch your fc they become toxic" hell no this is too much to ask of course.
