I think there are enough games for everyone to play what they enjoy. People who like pretty graphics do Star Citizen. People who like spreadsheets do EvE and people who know space is big and mostly empty play Elite. None of them are simulators... People who like simulators play Kerbal.

If you want to maximize your rare goods hauls, Leesti is right next door to Orrere, and George Lucas station is the only station on the galaxy that offers TWO different rate goods (Azure Milk and Leestian Evil Juice). Just promoing it because it's my home station. :-) #IndependentLeestiForEquality
It does offer 2 but both in very small quantities (24 and 14 I believe) so better to go to other systems that offer 128 at a time. Merits are per item sold not per cost of item as well.
@@AtlasRandGaming And if you had a carrier, just jump the most close you can to the station, do some runs with a ship that had more than 128 tons capacity and store it in the carrier, when you have a good stock jump to a system of your faction at more than 150ly, and with a large ship of more than 600 tons make some runs to sell it, you can easy make a profit of 10m credits or more and around 10.000 merits for run.
Thx for the tip. I just started PP today (never even looked at it before) and got around 5300 merits in a few hours, but this looks waaay faster and easier. I did finish all the assignments though, so I'm happy about that. 🙂
Still works collected 34 cargo and sold to an "aquisition" system to recieve 1200 merits. You have to purchase from over 100 LY away from the system to plan to sell in.
I haven't played ED for a year, have they stopped that thing were you get attacked by pirates every single journey? I must admit, I got good at evasion but it was a pain in the arse.
If you're hunting for Acquiring systems, note there's a second filter button after you click the Powerplay overlay on the galmap. You also need to tick 'activity' filter to hide systems with no activity at all.
Interesting. you picked a good rare as 128 is probably the most available in a single rare. Fdev have just nerfed merits from normal trading, so don't be surprised if they nerrf this too.
@@AtlasRandGaming Had to ask, in the video you only sell 128 and gain more than 3000 merits, but I get 640 of the same rare good and when I sell it only get 680 merits, did I do something wrong? Edit: What I do wrong was to sell it to close, I try now with only 128 tons but at more than 150ly and get 2010 merits, firts time only get 200k of profits for 640 tons and only get 680 merits, this time the profits where closed to 2m and for only 128 tons get the 2010 merits, so profits matter.
Trying it out at the moment, looks like I'm getting a pretty low rate of near 1:1 items to merits. Distance may be a big factor here? EDIT: confirmed; just took the same resources a similar distance (but for my power of course), and got the thousands expected. Time to finish engineering this Python I think.
CMDRs, be aware that a player faction called The Code owns Orrere and the station featured in this video. They’re pirates in the true sense of the word, not gankers. If you play in Open, as you should, they will “request” a share of your cargo to use their services. I suggest you play along, give them what they ask for and you will live to tell the tale. I paid my dues today and was allowed to come and go as often as I wanted… until tomorrow. o7
Seems that this works for you because you are pledge to Li Yong Rui. I did this for Jerome Archer and sold in both reinforcment and aquisition systems, both earning me 400-500 merits, nowhere near as much as you did, so take this into consideration, as Li Yong is focused on trading, compared to Jerome's combat focused etos
Ya that is not a great amount of merits, but probably no worde than others. Have you tried doing a 200LY run with the same amount to see if it pays more? The difference may not be huge but I did 200LY to maximize merit pay.
As you do the things on the list they should show progress and then show finished. If they are not - read directions carefully... Like I did some missions with the escape pods and turned them in, but mission progress didn't advance... they I read the details and you have to do those missions in non-fortified systems... so did that and mission completed. So read fine print on the mission if its not progressing.
@@AtlasRandGaming mm weird I finished all of the missions and they all listed as complete. Mm I’ll go back to the power again and redo a mission see what happens then. Thanks
Same, I sell 640 of the same and only get 680 merits, I belive is related to the profit, since he gain closed to 2m and I only get 200k Edit: I just sell it at more than 150ly and the result is much better, only try with 128 but gain 2010 merits, the profits at selling matter, the first time only get like 200k of profit for 640 tons and only 680 merits, this time with only 128 get the 2010 merits, so take this in mind.
@@AtlasRandGaming Big difference, I use the carrier to get more than 1200 tons of the item, then I jump to a system at 160ly and in 2 runs of 640 tons I get a profit of 20 million and 20.000+ merits, thanks to that I now rank 7.
Just checked Inara after watching this and the supply of almost half of all rare commodities is 0 😂 seems like people got a hold of this and milked the galaxy dry
arent rares produced per player each? I head it in an engineering guid where the host was wonderring why he couldt get the 50 goods to bring to the engineer. the answer was that rares are per player and that you bring them first to their destination until they respawn.
@@DoomOfConviction They have a maximum stock at the station which is how many you can buy, and you can't buy any more than that until you've delivered/sold them and then they refresh. But most of the stock is showing as 0 currently
most important question, is it open only mode now? if not fdev can burry it. Why? its a competitive thing. being rivaled by extra instanced solo and coop players is just plain stupid.
One thing about PP2 is the interface is JUNK! Half of the time it doesn't work, or at least I cant get it to, I may need more practice, but I just feel like it could have been made more intuitive and less clunky.
Nope... still doing this today... making thousands of merits. Remember merits are priced (and power rewarded) based on distance from source. I'll add that to description too. Do over 100 LY to maximize number of merits per unit sold.

Distance from buy to sell makes a huge impact on both price and merits... try selling further away.
