And they now BUFFED the merits... so here is what it is the next day... $1365/merit so however much you sell in money, divide by 1365 to calculate merits.
Reinforcement Systems: mine and sell in the same system (fortified/Stronghold/etc) Aquisition systems: Mine in your fortified power and sell in the Acquisition system Undermining: mine in enemy power system and sell in your fortfied system
LOL, I literally have a "Mining for Merits" video coming out tonight! 😅 Great minds think alike, I guess! That, and mining is one of the few merit activities that hasn't been nerfed yet... Anyways, keep up the great work!
Thanks dude and I need to get a video on ED Copilot out... you did a good one but the Author has added some features for that I asked for and it's an awesome product.
@@Sighman only issue there is that the stations in that system may not be paying squat for whatever you're selling. I spent 2 hours in my power's territory mining platinum and only made 4K merits. Total waste of time.
An idea for ed copilot tutorial would be to break it down into sections. Cover basics in first vid so beginners can get up and running and then do as deep of a dive for each section as you see fit. Should give you plenty of 15-20 minute content that the TH-cam algorithm likes...
Ya and I kept repeating that... HOWEVER I was challene on this and did a test video where I used 3 types of lasers on the same rock and found the ONLY difference was speed of getting the rock from 100 to 0%... That is it. The amount collected was the same with all lasers - conrary to what btoh D2EA and I had been thinking.
I like how some of the elements in ED are actual. Osmium, Grandiderite, Musgravite. Yet others are false: Rhodplumsite has no real world counterpart. Did you know that Osmium is the "most dense naturally occurring element"?
As of 24/11/30 Core Mining the right stuff in the right system is the best merits. Found a system of my power, Reinforcing, with high Monazite price, with actual Rocky rings and Monazite hotspots, gained like 10 levels by casually selling 30-80 t a pop in the evenings, hope it will not be nerfed, b/c finding the right rocks is a b*tch, even if I know the shape and color on PWA.
I really like mining and trading in ED but I ended up pledging to a combat focused power. Turns out mining for merits isn't as fun as mining for credits.
I believe all the powers get merits from selling materials you mined (in same system) so you should be ok. Whether platinum for surface mining (find system buying for over 200k in your power) or deep core Monazite (find systems buying over 700k in your power) they both make money and merits at the same time.
Yeah, I hope I can use this, yet I feel like Im gonna be done dirty by Frontier again, delivered all the data I collected over the week and got 0 merits, made a python mk2 to go kill fighters and they nerfed it 90%, I dont wanna do trading... guess mining it is if I even find a system for mining with my power... =/
I couldnt find a damn rock with alum on an alum pristine hotspot, so after this I went exploring and now came back, they said 6x buff on exploration, delivered a system to test it out, 0 merits. Iv sent the issue to frontier already Im not selling my millions in exploration till its fixed

1365cr per merit?? Is that right? That means 500t of Platinum (at current best price 219,4865cr would net you over 80,000 merits
@ yup
@CMDRKailoren so a little under 94 trips to Max out your power rep
(Forgot to add a 0, 10 trips)

Wanted to try mining for PP2, but it's such a hassle to find the right system atm... 😢
1) pick a home system where you want to do powerplay
2) mine there and turn it in to the station(s).

Would love a video on ED Copilot please!

I believe D2EA found that the class 2 lasers mined more efficiently - as in the progress per "chunk" collected was about 30% more

Rhodplumsite is a real ore
@@Jaaxfo oh yeah. You're right. But ok. Void opals aren't a thing I'm pretty sure.
Please send me a link to the program for calculating the cost of the cargo that you showed. PLEASE! I REALLY WANT ONE! I couldn't find it =(

Just do 10 more runs and you're at 100!

feel like this while be obsolete by tomorrows patch
For once, they actually buffed things!
@Afro__Joe the end of 24 is hitting us with all sorts of nice surprises
What is the mining app you have in the top left?
@@Hellcat-UK1 in video 18:10
Nice video, thanks. Now get rid of the repeating background music so we don't go insane =)
Yooo, THANK YOU!!
What is this 3 party tool ?
That is ED Copilot. I will have a review/tutorial of the tool soon. Sub to know when it comes out!
@@AtlasRandGaming thanks , subbed
@@AtlasRandGaming ok, this app is a blast. Highly Recommend!
Is this working still ?

I think they just buffed combat… by a ton!
This is after they buffed merits, not before.
I couldnt find a damn rock with alum on an alum pristine hotspot, so after this I went exploring and now came back, they said 6x buff on exploration, delivered a system to test it out, 0 merits. Iv sent the issue to frontier already Im not selling my millions in exploration till its fixed
its same system only for reinforcing btw
+25% Bonus ...
Duck that mining, duck that merits!
You're certainly persistent ;-)
He will have the accurate "Most Merits" guide whatever it takes XD
Love me some EDCOPILOT
