This is a guide to help players understand what merit points are and how to obtain them by CMDR Triton Zeal. This information is accurate as of patch 1.4
Merit points are what a player receives when they turn in [[Powerplay (bonds)]]. They are used in the [[Powerplay]] system to determine the [[Ratings|rating]] that the player will receive at the end of the week. There are 5 obtainable [[ratings]] in the game. Each [[Ratings|rating]] comes with its own associated perks that vary by faction. However each [[ratings]] merit point requirements and cash payouts will remain the same no matter the faction the player belongs to.

Players can choose to walk the path of the pirate in order to gain merit points. This entails finding Logistical ships from any other faction and forcing them to drop their cargo by either shooting out their cargo hatch or through the use of hatch breaker limpets. After the ships drop their cargo the player must scoop it up and return it to their factions space for a reward. This type of merit farming can be used on allied factions without encoring penalties so long as you <u>DO NOT</u> kill the ships you are attacking.
