This is by far the safest and slowest method for obtaining merits. The pilot must go to their factions capitol city and pick up cargo for fortification or preparation from a station. The amount of cargo the player can pick up at any given time is based on that players current rating with their faction. It ranges from 10 every half hour at rating one up to 50 every half hour at rating five. After the player picks up the cargo they must transport it to a system for fortification or expansion depending on the type of cargo they picked up from the capitol. Once they arrive at their destination system they simply dock and turn in the cargo under the contacts tab at the station. | This is by far the safest and slowest method for obtaining merits.
