Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

Hello Commanders,

I have just started with Powerplay, when 1.3 was released I was out exploring and so never picked it up at the time.

Now I have decided on a power and currently looking at merits, specifically the fastest way to get merits, after reading some posts I gave undermining a go.
Last night I gained 150 merits in around 30 minutes (excluding travel time), this was by interdicting and destroying federation logistical transports.

For 150 merits, I only needed to destroy 5 ships.

I have read that when in a wing, everyone in the wing gets merits for each ship destroyed, so that means if I was in a wing of 5 last night then for 30 minutes of fun destroying "Enemy" ships everyone in the wing would have got 750 merits, not bad for 30 minutes work wouldn't you agree?

I am pledged to an Empire NPC and looking for anyone not pledged to a federation NPC to come out hunting for merits by undermining the federation.

My game time generally is around 8pm - 11pm UK time and I would like to get the 1500 merits to reach and maintain level 4, I understand to maintain level 4 this will require 800 merits per week, so if commanders here are up for a fixed time each week.. even better
Anyone up for this?

In game my commander name is: Digga

Quick update.

Tonight I am heading to Mulachi
It's a good target for undermining in terms of 35% undermined so far, I'm going to improve on that.

Anyone wanting some easy merits over the next 3 hours+, find me, Digga in Mulachi

Only just seen this post and about to logoff, maybe tomorrow evening?

I made 750 merits solo, now if that was only in a wing of 5 eh

Add me in game if you're interested in undermining vs. Federation in the next few hours.

I will add you later today... a new cycle and more undermining to be done.

Even solo Rating 4 was easy to obtain and obviously will be easier to maintain but if people are up for doing this in a wing, all the better.

I will be undermining from around 8pm UK Time this evening.

A quick update, I have been doing this solo and can easily hit my 800+ merits per week target in under 3 hours.

I am still interested in joining a wing and I am now targeting independents to avoid hostile rep with the federation.
I have also been considering rating 5 and the 50,000,000 CR bonus per week, to maintain rating 5 would be around 6000 merits per week...

My quick math tells me a wing of 5 can do this in under 5 hours based on:
* solo player can get over 800 in under 3 hours (including travel time - boring 3 hour vid on getting merits https://youtu.be/nNi8okPAnVg)..
* solo 5 hours would be over 1200
* 1200 x 5 = 6000

Rating 5 by undermining independents anyone?
Fly safe commanders
