So you swap misanthropy for misandry ? Pure genius . <| sep |> Thanks , gonna check it out ! <| sep |> Raising your powerplay rating to rank 5 10 , 000 merits will provide you with a salary of at least $ 50 million credits . Get pledged to a power , wing up and start undermining enemy systems 30 merits per enemy killed . Kill 333 . 3 ships . Thats over $ 150 , 000 credits per kill and the payout is not split with your wingmates merits are not split either . After that it will only take 166 . 6 kills to maintain your 5 rating . So now you are looking at $ 300 , 000 per kill . If you don ' t maintain your powerplay rating , you ' ll receive a diminished salary in the following weeks , leading to payouts of $ 5 m credits rating 4 , and then $ 500 k credits rating 3 and so on as your powerplay rating atrophies . So the least you will make on a powerplay rating of 5 is $ 55 . 5 million credits closer to $ 165 k per kill , paid out as salary over the course of three weeks . I hit rating 5 for the first time last night . Did it with a Cobra Mk III and a generous amount of support from my powerplay wingmates . You might make more credits from bounty hunting in ALD , but the powerplay method is viable in a wing and for me is more enjoyable that way .
