| Aug 14, 2015 at 21:46 | comment | added | Frank | @Keith I don't play Elite; I dunno. I think the asker confirming it's a dupe lends sufficient weight to keeping the question closed, though. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 21:43 | comment | added | Keith | @Frank cool, I still think it's worth its own sub-question. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 21:41 | comment | added | Frank | @Keith 'tis. SE added a feature a short time ago to allow askers to confirm if a question was or wasn't a dupe. If they confirm, Community closes it for them. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 21:41 | comment | added | Keith | @Frank does it? I thought if OP could just remove it, which is what's happened to me (admittedly on SO, rather than here). I thought Community was just the SE bot? | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 21:34 | comment | added | Frank | @Keith It might be worth pointing out that this question was closed by Community, which means the asker themselves has indicated it's a duplicate. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:31 | comment | added | Keith | @Unionhawk I've read a ton of questions, answers, wiki pages, and watched a load of videos, and I still don't think I have all of it down. PowerPlay definitely merits more than one question. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:30 | comment | added | Keith | @Unionhawk I'm happy for you that you find it so simple - that does not appear to be the case for the vast majority of Elite players. A quick Google shows loads of people asking these same questions on the Steam forums and Frontier's forums - it's obviously a confusing and complicated feature that lots of people are looking for help with. Your answers aren't even complete - you havent mentioned turmoil, or the effect control points have on your ability to turn in your cargo. You haven't mentioned that only some powers have cargo-based preparation, or how to spot control and preparation syst... | |

| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:15 | comment | added | Unionhawk♦ | @Keith There are only 3 or 4 methods of earning merits. A comprehensive answer covering all of them would only add "to fortify, bring cargo from HQ to a control system and turn it in at the power menu" and "to prepare, bring cargo from any control system to a preparation system". That's hardly too huge of an answer. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:12 | comment | added | Keith | @Unionhawk it's a subset. A full explanation of all the ways you can make merits in Elite would cover several pages of printed content, and would not be a good fit for this Q&A format. A subset question, like this one, allows for more detailed answers on a more narrow and specific case that can be much easier for users to find and digest. If that wasn't the case I'd just ask "how do you play Elite?" and then close every other question as a duplicate of mine. | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:07 | comment | added | Unionhawk♦ | @Keith The question is asking how to earn merits in ways other than trading. How is that not a duplicate of a question asking more broadly how to earn merits? | |
| Aug 14, 2015 at 14:03 | comment | added | Keith | @Unionhawk this is a complex question requiring a fairly lengthy answer. While it is probably a subset of the question you've marked it as a duplicate of I think it merits a question of its own. | |

| Aug 14, 2015 at 12:41 | comment | added | Unionhawk♦ | Increase your standing as in earn merits, or improve your power's position on the power play standings? | |
