Following the recent Operations update in Elite Dangerous, players are discussing ways to expand how Merc Coins can be earned. Suggestions include awarding small Merc Coin amounts for on-foot missions and Combat Zones, recognizing the increased challenge of ground combat compared to ship-based activities. To maintain balance, proposals also consider a weekly cap on Merc Coins earned outside Operations and letting players select Merc Coins as a reward option. This community-driven dialogue highlights interest in diversifying gameplay incentives and increasing engagement across different playstyles.
