I've noticed that I sometimes score merit and sometimes don't when capturing or defending bases. While I haven't figured out the pattern yet, it isn't anything logical. For example, I participated in the entire capture of a biolab satellite, no reward, then hopped on the jump pad for the final 3 seconds of the biolab capture, full reward. Sometimes a base will be most of the way down and we save it for no reward, other times the clock ticks to seconds before we flip it back and I score merit. So, is there a reason it wouldn't be scoring? Or should I be submitting a bug report?
There needs to be a certain amount of defenders in a base for you to get merit when it flips. I think the thing is about 20%? Not sure, but I would suggest you get out of ghostcaps/zergs and see if you start earning more merit.
