That's the price of easily repeatable anywhere. Your fellow pledges don't see an issue with that and are already undermining Ba Xian again.
Not that strongly they don't, for most of them.
Bounty hunting is pretty constant in availability; Boom/War state to activate megaship or installation scenarios is nice but not essential.
Rare goods are barely affected by state at the destination end (when enabled)
Salvage from Power signal sources and fighting Power enemies is pretty constant in availability (maybe lots of other states active at once might flood them out)
"Flood with low value goods" allows Hydrogen Fuel or Limpets which have minimal state dependencies (well, Lockdown wouldn't help, but that's rare).
Holohacks and ship scans are independent of the BGS and trivially repeatable in any system where moving the slider is likely to matter
Odyssey settlement raids are a bit easier if the base is shut down but again, not essential for it to be.
Donation missions are a bit more variable but most states generate a decent spread of them.
(Many of these have no notable cost but time, some of them even give large credit profits)
By murder, or by something that's actually effective?
Not getting into an argument with you. I'm deadly serious when I mention paid DLC for bug fixes, thats the point it has gotten to for a lot of players. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion though, so fair enough if you think my idea is rubbish. Yes the idea of paying for bug fixes is dumb, but when we've voted, raised the issue multiple times, waited months if not years and got nothing, we may have to pull out the carrot on a stick. Give Frontier what they want (money) and we get what we want (a game that actually works). Sounds like a fair transaction to me.
However I hope you know that Frontier have employees to pay, offices to maintain, taxes to pay, shareholders to pay dividends to, don't you? To think the revenue generated from ARX will be allocated to the "bug fix" pot over the aforementioned priorities is just wishful thinking. If you need proof, please refer to the plethora of ancient, gamebreaking bugs that have not been fixed despite odyssey, despite all the new ships and cosmetics they've released, despite the price hike of cosmetics and despite years of waiting in faith for fixes that never materialise.
Good day to you.

Based on the activity, by murder.
Drop from supercruise, blow ships, supercruise. Drop from supercruise, blow ships, supercruise.
It's much more effective than you think. There's zero downtime and it's a seal clubbing party.
Each to their own my friend.I have bartender for a nice view... so, thank for you sugestion but not
And most of the merits from that presumably come from "kill Power ships" at 50-100 progress a time depending on rank (and no notoriety, too) rather than the 10 or so from them also being illegal?
I think it would be precedent, and I suppose reactions woule be rather like: "Why I should pay for something should be done long time ago", and what with players without that DLC... they will stay with bugs? Bug fixing aren't like additional content. You can do it as an additional DLC. That's why I was sure you are joking.
Frontier is more than Elite, and what happened in the past, happened in the past. This year is totally different, and we need just to wait for info about this year in the meaning of financial revenue. But... you can find now some graphs. It is nice lecture. We don't need to guess.
And more... according to the thing like fleet carrier jump timers they improve this game constantly. So I am sure it will be time for old bugs too, probably after make this game more financial valuable for the Frontier Portfolio. (But TBH it is still solid in its 10th financial year)
Not sure about the targets, but they put 190k in undermining using this last week. System Security dropped to Low, there's Pirate Attack currently.
I was in open and they would show up in Recent Contacts and drop right away.
Again: easily repeatable, zero downtime.
I tried selling 72 monazite in a reinforcement system just now at 730K/t. No merits. And yes, they are freshly mined.
But selling smaller amounts of the lower valued minerals (alexandrite, benitoite) gave me merits. So I think if you hit a certain profit threshold when bulk selling, it disables your merit gained somehow.
What happened to merits for trading?!?
I think Fdev expected the last Thargoid titan attacking Sol to cause a bigger turmoil. The update caused turmoil alright, just not the kind that they expected. I bet they didn't expect people to just ignore the big event and just whine about bugs in the game page after page after page.
To be fair, I didn't expect that either. I came here after seeing the teaser video, and was expecting something a bit different in this announcement thread.

I think CMDR just practice killing skills by killing time when waiting for thargoids arrival into Sol
Paying somebody to fix the mistakes they made by accident is only an incentive for them to make more mistakes.

I am sure they want to do good job with Elite. So I just finger crossed.
Its not though, because you also have sec level (which dictates sec response time / ATR threshold), available NPCs as well as a whole host of other factors that are not as consistent as you think they are.
Legal ways don't lock you out and cost you nothing, and yet are rewarded far more highly.
It's like an infinite money exploit.
Just supercruise and drop back. Infinite NPCs at your murderous fingertips.
