Few issues need to be taken care of in the next patch.
The economy needs to have an effect in influence. Aka if i haul 15000 weapons to a station (which i did), that we want to enter civil war and take control of the system. So far no effect.
Been hauling in weapons like mad and nothing. So it doesn't work as intended. Hoping for a fix to that.
And the profits from piracy, bounty hunting etc need to be balanced out to match trading. Selling stolen stuff in the black market with half price isn't worth the risk of piracy. Trading is by far the best way to get your profits through the roof. Mining is worthless as is. Took me 4 hours to get a 100 platinum, which are worth around 1,9 million credits (if you even find a source of platinum that doesn't have 1944 pirate players running around). In the same amount of time, could almost double that profit by rare trading. So is there going to be a fix to make mining worth the time? Trading could also be 10 times as risky as it is now. So you wouldn't be able to make 200k in less than 10 minutes... That's stupid really. No risk. Good profits.
Wings are the only thing i've heard about the new patch so far, that's great.
Explain how do the wings work?
And here are a few suggestions:
1: IF the trading is made riskier somehow, have an insurance for your cargo. Nothing too expensive, but atleast have the possibility of having one.
2: Make it possible to actually join a specific faction and fly under their colors, it's doable as you did it in the conflict areas.
3: Make the salvaged goods SALVAGED and not stolen. It's ok to have illegal salvaged cargo and be punished for it, but when you clean up the airspace of biochems or whatever and getting And have a possibility of helping your fellow commanders somehow, who have either been shot through the canopy or had their thrusters broken down. Atleast for the thruster issue. Most trolls just fire at your thrusters, then leave you there to self destruct, just to be an ass about it.
