Starting to feel that Combat is Rewarding

Is this real life?
That seems rather high ...
Nonetheless the game is back after the initial travesty of 1.3
I was able to find good targets at nav points, RES and CZ tonight. Somewhat refreshing, I'd all but given up on ED when the patch note announced the rank fix. I'm pleased they sorted it but it took 1.5 weeks and only after a lot of other things got fixed first that were of lesser priority in my opinion. Still, all's well that ends well. There's a nasty bug preventing accurate bounty totalling on the info screen though. Cashing it it does work thankfully.

There's absolutely no reason to trade at all now. It used to be RES camping would earn more than trading in anything smaller than a Clipper (which is ludicrous to begin with, Hauler/Type 6/Asp/Type 7 were all useless). Now RES camping earns twice as much as trading in an Anaconda.
Can you say FD seriously borked things up again?

Enjoy it while you can. I expect it'll be reduced soon.
It paid for some new thrusters for my Python. I don't see myself running out of things to buy any time soon, not least because I only have a few hours a week of gametime and I spend most of it at the moment doing Powerplay things.

It was about 300k, I think. Certainly wasn't enough to make me think "well I won't be doing that again".

Yes it is a bit crazy.
If you get an instance with big ships it can be a constant stream of high value targets, and there are too many cops to help in hi intensity sites too.
I wish they would just do it always with a mix of large and small (mainly small) all in wings of at least 3 or 4 to make it challenging (and with fewer cops).
Do you have an out of context screenshot to prove it?
I severely doubt 300k in a python considering the updated buggy repair costs for modules.
No I don't have a screenshot to prove it. If it makes you feel any better I didn't repair W&T but that was already pretty much down at 0 from earlier in 1.3. I only lost shields once during my time in the RES hence the not-very-high repairs.
For full disclosure I also had to refuel and buy some more missiles. And I ran out of Coke Zero quite early on in to the 90 minutes.
Well you have two options.
One: I'm lying.
Two: I'm telling the truth.
If you assume the former then surely whatever I post will only be to reinforce the lie (I do have a copy of Photoshop lying around somewhere) rather than prove my first screenshot false.
In fact, come to think of I don't believe there is a single screen in the game that shows both your current bounties and the current time so short of recording the whole 90 minutes (which, regardless of the fact that I didn't do it, probably wouldn't be that interesting to watch) I'm afraid I can do nothing to give you definitive proof.
You're welcome to come round and watch next time I go RES hunting. You'll have to bring your own drinks though; I'm all out of Coke Zero.
I'm just saying, as with all things that are used as evidence. We can't really prove or disprove your statement, and you can't prove it either; so we come down the line of inconclusive data...so it should be ignored, and/or at the very least taken with a real small grain of salt.
Whether you are a habitual liar or not is irrelevant.
High intensity RES are a lot of fun and rewarding right now!Therefore they will be nerfed because, you know, flagellants.
You need to consider the type of person you want to be. Do you want to be someone who always disbelieves, even when there is no reason to disbelieve, or do you want to be someone who trusts because there is no reason to disbelieve? Because, and here's the secret, it's a choice you can make. The "pics or it didn't happen" crowd aren't the cool kids, they're just the distrustful ones.
By the way, the latter do get hurt more, but generally end up happier.
