The Elite : Dangerous dichotomy

I remarked that when I do money, I am not having fun.

I hope FDEV manage to let us have the cake and eat it someday...
 
Dude, stop doing your money. That's gross. Other people have to handle that.

And please, please don't do the cake either.

Having fun, is a major distraction to making credits in this game. Especially if you are looking at a loss, due to the 90seconds taken to dock. Of course there is also the issue; that when you have a little saved, there is that module; you just HAVE to have. Lucky we all have RESs to fall back on.

I have been in a warzone today for an hour and a half.
Had great fun, made 3.5 million.

Good enough for me.

Was bounty hunting and doing illegal hauling missions for a few hours yesterday.
Had great fun and made multiple millions too.
All good as far as having cake and eating it too is concerned.

I do not need to make many millions with everything I do.
Instead of making more money I would like having to follow a target through several system, or having to spy on a pirate base in an asteroid with specialized tools (taking pictures with a camera that sits in a weapon hard point for example, or having to hack a computer inside and plant some spyware.
Or I would like to do some secret missions for the military, having to search for an enemy listening post in deep space etc. etc.

There is bounty hunter and bounty hunter.

Doing money with bounty hunting is certainly possible :

Money = not fun
Fun = not money

And then this 3rd independent variable, CAKE, is suddenly introduced!

Where is CAKE in the first two logic statements? You simply can't toy with mathematical logic in this way!

With mathematics you can toy with anything.
 
Lie or not, I'm not eating this cake:-
:

  • 1 (18.25-ounce) package chocolate cake mix
  • 1 can prepared coconut–pecan frosting
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
Don't forget garnishes such as:

  • Fish-shaped crackers
  • Fish-shaped candies
  • Fish-shaped solid waste
  • Fish-shaped dirt
  • Fish-shaped ethylbenzene
  • Pull-and-peel licorice
  • Fish-shaped volatile organic compounds and sediment-shaped sediment
  • Candy-coated peanut butter pieces (shaped like fish)
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • Alpha resins
  • Unsaturated polyester resin
  • Fiberglass surface resins and volatile malted milk impoundments
  • 9 large egg yolks

  • Cranial caps
And it contains proven preservatives, deep-penetration agents, and gas- and odor-control chemicals that will deodorize and preserve putrid tissue.
Ingredients omitted by the cake core (that are part of the recipe, according to Valve) include:

  • 1 1/4 tsp. baking soda

You mean that?
You cannot make money bounty hunting?

There are some very lucrative bounty hunt missions too.
But they depend on your combat rank (I am almost Elite, but not quite).
I got 800k the other day for killing 16 pirates.
And that is not even counting the bounties they had.
I also scan them all, which can greatly enhance the bounty income.
On top of that I pledged to Lavigny-Duval (although I am no longer active for PP).
That gives me a bounty hunt bonus if I hunt in her domain.

And me too.

:eek: what sort of monstrosities is that?

No, no- really. Let him go on, it's actually pretty interesting...
 
Mmm, cake.

I do fun and money by killing things for the Empire. Criminals, terrorists and rebels, all with bounties or combat bonds against them.
Some of the terrorists were even trying to smuggle dangerous weapons codenamed "basic medicines" to civilian populations! The horror!
