Yeah, they should lower the rewards. I also got ten million for two trips with the brandy.
Easy Money or what?
- Thread starter Glock_N_Load
- Start date
Boba Fett works for a million per bounty minimum. In my opinion they should make proper bounty hunting missions - not these nonsense 'Rambo the entire wing' assassinations but actually tracking down a single target across systems and even across planetary hidey holes. Where Elite targets are worth 1 to 4 million and have the the no holds barred 2.1 AI.
The feeling of tracking down and fighting an Elite should be like a mini boss battle and you should be justly rewarded for that. Embracing the Boba Fett factor - THAT's what bounty hunting should be imo.
Last time we got lots of tears because of death by AI everybody got insurance back. Even people like me who never asked for it, still don't know why I got it back.
We ain't need no money for such situation, FD is gonna fix it
I don't think I got my two rebuys back and I think I would have noticed because it came out to 60 million.
I agree.
And I think that random NPCs should not have static bounties on them based on ship class or rank but it be mostly random.
So you could get lucky and kill a sidewinder worth 900.000.000CRs or get unlucky and kill a anaconda worth 14.000
Maybe the system could base its AI not just on the rank it shows you but hidden values that give the NPC a fake backstory (
Same here CMDR it took one trip though.
And here's an example of where all this leads...

I love people who act like that. The people who try to help him/her are putting way more effort into this than (s)he is. The thread is basically "pls fix my stuff, kthxbye". And when someone mentions the fuel rats, instead of at least trying Google the reply simply is "Fuel Rats??"
If you can't be bothered to at least try to fix/understand your problem, I can't be bothered to help you.
Usually it seems that they don't need other people to tell them how awesome they are because they are quite happy to
tell everybody how awesome they are themselves. Seriously, the amount of self pleasuring posted by people on these boards
makes me embarrassed to belong to this community sometimes
Agreed, but then again they would have to make some sort of tracking/searching mechanic for that. And I don't see that becoming a thing anytime soon, sadly. Same story with mining and exploring.
I am not sure what the billionaires spend their credits on, I am happy with my ships and with the CG's have about 500 mil spare which I would love to build a little base on a planet with if it ever came to the game.
Fairly soon we will run out of things to spend credits on.

The End Is Nigh!!!!
Reading this thread made me think...
What if the hyper deflation we are seeing in terms of credits is a prelude to a massive crash, technological, economical, and social collapse across the bubble, a loss of all markets, and exploration data, complete and open war across all areas of occupied space.
The result would be that the credits we held could not be spent, were worthless. Where the only way to upgrade your ship or repair it was by bartering through the black market or running missions.
How far would you need to go to before you found anyone that you could pay with your creds? 22Kly maybe?
What kind of cataclysmic event might cause such a huge collapse of a civilized space faring society?
Alien invasion maybe...
Now that would make Elite, Dangerous...

Quoted because I believe this is an insightful post everyone should read.
Angry old men shout at clouds. Are you evening listening/ reading what is being posted?
Frontier can't actually make gameplay trump all because the idiots still keep listening to angry old men shouting at clouds demanding that everyone walk uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes.
Honestly.

I don't see how insane amounts of money are going to constitute any kind of preparation.
I'm pretty sure the Thargoids won't take credits in exchange for our lives.

that's not what "gameplay trumps all" means, at all.
Good gameplay includes good pacing. Getting rid of supercruize would change that pacing. People would miss supercruize if travel was 100% instantaneous. But I doubt many people will miss being forced to spend hours of travel just to move a damn ship from A to B. When something very simple takes so long that most people prefer to simply not do it, there is definitely something wrong.
Only sometimes? ;-)
I was at about 1.1 billion before the Morai CG, now I have over 1.4... Starting to get the itch to restart my game again. Maybe go back to piracy and salvage, I miss the struggle when starting out.

Sorry, what game economy are you talking about? There's no player-driven market in the game. There's no player-to-player credit transfers. There is NO in-game economy except the static model that's been there from the start, and that was always rather poor from a traders perspective (it made no sense to trade in anything but the most expensive of items, as the margins on those are always the highest).
So... how again does having a large amount of money change anything in the game? The only thing that changes is that people may be more careless with their ships and / or not worry so much when / if they get blown up and be able to get the new super-expensive ships.
Oh, and BTW, if these high-payout CGs are temporary to allow people to buy the new ships, once you're back to "old" CG payouts, then it might turn out the new ships are so massively expensive that even Sothis runs won't be able to finance them in any reasonable amount of time.
