So im currently halfway on grinding the 500t for Selene jean when i noticed........other than her Armour upgrades this game literally has no reason for mining.
I mean you spend a good bit of playtime mining and for what? a possible 200+ ton of cargo worth maybe 50k credits. Now you can increase profit if you use prospecting limpets and by selling at better markets i know, however this also increases the time frame to do it.
Personally FDev i think you should have some sort of increase in mined ore, like lets say i buy it in the market normal price occurs, but for self mined product i think it should gain a self mined status and maybe a percentage in the 30-40% increase in profits with rare at 50%?
This way mining will actually be a thing as of right now i never see CMDR's mining and those that i have or heard of done it purely for Selene. Make this playable part of the game worthwhile, im not this type of player that will mine all day however i know alot of people who for whatever reason love it but chose not to in this title due to the insanely low profit margin. Not to mention the only profitable mining ship is the cutter with a grade 5 fsd to even return a somewhat worth it profit (The ship isnt even intended for mining), and even then your better off doing the trading runs where you can buy the same items you can mine but yet make a 600%+ profit/time margin.
Please Fdev make it worth it and if not a percentage bonus on self mined ad least have much higher drops on engineering materials that way we have a bonus of either turning a semi-decent profit from it (to make it an actual career ingame) or another way to grind mats for modifications thats worth the time involved.
