Mode switching for missions and Smeaton Orbital [200mill/hour]
- Thread starter Red Fox Four
- Start date
I think it was a very good idea to reward players based on the distance from the star, and I hope it’ll return. If not these mission will simply not be worth taking, but yes they are too profitable right now in my opinion. I am thinking a 25% reduction would be about right, but I am not sure.

It doesn't.
It offers you different mission boards when the game jumps from one server to another (which is sometimes does and sometimes doesn't do) when you quit back to the main menu.
do what ever you want im i already have so much money i dont know what to do with it

Is it just me or do you guys sound surprised? Maybe the wording is a bit off, but didn't the reward increase come with one of your patches? Of course it can be adjusted, but keep in mind that those missions should pay off if you fly for almost an hour in a straight line
Honestly the board flipping is the actual issue here.
That's good, although I'd just like to say that the rewards being based on supercruise distance is a good thing and makes a lot of sense, and should be reintroduced when more balanced. I'd like to see it introduced to other mission types, as well.

It seems to me like it would be such a simple thing. Like...
SC_DISTANCE_FACTOR=5
Hmmm.... people are making too much.
set SC_DISTANCE_FACTOR=2.5
There we go, let's see how that turns out.
How is it more difficult than that?

Yup, agreed! The idea itself is neat, the payouts were way too high.
Can only give virtual rep but this brought a smile to my face.
Exactly.
It's not really the missions that are the problem.
The problem is that mode-flipping allows people to pick 'em up like pebbles on a beach.
And, yeah. It'd be nice if cargo missions, mining and pew-pew also had similar "high-end" activities too.
Good day to you sir. I represent the association of forum whingers and busybodies. We would like to make this offering of salt as compensation for your troubles.

Far too sensible.
And that took you guys 3 months, everyone is rich now, and as usual - nothing will happen afterwards. You can´t take away the credits from the players and you only can pick extreme values from the mission generating system after everything went live and the first players used it. It will be a neverending story.
If loading the ship with econony passengers is paying more than ferrying luxury or first class passengers then something isn’t right. Thanks FD for plugging those hole and hopefully more passenger fixes are incoming for Beyond.
Would you care to tell us what you consider reasonable and balanced? (I know you wouldn't, but hey at least I can say I tried)
Why thankyou ms Aunt, I'll be sure to put it to good use, drwoning my sorrows!

Mmmhh looks like I'm drinking alone, the bar at Smeaton O is pretty quite tonight (for some reason).

OK, I go to work, so I can pay my rent, food, water, electricity and other stuff. Eight to ten hours of my day are work.
I get home, think for myself "Well, lets make some money in Elite: Dangerous". I pick up passengers, heading for one station, distant from the entry star. I fly there for about an hour (depending on the destination), get interdicted along the way, so I can't do ... my laundry. I let the passengers disembark and get rewarded with a high amount of money. What do I do with the money? I invest into into ships.
Instead of removing the payouts, you could tie the missionboards to a player. I get the same missionboard in every mode.

You (FDev) have made this mistake before. Do you remember when the first AX missles got nerfed? You said, that the Thargoids have adapted. With nerfing the weapon, you reduced their effect on HUMAN ships as well.

This. How do you want us to “play your way”, FDev?
