I'm fine/happy this was removed, but please don't "fix" it by just dividing all passenger payouts by 100 or whatever has been done in the past. There are a lot of missions out there now with absolute garbage payouts (1-5k rewards) because they keep hitting things with a hammer to fix them.
Mode switching for missions and Smeaton Orbital [200mill/hour]
- Thread starter Red Fox Four
- Start date
If you are getting interdicted 6 times on Smeaton runs, you were doing it wrong. Once, maybe twice tops - And evading interdiction isn't hard.

I mean, is the only thing that you could do that is satisfying is to play in an anaconda? Do you really need the ultimate ship after an evening of play? I know personally I *could* fly an anaconda but I don't, why couldn't you do everything the same but with a cobra?

They said it had been removed until further notice. I believe they plan to work on it during the beta.
"We can confirm that this is due", "detailed investigation"... Are you serious? This was a feature that you introduced in 2.4. It's in your patch notes, for God's sake. Are you trying to insult us, or is it just incompetence? If you have decided, 6 months later, that this feature gives too many credits, just say so. Do you really think this way of presenting things makes you look better than that?
BTW, I'm happy to see the exploit go. Though the underlying issue, which you will never fix, is board hopping.

And so what?
You don't like: don't do it.
Is it an Open Universe? So open choices too, or not?
I don't get why some players want to impose their own way to play...
I agree
It's also a persistent multi-player only game, so options need to be constrained by how they affect the game for others.
I enjoyed the small amount of time on this - fell like I'm getting back into the game.
Have called for my fuel scoop, cargo racks and scanners - off to grab some bits and pieces for some engineers.
Heard that Palin one is a beast to complete so with the new version out soon best crack on getting those G5s :-D

And the answer in this case is "in no perceptible way".
Only if you're oblivious.
so please
1. tell me why exists the SOLO and PRIVATE mode?
2. tell me how affects you how many credit I have...
(I hope you won't play the card of system economy [big grin])
Yeah - the meteoric rise of people with "end game" ships that also tend to just wanna grief people is problematic IMO. Its part of the reason there was such a big push for private group players. Are the new conda pilots morons - probably. But the devs did not have this current reality in their vision and they are working to correct it without toppling things over.
All the armchair developers trying to fix the game are hysterical. You haven't the slightest clue about how difficult something like balance is.
The argument "Dont like it, dont do it" applies to folks who dont like the changes. Just stop logging in. Nobody cares, and FDev already has your money.
HAHA - They should leave these exploits in SOLO play. Let the money hungry children get their rocks off in a safe space.

I think this is all rather ridiculous myself. It's nothing more than one group of people telling another group of people, when both groups already slapped down their money, how they ought to play the game. The logical progression of any enduring game like this is that, with a bigger ship comes greater rewards. If advancement is not incentivized in any meaningful way, then what's the point of ever leaving your ever faithful sidewinder? It's a video game, not an actual job, so let's keep that in mind shall we?
I love how everyone here is arguing over this not realizing it’s literally just a game,why does it matter that people are able to make millions for flying in essentially a straight line for 40min? Because the things you want to do don’t pay that much perhaps? That I think is the true issue that keeps causing rushes for missions like this.
I personally would like to be a strictly combat pilot in this game but bounties, combat bonds, and missions do not pay enough for the risk I take to do them, so yeah I would wind up using missions like these to get out of the unbearable grind that basically makes you have to play this game as a full time job to get any sort of meaningful progression, I should not have to play 20+ hours to get the rebuy on my ship back, at most it should be 2, doing whatever I feel like doing, be that exploring, trading, mining, or fighting. I will agree that yes rebuying your ship should be a detriment, especially if you committed a crime, but even then 20+ hours of doing what I consider fun in this game is a bit on the extreme.
TL;DR: it’s a game stop complaining about how people make their money, and just boost all rewards to that kind of level, and we wouldn’t have this issue.

ooooh you open my eyes!
thank you so much man!
I mean... real man!

Break it down for me then, Capt. Not Oblivious. If you're referring to the BGS, have the biggest [haha] I can muster.
Balance, n:
The act of gutting something when a minor reduction is better suited
I can do Frontier's job better than Frontier can. Crap like this shows either cruelty or incompetence, possibly both. I lean more towards the latter given how we were first told that this was working as designed, with a dash of utter, sneering contempt for the player base.

This was my impression and the main reason I partook.
Poor Will, having to sign off on that!
