A list of things I have observed since Beyond released:
So... apparently passenger missions have been nerfed after they were "tweaked" after the whole Quince issue. Great. Passenger missions suck now. Boy, traveling dozens of thousands of light years for 5 million credits is such fun. Yes, I actually saw a mission payout with that number recently. No, I do not have a screenshot. I never bothered with those missions because it's just so much fun to go around a sun and hit the J key for over an hour. And then you have to go BACK.
BGS decided tons of skimmers needed to die. Whoops, new system backfired, better remove the skimmer missions entirely.
Whoop, mining missions started paying a bunch. Better remove those.
Reward system gives more rank advancement. Gee whiz, I'm sure data and donation missions are next.
New C&P kind of makes smuggling and assassination pointless.
Every time someone whines about dying in PvP, things get changed around to make PvP less viable. Man, staring at NPCs that do the same things and say the same things all day is such fun. Easy PvE is where it's at amirite?
KWS updated and- oh, look, bounty hunting is even less profitable. Hurray.
CGs never seem to deviate from the formula. There's a CG for truckers, and a CG for people that like to shoot things. Never anything else. And more people go for the shooty CG than the trucker CG.
I'm starting to expect ED to show up on the "[Game] didn't/isn't just die/dying, it was/is murdered/being murdered" video series. The new content's great. It really is. But what's the point of enjoying it if the very foundation for any and all game interaction is just one huge mess?
