What about. Money was too easy before+ I got a lot of money and there is nothing to do since I love trading= Game sucks Im gone
Replace the bolded bit
I did my calculations based on the most profitable trade route I found tonight was about 25,000 in a Type 6.
In order to earn say 4 million to fly a Type 9 (with full insurance and cargo), you need to make approximately 160 trips (that is if you can find that profit both ways).
Lets say it takes 10 minutes to travel and dock between system. That's 1600 minutes. That's 26 hours. Longer than most games.
What this is is simply grind. Grind sucks the soul out of games. Its what many MMO's pass off as content.
Basically you are taking the trading mechanic and making a game out of it by itself. Trading although somewhat fun is simply not that deep to make 26 hours worth of entertainment without getting bored of it.
Its so easy to lose everything in this game, it has to be balanced by decent incomes otherwise it becomes a grind.
Grind kills games. Its that simple.
...and all this is based on a beta...
The Devs changed the equation for trading today. Patience...
i don't know what all the fuss is, there is still money to be made if you know where to look, i just made 130k on a return trip in an anaconda (228 Tonnes) it took 2 jumps each way to do it but i didn't even need to look at the trade routes to find it.
The 'fuss' is that it suddenly got less easy. Today's children...
Yep you can still make 280k return in a single jump in a T9 ok thats half what you could make before the tweeks but still nothing to be sniffed at. Plus you can likely make more if you look for multi jump circuits A>B>C>D>A rather than straight A>B>A shuttles.
True. 280k is 2 vipers do you know that? New players spend days to get Sidewinder > Viper.
I mean this is good, i would even throw some anarchic systems between A>B>C>D to add risk element.
You can get fish, cheaper, elsewhere.
Try battle weapons they were selling for >7000 per tonne on the black market in a Federal system.

There is more to this experience than credits in the bank and a type 9 in the hanger.
Be thankful you have some credits in the bank, kit out a viper (or hauler) and go bounty hunting around the resource sites or unidentified signals.
Chances are we're going to lose it all in a week or so, so you might as well enjoy the cash before then.
