Fighting the Scythe of Panem in the Interstellar Initiative

[VR SenseiMatty]

I spent around 30 minutes in a Combat Zone [Medium Intensity] and we won.
This is what I got... is it normal?

The payout is tied to the kind of ships you blast iirc,
that is why most CZ enthusiasts take on combat contracts
to up the payment.

Wow - you got a CZ to actually populate with ships and complete. Dang. Kudos to you Commander.

I destroyed an Anaconda that worthed 35k cr, then I destroyed a Cobra for 25k. A Python was about 30k if I remember correctly and so on. I definitely destroyed more than 10 ships so the average value is there, but imho it's too low. I focused mainly on Python and Chieftains.

I know some people are having this issue, but luckily this time it's not my case

From what I can tell, the CG is actually paying on the high end (normally when I run CZ for BGS, the bonds pay way less).

Yeah, this is what you usually get after one round in medium intensity CZ.

NPC ships in CZ's are harder to kill than the ones in RES, USS or general missions, that's why they pay a lot less. That's pure ED logic for you.

everything in this game completely sucks compared to the mining metas. they were a major departure from credit per hr on most things previously.

Do combat bonds turned in for mission completion count towards the CG in the same way as bonds turned in through the Contacts panel?

Haven't ever taken any kind of combat mission so I have no idea how they work.

 

[Florenus]

People usually take Massacre missions for ships from enemy faction before going for CZ.
Since you're killing them anyway, you can earn more for that this way.

You have to turn them in at the CG station or they won't count. Tested it myself yesterday.
