Can we have an New Era for rewards?

[Rat Catcher]

Currently missions, for me, are mainly about the mats being offered - not the credits as the 'pay' is often stupidly low. I'm not an enthusiastic miner so will do so only when the situation dictates so, have no 'need' of billions, but would change that if we ever see FC's introduced and know 'how much?' if that exceeds my liquid assets at that time...
But as it is today, many missions 'reward' is very poor

but alas seismic charges will only come in large then just my luck!

But surely making large seismic charges would be progress? No point in bothering with all that fiddly old-fashioned medium kit!

Carry a cobra full of (Insert who cares does anyone even look commodity here) across to a system one jump away
300,000 credits.

Assasinate a pirate lord - 100,000 credits.

Sure.

Again, I wouldn't be surprised.

I do think they'd allow players to keep exploration data, though some finds might disappear if changes are caused by getting rid of the square blocks of stars currently in Stellar Forge.

And existing players might be allowed to bring forward cash assets, as happens now when players move between PC and console. But for the New Era that could be on a logarithmic basis, i.e.:

Got a million? Keep a million.
Got ten million? Keep two million.
....
Got ten billion? Keep five million.

And that's how you will get rid of your entire player base in one fell swoop.
Or.. .players will simply pour their money into ships, Buy all A rated stuff, when the credit crunch happened, sell the ships for some minor loss on the sips and 0 loss on modules.

Yeah the balance in game regarding earning credits is way off imho.
I still remember setting off in my FAS and knock out a couple million in a HazRes.
Nowadays I'll have to wait for new targets to show up and an hour later I should be glad to earn around 800k.
I only vist a HazRes now for materials dropped by my targets and for fun, if I want some credits I do other stuff.
I've never ever mined and I probably never will either, it's just not something I think I can enjoy.

I can get paid more for delivering bio-dung down the road then I can for destroying 12 pirate ships.

Six tons of LTDs sell for more credits then most mining missions pay with a 40-ish ton collection requirement.

Take this scientist 6,000Ly out the bubble to see Strong-G? Nahh, I'll take these business people 15ly down the road for x3 the credits.

Get into Top 10% for a galaxy-saving CG? LOL, let the galaxy burn while I'll crack open those Void Opal rocks over there.

You liked me killing enemy ships in a CZ and because were allies you wanna offer me a mission? Sure, for how much? .......no thanks, that's an insult, I'd rather haul bio-dung.

So haul Biodung and stop complaining?

 

[TheSisko]

So haul Biodung and stop complaining?

No. I believe the game can do better than this.

 

[Stealthie]

yeah prob, peoples stats could be an interesting point too, not sure how happy id be losing my distance traveled etc.

in that economy transfer i would buy as many cutters with class 8A fuel scoops as possible and cash them back into credits once transferred.

Great idea.

Cos', after all, the same company that's refused to remove "god roll" modules for fear of upsetting a handful of people is going to be perfectly happen to just erase ALL the progress that EVERY player has in the game.

No. I believe the game can do better than this.

I believe I’ll have another drink.
