Another ARX thread (Complaint)

Heeeeee's cheeeeeeeeating... KILL ALL HIS ARX LOL
While I don't disagree with your sentiment it's not really the point the op was making which is the disparity of arx across play styles, why should 5 hours spent mining net so much less than similar time spent killing ships.
The CZ will earn much more. You get Arx for destroying ships and also for scanning them (counts as exploring, when you receive data-mats).This week I've been fighting in CZs with massacre missions, and also taking surface missions from another nearby system. I maxed out in two days. I don't know which was earning me more.
When the war's over I'll take a stack of surface scan and generator kill missions and see what it earns me without any other mess tying things up.
One thing to consider is that I stacked a lot of those surface missions before the thursday tick when my arx were already maxed out since they give you a pretty generous 6 day timer to complete them, so I wasn't at the mercy of the mission board to give me some. If skimmers and turrets still count as "a kill" then that's a pretty swift way to rack up some combat arx if you don't mind a bounty on your bomber
Same here and I also opened a ticket asking clarification. The answer was that it's working as intended

It's a transactional system. Try selling your painite 1T at a time....
Should be easy to script and make them reassess the crap Arx earnings when the amazon potato is flooded by senseless queries.
Huh - when you pledge to a side in a CZ it automatically insta-scans all ships in the zone, I didn't think that still counted.
really? okay...been in no war with our pmf for awhile. Thought it would count like in a hazres for example. I got lot's of data scans when I was "pleased" to visit a cz for one of my passengers. I always got some data as well the according arx. Maybe because I was then not pledged.
5 hours mining nets you obscenely more credits.
Don't play for Arghs.
I never played for Arghs in the past and I sure won't do that now.
Sheesh man you're making a fuz about a couple dimes a week.

Yes, so? Just highlights that they still need balancing as well.
Not sure I've made a couple of dimes in ARX since they came out, meh, care do I, no.
How do you intend to balance a maximum of 30 euro cents per week?
pre ARX I bought the tactical paint jobs (set of 6) for the cutter and clipper they were £3 per pack
to buy all six tacticals for the clipper = 620x6 =3720 arx
the same for the cutter 3720 x 2 = 7440 arx
to buy them all now under ARX It would take the 8.4k arx package at a cost of £4.99
So as far a stealth price increases go. I will let you decide.
o7
So you have 6 cutters and 6 clippers, all with different paint jobs. Impressive.
Edit: Wait - so before the two packs would have been £6, now they are £5. Now I don't know if you're complaining at all
Try purchasing some with earth money.
I've never played any on-line games before, and feel privileged not to have to pay a monthly subscription. So I am happy to bung FD a few quid every so often.

For me it's usually the other way around...What? You're not getting sex for playing Elite?
I think the point for this apparent asymmetry is that combat orientated activities pay very poorly in terms of cr/hr. So the current setup seeks to balance that.
So:
Go mining if you want to buy lots of cool in game assets.
Do combat for fun, rank and some ARX.
Of course this is quite a simplistic assessment.

I just spent 1h in a Void Opal Spot. I cracked 3 asteroids and collected a total of 46 opals.
This is the equivalent of ARX:
