Another ARX thread (Complaint)
- Thread starter Serenity03
- Start date
I am not complaining.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
The point i was making was about the quoted inferal that there is a stealth increase in cost.
But as it is now I have a choice of Pj's to use for my Cutter and Clipper.
I don't intend to balance anything, it's not my call. But it's quite obvious that the current balance of arx distribution is anything but balanced, we're not talking about real world monetary value either, but 400 arx, that's a large enough number to allow a far better balance than what is currently in game.

I don't care,it's all free stuff anyway.
*staggers off to celebrate new found wealth and a ticket to the history books.For the next twelve hours,regales party goers indiscriminately with tales of derring do's and don'ts before falling asleep in an overturned soapbox.

For Miners looking at ARX :
- check your supply of G1-G3 Elements !
If it's full, so that the ejected Elements during Mining don't get scooped - you get 0 ARX with those.
But if your Collectors keep hauling in those Elements... expect alot more ARX.
So if the stacks are full, hit your nearest Material Trader and ensure there's some space left for mainly G1 and G2 Elements, ideally also for the oddball G3 Element.
Based on own Mining Trips (full Element stacks) - 2 ARX for xxx M Cr of Painite/Void Opals, some 54 ARX for a handful of HGEs found enroute to sell (lol).
I take it the ARX balancing for Mining assumed that Miners would also scoop up all those Elements, otherwise I'd have no explanation.
And since scooping Elements delivers quite alot of ARX, I guess one is best off to do just that. Ensure those are scooped.
(on the downside - that means pure Core Miners are left in the cold... needs some Mining Lasers firing at rocks - so above really only shines for Painite Mining... I guess strip-Mining a few rocks enroute or doing that with a false positive might be a compromise - although that'd mean you're literally just "Mining ARX" then, so it's a bit of a lousy compromise.)
Makes me wonder if if wouldn't be better if blown Rocks were to also eject a whole bunch of Elements along with the Fragments they blow outside?
It'd make sense and help balance this out (Core Mining vs. Elements scooping)
PS.
It's the same btw. with Exploration in Deep Space.
The Scanning/Mapping accumulates pitiful amounts - but once you head down and do any Codex scans and/or scoop up some Elements, the counter starts really rolling in comparison.

More like obscene credits and arx or stupidly obscene credits.
1200ly worth of exploration netted me a massive 30 ARX today.. Yeah, a massive haul.. According to EDSM, it's about 5million credits worth, clearly an obscene amount.
It was aimed at combat versus mining, not exploration.
I'm sorry but there are much more pressing issues and balances in ED to be concerned about imho then a couple dimes worth of Arx.
The easiest balance option FD could take is to remove the free Arx all together. Then no one would have a reason to complain - right?
Totaly agree with you.
If you look at how much discussion and complaining these 30 cents per week has caused, it's just not worth it imho.
Yep, whatever FD does it will upset someone to the point they will throw themselves on the ground and have a good old tantrum complete with screaming and kicking.
If FD base Arx purely on transactions, then the poor explorers miss out.
If FD base Arx purely on activity, then someone will want to know why doing nothing is paying.
If FD base Arx purely on time, then someone will cry that everyone else is just logging on and sitting in the station.
Just get rid of the free Arx, of course then those complaining now will now complain that they aren't getting something for free.
Even worse, for those of us who capped out Arghhs each week, there will be "you got more of them than me for nothing, not fair!' comments...
ATM on my Alt I'm on 270 so far this week, most by playing in a High Res to rank up my SLF pilot...
And when you take a step back, we're still talking about 30 cents per week maximum.
Yep, not even enough to buy a bar of chocolate
But at least it is amusing and not sniping at anyone in particular... You can tell the game is in a bit of a lull
That's why we can't have nice things.
Probably because you took too long and didn't earn the arx.
522 painite should take less than 90 minutes.
Also stop whining when you used to get exactly zero free things for playing.
