Thanks, just the ticket FD. well done.
@Bruce Garrido Has the issue with single hotspots outside of the bubble not containing what they advertise been acknowledged?
I travelled 15,000ly into the Formidine Rift on a mining trip, and in probably a good 10-15 Low Temp Diamond hotspots I didn’t find a single sub surface deposit. Now heading home disappointed.
Can we get some kind of acknowledgement that there is an issue here and if it’s going to be fixed?
Many Thanks.

Glad to see the SSD exploit fixed.
Classic case of I don't do it so not many others do.
If the next big thing costs 50 billion because of exploited money I cannot hope to afford it. Tell me how it does NOT affect me?
I’m fairly happy with most of these changes. In fact, I don’t mind the SSD exploit fixes. But, like I said before. you can’t be just about nerfing. FDEV's job is to balance. There is a REASON why people were exploiting. Because your overlap nerf absolutely murdered appropriate SSD spawn rates. I expect in a hotspot to see a decent amount of appropriate SSD's to match it. Instead it is mostly water and other useless deposits. If you were going to nerf the exploit (and rightly so), you could have at least addressed the root issue of appropriate mineral spawn rates. They are ABYSMAL. CORE asteroids need to be maybe 25% more common and give off at least close to the same amount you could get from an asteroid with 4x SSD's I can literally get more LTD's from a single SSD deposit than an entire CORE. This is absurd.
Secondly.
#1: Thank you for some of the FC changes. However, there are 2 things that need to happen. we should have an option to let Friends/Squad/Wing deposit cargo for free (with a log).
#2:
#3: MOST IMPORTANTLY - A checkbox option for FC's persistence. Seriously. Has FDEV you been paying attention? The bubble is fracking saturated with FC's. It is nearly impossible to find a parking spot near anywhere of importance. Worst yet is that I know that there a good many that have parked their FC's and just left them hoping people will buy/sell from they, but they won’t due to the market limitations. I am personally tired of seeing FC's with the name [WE BUY LTD MAX] permanently stationed outside Kirri's Icebox. FC parking is an issue. We should have the option to remove them from persistence when we want, only enabling the feature when we want or need to. When disabled the FC acts like any other ship and is only persistent in a private group.

If FDev sets a price tag based on money earned by exploits and you blame the exploiters, you are then barking at the wrong tree.
So are we, but at the moment it is the only way to advertise the carrier's prices without going outside the game. I'd much rather call my carrier "Atramentous Rose" instead of "BUYING TRITIUM 28.5K" but that's what I have to do for the moment.
Believe me, as soon as FDev provides a better way to advertise prices, my carrier's name is going back to what I want it to be.
I like this idea.

I would not be against such measures, but to me the main annoyance was the bug itself.
Well, it is what they based the price of carriers on. Looked at the money people had and assumed it was normal amounts. In reality it was due to super grinding in anticipation of the higher prices. They did bring down the costs, though.
And their own missions + community goals.
They can simply write a query for their API and see whose wallet skyrocketed by billions in a manner of hours,
to then delete the excess money earned that way. And maybe dish out a week or so of ban for the offenders.
Some people sitting on 100's of times the money they would without exploits WILL affect future prices.
So I guess you're going to stop playing now.
This game is BARELY an MMO, whoever made their billions the easy way good for them, I hope they purchased something shiny and new that makes them happy to play their game their way.
I didn't because I'm dumb, also focused on a different target at the moment.
Can we all agree that the entire game from the bottom up should be re-done for balancing in mind, why are there so many sodding limpet controls, where are the modules to add thermal or kinetic protections, the engineers themselves are all over the place and some blueprints are pointless due to their scope or limited effect. The missions seem to have interesting actions but they're presented in such a plain way, it's virtually a format copy of from Frontier: Elite 2 and I reckon that's the most frustrating part of all of this. Elite Dangerous doesn't know what it wants to be, so it fails at pretty much everything it does.
Try one of those mining missions and you'll need a combat ship before jumping in to the mining ship to mine - OR you could try tanking your mining ship and making sure you're in a high security system, but then you lose out on the credit rewards for their destruction plus their bounty.
FDEV needs to do more, we are all hoping a positive change will be seen in the ambulatory update but who knows. Based on past examples it's going to convoluted and strangely random based outcomes and that would only be hilarious to people who already don't play ED and don't want to.
That's the problem, you can see how fast they solve a glitch where you earn lots of money like the SSD one but yet the other activities dont even pay half as much as mining.
This game isn't balanced, It's nice to see they fix stuff, but they shouldn't focus their attention on mining, in my opinion, the other activities are in higher need of a fix or something to make them worth playing
