I realise that, and my carrier is more than comfortable with a couple of years' worth of upkeep costs on-board, and enough for several years beyond that in my account but they screwed the economy, not us -- when it comes to money, I spend some and then I earn it back before I spend some more, that way I always go up. Right now I can't do that because of their screw-up.
Fleet Carriers - Patch 3 - Known Issues
- Thread starter Stephen Benedetti
- Start date
I work in Enterprise-scale software; I understand scale and large, complex code-bases. The thing here is that this dev team released a VERY badly broken patch (and not for the first time) that they failed to detect, that their QC dept failed to detect, and yet, without benefit of access to the code, a handful of players in /r/eliteminers was able to prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the implementation was broken and just how badly broken, along with an analysis of the projected falloff in the rings in just a matter of hours. This is the kind of analysis that can and should be done by the dev team prior to release. It's one thing if they got the percentages off or they glitch something, but to completely break mining when the entire focus of the patch was on mining, suggests a serious problem with the processes being followed by the team.

Mining is right now not worth to play.. Patch the LTD´s and the Demand on Stations back as it was !!
Yes you can.
Tritium haulage is still profitable, you can cover upkeep easily. Even Polymers will generate plenty of income with minimal outlay. Anyway, making credits is still easy, and most carrier owners are sitting on billions.
I think they should undone any patches for last 2-3 years which regulates minerals spawn. Universe already exists and full of resources. Deal with it.
Then regulate prices policy and delivery options. For example more pirates etc.
That was bad idea to touch Universe
For example station demands N of X at price P. Then price starts to grow each hour. Once it gets to 3 * P it spawns NPC miners around, which can be pirated in turn. If those spawns was not pirated, price & demand grows down. Or if commanders sold some.

Sure, that's fine for me, as I'm still in the bubble, but there are a LOT of carriers way out where that isn't an option and they can't do anything but sit there for the next week... 2 weeks... month (?) while this gets fixed. Just because, as FC owners, we have large amounts of credits, doesn't mean we want to sit and watch the numbers trickle away without being able to do anything to mitigate those costs
Tritium in general just needs a major rework in numbers. Either needs huge buff in mining quantity per node, or adjust the efficiency of FC even more (to the tune of 10x more efficient with either solution). Also needs a fix to transfer directly from FC Cargo -> FC Tritium Fuel Bank. Additionally, you should be able to deploy a mining/fuel collection crew member for passive collection of fuel into the Fuel Bank.
Well, the change succeeded marvelously - now a triple overlap or even strong doubles are providing lower yields than a non-overlapped hotspot.

Tritium needs to be as common as painite, that should be fine i think?

it still works but poorly, like maybe 1 in 10 times(=90% broken!!!)...so seriously reduced yield and leaving deposits because there is no way to get them.
I always keep minimum 5k + full depot in my FC since the release of the carrier update.
Enough (for me) to go from the bubble to colonia.
Just in case
getting 11 to 15 tons of tritium per rock in a depleted system at a hotspot. tolerable, but would be better if the abrasion blaster was working....
also, prospector not showing tritium but it is actually in the rock as there are sub-surface deposits showing on the side panel. Nicely done.
nerf 1 thing break at least 2 things.

The price should climb only if the demand exceed the supply, not because of scarcity (though it may be connected).
The lower left panel in the front UI has NEVER shown surface or subsurface contents. It shows laserable contents and the presence, or otherwise, of a core. You've always had to check your contacts panel to reveal what (S)SDs are present.
Just a suggestion. Instead of trying to patch in a whole bunch of changes at once, roll them out over time. Say over a couple of weeks, every few days or so. It's a lot easier to see what change has had what effect, if there were only a few changes made. Then, if the changes check out, move to the next small set of changes.
Just realised what Tritium means now:
Totally
Ruined
Immersion
Today
Impossible
Useless
Mining

I would imagine most FC owners out in the black will have installed a Cartographics service. If you're away in unexplored space it doesn't take much time at all to do a mapping run once a week and come back with 10-20M in data.Sure, that's fine for me, as I'm still in the bubble, but there are a LOT of carriers way out where that isn't an option and they can't do anything but sit there for the next week... 2 weeks... month (?) while this gets fixed.
