Do you think he might be still analyzing what actually happend here and what has he done?

Well, if I had to accept what has been written about me, I should answer:
You are all noobs, and I am THE ELITE MASTER.
For what its worth, Nerfing things like the overlapping hotspots and making it much harder to gets credits is not a good idea. I have been trying to get some people interested in this game and they keep hearing bad things like what happened with patch 3. I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears, but this can't continue to happen. I know I'm a nobody but I play and I continue to come back again and again. I would hate to go away because the developers don't like the fact that people are making to many credits. I am ok fixing exploits that clearly give advantages to some. Why can't some of the other long-standing issues be resolved and some of the older game mechanics be enhanced and updated?
Just my 2 cents worth.
Thanks

They have acknowledged problem with "diminishing yields" in hotspots and apparently are working on fix.
We can hope that delays are caused by doing it right this time - with a lot of testing.
Time will tell.
Their problem.
Earning credits even without mining is very easy. Combat, when we stack (yes, stack massacres still working, missions must be from different factions) missions and bounty is good. Trade is good. Different missions are good (obviously, not when you want outfited cutter/carrier after few weeks). Mining just broke, annihilate perception of many, many players and they think, that some activities are pointless, and without rewards, because they can't earn 200m/h.
Regards from player, which don't use exploits, and mine 1, maybe 2 times.
PS: Mining was broken. "bad things with patch 3"=lack of possibility of easy and reckless making 200m+ per hour.
Now it's broken both ways.
Painite still gets you 250 mil/h.
AND
Mininig THE ONLY resource that people would mine for reasons other then credits grinding is half-broken.

And they still talk about punish of new players and money grind xD
Well after few days i surrendered and accepted the fact,
that number of players who are so lazy,
that switching to SSD mining is too much effort for them,
is much higher then I expected.
I guess I have been projecting my adaptation abilities to others.
What actually negates accusations towards me of considering myself better then others,
but this is not what I wanted to write as point.
What really exceeds the limits of my tolerance,
is rejection of Painite laser mining as "new mining meta" and demanding the rollback of the last patch,
bringing back EGG SSD exploit and excessive amounts of LTD in overlaps.
I have to restraint myself from writing what I think about such people,
some of my posts have already disappeared and I treat it as a form of "quiet warning"

Thanks for the update news ...
Excellent so I can schedule refuelling mining trips again
No like from me this time. I really don't like this vision...
This moment in life,
when you make grim joke,
and it turns out to be a prediction.
I'm not at home yet, I will try to find later funny statistics from short mining run in VO hs.
I have found 2 VO cores, 1 LTD core, and had to jump very quickly out because I had full cargo (128t)
Rest was Tritium, which I was mining from SSDs "by the way", only from non- or slowly-rotating rocks,
and sometimes from surface IF deposits were on rock that had SSD too, or very close.
I don't even bother flying 2+km to get 2-3 surface Tri, because I consider it a loss of time
I just shoot next 4 prospector almost sure to get at least 2 Tri SSDs, sometimes 3+ times as much.
(No, it's not about ME, it's about mining in nonorthodox places. Everybody can do it.
Even
peasants
Clearly not everyone wants to do it.
98% of your posting history is in this thread - constantly ramming 250t per hour for SSD tritium mining down peoples throats. We get it. You made that point clear in your 1st post.
Yet 160 (give or take) posts later you are STILL going on about it. I am watching this thread to see if there are any updates about the patch - not to read/skip an unending stream of drivel about your mining accomplishments. 1 or 2 people in this thread have a love affair with your accomplishments, but on the whole, no one cares - certainly not after 160 posts.
Edit: I refer to 98% loosely - I didn't get my calculator out.
Heh, I just realized how shocking it would be to some of "forumees" to see places like miner's discord where players like me are the "98%" and whiners are exceptions.
They are not happy about changes, but they still enjoy the game, researching math behind current state of mining mechanics just for the sake of it.

The IGNORE button can save you from reading a lot of (patronizing) posts
That's what I did and I feel better already

Ignore is for the ignorant
I used to work with someone who wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. He would come to me with ideas, most of which were dross - but I would listen. Out of 100 ideas, if he comes up with just 1 good idea which helps me or my business, it was worth listening to the other 99. However, he didn't repeat his 1 idea 160 times to me.
The point being, you may post something one day which I will think "Hmmmm didn't think of that."
It's not right or wrong - it's THEIR choice. You aren't the Elite Dangerous Police to chastise those who don't follow your holy word. You made your point 30 odd pages ago yet you are still trying to "convert" people like some zealot.
