Hello Frontier Development could you do us a solid and remove the "target will be available from [x time- y time]" please this is really unnecessary, i rather making the target difficult to kill than be wasting time; specially for players that don't have 5 hours to play everyday most of us play...

I've been playing on-and-off since launch but I haven't progressed super far. However, I'm sure it's not just me that feels like combat payouts are abysmal right now. Combat zone payouts are tiny, mission target counts are unrealistically enormous, and half the time your kills don't count...

The fact is, FDev has a history of failing to properly balance and incentivize both solo and especially multiplayer activities, and we have all seen this happen time and time again. Something pays too high to the wrong rank of player, and instead of redesign the mechanics of credit payouts to...

I personally feel when it comes to missions, you should get some sort of bonus money based on how valuable your ship is, like first, the initial price of the mission, Plus an extra 50% Rebuy cost money added. The more expensive your ship is the more money you will make through doing missions...

Just curious if Frontier tunes in to the channels on YouTube, and perhaps they could take some time and listen to what this group discusses. Because, A Lot of people think Exactly what they are talking about. Elite Dangerous is a game that a lot of us put a lot of time into, and want to play...

I have so far ignored influence. But I seem to get some small amount with pretty much every mission I turn in... Is there any reason I should care one way or the other? Any practical benefit?

You should be able to buy engineering materials with credits. Currently I have been flying for around 3 hours hoping RNGeesus blesses me with the high grade component I need, this is not engaging gameplay nor is it fun. It is the sole reason I am playing less and less Elite these days, because...

As the titles reads. "Credits, Fun & Progression", these three things seem to be, according to a multitude of forums posts, what the player base is torn upon. Bug reports have have been made about the most recent skimmer mission farming method. People have made appeals to FDev to even have...

I think it would be good if you could get a loan from a factions bank that you would repay overtime; that way you would be able to rank up easier and get the ship/loadout you want/need faster. I think it would help new players and existing players alike. If you didn’t keep up repayments you...

Elite Dangerous' update cycle and game balance is one of the most neurotic in gaming. They either fail to notice a glitch that causes extremely unbalanced payouts/exploitable payouts, or otherwise take a new fun, rewarding and enjoyable game mechanic and nerf it until it's no longer fun or...

So a lot of players have been upset this week by the removal of a couple or credit fountains and the possible action on a third... When one of these pops up a lot of us jump on them because we know they don't last very long. Typically everyone throws their collective toys out of the pram when...

I'll start by saying I'm a huge Elite and FDev fan. That said, I believe some thought needs to be put into cargo mission payouts for those of us with large ships. For example, why is it so hard to find missions that pay 100 times more than the beginner missions, when I have worked my way up to...

The haphazard urgency with which Frontier handles high-credit farms is so nonsensical and strange. If it were a game like WoW where players could purchase game-time or greatly effect the economy, their methods would make far more sense; quickly fixing the issue would take priority, even if it...

Hello Everyone, Its been a crazy week with all thie gold rushes and easy money making bugs...so this is definitely a symptom of a bigger problem with the game on how it rewards it players for their time. Quick story time: Yesterday i was doing boom data deliver missions that are one of the...

So with the Skimmer Mission gold rush behind us I have been trying to look into what the best methods are for earning cash and reputation with the Federation and Empire as I do not yet have enough rank for the Corvette or the Cutter. And working with other members of my player faction we seem to...

To the game designers at FDev: After the disabling of the passenger distance multiplier and skimmer mission, the community has been kind of...how do you say... annoyed? I feel like a lot of the vitriol can be quelled (at least slightly) by a little bit more clarity in a few aspects of your...

I'm only asking so we players can helpfully bug report the next opportunity to crawl out of the eternal primordial sludge of personal progress.

..should be killing the alien species that is slowly getting closer and closer to our core systems. It's the biggest threat our corner of the galaxy has met in hundreds of years, yet the Pilots Federation is cheaping out, while we're supposed to risk our lives against them. They also hurt like...

The Federation initiated an unprecedented bombing campaign on civilian targets in 35 Leonis Minoris Saturday. Oxley Keep and Harding’s Folly have received the brunt of the assaults, which President Zachary Hudson described as carrying the full “plasma and fury” of the Federation. Interstellar...

The Smeaton Orbital passenger mission runs were fun, and many of us stacked up the credits. The Galaxy is changing, however, and we must change with it. What's the next big thing?! I am not sure I remember how to do anything else besides make billions. What are you guys plans now? Are there...

There’s no payment for anyone who explores as part of a multicrewed vessel. I get the Exploration is getting some love in Q4, but it’s still a bit of a kick in the teeth when an NPC crew member is still taking their cut from Universal Cartographics and other Commanders get zip. Combat bonds...

So lets start off by saying I love this game. All what I am about to say is my opinion and mine alone I don't represent anyone or anything but MYSELF Formality's out of the way lets talk Elite First off lets start off by saying. Nerfing honey holes is a sign there is a issue with acquiring...

Do the mission in obsidian orbital in the maia system!!! Really funny to see a CG reward for top 10 commanders being 25 millions for a week of work and i get this much in 15 min haha... This whole rank and progression earning credits is so broken.... Better profit and make big credits while...

TL;DR: Combat seems to not earn enough compared with other activities (listed below). Is there a way of making it more profitable? Hi everyone, Are combat missions, bounty hunting and combat bonds really underpaying right now? Around a week ago, my experience with ED was mostly combat oriented...

I've bought a Cutter, but in order to have a decent loadout I need to grind many, many credits. I've heard that passenger missions are the best missions for that purpose, but what are my best options? I'm currently peddling bulk passengers from Rhea to LQ Hydrea, but the missions don't pop up...

I am delivering this information for 0 CR, What good is a mission with a reward of 7 CR, REALLY!! CMon, you can do better than this. I can handle the odd 150,500 CR but 7. Bet no-one has had lower than 7 offered.

Hello commanders, While I have nearly 600 hours clocked into the game and while I have always silently watched the forums for a couple of years I finally decided to reach for the keyboard myself and write about my experiences with Elite because I can finally say that I can now bring a well...

https://youtu.be/Wv7WLEtmJNY Remember : if you are fine with small ships and so on, it's all fine, you do you, but don't come to me saying there is no such thing as "the grind" for the big3...
