177 ARX for a couple hours of combat

Bloodsign

The ARX cap just reset for the week. This being a weekday, I could only play a bit less than 2 hours today, but made 177 ARX already. I have no problem maxing out every week; it seems combat is a really efficient way to get ARX.

- I did not die at all.

- I mostly massacred pirates (about 15) and raised some cain in one system, blowing up a half dozen system authority vessels and a half dozen civilians.

- That's it. 177 ARX. It's possible that my results are based on my combat ranking (Dangerous) and the level of opposition I was up against (I was in a HazRes for the pirates).

Yeah, whereas passenger missions are terrible.

I took some fool to 3 barely working tourist spots (see the geysers, except there weren't any at the tourist beacon, a bug surprise surprise) and jumped for 2 maybe 3 tedious hours to end up with 15 or so ARX. Even did the FSS thing along they way.

Spent a few hours destroying 100 ships in combat zone, rewarded with 300 or more arx.

For sale, Buluga. Only used once.

Oh btw, combat zones seem to be bugged (surprise!) in that if you just go straight in and choose a side by laser, you don't get any combat bonds.

I've been mining yesterday for 90 minutes and got myself...

drum rolls

1 arx. (one)
And earned 1 for exploring, prolly because I scanned a ring (I already scanned, but that as an aside).
So I guess you are lucky.

But hey, 3 weeks ago I got no arx, so this is progress (y)

Oh, I haven't handed in the ores I mined, so maybe thats something. Not holding my breath though, don't really care much about it.

I'm not sure I've amassed 177 Arx since release, but then, all I do is jump-honk-scoop-scan-map-repeat.

I was kind of bad about looking at the Store website when the website listed stuff for sale. Now that it's only seen in the Livery, and I just don't log in there, the game play isn't engaging, I'll likely never know what I don't want to buy anyways.

I'm in a deep space, scanning systems and mapping planets. After about 10 hours of gameplay I earned the incredible amount of 26ARX.
At this rate I will be able to buy anything decent in about 1000 to 10000 hours... I only played about 530 hours since the game launched.
Looks encouraging :D

I've mined about 4 billion in VO s in the week and I got 56arx in the bank. I also did a lot (an awful lot) of CQC but I know that pays zip
Not good career choices for arx earnings

Yeah, credit income comes with a loss it seems, and no totally unfair... I was hoping to buy a potted brain tree for my fleet carrier at the end of this year, now I wonder if I'll ever manage in this life.

Visited the material trader for manufactured materials on Thursday, maxed out my 400 ARX in ten minutes. Probably will be nerfed if it hasn't already. Especially trading 216 grade 2 materials to get one grade 5 material will get you 10 ARX per.

Who are we to question how free ARX are given to us for "doing what we did before and just playing the game"?
Developers spent many months preparing this update, so this must be well thought out decision.

that being said...

Jesus F**g Christ, just give people ARX for time spent in game - everyone will get equal amount, they will not think about it anymore and will probably just play the game. Even if some people will run the game without playing, they will only boost statistics of active players and there's always weekly cap. Right now people can find ways to reach that cap in minutes. Beacuse this system is soooo brilliant 😵
