As a boardflipper

They fixed a symptom not the problem.

Is it an exploit? Has anyone been ever banned for it?
It is bad nonetheless, when a game is played more comfortably by repeatedly logging off and on, instead of actually playing. There is something badly wrong with game mechanics, if that is the case. Overall it is less about easy money, by the way, as others have already pointed out.
Frontier changed it into legit gameplay logging in and out after that meta alloy CG..
 
Daft? Ah I see. So it suits you to use one exploit and feel compelled to complain about others that you don't use. In my school we called that hypocrisy.

Are you really trying to convince me that logging out and then back in to repawn the area at Dav's hope is inteneded? If not not then it's an exploit and you are cheating.

No.

It's daft to compain that something that isn't causing problems hasn't been changed when something that does cause problems has.

*EDIT*

As for Dav's Hope, the beacon there used to reset every couple of weeks.
FDev changed that so it resets every time you log in.
That would seem to suggest they want people to be able to get more stuff from there.

Personally, I haven't been to DH for almost a year.
It's easier to just bung collectors on my Corvette and hoover up mat's from combat.

I see less missions than I did before this update.

Apparently one reason for the change was to reduce server load. I've had many game freezes plus the awful hours where I can't even connect.

Good job! Onwards and upwards, eh?

This what I'm seeing, no increased payout and 3m CR missions are no where to been seen.
 
More missions = more choice (on average)
Fewer missions = less choice (on average)

I am in favour of more choice, however it is provided.
We now have less choice than before.

Saddle-up the white knight cavalry and charge.......

Hi. Cavalry here.

By removing an exploit, the number of choices the game gives you remains the same. Unpopular opinion, I know.

Let me know how well the missions work for you in X4. :)
 
Ok it's a pain to do when one is docked at those big stations, and considerably easier at those medium one in space and all planetary docks. But if one leaves the station far enough where as one has to request landing again, the board will refresh. Once you get the hang of it, it's actually just as fast to do as it was to board hop, which doesn't work anymore thus my way is now the only option. The previous way of board hopping still works if and when your in a situation where you ship is in trouble, and you know the rebuy screen is next.

A big diference in there: A new game released 1 month ago.

Elite is a game with 4 Years (2 days to complete 4 years) - The dev already have ALOT of time to address the issues, but they don't did this, instead, they removed the only way the players have found to fix their mess.
 
Keep insulting people rather that rebutting their arguments. Saves discussing.
its kinda hard to discuss with someone that thinks he has the moral high ground, and thinks his way of playing the game is the one and true way, and everyone else is wrong..

Everybody in every argument ever thinks they have a moral high ground. If they didn't, there wouldn't be an argument.
So instead of pointing out obvious, go on and convince me that your ground is higher and that the mission board should, instead of various missions for everybody, contain only missions YOU think are the best earners.

Well, when the way others were playing the game is something that FDev felt compelled to prevent, he kinda has a point.

*EDIT*

And, just to be clear on the "moral" aspect of your accusation, when you're playing the game in a way that you KNOW is likely to cause problems for the game itself and for other players but you keep on doing it anyway, there is a moral aspect and you aren't the one with the high ground.

OK .. will do.

Also actually _read_ what I said. Just in case you want to discuss what I said, not what you think I said based on prejudice.
Assuming your horses mane is not in your eyes. (Following your advice here.).

I read what you said. It's nonsense.

We already have infinite choice of missions - within the bounds of the game's catalog of missions, at least.

You just have to be prepared to fly your pretend spaceship around a bit to find them.
In a game all about flying pretend spaceships around.

Mind: Blown! :O
