Hi everyone, hate to start on a sour note but the new powerplay is MORE of a let down and things will only get worse for some as game items are added but newer players find it unobtainable without hours upon hours of zombie like grind.
As of now the updates before powerplay beta have been severely nerfed earnings in especially mining, now in powerplay (when it comes out), in bounty hunting if an accidental hit on say a police while fighting in a RES cannot be paid off and it takes 7 days for it to go away this means those of us that have a home system that we have adopted could be off limits because we would be attacked by NPC'S because we are wanted.
I've been reading on the forums and I am not alone in feeling that it's just too much nerf, I also think most people will agree that the game needs more content but to nerf Cr making play before content is added is the wrong direction that FD has taken because people have to grind like zombies for hours for a lot less (especially mining), but now even bounty hunting at RES is at risk for people when accidentally hitting an innocent.
Early adopters are now gazillionaires because they got in before the heavy nerfs (and I don't hold it against them as they deserve perks), but now unless we make ED our second job we won't be able to even hope to get there, and now new ships are here but they might as well be still unplayable because of the cost and we cannot hope to join the ranks of the 1%ers because of "randomization" they have put in which has seriously nerfed Cr opportunities, anyways this is just my thought and I'm not sure if I will pay for expansions if I am not able to earn without the hope of reaching my goals.
Edit; Ok, I should ask what the hell i'm doing wrong when I've got the best equipment available to mine with but instead of an improvement in Cr per hour it has taken a spiral downwards, I used to mine for 1 to 2 hours and walk away with 500,000 to 750,000 now all I find is indite, 35% on most days and platinum 3% maybe in pristine metallic rings, and yes I know what i'm looking for as it's been how I've been earning since I started, now i'm lucky to break 200,000 with 2 or 3 hours mining...how is that even possible now that I'm in a ship with more cargo holds and instead of a 40 ton cargo hold (cobra), I make less with more, it's frustrating to go backwards since the last update included "random" program, yet I never logged off and on just mined, I don't know, i'm at a loss.
2nd edit, no the new ship isn't the problem, I've tested that by going into a cobra again and I still get low %.
