No there seems to be a lot of us stuck - looks like they broke something....
Hope it means the damn mission timers get stopped or my rep is well stuffed and I will need to move on !!

Although coming to ED later (late beta) and started rare trading after the "unlimited" supply has been removed, it quite perfectly describes my story and I feel exatcly the same way right now. Tendencies are bad.
+1 for it!!
Its not only about rare good changes, its the total picture making me a bit worry. FDEV need to work on communication with the community if don't want to loose them. Its starting to get essential for ED.
Yup - the penalty for missing my mission timing will be hard to take.
Combat is for no lifers? That's not most absurd statement I've read so far. Combat is part of the game like any other part of the game, way to generalize there buddy.
I spoke too soon.....so far in 1.02 the landing pad lights "disappearing" may have been sorted.
u know guys it s good nerf for rares. Other way every silly normander was able to bought Anaconda in a month or even earlier. Rares allways was some kind of exploit and i am glad they finally fixed it.
Rares needed a redoing. Waiting at a station for respawn isn't good gameplay. But making them irrelevant is worse. Trade isn't working, so there's nothing left for traders.
I believe he meant that to be able to progress financially in this game, you would need to do combat 24/7 to earn enough. That's how I read it, anyway.
So what if people are not doing "story mission?" I don't play 99% of the other MMO's because I could give a @#$% less about their "stories," and they're so wrapped up in their clever "stories," that you just run around following orders instead of playing a game you like for your own reasons.
OK - I'm off to make a Chilli. See if the game loads in an hour or so...
I've yet to see any rare goods (being a fringe explorer type) so I -- as yet -- don't know what all the fuss is about!
Thought it was just me lol. Been bounty hunting for a week and making less (after repairs) than I was in my 1st week in a Sidewinder running missions. Its got to the point where I've stopped paying off fines just so I'm not making a loss
Have some Rep to ease the pain a little, fellow sufferer of the current ludicrous 'pay-wall'.
For me the old system for rares was not necesarrily the best way to make money but it was a different way to make money. I quite liked the play style of waiting for stock to become available leading up to the moment you are ready to leave and get a big trip underway. Felt more immersive than going from A to B in a loop. Also the gamble of how many rares you would be allocated each 10 mins gave a rewarding feeling. I did used to look forward to seeing 20-25 to pop up on the screen, was a buzz. Buzzes are a good thing in a game!
I think it was a good mechanic, and a different mechanic. Back to lugging super conductors for now. Was it that broken?

Now they need to make the ships, fuel, and repairs one or two orders of magnitude higher so that you would have to grind for years to upgrade.
rares basically had a low amount, if you go at least 160 ly distance it increase in value, before it would keep restocking if you sat at the station basically in 1 hour you were making about 1.6 mill in a 100 cargo hauler. now that its nerf you get a fix amount, and then you travel and turn it in for 200k thats it.
if you go above 160 yr the price drops a little.
Couldn't agree more. Why are game developers trying to dictate to me how I have my fun? Trading rares requires a ship capable of travelling long distances, at first taking in several fuel stops (I didn't have a scoop), plotting a course to another system was part of the challenge. If anything, the galaxy 'sat nav' has made this less challenging as I used to do this manually.
