I want to enjoy playing this game the way I want to but I can't, the fun things are not fun to do because despite all the hours you put into doing them you can make 100x the credits mining painite.
Let me put this into perspective for you:
I spent all day doing delivery missions and earned give or take 30m credits. I spent 1 hour at a Painite hot-spot and flew away with 120m worth of cargo from collecting just 150 Painite. (It sold for around 780k each).
Things that should be fun in this game simply are not, I'm now forced to default my play style as a miner because every other method of earning credits pays abysmally low in comparison. Not to mention that expensive T10 I just purchased feels undervalued since it was so easy to max out it's fittings.
I know ships are expensive, as are the modules that compliment them, but this is not realistic one bit and not how an economy should function. This game feels like everything that's very easy pays really well and anything that has some difficulty pays abysmally low.
Does anyone at frontier think these updates through? If everything paid similarly give or take some fluctuations other activities would actually be fun and worthwhile.
