I'm at 50% of my way to elite in exobiology, so I think, that I know, how many effort it can require, to be fair, when I look at amount of required effort, required knowledge, and gear (basically suit for what...100k?)+ fact, that even now we can find first logs INSIDE bubble I still think, that it is massive overshoot. 30x boost is simply sick. 5x for first logs is cool and all, even boost base values by 2/3 factor could be ok. But 30x? Srsly? more than 3m for scanning 1 flat bacterias, or space tea which is EVERYWHERE, once you find atmo planet with biosignals?
To be fair I would prefer rebalance of prices much more than...let's say "it" to avoid consequences.
Why things, which spawn in crazy terrain, are rare, and PITA to find were worthy 100/200k, when example tectonicas (which from my experience never required more than 5/10 minutes between landing and third sample) were for 800k? IMO it is bigger problem- things, which thanks to required enviroment are more rare, and which are difficult to find, because they example prefer very rough terrain- THIS should be the most valuable.
But my opinion is based on fact, that I'm not credit hungry guy, which could be happy with even 100x boost of everything, exobiology require practically nothing in terms of gear/uprades (same with ship, I prefer small dbx for few millions, than conda for hundreds, easier landings), and very little knowledge. Some species require literally few minutes to find.
Meanwhile people here are mad, because vista showed them 300m for nothing, and they get 200m for nothing, huh.
