I'm concerned. I used to get a few percentage points of exploration rank for each passenger sightseeing mission.
New patch:
Made a quick BILLION void opal mining (four runs in a Python over 16 hours), earning Elite rank in Trading.
I then went out and did my first real exploration run outside the bubble to unlock Prof Palin, making a 12K LY loop, found my first ELW (we should get to name our first one [big grin]), and cashing out my scan data ranked me up to Pioneer 15%.
So, at my new rank, I just took a quick Sightseeing mission, three sights, "Elite" mission rating, above my current rank, $8.5M payout for easy passenger with naught but the "demanding" trait, and my Exploration rank meter did not move upon completion. Have they nerfed the rank payout for Sightseeing runs? Or did my rank up to Pioneer just lessen their effectiveness so it takes multiple runs to get a single percentage point bump?
