FDev: Credit rebalancing incoming, "more reward for higher risk" activities

[BDelacroix]

Gotta get this done soonish since we are about a month out from Cyberpunk 2077.
I'll see myself out.

• Mining first, start next week

Cool, winter is coming

Piracy too. Piracy needs a G5 boost up the exhaust port to make it worthwhile.

Ok, where's Jmanis when you need him?

In case he's having a rest ..... SMUGGLING!

I think devs have the same issue I do, I forgot piracy existed until I saw it mentioned. Smuggling too. Just to be sure, how about long range trading?

And a proper smuggling career for non-violent criminals!

Finally, this has been needed for years now.

I hope its more comprehensive than Stuart's post suggests though. For example, salvaging has needed a credit boost DESPERATELY ever since it was implemented into the game.

Salvaging needs more content. SO far as I know its running around a planet and hoping randomness is in your favor to get 2 items.

No! My forum hobby horse first!

non-violent criminals!

Wash your mouth out.

What we need is an organising committee to put the changes in order!

My hope is that they won't just bring all earnings up to the same value as mining.

However if they don't do that and consequently mining earnings drop to raise averages in other areas to keep the same overall average there's not enough popcorn in the world to keep me going through the forum posts I'd expect to see.

I hope they nerf mining and make things like combat that isn't one thing on the mission board not pay garbage but this is Frontier so for all I know they are going to balance everything by turning off the server until Odyessy

And MAKE MURDER MAGNIFICENT once again in the BGS. Make it high risk and (hang on, need to wipe off the blood) actually potent. Currently its spoon.

Smuggling fix hopefully

Or...
No earnings for anything apart from PvP kills.

... pve combat has no risk. All the content creators who keep battering on about this surely must do it themselves.

It’s absolutely strong that combat should get a buff so that it’s a competitive option, that would be amazing, but carrying on that the justification is you’re being risky seems like a false measure.

If reward is linked to risk then should mean that players in G5 murder boats would get less reward for the same activity than a player in a less capable ship.

I wouldn't find that a bad thing. I'll go kill stuff in my iEagle.

No, it means actually scaling NPCs to the job. X4 G5 Sidewinders with phasing and Groms would be nasty and much more of a problem than one G1 NPC Corvette.

And a proper reward for murdering those
