Ugh. They're both terrible. YouTube is a sea of unskipple ads and conspiracy theory vids nowadays. Not to mention the horrible algorithms that put vids I've already seen a dozen times in my suggested feed.
FDev: Credit rebalancing incoming, "more reward for higher risk" activities

CGs in Open should be getting a higher reward next time ! 
LOL yes. But Adblock Plus takes care of the ads

Don't rile them- otherwise the slippery slopists will appear....
Quick summary:
- Aware that balancing isn't right
- Done in stages, continuous
- Mining first, start next week
- Combat next, start two weeks later
- "How much earned per hour, different loops, what risk, what reward, skill required"
- Core mining should be higher paying than laser mining, as more skilful
- Mining heavily linked to economy via commodities
- Galnet narrative driven
- Combat needs to be buffed, better rewards
- Wing missions not a focus yet
- Combat missions, bounties, bonds
- Conflict zones last
- Won't be a quick fix, will tweak and check data/feedback
- It feeling right to the player is what matters
- Been seeing all the existing feedback, videos etc
- Balancing is super important, on the agenda and a priority
- Incremental changes
- Discussions have been ongoing since after Arthur & Bruce joined FDev
- Skill and risk more rewarded
- Bulk sale to change to be fairer, average not minimum
- Rebalancing will be tied with the ongoing storylines
- Forum post later this week, roadmapping the rebalancing
- Implementation over the next weeks
All good news.

So is frontier now starting to take its game seriously?
Would be nice if Frontier addressed cheating next and took a harder stance on it.
TLDR: A lot of words. I will judge actions and so far there's not a lot of evidence that would support anything.
I've never seen anything that specifically said what grade random NPCs were limited to, if any, only that Master and below are never engineered, while Deadly and Elite are guaranteed to be, and that randos (non-ATR, non-SpecOp, non-wing mission targets) don't have weapon specials (which is easily confirmed in game).
Anecdotally, I've seen power management configurations and NPC velocities that would be very hard or impossible to achieve with only G1 mods.
any new info you not posted?
Slippery slopes come in Odyssey
I wish I could remember where I heard it from, but thats what I've always operated on. In any case with Horizons folded down FD can make more capable options and loosen the templates a bit- I've only ever seen a very narrow slice of whats available.
I do remember this though, from From 2.1.03
I hope they fix the TC plasmas and also balance mouse / joysticks
1st time reported in issuetracker at March 1, 2020, another report October 28, 2020 (which Im sure also will expire no matter there is video which clearly shows what is wrong) ... sorry FDev, but with such approach to bugs fixing I have strong doubts about yours ability do any balancing right.
With Odyssey coming I would think it's a good time to finesse this stuff.
How has core mining changed at all?
It was Void Opals for days since the mining Changes, other things just overshadowed it.
Going have to to do a lot more than nerf mining, lol.I just hope the mining "balance" makes fleet carrier ownership nigh on impossible for a single person
They nerfed it by making the scanner work backwards !
