FDev is now promoting money transfer and gold farming

aka Cargo Wing Mission ^^

FDev fix your god damn broken unbalanced mission system !
Based it on real factors (Distance, cargo size/value, passenger cabin class...) instead of RNGesus factors !!!

For now many mission hauling few tones rewards more than hauling thousands... short distance passenger trip reward more than 10K LY mission...etc.

We don't pray RNGesus but we love real mathematics !!!

And stop the spam of those missions nobodies wants (20K LY sight seing mission)... instead stack them in tourist system for the one that wants them!!

They're not 'promoting' anything of the kind. The wings mission feature is working exactly as intended. They even said so themselves on stream.

I'll be giving away nearly 100 million credits to a random new Commander later today.

Yeah because the one and only reason they introduced wing missions was to cause money transfers.

Money transfers are a by-product of the system, and one they seem to be perfectly fine with.

Not seeing what the issue is here, at all.

Rofl !

Money transfer has always been a feature so many times requested and FDev has always say NO to that request !

Explaining so many times it would be exploited...

That's also the reason why Bounty Hunting on Cmdr has always been capped to 1M Cr even though they worth hundreds millions... (to avoid money transfer)

If they really changed their mind :
- Money transfer should be a new feature
- Bounty on Cmdr should not be capped to 1M Cr anymore

Well it's up to them to class it as an 'exploit' and take the missions out while they investigate, just like the skimmer and mining missions.

In the meantime, I'll be giving away as much as I can.

None of that can happen until there is a total wipe of everyone's credits. If that ever happened most will not bother to come back, so it will never happen imho.

I'm surpirsed at the way they have handled the noob/wing mission interaction, given how heavily they gimped the payouts for lower ranking multicrew rewards. I'm sort of ambivalent on it, I have earned my money in the game, I have most things I want (still some engineering to do and some powerplay modules to false flag for) but I'm not bothered about noobs getting a leg up other than being concerned that our generosity might actually spoil the game for them by denying them the sense of accomplishment and progression.

For all those *censored* demanding a wipe (yes, and I mean *censored*): Since Frontier manages to inject a good gold rush with every single patch due to their lack of understanding their own game (as clearly shown with the mission rewards and the respawning skimmers), even if they were informed during beta that this could happen, you can be 100% certain that a wipe will fix exactly nothing. There are still 220 million per hour-actions in the game which are just waiting to be posted on the forums.

A wipe will fix exactly nothing and a wipe won´t bring new customers because all veterans will go posting everywhere that FD sucks major golfballs. In my opinion there is no solution for it except staying on the course that money is nothing but a number, and for everything else you have to spend playing time (like material gathering for engineers).

Anyone knows me here's knows I'm outspoken about bad gameplay, imbalance, etc etc

On this occasion, you;re being completely disingenuous. FDev are by no means 'promoting' gold farming or anything of the like. Like HellKitty above and myself yesterday, we passed along some easy credits to newbies or those in the need. We didn't ask for RMT or pints down the local. There's lots of other things to claim or complain to FDev about, this is not one of them.

Nerfing my altruism will just force me into murderhobo-ing.

I either help, or destroy. It's kinda my thing, the thing I do.

I'm sorry, but if your contribution to the wing mission is 0% then I don't believe you should get any of the reward. A minimum 1% contribution would help to stop this ludicrous nonsense.

The missions were designed so that someone flying fighter cover in a ship with no cargo capacity could share the rewards.

Not saying I agree, or disagree either way. But that's why it's like it is now.
