So did this completely nerf the LTD3, or just mostly?
Mama needs a new fleet carrier.

Well, they kinda do. They don't demonstrably show they know how to balance their game. The break something and make it crazy lucrative then nerf bat it. And it makes players who miss the inadvertant gold rushes feel disenfranchised. I have been around a little while and recall so many ways players could "exploit" poorly balanced missions, reps, donations, mining, long distance trading, etc., It feels like there's some new money or faction grind just around the corner, so stay tuned.
Think it'll mean the number of chunks you get, or the value in the chunks.
"Choose" to not get more. Think you left that out.
Needs testing, but I can confirm the BGS changes rerolled factions buy prices for LTD's and some other ores.
Why? Sub-surface beats core mining to hell and back, even with the nerfs. Core is just too slow by far.. even laser is quicker.Now please wield the bat the other way, and make Tritium cores a thing. Pretty please
So you're saying "completely" nerfed.
Well Lu Pao now is only 900k per. Haven't gone to other regions yet, because it is almost 4 am and I am winding down for bed lol. Edit: Looks like Sirius has stations that buy for 1.49 still as of 5 min ago.
Any word on whether or not this patch includes introducing community goals, interstellar initiatives, thargoid attacks, and GalNet articles again?
Now I feel guilty. I've been assuming that the bugs I have seen are so common that jillions of people would report them, yet none of them are on the patch list. Worse, I haven't been keeping a running list. I'll try to remember as many as I can and will start keeping a list.
I've reported some problems before, so I know how to do it. So please don't instruct me. It just seems too much like work. My bad.

- Land at station, quickly move down to enter station and select. Selection jumps back up to refuel.
- Lots of critical mission update audio messages without any mission update anywhere indicated. No longer consistently getting comm messages for mission updates like how many enemy left counts or mission target locations, but sometimes do. (this may be deliberate, dunno)
- Tried to buy fighters (Taipan) at carrier advanced maintenance and click on the restock, no joy. Click on the fighter image (or selection) and got some kind of server error. Someone I know with a carrier tested it on a different kind of fighter and it worked ok for them.
- Open galaxy map, select star, select system map, no response or long delayed response. This may be because my internet connection is iffy, but prior to the update it worked well.
- Seems to be causing my computer to run hotter now. This could be because the weather has been warmer or it could be because the program is consuming more cycles of CPU/GPU time than before the update. I'm definitely seeing more thermal throttling, however. Might want to check total client side processing burden and see if there's something it is doing that isn't necessary to the game. Note: my laptop computer model is known for running hot (Dell G5 15).
- I followed a carrier as it left the system once, flying right up its butt, lol, trying to see if it would drag me along with it. It didn't, but there were some very strange graphic effects like I was seeing parts of the carrier all around me. Just thought that might be something to look into. Seems like I've also seen some other strange graphics effects like this, parts of things being disconnected from other parts, but no way to dredge those cases out of my memory now.
- Legacy -- chase a ship out of a conflict zone and can't kill it (phantom ship). Joined by someone who was with you in the CZ and they can't even select it (doesn't show up on their scanner). Have also seen NPC fighters which were unkillable when their mother ship was destroyed (at least, assumed they were NPC fighters).
- Legacy -- The mouse select still double clicks through...by that I mean I click on a selection and it also clicks on the next menu selection. This is really frustrating. I want to select an inf+++ reward, click on complete mission and it selects a different reward, whatever was under the mouse cursor on the previous menu. I've also seen it at the engineer where I click to select experimental and it also clicks on whatever experimental effect happens to be under the mouse cursor location.
- Legacy - Sure would be nice to be able to add or subtract just one to the station commodity buy/sell quantity. A single mouse click gives 2. A mouse click and then another really quick and hold may give an odd number much higher or lower than your target amount, then you have to slowly single click 2 at a time to hit your target amount.
I've reported some problems before, so I know how to do it. So please don't instruct me. It just seems too much like work. My bad.

Patch notes are up, none of that is mentioned.
Okay, so that sounds like normal daily fluctuation. Revising status to "mostly" nerfed.
It did not. None of those would require an update anyway, just the will on FDev's part to run them.
It was a weekly tick as well, so my guess is that just the locations changed, by the end of the day another station will be offering 1.5-1.7mil per unit
Actually I was thinking that maybe BGS was bugged and not dropping that price at all. So daily fluctuations are fixed again.
Looking at prices for LTD right now and, from the system i'm currently at, just OP prices have been affected. Base is still 1m+ per unit in a 200Ly radius
Was the buy price at rbs 1843 over 40k pre patch? It's been a few days since I've been here.
In all fairness, I was being a bit cheeky, since the game has essentially been abandoned in terms of "narrative" and "content" for six months now.
There's no "probably" about it. If you can't afford 5 million a week, it's not possible for you to have earned 5 billion in the time the game has been released.
Hell, at five million a week you'd have to have been grinding since FE2 before you could afford a carrier.
Still have the UNPURCHASEABLE Repair crew bug on my carrier. I'm decommissioning it to buy another one (hoping to NOT have the bug), but to test if the bug is still there I had to stop decommisioning, now i have to wait 7,8 Days since the bug is still there and I have to start the decommisioning process again. Maybe by the end of the month I'll have a correctly functioning fleet carrier. (issue is https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/16413 ), also opened a ticket, the answer was not nice.
Weird. As concerned I am about the mining, what REALLY saddens me is the reroll of my carrier tag. I really liked the one I had...
It is going to be fun to see how the LTD/SSD nerf plays out in real time. If FDev went overboard, there will be visible proof of people rage quitting when the concurrent Steam player count crashes.... keyword here is "if". For FDev, maybe change things up and instead of nerfing viable ways to make credits, maybe through boost in sometime. For example the rewards for bounty hunting. ~150K bonds for taking out engineered enemies in combat zones is a tad poop.
