Half-Arxed exploration

[Kelster87]

Started galaxy round trip 3 days before arx. Today 3/4 is done (3 or 4 weeks passed? I'm lost) Now i'm in "The Veils" close to bubble part ...well, less then 600 arx earned till now.

Just wait until you cash that data in..

Anybody did that already? >: I expect it will be +400 total for all that. As it should hit weekly limit.

OK so flame me if this has been clarified already but I couldn't see anything about it for sure...

I have my original account out in the black, meandering back from DW2 and I see that the original rate of Arx that was coming in per play session has been cut way back/

So I took another account out a couple of kylies and wandered a bit - FSS everything, map "goodies" or map all in smaller systems, couple of NSP with jaggies etc - about 4 to 8 Arx a session.

On bringing that account back to the bubble, 3 Arx for the return trip (going to main menu). Start up again sell the carto data (about 40MCr) - nearly 300 Arx awarded with weekly cap reached flashing in green.

So the question - is someone out exploring going to remain on this paltry reward level and then on selling their gazillions of data only going to get 400 Arx? It is too much to hope that the system will say right that's 10 weeks of play so you can have up to 4000 Arx? No chance!

TL / DR Have F D said they will balance out to reward exploration play more than some kid buying and selling their ship armour?

I don't play for Arx.

They should have made it time based and been done with it.
Nice and simple.

Fdevs egg head approach to most game additions shine through more and more to the games detriment.

Absolutely.

I don't play for Arx.

Nor me, I did actually say in a later post:

'Just to be clear, I am not moaning about what Arx I "earn" per activity, I am quite happy to get free "reward points" at whatever rate they come. I am just highlighting what others have indicated, that the award of this stuff for explorers only really comes on the sale of data. To me this is greatly at variance of the postulated "earn while you do your normal game play".'

Secretely FD wants explorers to hold onto their data so salt miners can kill them and we get to keep the "less than 1% has actually been explored" ... it has to be true cause i said it!.

Prove me wrong!.

I guess ...just bad timing. Incoming December's ships can make UC points everywhere, so you can fly 20 mins and sell all your data on closes megaship in any place. So from this perspective ... players can wait couple months instead of breaking code by temporary patches.
