That's the not point.
I'm not against an increase. I just think this is too much. I basically can become Elite I in Exobiology quicker than I can in Exploration and many others now.
Holy moly at the exobio pay increase!

Trade sure. Not so much Exploration for me. I haven't tried to exploit the game by doing Roads to Riches. I want to progress at my own pace. Now I can't.
Just think this needs to be nerfed a bit so the progression isn't so quick.
So the issue is the metric, not that the credit increase is too much then.
Fix would be to make it based on number of discoveries, rather than credit (which would bring it inline more with combat).
Either way, doesn't sound like the credit increase is the problem, since it's still short compared to the mainline earners.
Edit: or just multiply the rank levels by 30.
So what? They're meaningless "achievements" anyway.
Sorry to burst your bubble there!
Sure. Everything is meaningless. Even playing Elite Dangerous is.
This now pays (and progresses in rank) more than on-foot High Combat CZs though, which are more challenging and arguably more fun.
So glad they did this - elite rank is now feasible under what is usually a low paying and monotonous undertaking.
Thank you very much FDev for increasing exobiology's payouts!

I might be wrong but I feel this unbelievable pay increase is a mistake made by Dev's and will be adjusted pretty soon.
I agree with many players that such an increase is a non sense compared to other role rewards.
I liked to explore planets and found and scan funny plants, but I have been disappointed by the reward. After several long trip away from the bubble, I was ready to stop this exo exploration due to the poor pay.
From now on, even if the reward is properly balanced soon, I will consider it as very interesting to do on the long run.
Any hard work deserves good salary
By the way the WIKI has not been updated. It still shows the old values...

However, I do not fully agree on the statement above because the exobiology pay had to be (slightly) increased to keep interest and motivation.

I just noticed this. It's really good!
The increase is a lot.
I'm undecided if it's too much or not .. but the thresholds on the rank tiers might want tweaking in line with the increase.

It might be a bug mind

Update 14 is now available for Elite Dangerous Live (4.0) | Important release information
@sallymorganmoore in the grand scheme of bugs, this one is negligible, but the payout window from Vista Genomics does not match the actual payout. In this screenshot the window showed 12,073,500 credits with discovery bonus and the actual payout was 4,829,400. Edit: sorry the pic is upside...
It might be a bit too much, but it is way closer now than what it used to be. By now 100m/hr is the 'baseline' income for experts in their profession, and exo should be in that ballpark too IMHO>
