Hi All,
Having used the Horizons start several times over the last couple of weeks - I question its balance post 2.1.
In 2.0 you had the steady income of picking up escape pods, and occasionally other salvage, which paid better than space fairing missions.
Post 2.1, the number of surface missions is reduced at lower levels quite considerably, and surface missions do not pay that much more than space missions, and are not on the same planet.
The Horizons start location dies have the advantage of being on the Alliance/Fed border allowing rep in both, but the decoupling of minor faction and super faction rep negates this.
I say Horizon loadout should be the same as "New Commander" loadout.
