Thanks.
So did I, then I took part in that CG and doubled my assets overnight... Not complaining... In fact I wish they'd made Jacques that profitable. From an internal game logic point of view the CG was being run for the Imperial Military whilst they gear up to a war footing with the Feds, so it's not like they can't afford to throw some cash around...
Yeah. I think it is somewhat radiculous as well. I still only have 12 million in cash after 2 years, and that after being in a number of CG's.
Great idea a super payout for Jacques would be cool.
Edit: but hundreds of millions for a handful of hours is well, you know, helicopter money...

Hopefully there will be other stuff to buy with your credits in the future. Or you could buy me an Annaconda ;-).
I only just heard of this.
Edit: From listening to Lave Radio which I did today and I went what ?!.

I, for one, would sure like to encourage this military build up. After years of odd-jobbing around the galaxy, my mind was blown by the amount of credits thrown my way for the recent CGs.
If there are any representatives of the Empire or Federation watching, I would like to point out that an arms parity is not a guarantee of safety. The only way to ensure the safety of your respective peoples is an overwhelming military build up. If one side builds three ships, you build six... it's the only way. And I will be standing by ready to do my patriotic duty and schlep materials in return for that lovely blood money.

I've been playing since Premium Beta, as a casual player, and now have over 12 weeks of game time logged. It's taken me until 2 months ago to work my way into an Anaconda, then with participation in this CG I've doubled my cash. Do I feel slighted by the ease of earning this? No. I recognise that I'm a casual player who can't put in the 10+ hours a week of game play that have made a lot of people with a quarter of my game time into billionaires. CG's like this give casual players a chance to get some serious cash, otherwise I could play (at my current rate) for another 2 or 3 years and still be nowhere near a Cutter or Corvette.
Fortunately, that's not my real end game. I don't have an end game, but I don't feel belittled by this, or that my contributions to the game are in any way less valid.
I'm more annoyed at the fact that casual players find it harder to get engineering mods, so if I want to stay competitive now most of my playing time has to go into that rather than actually "playing", or that the whole internal logic of the Elite universe is about to get thrown out of the window by instant transfers of ships and modules across known space.
The CG in question made sense to have enormous payouts as it was geared for putting the Empire onto a war footing. When the same CG was run for the Feds a few weeks ago, it was geared up for the same monster payouts, but the player base didn't cotton on to that, so it finished without ever making it into the high paying tiers. This one got there because it attracted a lot of Imperial Pilots, with Cutters, shipping large amounts of cargo and pushing the CG up to the top tier. SO far, from what I've seen on the forums, most of the complaints about the payout in this CG seem to be coming from the players who didn't take part, and therefore missed out on the payout. They're not complaints about the logic of the payout, more along the lines of "I didn't get any". Whilst this may not be true of everyone, that certainly seems to be the majority case.
Both the Empire and the Federation will probably run similar CG's again as they prepare for war, so my advice it to keep your eyes open and be prepared to move some cargo, then maybe you can get a share of the pie, though if it comes after 2.2 it'll be over in a day as the hardcore players will get there in a 50LY Asp, insta-port their Cutter there and rack up the credits, because that's what billionaires do
Erm, no it doesn't. Inflation would affect prices and other player; this does not.
Your right, but it is somewhat insulting to everyone else who made their money a more "legit" way.
Well.
Hyper Inflation has been around real long tough.
Income per 10 hours of gameplay.
Open Beta - 2-5 Million
Release - 3-7 Million
Powerplay 10-20 Million
Usual Community Goals 20-50 Million
Christmas Special Community Goal 30-100 Million
Imperial Ship Building at Morai Community Goal without any special meaning 200-400 Million.
If like me you started with an Sidewinder and 1000 Credits
The Inflation of credits per hour has reached a whopping 6000% in a mere two Years.
If they wanted to maintain this rate the next Step would need to be introducing activities which for 10 hours of playtime yield roughly 1 Billion Credits
I guess we can look forward to christmas.
