THIS IS NO WAY IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM INTENDED TO CAUSE AN ARGUMENT.
I'd happily do things I enjoy and explore the vast universe but when you're doing activities you enjoy, over, and over, and over, and over again with nothing else to really do then what do you do?
You're loosing money because the activity you enjoy isn't paying anything, I'd happily go mine if I didn't have to jettison every piece of unfinished ore because the massive asteroid doesn't want to give any more rocks.
I'd happily go bounty hunting if there was actually decent places to hunt and if it was a decent pay out and covered my expenses for traveling, using ammo, wasting an hour of my life waiting for anything higher than a 10k bounty to cross my path.
For me the only thing worth while doing to even feel a sense of progression and achievement is trading, and I feel if you do anything else then you're kinda going to be stuck grinding and losing your mind because you have to do it more to actually cover your expenses.
To have fun in this game you need money, to do the activities you enjoy, you need money, to play power play without having to grind 1 token per kill or interdict ANYONE that's not in your faction, you need money. there's a lot to do but how you do it is really one way and if you manage to get a big enough ship to make trading anywhere near a decent standard then you'll be doing that for a long while until you can afford to be a pirate, or afford to be a minor, or even afford to pay some of the ridiculous expenses on your ship such as integrity costs.
I see that people play the game for "fun" and to "roleplay" but some of us want to stroll around in big badass ships and interdict those we please, as "roleplay" without people complaining. I understand some of you don't have the time to get to the real "endgame" ships and that you're happy with being in a Cobra or even a diamond back scout if you get there, and I congratulate you for getting there because it took me long enough too, but when someone pulls you out of your cruise don't come to the forums and complain bigger ships need a nerf, or that the integrity costs should get higher because for you 5 percent of integrity damage is nothing to pay for however to those in bigger ships that have to pay millions for even a fraction of integrity damage.
I honestly want to enjoy the game, but I don't want to feel like I'm being punished for flying a big ship or getting punished in powerplay for not playing for a week and loosing 50% of all merits I've worked for.
TL;dr: I fly a big ship and I pay tonnes to even take it out the station, I work hard to get merits just like you lot, I work even harder to make money because if I don't then I can't cover my costs, so why does it make me less of a better person that some of you that I've seen ranting on about the bigger ships. See you on the battlefield CMDRS.
