Please give us money for our time!

Please, make some missions pay more. Make deliveries make more sense. Bring back sustainable mining.

Just make the game playable like a real simulator should.

Where's the money to be made?

If you won't provide a proper way to make credits in your game, just tell the community, don't make us keep returning each patch to find out that the only viable way to make credits just got nerfed as well.

I dont really think you play this game

Credits are easier than ever.
Passenger runs, Mining, Combat, Trading - each of those can net you more than 100 millions per hour

Crazy amounts, everywhere, all the time.

Don’t need to. Take massacre/assassination stacking. Easy to earn 100 million credits per 60-90 mins

did i said you should?

i said 100 millions per hour.
One Robigo run can net you 20 millions for a 10 minutes trip.

Go fight this out on the thread that says money is cheap and should be reduced. Have fun!

General - Entry level ships are too cheap (Early game impressions).

So i've been playing (as a brand new player to ED, but familiar with Elite and it's history etc) for a couple of days now, probably 20 hours worth in all (active gaming, not just sat in dock while i fix dinner or look after the cats etc). I never really flew my sidewinder (it currently sits...

It's almost more of a challenge to not make money in this game. I can tell you it's quite an effort of self-denial to avoid broken cashcows that throw credits at you in order to have anything like an organic earnings curve.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Oh my word no.

Easy moneys spanked this game into a corner.

Even with reduced payouts, I'm still getting 7/8 mil credit delivery missions which take 5 minutes each.

The market economies are dynamic, affected by the trade of other commanders, NPCs and events that occur in the system. Every station has its own supply and demand that change dynamically.

LIES!

Btw, my epic account..
And all i did was the Community goals and some Robigo (not for the cash but to top g5 mission materials) and some 3 days of Thargoid combat last weekend (130 millions was the cost of the AXI Krait mk2, but it gained me like 600 millions only from missions to kill thargs in an Incursion system in Pleiades)

 

[mintaka5]

increase the profit margins. that's all. it's not rocket science. if this market was a properly working one, opportunities to make decent money would arise more often than not.

I did the last CG and could not break out of 75% tier. it would be nice too, but I spent A LOT of time collecting credit scraps. this is not engaging content. I have news for Frontier. they are only bowing to the demands of a small segment of players who have some god-like ability to play the game all day long. that's fine, but that's work, and work requires respectable amounts of compensation. not this disrespectful behavior by Frontier.
