General Replace 50 Million Credit Mission Cap with RNG Range

[Justinian Octavius]

One of the side effects of the much welcomed rebalancing is the increase in the number of missions that hit the 50 Million Credit reward cap. Although a minor issue, I personally think the number of these missions available now on some Mission Board instances aesthetically reduces the authenticity of the Mission Board as it is evident there is a programmed in hard cap. Replacing this cap with a range of values to disguise the cap could be worth considering.

For example,
In the case of a Massacre Mission that would currently be capped at 50,000,000 CR there would instead be a credit reward picked randomly from a range of values between 50,000,000 and say 52,500,000.

Thus, the chance of having multiple missions on the Mission Board at the same time showing the upper limit of the cap could be greatly reduced depending upon the range of values selectable for the reward between 50,000,000 and 52,500,000 (or appropriate high cap value).

Thanks for any consideration,
CMDR Justinian Octavius

Conversely 44000 to 55000 would be more able to hide that nasty cap.

Alternatively since the original point of the cap was to stop the mission generation getting out of hand with odd parameter combinations, if it's regularly now hitting the cap for "normal" missions ... perhaps the cap should just be raised to 60M or 70M or whatever covers the new normal missions?

Or they could nerf everything back to Year 1 values when everything made sense and caps didn't get hit.
