RES Changes - Still Viable?

[Vurosia]

In the most recent patch, RES got a few changes. High intensity now means difficulty level instead of the spawn rate (Like I thought). I have never been quite lucky with my enemy spawns in RES as i have never gotten one python or conda.
I was getting into trading and I could not help but notice much higher profit, and I consider the profit guaranteed profit whereas RES is kind of a hit and miss.

Are RES still a viable source of income especially compared to trading?

I find res spawn rates are more predictable now. The credits per hour i think went down a bit. However i find them more fun now more consistent spawn rate keeps the action rolling lots of cobras and vipers and the occasional cutter. good pew pew times while a decent stream of cash flows in. In credit per hour term trading wins hands down. But for me i have more fun in res sites... ill get the credits i need eventually.
