Seriously I m starting to get agro with the designers

I'm unlocking Broo Tarkin so I need 50 fujin tea. bUt the tea is sold in lots of 23 so that means 3 there and backs. I'm %100 positive the designers were laffing there butts off when they designed that. "Hahaha, make them waste time when it would be totally possible to sell 50 tea at a time. Hahahaha"
 
What was your problem again?

It's time wasting for absolutely no reason! Spend 1 hour or 20 minutes, the end result is the same and the difficulty is the same, so why not just make it 1 hop to get the stuff? It's not like we are fighting dragons on a lava planet: get tea...turn in tea...repeat. So silly
 
50 is just an arbitrary amount used for several unlocks, I don't think any consideration was given to the spawn rate.

Randomly generated missions within certain design parameters are understandably samey, but given that unlocking an engineer is a one-time quest I think there is room for each to be a bespoke, engaging experience. Definitely room for improvement.

... and you have to do it ... once. Anyway. as others have said, plenty more where Broo came from ;)

Well wouldn't exactly be rare if they pumped out 50+ units at a time. Consider yourself lucky considering how screwed the BGS is right now, 23 means the system is in boom.

Edit- just checked fujin, it is not in Boom. That means the devs have more than doubled none boom allocation. I guess you are not a cargo runner if you think 3 trips is a big deal..

This is a rare item. It is only available in limited quantities just like other rare items. Have you make the Cigar run yet?! That one was far worse when I did it, but no complaining here.
 
Get what the station offers, then do a mission (that takes at least 10 minutes), then get more at the station. Deliver it, repeat. Job done.

Stand your 2nd account out 10k from station. Get tea, deliver to 2nd account, repeat. Hand in then switch back to the 2nd account and repeat again.. I did this for 5 accounts, and never had any issues. Exact same for mining, exact same for cigars. Yeh is't a dopey time waste, but you gotta pamper them sometimes :) Oh yeh, same for the Combat Bonds, cept I logged in 3 accounts.

Every cmdr is give an allocation of each rare good, you can't just stock up, hence why we have to do multiple drop offs. Back in the day cmdrs would fly rare goods circuits, picking up the max allocation at each port.
 
I know, but the max amount you can have at any one time is more than the station allocated in one drop. Ime, it’s been about twice. You don’t have to deliver every time.
 
Great time to jump into a small ship that doesn't hold much cargo anyway and spend some time flying something you might not otherwise find yourself in. One of those engineering unlocks ended up getting me into an iEagle I now love and had never flown before (and probably woudn't have otherwise) as I'd skipped it in my rush to move to the next best ship when I started out.
