Someone explain how much rewards are being reduced by in multicrew?

SuwinTzi · Apr 11, 2017

The patch note doesn't specify, and I don't have a beta.

How does affect the Helm role, does the Helm have a reduced reward for multicrewing a ship?

What is the base rank for 100% of the reward?

Does the displayed bounty reflect what the actual bounty is in a multicrewed ship, upon collection?

I was looking forward to taking some friends out to a HazRes, but if this change is going live, isn't it better to just join a wing instead?

Multicrew is a new feature. Rewards are based on combat ranks of Helm and the MC player. Rewards are not "reduced" as they are only now being introduced with multicrew.

The information you want is in this thread (somewhere) https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...-revert-rank-based-rewards-of-bounty-vouchers

Sounds to me, flying in a wing will be more profitable than multicrew..

As intended by the devs

Because if you are willing to risk your rebuy they are willing to give you more money.

It still make 0 sense that rewards are magically multiplied, but gameplay over realism, I guess.

The whole thing is artificial.
No one offering a contract for a service (like a bounty for example) is going to pay more just because there are more contractees. They would have to divide the spoils.
Its just a gimmick.

Indeed.

People winged for split rewards for how long now? Well more than a year! With very little moaning about it!

But it's announced that when in multicrew you wont get quite as much magic money and a simpsons style pitchfork mob appears, ready to burn the place down! Now I wonder why these people were OK with it with wings but aren't now?

I suspect its because they were seeing the AFK credit farming potential....
