Last night I spent a lot of my time gathering research data for Ram Tah, after turning all of that data in I was surprised with by credit balance not reflecting the reward I got from Ram Tah.
Turned out that the crew I left at station took an absolutely huge cut of my reward, even though all they did was sit at the starport with two thumbs up their hiney.
I knew crew takes a cut from all profits made, however I wasn't informed they took that cut even when they are inactive.
I contacted support, but was told that the cut they took can't be refunded. I still feel cheated out of my money, and honestly it is unfair that this works the way it does. I won't get my salary by sitting at home all day, why on Earth should they?!
I want to make a suggestion that Frontier either make changes to from what they take cuts of, change to make it so crew won't be paid for work they didn't do, or inform the player that they take cuts even when they are inactive, because currently this is not the case (Screenshot provided)
Another suggestion is in regards to the AI behaviour.
I am sick and tired of security damaging my exploration anaconda when I get out of supercruise, sicker still of them charging me a fine for their suicide burns toward me.
Same goes for AI in RES sites when I'm out bounty hunting, only an hour ago I was performing maintenance to my FDL when an anaconda rammed me while my shields were down, losing millions in bounty claims and rebuy cost, by no fault of my own.
Just as frustrating is the odd NPC criminal that randomly becomes invincible to all damage, when a friend and me in a wing find another wing of 3 NPC's, a Vulture and 2 Adders, sounds easy enough. No matter what I did to the one Adder, when hull dropped to 45% it became impervious to all damage, fired all of my weapons (four size 2 beam lasers and one size 4 Multicannon) and did zero damage. I understand that the AI has to cheat to a certain degree if it even hopes to stand a chance against a player character, even if I find some of that ridiculous when an NPC Anaconda can use multiple SCB charges without taking heat damage. What I don't understand is this sudden ability to ignore incoming weapons fire, and in my opinion, goes beyond what's acceptable.
I would appreciate it if Frontier made some of these changes, they leave a real negative impact to the enjoyment of the game.
