The new commoditiy system is screwed.

[hems303]

Wasn't the intention in the first place to stop everyone and their mother earning mega credits from sitting in a system mining?

I want to put this out there.. I love(d) mining... my Zen-like retreat from reality.... NOW!......
I spent just over three hours in my usual (undiscovered) 'quadruple' hotspot i.e. LTD/VO/Tritium/Grandidierite and after 3.... 'THREE' hours I had 3 tons of tritium and one ton of LTD's (surface titbits and a few dregs in my hopper from previous)....... there's 'REBALANCING' ... then there's 'NERFING'.... now there's 'BLOODY HELL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????????????????

Edit: UPDATE:
The Game/Devs/World have gone mad... after my rant above I'm left bemused to say the least. I gave up on mining the previous 'valuables' and fired up my Alt commander and set off on the Neutron Highway to Colonia. There I thought I'd get in with one of the local engineers... they want 10T Osmium.. so I refitted by explorer as a Miner... went to Colonia 4 inner ring... no hotspots what-so-ever... did my first pulse wave scan .... and got a brighter incandescent roid... Painite CORE!!!!. Looking for Osmium and having given up on Painite (amongst others) I moved on and did another scan..nothing of interest really... moved on pulse waving...HIT!... Painite CORE again.. left it and moved on ..HIT... yup Painite core AGAIN, and again, and again, and again .......after seven (7!!) consecutive Painite Cores I came here to post.... what in the name of anything you hold precious is going on with mining????... and in a ZERO HOTSPOT metallic ring!!!! It's all a bit beyond me now...... ... i'm done

Edit: another update.. went back in.. more Painite Cores and one asteroid that gave as 'DEPLETED' on prospector.. but had 'intact' fissures all over it... I blew it...yes you guessed it full of fragments to abrade off..................... I am NOT against devaluing the top payers but PLEASE can we get the PWS working 100%, and have hotspots showing what they advertise and make the 'finds' consistent to some sort of rational PLAN!

P.S. Roid prospector showing Osmium at 12%... none found at all on depletion!

I give up mining... I was sure they will nerf painite, and kind agree with that, ( but not nerfed to the ground, like they did !! ) but I was also sure they will SERIOUSLY BUFF the deep core - once that requires a lot more skills and time invested.

In fact, they nerf ALL, Tritium also get a hit, and all this pushed me on passengers runs on Robingo, since I need a big load of cash to buy some 3-5 000 of Tritium for my planned trip to Colonia.
From what I see after these 2-3 days, economy wise, the devs took with 2 hands and give with just one....

More playing, less typing. There's more than yourself who play the game that get effected by these things.

This ....

I just did 26 millions at Robigo in 10 MINUTES. "Mining is just fine." is just a ridiculous, funny statement, lol !

AND... 23,5 mil. more in next 10 min.

And when they balance Robigo to be the same as mining?

You seem to be stuck on mining, whereas mining is only the first part of the balance pass.

EDIT: Wait, sorry, got my posts confused because you snipped that one.

Looking at the post you snipped, not sure what your concern is. All players would stand to benefit by high-paid delivery missions being the ones which have large tonnage.

My fun is most in combat, but like you know very well, that do not pay crap - I do 10 x more in Robigo / per hour, with no risk at all to meet the "rebuy" screen.

Doing MM's at Fed CG, and I guarantee you're not making 10x/hr more than me.

Maybe double, but at least mine is fun, no movie required.

Whatever floats your boat though, but saying combat pays naff all is a straight up fallacy.

I am doing for 3 days now in a row Passengers in Robigo, but somehow, by a sick logic, you conclude "You seem to be stuck on mining,...."

Maybe is time for you to take a breath and stop inventing things ?!

I bet I do more than double, more than triple and more than quadruple of what you do in combat, dude ! You are in a very small minority here if you say ""combat pays naff all is a straight up fallacy." !!
Who you try to fool here ? Maybe yourself, probably you repeat the mantra of "combat pay is fine" only to motivate yourself to ignore the reality !

Tell us here HOW MUCH do you do per hour ? Let's see your ""combat pay well" argument in numbers !

Pirate MM's to a single system.

Once allied I can easily get 80-120m/hr solo, more of I wing up and share missions with squadmates.

Use this tool to find a system that suits and once allied the credits just flow.

I'm actually hoping this area of combaf gets a nerf as it's faster and easier than CZ's/ Thargoids/ Assasinations, yet pay a lot more.

They should hire someone who knows what they're doing in terms of economy and implement realistic demands in the galaxy - it would also be good if players were able to buy and sell their engineering materials. <cut>

I believe answer here would be "npc trade" throught different states and percentages of BGS, naturally bind to demand and supply between different types of economies at stations and/or systems (there should be internal trade in system between different economies as well, maybe also depending on ideological and major factional blockades that might occur say between a communist independent station and patriarchist Empire station, not allowing those stations /systems to trade even though they had different economies for supply/demand and suitable distances).

Your attention seems to be stuck on mining, your comprehension is lacking!

During this recent BH CG I made over 500 million credits in the first 4 days (Thursday-Sunday) through a combination of Massacre/Assassination/Takedown missions and a KWS.

Then after the Combat Payout buff I made another 500+ million credits in just 2 days (Monday-Tuesday) with the same routine.

I even made a straight billion in profits after the Fed Vs Imp Combat CG we had the other week.

Being allied with the mission givers, knowing what missions to take and having decent combat skills made combat profitable even before the buff.
