The RES RNG God's Have Smiled Upon Me!

[M00ka]

This is the sort of thing I wish they'd balance out though. a rate of 5-10 million in a couple hours would be awesome if consistent.

Why should it be balanced out. I like the fact that the whole game is a slight gamble, some days are good, some days are bad and some days are damn fantastic. If everything was balanced it would become boring, you know what you were going to get before you got there. At least in the current paradigm, you never know and have to adapt. If the RES is bare, you either re-instant or go somewhere else and try your luck there.
.
Take the now standard 'kill x pirates' mission: you drop into your favourite kill area and you might see the required number of pirates that are all flying Sidewinders or they could all be in Pythons and Condas. You never know and that is what I like.

You make a great point, and I do appreciate that from an RP perspective. If the RES' just aren't cooperating that day, I'll usually go seek out a CZ for some consistent pew-pew action. I do wish CZ's were advertised better though. You would think they would be trying to recruit Mercs to fight for them...for some reasonable compensation of course!

I'd say it should be balanced because the current instance resetting mechanics are gamey, and the variance of good to bad spawns are too high.

I don't think it should be a constant, but a smaller variance would be far better to avoid the grind that it currently feels like to go to an RES.

And for Opening eyes. I know where to seek now in Galaxy map.


22.025.477 cr - 20% = 17.620.381 cr.

5.000.000 cr (and few change) more. It's worth.

Yeah, but it took a while to grind the 100 merits that I could have devoted to something else making me more than that 20%. However, if those 100 merits last for a couple weeks without more merit-grinding (aka free labor), it might be worth maintaining the minimum 100 merits. I'm not a fan of the whole pledging thing though, so I will probably just leave the power once the merits dip below 100.

I should try undermining.

I should try undermining.

To get my 100 merits with Duval, I did the Crime Sweep CZ's so it would boost my Combat Ranking as well. CZ style fights are great for that!
