Question to those who are happy to extract 200t of tritium in an hour... Really? 5 hours of mining for 1000 tritium and 4 500ly jumps? You really like that?
Not acceptable to me and I find it ridiculous that anyone is defending that as even remotely okay, whether before or after the patch. Frontier responded to the beta feedback by doubling the fuel efficiency, but IMO they were and still are out by an entire order of magnitude to make mining Tritium a viable method to fuel carriers for individual long range explorers. Before the patch you could at least fuel up in the bubble for (relatively) cheap, top up at Colonia and travel a long way from there before needing to mine to refuel - still not great, but a mitigating factor is a mitigating factor nonetheless. Now Tritium costs 10x as much as it did before the patch in the Bubble and is completely out of stock in Colonia, making refueling unviable by any means.
I'm somewhat tempted to request a refund of the money I spent on cosmetics for my carrier given this cluster, but at the end of the day part of me is also just fine with leaving it polluting some random system map somewhere causing Orange Sidewinder crashes* and being a major headache for Frontier** until they wake up, realise what a total mess they have made of this and start fixing things. In the meantime No Mans Sky just added derelict Freighters to explore which is much more interesting gameplay than shooting at rocks, so I'll be over there ==>
* Except I'm not actually in the Bubble and my carrier is unlikely to bother anyone where it is. You're welcome.
** Would be more of a headache for them if they actually played their own game, but dealing with the bug reports will have to do.
