BY the way... how is Painite a good money maker at these prices? I've never seen them so low. I've never mined Painite but I understand it's a good money maker, or was? These prices look horrible, worse than VOs

Read the mission board take multi cargo missions to the same station/planet they pay stupid amount for moving 120 tons now that the trade buff was added..
Cargo deliveries primarily reward based on galactic average value of the cargo. So delivering 180t of Consumer Goods will pay more than delivering 180t of Biowaste (which doesn't make sense, but I digress).
Post-balance, market-available metals like Gold and Palladium went from 9000 to 50,000cr in galactic average price. That happened last week, along with the change to core mineral prices, which you thought was tomorrow.
180t of gold would normally ship for 7-9m credits. With the price bumped up to 5* the norm, you can guess what happened to that reward.
Those prices are ludicrous!
I never got more than 60-90k /tonne when I mined Painite very briefly a few years ago.
Don't mine painite exclusively. Mine Osmium, Painite and Platinum together. They all fetch =~ 200k in commonly available conditions, and the time saved not looking for a single type of asteroid more than makes up for the drop in price. Point being... like I said, credits were too easy before, and they still are while FD shake out this rebalance. Is this a lower income stream? Yes. Is it still good for the effort required? Yes.BY the way... how is Painite a good money maker at these prices? I've never seen them so low. I've never mined Painite but I understand it's a good money maker, or was?

Grinding VO is a skill. There's a lot of skill involved in placing the right charges and collecting the chunks. It's not as easy and boring as blasting a laser into a rock. So yes, VO's should be worth a LOT more than what you get laser mining and should be one of the highest paid activities, and with a non working PWA?! Come on!
The slap to the face is that you forgot to mention Space Engineers in that list of yours...
Ridiculously high prices, those!
A couple of years ago Osmium was less than 10k and Platinum less than 20k.
I wish people would look a bit around, discovered new ways of making Cr in the game - mining and other activities alike - instead of rageguitting and autistically screeching 'NNEEEEEEERRRFF!!!1!!!'. It is still entirely possible to earn Cr at levels I consider to be exploits, now FD just have added more ways to do so than the one exploit "everyone" sees from Youtube.
With this I agree. I just think they were worth too much before. Actually I believe they can be worth the same now, only this time economy is more dynamic and it's harder to find place that will buy them at such high price. Too many people sell them at first opportunity. I think those changes are good.
Examining the market, understanding how that works, is also a skill.
PWA needs to be fixed.
Agreed! Touché!
You said yourself that it was fun. Well nothing about mining has changed, so what are you really whining about?
Oh yes-
Oh yes-
I'm not suggesting that what I'm about to say should be done (and I doubt enough people would do it anyway), but if the devs are not listening to their customers then maybe the game should be boycotted for a while.
Maybe an open letter to them saying that we will no longer play ED or buy Odyssey when it comes out, unless they start to listen to their players and start to fix all the bugs in the game.
Just a thought though.....

I don't think that would EVER happen, however, the more NEG PR this game gets, the less new players they are going to have.
Indeed. It took me a whole three rocks to have the system for the charges fully figured out. Quite a challenge it was. And don't get me started on how complicated it is to launch the collector limpets without targeting a fragment...
I guess I am going to have to learn some new skills
Never smuggled, with the exception of the one ENG that requires it. Never looted a Megaship and wouldn't even know how. And what are we researching with limpets? I did notice XENO Limpets Research controller and have one, just not sure how or why it works or what's it worth. I'll head over to my Celaeno and try it out.
I think he tried to say to launch and trying to avoid they keep kamikazing on rock frags.
Limpets AI are the dumbest AI i ever see.
So, you place a perfectly placed charge every time? Never over charge or under charge, need to disarm the charge and hit anther fissure? And finding them... like they are every other rock? Ha!
