Why am I being punished for having FUN!?!?!

You cannot make a profit in this game. It is pretend money. It is pretend everything. The only reason for the pretence is to have fun. If you are not having fun. Stop.

time is money, i can earn £12 an hour in reality, or i can pump 10-15 hours into bounty hunting to out fit a class A4 power plant in a cobra, or do trading rares and outfit it in 4-6 hours. Not sure that asking for a slight better income in bounty hunting/fighting in conflict will take away the fun factor? It probably explains why you have pay to play/win games like warthunder so those with money can keep up with the jobless grinders. Really cannot see the problem with increasing the ingame living wage for bounty hunters/smugglers etc, considering the risk factor invovled? What about privateering? hardly worth a second look.... somthing that historically was dangerous but profitable and forced a role for the deployment of costly counter measures to protect trade. atm, who needs bounty hunters or mercenaries to disrupt or protect trade? its hardly an occupation worth filling, may aswell sail away in your spanish galleon.

If you want to have fun, and risk dying, you still need to cover the cost of losing your ship, somthing that is done better by trade.

game is just a grind. period. needs something more. if making credits was easier it'd be less of a grind and everyone would have the best ship and in about a week stop playing. they're holding on to this as long as they can.

risk in the game is almost zero. so long as you have insurance. you can play solo and never encounter human players who just want to troll you.

as far as bounty hunting goes, that poses a "risk" which is more of an annoyance. you can accidentally hit a cop or sometimes just start getting attacked by someone red but not wanted. yea that was fun. return fire and oops i'm wanted. so it's buggy (and they know it, they're working on it i know).

so you can get set back in your grind with bounty hunting so to speak. so of course they should increase the credits you get.
