Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

CMDRs,

From May 24 to May 30, FDEV is introducing an extended ‘Bonus Weekend’, which will bring temporary but lucrative bonuses to the galaxy!

The bonuses we will activate for this period are as follows:

• All profits from trading activities will be increased
  (the amount of profit will vary depending on what you are shipping and where you’re shipping it to.
  Rare commodities are excluded from this bonus.)
  
  
• The materials requested for engineering recipes will be at one rank below the existing ones
  (cheapening the current cost of engineering your modules.)

We’re not sure if this will be a one-time-only event or that FDEV might have some more..
More info & feedback here:

Fly safely! o7

Yea....

Like it isn't easy enough to make money anyway......

Or are they trying to make the game so easy it's pointless....

Like it is to me at the moment.......

Sorry for the negative....But it's really pissing me off the way it's going....

I am sorry you feel this way Kharma..
Maybe a game like NMS is more to your liking?

As for this special event, I think it will help lots and lots of new and not so new players making some space $$$ so they can finally buy and/or outfit their favorite ship, so it's a good thing that FDEV is doing

Yep maybe NMS is......

But I've already been there......Done that and got the T-Shirt...............

I played the original Elite and it was a hard game.....A fucking hard game.....Docking was a kin nightmare.....Making money was a kin nightmare....

It led to pieces of paper spread everywhere with station names and market prices on......

No third party well do this, go there, buy this, sell it here programs......

I died docking 100x more than I have died in any situation in this incarnation of Elite......

The greatest moment was getting enough money to get a docking computer.......

I shall reiterate the orginal game was fuckin hard graft.......

But I loved it for that fact...It was a REAL challange........

Dumbing down shit to make it more accessable takes away the challange in my opinion.......

If People want to earn more watch the plethora of youtube vids that exist......

People want to learn to mine/kill/engineer/explore etc watch youtube.......

A luxery that was not about in 84.........

It's just reflection of modern life......

People want shit handed to them on a silver platter with no work involved.....

*Faints*

Bleh.. challenge or not, easy money or not, i don't find any incentive to even launch ED these days.
I'm down to like 200M in credits.. i need money badly some might say.. well. for what? Got the biggies, and nothing to do of them.
i may pop in, try a cargo run or two, get bored of doing the same thing i"ve been doing for 2 years and logoff..

Already got a job

Pretty much agree.

Rapidly approaching 30B, I know money begets money but It's not that hard. Bring back decent MMs and other single player missions. I enjoy 'Working' for my cash.

The state of the game for me is mirrored in the activity of this forum.......

The game was always pointless.

Surprising it's taken that long for some to realise.
