So delivery missions seem to be back to some good paying stuff with 2.4.02. Maybe not as many missions on the board as when 2.4.0. But better payouts that 2.4.01.

Have fun, fly safe. o7


Since 2.4 dropped been doing missions 60Ly with a 22000ls run to the planet for a bit over 7 million, sometimes you could stack a couple smaller contracts but today same run is 1.2 Million. Most of the Passengers runs are Wanted not that is a problem but so far 700k appears to be the average which is down almost half. I still have many places to check so that is why I said NERF after 3 Systems.


We had a bus route where before last patch paid over 1 million per passenger.
After patch it was barely 100k per head.
And missions per factions has gone from about 30 to 10.

This and the AX missiles blunder makes me call this last patch less of a nerf hammer. This was a nerf nuke.
And I'm absolutely certain they never intended to hit the AX missiles the way they did.
I'm sure they will buff it back up once they figure out what the hell happened.

I agree and maybe the people play testing are useless and they've underestimated how good some of the players can be :lol:

Well if their livestreams are anything to go by FD thinks an xbx controller is a top notch control instrument....

I'm not the best pilot, I'll admit to that but I managed to dodge most of the damage from the Daffodil, in the fdl with not too much effort.

On a side note.

I'm back in the RES sites now, nowhere near the profitability of days yonder but it's still about 4-5 million per restock.
And I'm seeing conda's range from 100k to almost 500k each.
Might also just be luck but the last few sessions I haven't been waiting around for targets much either.

Aye thanks, i had seen that one been a good help.

On a side note, did they recently changed the rewards for bounty?
I used to get around +150k, now its 800 >.<
Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate.

Nerf nuke sounds about right. I had a little milk run that dropped down to 1.25 from 22 Mil. Not sure why we have been going down this bug path since May 2016. Anyway some say Elite is not about Credits - well it can become not about credits when you have enough to play your way. Sure you can enjoy Elite in a Sidewinder but for me I see the goal post and head for them.

Oh just failed a full stack. My fault entirely when my new PC parts arrived I stripped the guts from the old one popped then into a friends PC and started to build my Ryzen until Oops no CPU they forgot to ship it and I forgot to measure twice, cut once. Oh well back up today. The Geforce GTX 1080 is so sweet.

Well having finally finished fitting out the gunship for bug hunting, and changing out a couple of the missile racks for the new multis, I though I give it a run, but I guess it's shear awesomeness ;) has scared of the 'Goids, as I spent a good 20+ mins without seeing a single non-human signal source.

Oh well, war won, glad I could be of help :P

I've been through a weird one.. the kind of actions where you just go "what just happened?"

Was in a black ops mission, having to kill a bunch of civilians.. scanning ships, interdicting and shooting.. boring as fuck but what the heck, i wanted to give it a try.
my 5 first targets were harmless to novice so it was a quick job.
The 6th one was a deadly Viper MKIV. I was in an imperial courrier (amongst other things, long range multicannons, eng shields and 2 shield boosters).

That fight was a bit longer but not really hard, just a bit of power management here and there. He was at 50% hull and i still had 1/3 of my shields. By then i had quite a big bounty in that system, and two system authority vipers arrived, but before they were able to shoot, i started hearing the canopy cracking noise, and just blew up.

I still had shields.. but poof..

Since i never do combat, i am not really aware of all the weapons upgrade. Is it possible that that viper had some sort of projectile tweak that was killing my modules? i can only see power plant damage to cause me to go off like that. He almost never had clear shots on me but he had what looked like a class 1 turreted multicannon that was tickling me.

Not a big deal really it was not painful to rebuy but i am really curious :p
