2.2 Missions and Other Opportunities HELP !!

Postby Hossyman » Wed Oct 26, 2016 12:38 pm

Until 2.2 arrived, I had a trade routes that netted me about 10 to 15 mil an hour. After the update, I am still an Ally and have all my reps and ranks, but am lucky to find a mission higher than 10k much less 1 mil +. Strangely enough, the last mission I ran before the update was for 1.9 mil. After the update, the exact same mission showed up and was only offering 2k. This has been the case for everything I have seen or done since the update. Am I missing something here ?
Thanks

They have adjusted long range hauling missions, it's been a known adjustment since the launch of beta.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Glad I came on to this game 1 1/2 weeks prior to this update for I was able to make just enough to upgrade to a Cobra using the long haul delivery, seems now that they nerfed it I will have to look and search for other means for a quick profit to try and catch up.

Don't rush to "catch up", there's nothing to catch up to, have fun doing what you're doing would be my advice, there's many a player who started at launch who still just fly Cobras or Asps because they enjoy it.

Play for the fun, not the grind

I only saw a handful of mission boards in my limited playtime tonight so it may just be the RNG but the missions I was being offered were terrible - 8k boom data missions from allied factions for example.
I hope this is just my luck tonight because although you're never going to get rich doing missions, some reward would be nice.

Yep....

Once again I think missions are borked....Well delivery ones anyway....

Really low rewards....As you say, even from allied factions...

Lori said in game tonight that Michael brooks said something about it and I think they are looking into it....

I understand, just tough I needed to be with an anaconda asap but after reading a bit more about shipyards and how you have to go back to change ships and all I think a good all around ship for now will be the ticket. I even love the grind at this time :)

Think it has to do with FDev trying to nerf Sothis/Ceos.
