Premium scrap pricing.

[Wildkins]

Just for argument's sake, here is the current profit per second for some ores in the game (it's really annoying to find these since they're serverside) with a 4k transport, travelling from origin to destination at best possible speed.

P. Scrap from Texas - > Alpha (pre-nerf): $38,540/sec

(same as before)

Honestly, at this point, it seems a nerf to prices isn't what Scrap needs. It needs a nerf to mining rate, perhaps, as it is much faster than any other ore (if wiki is to be believed, which, well...take that information with a tub of salt). But now..it's silly.
Also, gg trying to encourage people other than junkers to mine premium scrap by nerfing the lawful sellpoint so hard into the ground it's more profitable to powertrade normal commodities.
