If one thinks Congress Activity has more to do with profit than it does spite or ego-stroking, we'd have joined IND to dodge the perverse hate by this point..
Another realistic interpretation of the need for a Pscrap nerf would be the fact that everyone and their aunty made Indy Junkers to powertrade PScrap with no-RP, and that at one point ~60% of the active server would be Junker ID'ed.
To go way back... jumping started after POB supplies were moved, the credits are really icing on a useless cake.
I think the P-Scrap economy is better balanced now than it has been up to this point, besides perhaps the fact that Alpha suffers a penalty compared to the GMG and Corsairs while being a bit further.
My actual contribution to this tho besides a laugh is that i get an uncomfortably-strong sense of fulfillment when im able to process large amounts of data into realistic terms, and graduated with a mathematics degree.
Ive also wasted a majority of my hours on Disco trying to simulate my own economy and have done decently enough.
Id be happy to expand on that work and help Xoria or whoever with proper economy balance if people care much about it
