Remove Nomad Cruiser Missions / Replace Nomad Cruisers in Missions with Battleships

[Lythrilux]

Lyth, I get it: You expect other people to be a risk while spending most of your time on forum discussions. Why do you expect other people to be more ambitious ingame than yourself? Don't you see the issue there, especially when the player count isn't reaching 75 currently? Blaming players to not do the job YOU want them to do is pretty cheap, and it absolutely ignores the fact that the game offers enough internal mechanics to not force players to do that job.

At this point I think discussing with you is a waste of time, since your points of view are so far away from the meta and the actual real possibilities that this is leading nowhere. Have a nice weekend and enjoy making yourself ridiculous infront of the community for blaming them for not playing your game. Some people here actually try to get their factions fit into the game, not the other way around.

What a mess of a response; you've contradicted yourself. Do you realise that you've agreed with me and that the 'problem', if any, on your part is player related? I'm not asking you to be as ambitious as me - and let's be honest, logging in to hunt farmers is not being 'ambitious', and I'm not as ambitious as I used to be, it's just not being lazy and playing your role. If you can't step up to the plate, admit it. Just don't cry about it, blame mechanics/people, and throw ad hominems, when the fault lies on your own shoulders. The player count is what it is because of the telegram ban, and summertime. Don't blame it on Missions of all things, that's just stupid. And lol, you're saying that my interpretation of the current mechanics is to force players to play in a certain way, whilst you have been arguing that players should not have the freedom of choice to do anti-Nomad missions in Delta.

The community already does the job without me needing to tell them to do it. People log Core, Order, Corsair, AI and Aoi ships to interrupt people farming. It's just you who can't be bothered.

We agree on one thing: your contribution to the discussion was a wasteful, as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about, and fabricate and overdramatise issues that don't exist. Stop whining, play the game, and be your role by logging in to ambush farmers. How about this weekend, you make that your goal.

I think that's entirely subjective. In the past at least, missions were just simply another means of earning money.

What about making NPC missions being actually profitable? Just a question here, because getting the reasonable credits for killing bad guys wouldn't really hurt, especially when we are speaking about population barely going over 40.

I've played Elite: Dangerous for a few months already and I say that's what I missed as Bounty Hunter the most: the REASONABLE pay for killing bad guys that aren't players. Just push the Pods' prices at all prison stations (and their unlawful counterparts) to Pennsylvania levels. Trading and mining still gives way more money than farming NPCs around.

NPC Missions used to be super profitable, comparable to if not better than trading. They got a big nerf though unfortunately. I think they were much better before, as you'd have things like Ranseurs and Legates farming in their respective home systems and creating lots of ambient activity.
