2020 PvE Overhaul, Phase 1: Current State and NPC/Mission Reworks

[Lythrilux]

People have complained about the lack of Traders so that they can pirate them. I believe that this kind of payout will reduce people needing to trade even more.

I didn't trade because it's boring. I did missions because it's fun. Missions were nerfed before previously with the insistence/belief that it would force people back to the lanes. It didn't. We just stopped logging in to make money entirely.

These missions are really fun and making money from them is even better. My only suggestion would be to introduce more means of counter-play or incentives for hostile IDs to intercept missions, as with credit cards removed it's a bit diminished right now.

If we want to make people Trade, Trading needs to be made more fun. Profit isn't really the issue, and I don't think nerfing missions is a good idea. A quick skim of the playerlist shows that missions are a massive benefit to the playerlist right now.
