for you to get a cap
that generates roughly the same income as a powertrading ship, even more if you minmax like you did in the OP.
I see nothing wrong here.
edit: bruh, what a hostile thread.
I'll sympathize with Karst that mission income should probably be reduced by roughly 25% to 33%.
edit2: on a slightly unrelated note, as someone who trades just for the heck of it - there are virtually no pirates anymore and tonnes of powertraders, where did all the pirates go? You could easily make 50m by sitting in a Borderworld/Independent worlds for like an hour or so [provided you pirate each trader for 7.5m~10m]
I have started piracy right away when i came back to the game.
What happened? People were upset, sad, enraged, i have been insulted. Most provide OORP reasons like "this is my only day to make money, please just go away"
When people are not upset? They just send you the cash and go on their ways. There are 0 police activity against pirates, hence you are just giving more attention to the game to earn less than a powertrading session.
Zero incentive for piracy, zero. I had fun pirating when VFK were around in Omegas. They left, and i can just pirate with no opposition what-so-ever.
Multiple times I have tried to get people to a pirate station where they will be paid to deliver us the goods, they always said let me pay and go. I totally understand that and thats why I just do missions now. More fun than shooting transports, more income than piracy, you just dont get blue messages. And well who cares about a blue message against a goddamn transport? lol
