I think the recent mission update going balance itself for this moment. Mission runners in O. Delta already stumbled upon unhappy Nomad players that showed them how things are running in Omicrons once or twice, some goes with the Tempest swarms in O-47. Though in the long term it means we are going to experience more caps around in the sacrifice of snub gameplay, which requires a handful of tricks any pilot should know to fight properly. Not to mention an inflation on player market that will put many traders at a disadvantage and will make capital ships itselves as not something rewarding and difficult to aquire.
With all that in mind, the possible solution is either raise trading profits on the same levels of credits per hour, or to lower mission reward to the same amounts of gain as you were trading instead. Increasing a number of trading events same to the recent Rheinland coup ones or Zoner Immigrants is also a considerable variant.
