Missions are overpowered

[Lemon]

Btw one heavy BS with MK8, JD, cloak costs 2.3 billion
That's without survey module and sci data guns. That's a lot of hours for someone starting out from sunburst. Hours of PURE GRINDING WITHOUT STOPPING FOR ROLEPLAY that get damn boring at times.

I have been here 9 years and only have 4 Battleships, 1 has CAUVIII, none have Cloaks/JD/Survey Modules/Docking Modules/Science Data Guns.

You don't need most of that to play the Game.

My experience with on-line Games only consists of this, so I may have this wrong, but I don't suppose a lot of the Games you play on-line actually let you have all the same equipment/skills etc, 5 minutes after you start playing it, as the person who has built up experience/credits etc over years of playing it.

And as a pure novice in flying Caps, I can still make 14 million every 10 minutes doing missions (I don't even use my 2 heavy weapons, H Mortars).

My point is, it takes a long time now, it's not a "broken economy" you actually have to work hard and make choices for what ships you have and buy.

And buffing trading slightly won't break it while leaving missions the way they are, and just tweaking the gunboat payouts
