Missions are overpowered

[Hokan]

I get it, old guard is salty that they had to endure a long boring grind for money and want newcomers to do endure the same - for me that doesn't know the old days, 24 hour of mind numbingly dull clean time of hauling back and forth for one maxxed out cap seems more than reasonable

This 'salty old guard' still trades to this day. I don't haul ores nor do I do the Trade Events.

And if you read my previous post, you will see that I said "doing a couple of Ore runs per day can net you a billion in a week".

Not sure where the 24 hour grind comes in to it.

If you join today and by tomorrow you want a Cap Ship, CAUVIII, Cloak etc then, yes, you will have to grind for 24 hours.

That is you putting yourself under that pressure, not the Game, to make the money in the quickest time.

If you are willing to build up and do it over a few weeks or a month, then the grind really isn't there.

I think I am sorta understanding where he is coming from.

For example, if you wanted to kit out a Battleship, with the best it can have. You firstly dump 500+mil on it, then 895mil on the armour, 250mil on the scanner, then if you go into getting the best guns for it. You could be adding another 1 billion or excess on it. (Sci-data).

For someone new, or someone who does not power-trade (Because, to be honest. Without a group its ZZZZZZZ). To just kit one ship, is excessively expensive. And the price, funny enough, doesn't even change much between the classes of cap. The Scanner + Armour both will make you pay 1.1 bil minimum for a fully loaded cap. Then you add on the price of the cap and its weapons. This is also not including things such as Jump drive, cloak, hyperspace beacon or what not which come in as additional quirks. But this is -still- for 1 cap.

Snubs on the other hand, are much simpler. Their armours unified, meaning they only use one. They still could throw down 250 million for the best scanner, 25 million for the Cheetah thruster. And if you wanted to fully kit it with the best weapons. You're looking at maybe dropping another 1.5 billion on it. For the one snub.

In essence, you need a lot of money to make your ship the best it can be. And that's only for the 1 ship, when people generally have many more.
