' Wrote:Ouch, yeah, that's pretty bad. At least people CAN do missions now, even if they don't earn cash as fast as trading.
If it was as good as trading it would be the same problem all over again, except instead of one person it will be a mass. Not a very logical idea, so you can either do one of two boring ass trades for massive cash. Or you can have some fun popping a ton of NPC's for a smaller amount of cash and some rep if you don't already have it.
I myself like to do a mix of both, just make an indy (grab a merc/freelancer ID) character and use what ships are available to you from the faction you do missions for. The RP backing behind having a ship you shouldn't have is; "I have such a good rep with faction x they were willing to reward my efforts with this ship." It's much more enjoyable, albeit more frustrating at times, than trading will ever match up too. Big deal you make less credits on it, don't you play this game just to have fun?*
