Me Wrote:Effort doesn't relate to amount earned ... player interaction is what counts
More effort doesn't mean you earn more money. Missions earn nothing compared to trading and mining, and I say the high level ones take more effort than both activities combined.
The idea of a secret resource rush would work for maybe a day - news of really profitable routes/mining spots spreads like wildfire. The synth paste bug in Omicron Delta was abused by tons of people who didn't "discover" it, they heard about it from other players / looked it up on FLstat or FLcompanion. A mild increase in profits in a random field would be good though - similar to the trading event scheme set up by Xoria.
