I understand and agree with what Zapp posted. I do not know why something good has to be nerfed all the time. However, I believe admins are trying to make it better. They just aren't going to let you make billions of credits each day. What I hear is that people cannont make the "money" they want to make.
Since I have been on this server all I have heard is how it is an RP server. People rant about the powertraders, powerminers, powerpirates, and the power whatever is next. Funny isn't it. How people's true colors come out when there way to make money has been taken away so to speak.
Lets look at this mining situation. Before one miner with 5 transorts could make 32.5m (50/50 split) per transport before being nerfed. If all five transports made it to Narita that equals 162m for the MINER in one trip! If the miner does it for lets say 5 hours that is 812m!!! While the transports were only making 162m in the same 5 hour span!! If that is not unbalanced I do not know what is.
I have always said you cannot spend RP, but lets be reasonable here. 812m in 5 hours is rediculous and unfair! I have a miner and this is what I do. I can currently mine silver in about 12 mins and fill the ship. I drop the ore and tractor it with one of my two 5k from another account. I do that until both are filled plus my mining ship. I haul it when I need money. That is currently 100m sitting on my two transports whenever I need it, because quite frankly I just do not want to sit and mine forever. I want to get out and do other things in game. I now only need money when I want to start another character. I always have money on my trader and replenish it with the ore when it starts to dwindle.
Here is what I propose for mining and trading. I call it 4x4. Find four places to sell ANY ore in each house except where it is mined. Ex. Diamonds mined in Rheinland cannot be sold in Rheinland. Also make the farthers point the most profitable.
For trading. Give each house 4 high selling points and 4 low buying points. That will cause people to move around Sirius and not congregate in one place hopefully. Place them in systems with not alot of traffic or where people only pass thru like Manchester or Frankfurt. Maybe give bonus' to traders/smuggler for carrying their appropriate goods.
