Whats disappointing is the people who buy a Salvager with rep to suit and the next day find the ore they are about to start mining yields half what it did they day before.
Buying a mining ship with the rep to suit and find the field you are about to mine has had it's yields dropped by 90%.
Thats disappointing. You could say frustrating or better yet bloody disgraceful and extremely aggravating.
Perhaps if a little restraint was shown?
If this is a beta, it's no-way to fix it. Turn on, turn off.
Try reducing the yields/prices by 15%?
If that doesn't achieve what you want, then turn it down another 5%.
Dropping yields by 90% overnight is ridiculous. You might as well delete it. No-one will use it and a lot of people will feel cheated by the massive outlay for almost 0 return.
Next time, try turning it down a little at a time. Keep moderating it a piece at a time. You can blame market fluctuations. That way, you find a happy medium.
It won't take long. Drop a 15% first time and 5% per week. In one month, the price has dropped over a third and you can see movements in the mining population and all the people who feed off it.
Take a view and move on. Adjust etc.
