how come, when it comes to balancing anything, people want to nerf stuff? (responding to the first few replies in the thread)
dont nerf mining prices, just increase profits from regular trade, what alvin said.
the mining mod killed the regular trade. the intention was good, but the great experiment failed in the long run by forcing people to stay in a handful of systems to actually interact with anyone. before that, it was 20% of server pop in NY. nowadays, its 40-50% of server population in NY, dublin, tau 23 and omegas 11 and 7.
pirates need to go to these systems to interact with commercial ships, and the lawfuls follow, ending up with even more people racked up in one system.
dont nerf mining. buff regular trading. increase all regular goods prices by the same multiplyer and it's done.
edit:
unless ofc its intentional to keep people grinding.
