Suggestions / Exploration and Scavenging rewards too high
« on: January 24, 2020, 04:22:52 AM »
Hi there, although i am absolutely new to this game and not at all experienced, i want to make an observation towards rewards from exploration. Playing the vanilla game, i was able to fly araound in my fleet consisting of 2 destroyers, a light carrier and a bunch of frigates + freighters and explore unsurveyed systems in addition to the odd bounty in one of them. My last haul brought back 2 pristine nanoforges, a synchrotron Core, the blueprints for the Legion, the Paragon, an alpha core, several gamma cores, about two dozen more blueprints and subystems with a combined worth of maybe 400k, not sure, not at my computer right now, plus a lot of goods to sell on the market.
This seems a tad excessive to me. That's about 3m credits earned with a fleet worth about 250k. I did not sell those but learn them, so i am not swimming in cash, but should i ever start a colony, that colony would be able to print about everything i could ever want. The fact that those systems are also not necessarily heavily guarded makes this worse, there were occasional sights of huge slow pirate fleets, but who cares? They can't keep up with a player and they can't guard a place anyway, as salvaging is instant. I felt more under threat brining the cores back then getting them. And compared to the bounty of making bounties, i simply don't see why i would ever do anything else then scavenging for this kind of reward.
Maybe i got insanely lucky and found exactly the systems needed, but i feel like Orbital stations etc. are simply too plentiful. As a result, i just got all the mods to make the void more dangerous and started anew, as it felt like i had just cheated the game.
