And now for something completely different.
While doing early bounties (70-90K) I've noticed that very frequently (half the time and its clearly random) the resulting debris is of very low density. Like 0.2-0.3. Meaning that even with salvaging skill and two rigs I'm getting almost no resources. While in AI on AI fights I've never saw those low density debris fields. Is it a bug?
Even without it those bounties are resource negative with all resource gathering skills. But with this they turn into a bad joke. And while we are at it: why exactly pure combat fleets became so low on resources? I mean with that level there is no need to destroy them just force them to deploy their ships, shoot for cheap damage then disengage and this is it. They will run out of supplies. Except they don't.
So what's the point of those bounties in current version? Piracy in the Core provides the very same experience/ships/weapons, much more resources and more money from exploiting deficits. To get something different you need those special bounties from the contacts. And from the looks of it, current bounties are more of a noob trap or something like that. Things that you are not supposed to do.
