Yeah, boi! Things will get a little bit spicy
Perhaps I should skip the mining build for Xander's next ship.

On a more serious note, PvE piracy should be fixed. Either that or I'm just bad.

Sparlin007The next job fix should be the more... illegal activities

The thing is that profit from piracy is direct function of markets and mining. So if mining goes down, expect same for piracy. Realistically speaking, there is no way piracy to make more money than mining. Smuggling is another thing though. There is reason why people pay fortune for illegal substances and services.

The most I've ever gotten into "Piracy" [excessive airquotes] is stealing the cargo from pirates I was bounty hunting, then selling the cargo to the mission-giving station. Usually, I saw a black market price of around a third of their normal price.
Overall, I found it to be not worth it, especially due to the silent-running minigame.

You no longer feel like wasting time by flying smaller ship killing smaller ships. You were not getting enough credits to even cover repairs and ammo.

Vinh KruczekI welcome the Bounty change for many reasons but there is that special one of mine:

You must've been flying the worst missions ever, then. Most harmless missions pay 50-60 thousand credits, around 16-60 times the refuel/rearm if your shields never go down.

Ah, no. I am not speaking about the missions. I am speaking about flying Imperial Eagle or Viper Mk III around NavPoint or RES in order to rust them off and kill a few random pirates, yet getting payout so low it just felt like wasting time - as you were making ten to even thirty times more in medium ships.

ArtifactHunter_For those of us performing the Capital Ship CGs, what's your reason for supporting your side? I'm personally providing the Empire with resources because my home system is surrounded by Imperial space and it's therefore wise to be am ally, and I make a pretty great income from it.
See my character's biography for the answer
