Why was Survey devices put back to Pre-CU levels? Was it harming the economy?

No, but it was "harming" the accuracy % of our emulation for 1.0

Is the TEF system part of this pub? (I could have sworn they were in the weekly updates). Same goes for calling/using driods in caves.

TEFs were removed in pub 13.1 so sadly have no place here.

New mission payouts may break Basilisk for new players. Established people have gotten rich off of 20-50k Janta missions, and 90-160k sliced BH missions. Now that the max payout will be extremely lower, new players will be at a competitive disadvantage to established players. The glass ceiling between established and new player players just turned into a concrete wall!

This will be fine and dandy at 1.0 however, since everyone will be starting from the same place.

This realy bums me out. I just started playing so i have no idea what the higher paying missions will be like but is it still worth it to go BH/Mpistol/smug for slicing mission terms? I know we cant slice Bounty ones now so im just wondering what will be the best route to take.

I guess for good or ill, it kinda encourages people to participate in the economy now. Hunt, harvest, farm, resourcing, loot whoring, lol, etc. Do more than simply grind missions. Can still grind same ones for loot or critter resources though.

Standby for possibly multiplayer experience. LOL

I agree, but in a server that has been existing for nearly 4 years. Established players still have the deep pockets, and assets to play the game solo. While new players will never be able to reach that point, unless they join a guild and are helped by older players. Starting this game, and creating a crafting empire solo is just about over now.

non sliced BH missions go upwards of 90k I believe. It will be the best source of credits I believe now.

I figured that maybe spin groups would make a comeback. I guess time will tell.

Forgive my ignorance, but what's a spin group? A melee group with spin attack that aoes lairs? haha

People will still be able to group with CH pets/ATSTs and pull high paying missions. The highest payouts will be harder to get now, but you can still pull 25-50k a mission.

Changed the formula for calculating the credit rewards of destroy missions. Being in a group no longer gives a significant boost, but the new baseline is higher than what payouts were while in a group before. A player's/group's level now has a small impact on the max potential payout (higher level groups can see higher paying missions).
Fixed grouped mission payouts to function as they did at 14.1. The payout is divided by the number of total players instead of only by the number of players in range. A player must be in range to receive their portion.

im not sure what that means but i was told that being in a grp and finishing a mission splits the payout with the group even if they are out of range . So my understanding is that if are in a 2 man grp and one is out of range you still only get 50% of the payout and i guess the rest just vanishes? I dont know if this is true or not

people play this game to run missions 24/7 and continue to log in to do so?
seems boring to me
