survey mission minimum distances from the terminals have apparently been increased... requiring us to waste more time to get less credits.

i'm struggling as it is. please stop.

Er, they were broken and way too easy before. I'm a bit saddened because I was running the missions like mad, but it makes sense that they do that.

Well now to run a mission for only 500 credits, you are required of travelling a minimum of 4000m....

thats about 2 hours of running for only 500 credits.

Its getting rediculous because unlike those that make money by killing humaniods,

one of our only sources of raw credits (server generated) was running missions....

BOO! I loved my cash runs =/

And here I thought I would never have to worry about money in game.

I guess the bright side is I got in on it quick enough to get a bank roll going. I feel sorry for those behind us that won't have this luxury.

Not to be a party pooper or anything, but why not shuttle between two cities that are the required distance apart?For example, let's takeRori.Survey around Restuss for good spots of say metal (can even use spots that show up in-town), then shuttle to Narmie (120 creds if I remember right), take two metal missions, survey for some good spots for say gas, shuttle back to Restuss, complete the metal missions, take two gas missions, and start racking up frequent flyer miles. Sure theticket pricewill cut into your profits, but you'll definitely be more time efficient, even if you get really unlucky and have 10 minute waits every trip. Two missions - 120 for the ticket =smaller but still positive profit for each leg.

Still, 4km radius now? I'll have to avoid taking missions in any map-centered cities now unless I'm going off planet. The "world" is only 15km across, right?

About the surveying missions being broken, I was wondering about that. I took a mission about a week ago on Corellia and no matter where on the planet I was, it always told me I was too close to the mission giver for it to work.

Have they fixed this? Or do you have to go off planet? lol

How far do we need to travel is it really 4000m. The mission still gives the message to go 512m. LOL we get a new bug with a nurf priceless.

1,300 meters worked for me in Duaba Guerfel.

Heck, going to my harvestors to fulfill the requirements of the missions works great, and they're only 1.1-1.8k away from Keren...

I made it from Artisan to Tailor without doing any missions at all. If you want to be a Messenger then you can complain. An Artisan is a crafter, not an errand boy.

So stop nerfing yourself.

I have to agree. After I stopped taking missions and started focusing on selling resources and crafted items, my rate of income mulitplied considerably. I'm on the Master Artisan threshold now and haven't taken a mission since Engineering I.

Granted, I've been a bit jealous of my scout friend who started a week after me and reached Master Scout well before I got near Master Artisan,plus she had a couple hundred k creds to boot. But she also had a lot more playing time.

I'm happy. Make the best of what you have available...

Well, I picked Chef as my profession, and I'm having a bit of trouble convincing the populace that they'd do better eating my stuff. Soo... until that day, I need to suplement my income with missions, hehe.

Well now, the missions are bugged in that you get paid a lot more if you are a highly advanced combat profession. IMHO that should've been fixed before they nerfed the mission.

BUT, I was making 3600 credits in 5 minutes before, so surely they were too easy.

You need to take TWO missions of the same resource instead of just one mission. You will make 1k for each run then. And if it takes you two hours to run 4km and back, you need to let go of the shift button
