Topic: Imbalance: Missionrunner vs industrial
Wrong forum, i know, but, im not allowed to post this in the correct section
As i am completely new to this game, i have no idea as to how the mecanics work, what to do to not die and so on, but theres 1 thing in particular that i can speak of, and that has a tad more weight in my role as new onboard.
I noticed a massive imbalance in the amount of money one makes from the getgo of the game.
I firstly created an industrial toon, wich i naturally build up as an industrialist at my best capabilities not knowing exactely where to spend my EP.
Reached a good million within 1 day of playing. Took me a few hours, to earn enough for my first light mech, just mining titan ore and liquizit. Not bad imho.
But, as i progressed, i really couldnt see myself sit all day and mine, so i decided to restart my toon with a secondary Email account and go Mission running instead...
Now, after a good 2 days, i reached my first mark: 100.000 .... ok, that is REALLY poor compared to being a miner / harvester o.O
that huuuuge gap, really needs some attention, as im bored by repeating the same missions over and over and over again, just for a few peanuts compared to mining, wich i could do by AFK-ing and autopiloting... wich happens to be a recipe for botting
"Why not start as an industrial and go do missions later?"
Because i dont WANT to, and its not in MY interest to sit there AFK while the robot does something. I want to blow stuff up, NOT stare at some beams caressing the ground or plants...
also... When doing missions... i like to know what im signing up for BEFORE i sign up ... So, making me accept a mission, without any knowledge of the missions goal, seems really awkward to me...
