I am failing to see a problem here. Before missions were broken af and far far more profitable than even the most broken of trade routes. It got patched and now there is no reason to do stuff anymore? Perhaps you should have been around when missions were totally trash for money. (Also using location specific points is stupid because you can just go elsewhere)
To quote @Thyrzul from the Discovery Public Server:
Quote:Hurricanes didn't exist and nobody gave this many fucks about missions being bad.
Hurricanes happened and missions suddenly became better.
People noticed that missions are still better in certain areas with certain ships than in other areas with other ships,
Hurricanes get more expensive, and people still cry rivers about imbalance.
You can, you know, just trade. And yes, I saw that last comment. Very few people enjoy trading, I myself only know three people that enjoy it.
