No one should have to rely on a spare half hour here and there to ensure they have a cash flow.
but if thats all you have, thats all you have. suck it up and grind away

this is an rp server, not a cap-ship server
' Wrote:The only way I can make a good cash flow is running my power trade routes and while they are technically inRP, running them over and over and over and over again (and they aren't Point to Point, they are chained) is boring and not really inRP.
if it makes you money, then you have to accept that the life of a long-dstance trucker is lonely and boring.... why should a long-distance space trucker have excitement?

Disco is slowly becoming a grind fest. Many people will simply leave this server if this trend continues. They are asking for a fix before they reach that point because they enjoy this community/mod.
so, if they leave, then the problem is solved.
' Wrote:Saying go trade in convoys ignores the above fact. Yes, it is far more fun in a convoy but if the person doesn't like trading to begin with, convoys aren't likely to help them. Add to that the fact that pirate demands now days can remove 30 mins to an hour of a persons playtime in a matter of maybe five minutes and you see why these people are annoyed.
if you stop doing point-to-point runs, then you'll find that pirates can't catch you up
It pains me to admit that at one time, i would have agreed with this thread. q_q pirates take my money; restrict pirates to asking for 1m credits... etc etc. i used to want the system to be changed.
But then i changed my mind; the realisation that the thing that was broken wasn't the system, but my perception of it.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a new mod coming soonish™. perhaps the nerfing of all these runs is deliberate? perhaps this server isn't a democracy, and perhaps your opinion is merely a feather on the scales. Perhaps you should change your mind, rather than try to change the system, and bemoan the fact that things aren't easy. As monty python says 'come and see the violence inherent in the system'; the trick is not to mind the fact that things are unfair, and then it's not so bad. It's the same for everyone. we all have the same restrictions on out cash-flows, yes, even the peeps who made their money pre 4.84, and have all the cap armours they want: they still have repair bills, and bots/bats to buy, RP cargo to restock, CM/CD to buy, etc.
and there's no chance of this server running out of people who want to play it. how many times do you have to wait to get on the server in the evening/weekends?
