' Wrote:I play here more than 2 years. I started twice from nothing, my chars were deleted because of inactivity.
I am bad fighter, so I avoid fights. I like trading, I like flying around, observing, talking with people, even pirates.
Trading is not as boring as people say. Losses doesn't hurt, pirates are easy to avoid, since they are sitting on the same lanes.
I think the economy is not bad. There are many different routes with good profit.
Various limitations - blockades, embargo, faction restrictions, bans from docking etc - make trading more interesting. It needs thinking how, when, what, where. It is a challenge.
Two hours easy trading and you can set up well equipped fighter (30mil), two days trading and you have gunboat, easy week and you are in destroyer. It take some time and patience to earn money for battleship, but it is ok. It would be silly to earn money too fast, this is RP game, and life in Sirius is not easy.
What is month or two if you play Freelancer since hm... six years.
What could I say against current economy:
-It is too hard to start first char from zero. It is hard to get first transport ship, but after you get one, things become easy.
-There are not good trade routes in House lawful space. If you want to earn money you have to go outside, but if you want to be lawful House trader, there is no job.
- Mining is too much restricted and only out of House space.
- I would appreciate some elements of dynamic economy. I know almost every route for my chars, and if routes would change, it would be more fun.
Generally, all is quite well.
I haven't seen you around much and don't know you, so I can't say much to you about the time you have or if you're old enough to have a full time job, so please forgive me if I'm incorrect.
There are many of us here that have full time jobs. Some are military (like me) and don't have time to sit around playing a game for 10-15 hours per day. We have hardly any time to do much of ANYTHING except sit online for two, maybe three hours RPing it up with folks. If we don't have the money to do such a thing, those two to three hours are spent trading, 40 mil and hour for that is around 80 to 120 million per night...and that's BEFORE pirates, server crashes, flying to and from the target, hitting rocks with your transport, ect ect.
It simply takes too long to earn credits, and I've actually been doing missions in my bomber because the turnaround on the money is more than trading or mining.
The best suggestion was made by Friday and is located here. All the other posts are just of bitching and whining. How about we come up with more of a solution than complaining about it and explaining what we don't like about it? Personally, I'm all for the Point of Sale addon. Worked for mining, why not trading too?
