| Summary | 0015349: Reduce Attacking the Local AFA credit reward | ||||
| Description | From 1.022 release thread: "Now that the credit costs for getting people to join the Federation have been sharply dropped in 1.023, perhaps it's time for the AFA insurgent cleanup mission to not be so farmable for Credit?" [b]How big is it?[/b] At present, killing a single barracks gives you 1600 credit; so a full 20-barracks run nets a minimum of 32000 if fully successful. A test run I did managed to pull this off in 2.73 solar months, and collected 66 Skylaxian pilots (including 3 free scientists) in the process. No other event in the game even compares to this, and certainly not ones that you have control over (the AFA/bounty hunter ambushes also have a 4x multiplier, but you can't choose to play those). Can be tested with the attached save. [b]What should be done?[/b] Some ideas: 1) Just reduce the 4x Credit multiplier to 2x. Seems like a carryover from the ambush mission anyway. 2) Reduce the insurgent spawn rate, to make the cleanout mission an occasional windfall instead of a farm. 3) Reduce or remove the Credit multiplier, and instead make the AFA do Nasty Things to give the player an incentive to clean them out other than the financial reward. I don't particularly like this because it could well end up feeling like a chore, but it's there (and could work better if the mission was more fun). | ||||

Thanks! * Attacking the local AFA has been an easy way to farm too many credits for way too long. It now gives a more sane number of credits (a 2x normal multiplier instead of 4x). |
