And that time you got one that doubled the bots. EXPLOITER!

I was involved in a BP mission a few days ago that turned out to had been "spiced up". I wasn't aware of it until yesterday actually.

The cash reward had been in the 200k range and I thought that was only fair given the sheer amount of ships I wasted there. It didn't feel like an exploit very much. It didn't level me off either.

Tonight, though, I was involved in such as BP mission and although the overall XP wasn't really out of the ordinary (for near 90 bots), the cash loot at the end did surprise me.

Out of fairness to other players, I'm staying away from BP for a while, not that it's going to make a difference anyhow (I suck at it!).

So, given it seems I'm the only one not having been aware of this until recently and that many seem to have actually benefited from this thing (this would explain the sudden surge of level 14s, 15s, 16s and 17s I've seen recently), I believe we're driving economy down.

If this goes on, we'll have such an enormous difference in cash reserves that some ships will become so expensive that noobs will never be able to obtain them unless they resort to this sort of thing.

So, what if noobs benefited from "government breaks"? Aka, food-coupons! They get to buy their equipment at a price that's lower than some more advanced (richer?) players?

How many level 17s have you seen?

At least 3. Two of whom I remember but I will withhold their names in case they've actually earn it.

I've seen plenty 14s and 15s.

And this is in Combat, Light and Heavy weapons. Combat piloting isn't that easy to up.
