In a surprise announcement on Frontier's super cruise news live stream this afternoon The community team stunned the gathered audience with the news that one of the biggest bug bears of the greater elite dangerous community, game credit balance is to be addressed in a series of iterative changes starting next week with mining. In the following weeks the plan is to move on to the various facets of combat including bounty hunting and combat zone rewards. Right now there are no plans to address wing missions or explorations but that may change further down the line as the situation evolves. The ultimate aim of these multiple balance passes is to bolster the longevity of the whole game going forward by making all the game's loops viable as an option for all commanders regardless of their play style rather than the current situation where everyone gravitates toward laser mining to for example gather the credits needed for a fleet carrier. The team also hinted that rewards for different activities were going to be affected according to the skill needed or the risk being taken for that activity. Whilst we'll need to see what the changes actually bring the implication at least is that something like core mining which requires significantly more skill and patience than straightforward laser mining could in theory at least suddenly become more lucrative or playing as a pure combat pilot may actually pay the bills. The team stressed that the changes happening will remain fluid meaning that they will change as the ongoing balance process continues and also in an innovative step rather than just swinging the nerf bat or changing some numbers quietly in the background they are going to happen as part of the game's ongoing narrative and they will be reflected in Galnet. The plan is to update with more detail on the game's official forums towards the end of this week with the first of the proposed changes to mining coming at the start of next week. Whatever your feelings on the various aspects of Elite Dangerous gameplay or how you prefer to play it's hard to argue against the need for significant balance passes on the current economy especially when it comes to talking about mining. At this point it remains to be seen exactly what changes we'll see start to happen next week but it's very clear that Frontier have been listening of late to some of the louder voices in the community asking for the economy to be reviewed and that change is now on the way. How are you feeling about this and what changes are you now expecting to see? Sound off in the comments below. That's it for now, thanks very much for watching, we'll be back later this week with more videos until then, 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack, we very much look forward to seeing you next time.
