Has anyone noticed a lack of high rank NPC pirates in good ships in the hasres sence the combat payout "boost"? I have spent over 10 hours this week trying to see if its just RNG but it seems to be consistantly just crap.
I have Elite combat rank so naturally when I hit the hasres I get dangerous ranked Eagle wings to kill… I came back with my combat miner thinking if I stay in the middle of the hasres hotspot mining this will generate the good stuff… Best I've has is an expert Anaconda and some deadly drop ships. Not even in a wing. Mostly Eagles, Cobras, and DBX's. Its been a damn yawn fest.
Last time I checked 4 to 10 X nothing is still nothing. Having said that I do have another thousand tons of platinum on my carrier now. Had to do something waiting on pirates to show after all.
Even stacking wing massacre missions hardly pays more than they did before. Its not horrible but still not in the universe of even the castrated mining we have now.
