hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous as we know
mining changes are taking effect and have indeed now taken effect we all got given a
little note by frontier sending our email boxes and all over social media about these changes
let's take a look because now those changes have started to take effect
so here is the email in question about what is changing in regards to balance and we can see that
pay night is going to be capped at 600 000 credits low temperature diamonds at 700 000 and void opals
at 1.3 million this we know it's old news came out last week and went through the community like
wildfire so most commanders including myself were out doing some mining and a good job we did so too
because now as of this date these changes are now in force i went out and had a good
look at some of the third parties tools like inara and eddb to have a look exactly what
the prices were like in the market so here we go here is a good tool here inara if you're a
new player then this stuff will indeed save you an awful lot of time going in between stations
looking for prices seeing to find where you can get certain commodities and items so if you
haven't or don't know anything about it go check it out i'll put all the links in the description
so as you can see it filters by where you can sell a particular commodity i've selected pay
night for this particular demonstration and you can see it was listing not only fleet carriers
and stations well fleet carriers i've got rid of those i'm interested in the station price
as you can see all these stations outposts and planetary bases now seem to have a maximum price
of around about 355 000 credits so first off i thought well perhaps this is just inara perhaps
there seems to be an issue let's check another well-known tool so i went over them to eddb
edb again another fantastic tool written by the community for the community that will help you
find those particular instances whether it's a commodity whether it's um a weapon a module
anyway i digress as you can see here i've done a search on pay night
and then i've gone basically to look at outposts and stations and that sort of thing again it's
capped 355 000 if you're lucky to get that amount so it would seem the bottom certainly has fallen
out of pay night but what about those other materials what about low temperature diamonds
so back over to inara because i was there anyway did my search in the drop down box quite nice to
go and find things like void opals temperature diamonds void opal is probably the best one to
go for it's right at the bottom of the list for this demonstration click on search it
brings up everything including fleet carriers so remember to click on that fleet carrier filter
to get rid of those off the screen once you've done that and we can see some commanders of fleet
carriers haven't turned around and changed it you can see that the maximum price you're gonna get
for void opals at the moment right is 630 odd thousand credits well that's not a hell of a
lot is it and then doing another selection going up there to low temperature diamonds uh that used
to be a great mainstay you could get around about a million credits per turn in its heyday for that
again select our fleet carriers and let's see what we can get um do a search on the price there we go
680 000 give or take the odd couple of thousand seems to be the best price you can get for that
again if you're lucky so these changes have indeed taken effect
what will they mean to you does this mean you're gonna have to go and sell your fleet carrier
for all you new players they might force everybody to go and start doing the missions and getting out
there and exploring elite dangerous doing the trading doing the combat and if so i think then
this is a good thing there's always going to be people in the community can think oh i don't like
change i don't like this i don't like that i don't play in this game anymore there's always going
to be people like that and for you those people you also have your reasons again for me i think
it's going to be a good thing elite dangerous is so vast in what you can do within a game
it's good to get out and have a bit of a change and explore and then wait for the next
gold rush to happen i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching like and subscribe you've
