hello it's ricardo and welcome back to elite dangerous yes folks it's coming up to that
funny time of year where all change freezes are entering into elite and all companies shut down
and don't make any drastic changes now frontier is of no change to this either the last and final
update in regards to balancing has happened and for good or for bad depending on which side of the
defense you come down on um this is an interesting change i think in regards to combat for everybody
now on the 8th of december they came out and said there was a further game balancing
happening in regards to combat and delivery mission changes the third and final set of
balance changes have arrived and these will be the final changes that they were putting in place
in regards to game balancing uh for the game in general which basically meant you know bounties
and combat bonds would be going up in particular here they're talking about combat bonds
they're increasing from 80 000 credits to four hundred thousand credits and that's you know
that's a five times increase which is great and good stuff also combat bonds from third
grade were set to increase in payouts and they were going to give four as many times credits as
before the experience gained from thyroids has also been rescaled so that's what you're gonna
get if you go shooting thyroids to try and get um your combat rank up through the scales this
was detailed in the forum post that i've got on the screen as well the game balancing part three
and they also tweaked delivery missions and that's fantastic no dramas here but then what happened
yes folks popping into gal net we also had an update in regards to engineering boosting
which was i think quite welcomed as i'm going through engineering myself on some of my ships
so that's a very long story short what it is effectiveness of engineers upgrading for
ship modules will be boosted until the end of january 3307 so 7th of january next year
what you pay for engineering with the engineers is basically going to cost you less materials
bonus what a fantastic thing is as well now if you're one of these people have engineered
all your ships up then never mind if you're not and you're currently going through engineering
this is a really good in-game bonus and also i've got a video on there how to gain
uh level four materials as well from a sweet spot down in hip 36601 go check it out uh you
basically get all your grade four materials like ruthenium like technetium like tellurium
like polonium uh other things like that as well you know and then what you do is you go and trade
it to the nearest trader the video is on there as well i've been doing some live streams about that
so let's just hear what they've got to say for themselves in regards this engineering post
engineers boost ship module upgrading pilots federation alert the effectiveness
of engineers upgrading for ship modules will be boosted until the 7th of january 3
307. during this time engineered weapons and modules will receive increased augmentation
for the same amount of materials this will apply to every workshop in alliance imperial
federal and independent space lori jameson an engineer based in the shinrata desra
system provided details to vox galactica on how this collaboration came about after the eurypia
incident some of us contacted liz rider and offered our support it was horrifying how her
expertise had been abused by the nmla leaving her unfairly maligned as a terrorist supporter
there were concerns that her situation might reflect badly on engineers in general
we soon established communication links between every workshop and agreed to offer a universal
boost to upgrades hopefully this will remind pilots how much we value their custom and that
we remain a trustworthy resource mel brandon one of four engineers in the colonia region commented
it's about time that we all started talking to each other our services are valuable to
the whole galaxy we deserve better protection maybe we have to start protecting ourselves
now could this mean there's going to be a drastic shift in the way you access engineers
and engineering are the engineers so fed up of being used as a pawn in people's battles and get
their political agendas across that they're going to make a change and start protecting themselves
it was that last comment that i thought there might be more coming to this than meets the eye
you never know you know is the access you're going to have to get to get to engineers
going to be increased is there going to be more hoops to jump through to get into those particular
engineers who knows but certainly it was comments from the engineering community that hey you know
we're undervalued we provide a brilliant service to commanders and we're sick of being used as
political pawns and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah we've got to defend ourselves
well you know we all saw how that happened when the thyroids attacked palin you know certainly
something to consider as well like where the entire engineering community came around and now
with the announced changes to engineering until the 7th of january 3307 or 2021 as us earthlings
know it where materials will not cost you as much to get your engineering done as said by the gal
net article people are going to be out there using engineers more and more and out firming materials
to get the competitive edge over other players and npcs in the game making their ships to be all they
can be thanks very much for watching and listening like and subscribe if you haven't already done so
i've been ricardo new videos on a monday streams on a saturday and sunday see you
soon
you
