Well a simple fix for the current "i pay credits to mostly lose credits" dilemma would be to just reduce the mission costs by 20-30% and maybe add a Rich lv4 lockbock Mission and a Bountifull lv6 one - won't be op but at least it would be a profit.
Alternatly just add back in the Beta Chance of Item Lockboxes similar to Treasure Hunting is right now.
Couse atm Slicing just isn't worth ist anymore.
Augments are cool in concept - but well you need 3 and ur set (1 x ear and 2 x implants) - not counting the off-chance of a augment proc on a raid reciepe Drop Craft that might happen in some weeks if your lucky.
And augments before max well - they don't sell at all.
Missions, some are nice but well if they aren't a Bonus but the main thing you Slice for its nothing to write home about either.
And Cyber Recepies - well most aren't worth a thing (the space ones lock good but well starting 50 you most probably won't run space missions anyway and the BoP ones...)
