For a week or two.
It will fall off again and go back to 0.5pec per week once people finish the mission. Arkadia need to grow their player base, that is what will help.

Good luck doing 4 iron missions in two weeks. 5k, 10k, 20k, 40k, 60k, 60k points on Wombana, Badger, Navi and Togolossi. Not even with the terminator... each of the finished stage 6 iron missions gives access to one warehouse. If you want to visit all 4 warehouses.. that's 4 iron missions to complete.
People that are doing them now are the pioneers. Mainstream entropians will follow.
To put things in perspective; I still want to do the 5k aurli and the shrooms missions for the faps. I just haven't gotten round to it, because I recently completed my trox iron, and grinded to get my stolen imperium armor.
A lot of players like this way: A garanteed item at the end of a long grind. That's what the stolen imperium armor was, that's what the adj/imp/mod versions of armor on caly and plates and faps and amps are. That's why these smuggler missions will also be popular.
I have looted 3 Graphene Polymer thusfar. And I am on stage 4 Wombana and stage 3 badger.
People will want 7 plates.. so that's 70 Graphene Polymer and 7 Graphene Composite.
All of this loots in the underground. So even if they finish the 4 iron missions, they may not have 70 Polymer and 7 composite. The plates are made like this:
[Smuggler Armour Plate 1] = 1 [Moonshine Armour Plate 1 (L)] + 10 [Graphene Polymer] + 1 [Graphene Composite]
Smuggler Armour Plate:
Impact - 13 / Cut - 14 / Stab - 13 / Block Damage - 1% / Durability - 2500
-> this plate compares to Mod 5b . 41 close dmg vs 40 on the smuggler. the durability on the smuggler is better mod 5b:2200 smuggler:2500
Other loot thats interesting is the L moonshine armor.
Moonshine (L) 31 stab 31 cut 35 impact 20 burn 20 cold 20 pen
97 close protection and 40 firearms protection.
Angel+ liakon in one armor
The full smuggler armor was already shown once.. it's pure speculation, but I think there may be an upgrade mission for moonshine armor too, to turn it into unlimited armor.
Payout might go back to 0.5 per week once the mission is finished.. but who doesnt want these unlimited plates?
My assessment: Payouts on AUDs will not go back to 0.5 per week for a long time to come.
CLDs will collapse further until devs come up with houses to build on the landplots or shoplandplots, and even then.. if there is no farming on these landplots... which is the only thing people hang on too from some pictures...it will be a long ride down to 1300-1400 peds where they will stay.
