Space mining is there where it need to be.
Is a AFK mining after all, no point to be better that planetside mining where you need a active gameplay.
Active gameplay it need to have better rewards that a AFK gameplay.
UL amps price?
Just think when MA really understand how wrong is the BP D-class amp. So high efficiency at a very low cost. It they modify the BP to have a cost like a level 8 amp, only then will people learn that to have better MU you dont need to farm 24/7 with big amps to keep MU up.
To have a nice MU for everyone they need to corect some BP and limit what some setups can get.
But this is allready here, just need a little bit of fix.
The true value of a UL amp is given from the oportunity to be able to use a level 100 ziplex finder.
So much time you cant use is you are stick to something else.
For your info I do use TM8 + Level 7, also did use the p20 and p 50 and I didint see how I can make it work in this days. I know I am only level 95 but it didnt give me the feeling I need to make the upgrade. Maybe after level 100.
And the most important from everything is the price of residue, if MA make something to increase the MU of residue even with 1,5-2% , a UL amp will be better and from there can start again to give carrots to players to follow the road of getting mayhem tokens or to make new events with low amplifiers as rewards, but also not so many like they did in past with hunting gear
