I can bet 5ped that mob you used to skill captain on have their Level reduced in half now (+-10%).
It seems that it is a "feature" not a bug.
Falagor
From what i've heard its not only in space.....
nope doubt it is that
Yep they nerfed the caraboks on Ark too
Hey,
From few hours testing i'm able to expose a bug in space, all captain profession skill related are nerfed up to 50% of what you'd have gained pre-vu.
Please fix

No, they rebalanced the Caraboks on Ark because they used to be ridiculously unbalanced when it came to skillgains vs level.
2013-01-22 13:54:59 [Local] [Arkadia Official Chris] and yes there has been a change in the mob lvl displays
2013-01-22 13:55:41 [Local] [Sutko] Chris, will caraboks still give same skill gains?
2013-01-22 13:56:02 [Local] [Arkadia Official Chris] yes nother changed to the mobs exept the lvl that is displayed
Arkadia official, Chris, said that only display lvl is changed, nothing else.

Hahahahaha...
1) Skill gains are reduced - tested... others have tested it too (TT wise not just stupid skillpoints).
2) Loot has changed. Like i said before: eye oil -> muscle oil, socket II -> socket I, and change in enhancers/components type drop.
Is he on Quarry atm? I want to talk with him in person...
Either big phat lie or they are not even aware f the problem.

Looks like this is the way they will get their tax back from removing the armour equiping fee...
From few hours testing i'm able to expose a bug in space, all captain profession skill related are nerfed up to 50% of what you'd have gained pre-vu.
Caraboks from lev 10 to 4, Halix young from 9 to 4
They give much less skills now too (caraboks give roughly 60% less TT skills wise)... this is start of the slow death of Arkadia.
screw the looks... they nerfed the hell out of mobs so that skill gains are a shit ton less now. now its going to be even more difficult to reach the ubers. yay! go mindark... ...........
What is the point of these if skills are nerfed to 50%??
Neurobiotic Boosters
Each Neurobiotic Booster A5 5mg consumable item increases skill gains in all professions by 50% after being consumed, and lasts for 5 hours of logged-in time. The timer is paused while the avatar who has consumed the booster item is logged out of Entropia Universe. Unconsumed booster items are non-tradable.
Each Neurobiotic Booster A5 10mg consumable item increases skill gains in all professions by 50% after being consumed, and lasts for 10 hours of logged-in time. The timer is paused while the avatar who has consumed the booster item is logged out of Entropia Universe. Unconsumed booster items are non-tradable.
Increase or restore?
You are entirely correct, skills are nerfed across the board on any mob that has had it's threat level changed. The loot has also changed as you stated and I very seriously doubt Chris would have any idea about it and is only repeating what he has been told by MA.

Assuming that you are right about number saying that skillgains are only 50% of what they used to be, eating pill will only boost skillgains to 75% of what they used to be before nerf.....
Well at the same time im 7.3 HA on ewe ep-41 at level 54 handgun (was 5.4 before). So it's not all bad.
