I decided to plot my earnings from the Local Mini Tour Support mission for the past two weeks. It is the mission that I have been doing the most recently and I just had a feeling that I keep earning closer to the lower bound than the upper bound.
So were my suspicions founded or unfounded? Well, the chart does speak for itself, showing that there have been a lot more lower bound earnings than upper bound ones. In fact, there was no payout more than 2,500 starbits in the last 14 days. while there were many sub 1,000 starbits earnings.
I'm sure this will even itself out in the long term but for now, it is on the low end. Still, having unlocked this mission, the time to buy a new pack has come down significantly. I still remember the days when it took around 10 days just to earn 10000 starbits. Those were the days.
