The ingame currency only tractor beams also got nerfed, this is now a required item for moving cargo above a certain size.
Seems like they realised cargo players buy a starter ship and nothing else and that’s simply not an acceptable contribution.
They should be more like the boomers who buy every new fomo pvp fighter but seemingly only sit in stations and complain about pronouns and millenials instead of every actually flying their $800 collection.
I would buy it for pets if they required meat but I would never consume it myself.
