The simple solution to 5k credit caches in high tier missions: Universal Medallions
About 5 years ago, with the Saint of Altra update, DE added a new resource called Universal Medallions, which could be exchanged at any syndicate for 1,000 standing. It's not a lot, but the versatility is one of the nice things about them. You're able to get them from disruption missions (excluding Mars and Deimos) in rotation C, at about 5% chance. Now, in the years since, they've only been available from disruption missions. No bounty rewards, no Ayatan Sculpture/Star style world drops, either sitting out in the world or from lockers, nothing. And with the recent rise of complaints surrounding credit caches as bounty rewards following 1999's release, why not implement caches of 1, 3, 5, even 10 universal medallions into the drop tables? Universal medallions have such a small effect, I don't think it would be catastrophic to give them out a little more freely.
Do you have any thoughts on this? I'd love to hear your opinions.
