Gold bonuses in Cosmic Exploration make red alerts irrelevant

[Pricia]

Possibly unpopular opinion, but, if I'm going to have to grind anyway, why not go with the option that gives me drones and loot?

The only bonus I see for doing Red Alerts at this point is to get 1500 credits, and that's barely worth 20 minutes IMO.

red alerts are only worth doing for gatherers.. and that only on planet 1, because they halfed the rewards on phaenna and oizys

Halfed the rewards how?

Red Alerts if you're not farming EX+ are literally the best source of job cosmic points by far, if you're into those achievements I guess. Or just the gamba currency.

Halfed the rewards how?

you only get half the rewards points per mission

on the 1st moon you get 10-15k per 20 min red alert, on phaenna + oizys its like 5k per red alert (if you aim for the 500k achievements)

doing the red alerts feels very worthless on crafter, since you can just makro crafts that give twice as much reward per minute

Red Alerts are good for extra points on gatherers, even if they halved the credit. Otherwise, I did the mission once for the credit and then I go back crafting lol.
