If you’re farming you have a chance to loot additional credits. If you’re not farming you don’t get any additional and that is quite fair.
I think you’d agree that if the drops were 100k I would be hearing complaints that it’s not 250k or 500k or more... with the same non-players sitting in base waiting for the game to suddenly become “earn credits while sitting in base doing nothing.”
...though as I write that it does give me an idea for a hilarious event for the future :-)
