Donation missions for a Superpower-aligned faction used to be an automatic "sure, I'll do that" for me. Now, I have to stop and think whether or not I can actually afford it.

Between the extra-high donation requests and the extra rebuys caused by the tougher AI, my cash reserves basically haven't moved since 2.1 came online.

In my experiance the 1m ones give you the same boost as 10x100k ones. So yeah whatever, chuggers chuggers everywhere! Donate as I can so I don't have to grind rep at some point when I don't want to lol.

If that's the case I don't see why I should prefer grinding 10 100k donations instead of an easy 1M payment

As a side note though. 1mil now doesn't give you as much rep as 1mil pre 2.1 patch.

Because the devs seem to want to make donation spamming less grindy... but also make people want to do other things instead, hence the number with lots of money needed. So they made them less grindy, but then more grindy at the same time lol. But they people could just take the hint and do other stuff.

I wish we could "spam" donations. Maybe have limitations on how much rep you could get and diminishing returns, but if a player can spend it.... let them spend it. Instead of hoping to find a donation mission like we are currently doing.

...except if the faction doesn't need donations, their rep will increase an exponentially small amount. Effectively wasting their money for nothing.

if a player wants to waste their credits stupidly... let them waste them.

To me it seems like donations are set up to get local rep quick, rather than overall faction power rep.

Depends how rich you are. If you want to rank up then it's worth it. I prefer under 500k personally but it depends.

I was. Believe me it works.
Seriously though, I returned from long range exploration with 45 million, I have switched back to T6 and I'm doing trade and delivery runs now, getting interdicted very rarely. Credits that I earn I often donate to faction-allied corporations, thus slowly gaining next ranks. Still haven't spent a credit from what I earned before.
