There’s also the fact one thing is Normal and another entirely is Veteran, which seems to have a number of balancing issues with challenge progression, and there’s a marked difference between the early game and the mid-late game.
I wouldn’t know about that, I play on Expert now in the mid-game. Balance from early to mid-game seems fine on expert, been hitting almost exclusively bandit raider/marksmen contracts as much as possible since they give the best loot. I haven’t hit late game crisis yet though so I don’t know about that either.
