[Suggestion] Deep Vein: Extraction - Reward Nerf
This will likely not be a popular suggestion with the community at large, however this mission is spammed by a lot of people and it isn't fun gameplay (run avoiding threats, mine a couple nodes, get out, repeat).
You don't need to nerf the exotic reward and that is likely the main reason people are chain running this mission in the first place. However, I would recommend nerfing the Rocketbucks reward for the mission itself to a level more in line with the the low rewards of some of the bio-research missions. Lowering the currency reward for the mission to a more reasonable level like 50 won't discourage people from using the mission to chain farm exotics, however, may cause them to consider other missions for more balanced rewards such as the hard/hardcore variants of missions.
It's just frustrating when the only thing you see people forming groups for is the same mission all the time, and a mission that doesn't really involve much gameplay at that.

SeawolfThis game is not competitive, so there's no reason to nerf things that people repeat in order to buy space gear. They put in the minutes/hours to farm it up, why punish them? Also, if someone were to do this mission the "slow" way, nerfing the reward would make it feel really difficult for very little reward.

QuinafoiThe fundamental problem with the mission is this.
In the Icarus official discord, I can find periods of time where there will be 4 separate groups forming for this mission for every 1 group forming for a different missions.
It's not really a problem with the mission itself, but rather the gaming community. It's fine for people to farm a single mission repeatedly, that is a perfectly acceptable way to play the game. However, it's not healthy for the community as a whole. Repetitive tasks will burn people out faster. Variety is healthy for the community as a whole. I'm not trying to discourage people from using the mission to farm exotics, which is the main reason people run it. I'm trying to encourage them to look at the alternatives and spread out. I'm just proposing the most direct approach which would be nerf one of the rewards for this mission, instead of the more difficult alternative of buffing every other mission. I'm just trying to promote a healthy community.
