4.85 Random Mission feedback - hribek - 04-16-2010

I'm starting this thread to get some feedback on current mission toughness in various areas, difficulty ranges and for/against different factions. The data gathered can help us improve the current mission system.

This is what a feedback post shouldn't look like, because it is too brief:
Quote:[20:49:57] XY: Just did a 25min Hogosha mission
[20:50:04] XY: Lagging GC starfleas are a pain to hit

What a mission feedback post should contain is summed up in the following template.

Code:
[list=1]
[*][b]offering faction:[/b]
[*][b]opposing faction:[/b]
[*][b]payout:[/b]
[*][b]system, sector:[/b]
[*][b]difficulty level:[/b]
[*][b]your ship(s) used:[/b]
[*][b]time taken (minutes):[/b]

4.85 Random Mission feedback - Jinx - 04-16-2010


  1. offering faction: BHG

  2. opposing faction: Order

  3. payout: 660.000

  4. system, sector: Omicron Delta, near the zoner Satelite

  5. difficulty level: 39

  6. your ship(s) used: BHG Manta

  7. time taken (minutes): 23 minutes

  8. detailed description:
BHG missions given at fp11 are "easy" cause they never involve capital warships ( unless you fly vs. the corsairs, in which case - they most likely involve warships ) - the nephtys is a rather large and slow fighter when piloted by the AI - so its easy to hit, - also the AI doesn t really do much damage with order weapons ( as opposed to like titans or nomads )

missions go up to 700.000 here - but its of course still not "worth the time". sometimes though, when you just need to kill one person and he appears in the first wave - the mission can be over in a few minutes. - however - all in all, doing missions for money isn t worth the time, - and only really worth the money when you fly at least a gunboat, cause fighters almost always take damage - which subtracts from the payout.


4.85 Random Mission feedback - schlurbi - 04-16-2010


  1. offering faction: Outcasts
  2. opposing faction: Gas Miners Guild
  3. payout: ~650k Credits
  4. system, sector: Omicron Beta, about 15k away from the Station, up to 30k
  5. difficulty level: Don't remember
  6. your ship(s) used: Blossom
  7. time taken (minutes): 20 - 25 Minutes
  8. detailed description:
The Gas Miners Guild doesn't have Capital Ships. So there aren't any in the Missions as well. Fighting against Eagles is easy. You don't take much damage from the NPCs, but the Radiation is nagging on your Hull. You will definitely get damaged. Bill is higher than usual, because your Guns also get damaged.

So it's not really worth the Time and Money to make Missions in Beta. You can easily get a random Battleship sitting in Front of Malta and ask it to make Missions with you in Eta or Alpha, which can even give you more than twice the Credits you get in Eta or Alpha.
