Hey,
this is a remark/question about the open space mission in general. More recently about those you need to do to get the live virus container (atm the mission in wich you need to escort a transport ship). I ll directly make my point. They are stupid, uninspired, boring, unfullfilling, feels like a job, a drag,…
At least try to make some interesting mission if you want to make ik the only way to get live virus container. This is the kind of mission my 3 year old nephew could come up with. It’s an insult to our intelect. I hope you ll take this in consideration and make some changes. I dont even do them anymore, it is just a waste of time.
Greetings,
Erador

All escort missions are xxxx. That’s just part of it.
If the reward was anything but alien stuff I’d disregard it.
The transport must be not only escorted. Erador, you should learn to read the whole orders of the mission. You also should be taking the invisibility and bonus for primary weapon to clear the path of the transport. Otherwise, the transport gets killed.

a) It s a pilot question so it is the right section. If you cant see it. Here is the question; Why are the missions so boring?
b) Pay me to do the devs job and i ll do suggestions. This is not the suggestion toppic, if I want to do a suggestion i will do it in that topic.
c) So? what does this even have to do with my post
e) their exist also fun ways without repeating the standard scripted ‘escort the transport’
f) Why do you even bother to reply? Trolling not neccesary, your post is useless and only full of criticism. Dont bother posting again.
g) the arrogance in your post is despicable

That is exactly my point, why not make it less repulsive to play. Especialy since it’s the only way to get those rewards

OMG that makes it so much more interesting… (irony)
Please read the title and the post before comenting please… This is not about a particular mission but about the missions in general.
I m pretty sure I didnt ask how to finish that mission.
I actually fully agree with Erador. I only do them, because of my own progress, but not because I like them.
We got only 3 kinds of objective. Scan, Escort, Destroy.
Whole missions behind Open Space have been put together without any deep consideration or thought.
Developers are claiming that “Full Open Space rework” will commence or released soon.
Of course, details about their plans are secret and not open for public discussion.

Nope. I don’t read any question.
I only read Q.Q

+1. escort missions are boring, when i get them as OS daily i cancel.
it was nice to see that there is an elidium transport traveling but flying near that piece of junk is boring… you can charge at all enemies around it - eventually its your luck
Quote devs: “Open Space overhaul coming soontm”
But the easiest way to get it done is to bring a recon and warp to the other gate once someone else is about to complete the mission. At least that’s that lazy way. I usually sit on a Xar aura and keep the buff refreshed until my MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE SENSORS detect an alien getting close to it. I just swoop in and poof it before it gets too close.

Any ideas? if your 3 year old nephew can came up with this, im pretty sure you must have plenty of brilliant ideas far superior from the ones in game.
I enjoy open space missions even if they are repetitive, some variety (new missions) would be nice 'though.

Papitas is right on the money, the problem is that our friend Erador doesn’t wanna share any ideas for free

I have given loads of ideas for exciting open space missions/modifications in the past, for free. Check this thread out for example:

[This](< base_url >/index.php?/topic/26501-fort-vida-elite-pilot-station/&do=findComment&comment=367996)comment should give you an idea about the devs’ plans

this mission is the same since open space came out many years ago. I dont know how many people have been working on it for the past years but seeing it is exactly the same you dont have to be a genius to see the amount of work they put in their missions… Again this is not the suggestion topic, That topic is already overflowing with ideas. You guys set the bar for the devs very low indeed. I ve played those stupid missions countless time for the monocrystal rewards. Now it s just the same missions for yet another reward? come on! How can you guys be ok with this? How long did you even play this game?

I can give suggestions if the devs ask me. I dont believe however they read suggestions. Koromac has posted many good suggestions in the past years and they still havent implemented one of them. That is why i m not going to spend time on it unless i m sure it is actualy read. Certainly not when people on the dev team are getting payed to invent those missions but apparently are not prepared to put any effort in them.

Im not denying your point at all, the missions arent creative (although blasting the defiler with the bonuses was quite nice), but you have to consider that devs arent a big group and have low time to deliver updates through the event: while they work on each phase their job is to ensure the new items are balanced and work properly (stats and graphics (leviathan station required a decent job there), sound has been left behind), deliver a nice story that makes sense with the game and missions (if you read the mission descriptions), while also working on the bigger content like the new faction, R14 destroyers and whatever else they have in mind (probably not gonna be OS rework this time). All of that takes a lot of time and effort to be done properly (weve seen how hard the comunity can react when they dont like something). Added to that, devs have a long list of things to do, so dont expect things to get implemented soon at least from suggestions. About Koromac suggestions…i find that most of them are kinda okeish, but lack relevance…a lot. Devs dont lack ideas, so dont expect them to be behind you  Also dont spam suggestions like Koromac and TheDarkRedFox…its exhausting, just make it brief and consistant while its relevant.
I m dying to see that new OS rework Cinnamon mentioned in his posts.

It’s coming but not soon) The current OS will be improved in time as well. Fro example I remember the suggestion about OS missions, the one about finding enemy ship in cloack mode in one sector sound realy interesting. Desingners liked it a lot ”)
