Dear Devs,
I try to be constructive and proactive,but after two hours of trying to finish a daily, the positive thing… is getting hard.
Fed Daily - Humanitarian aid. There is really no way to beat this if you are alone…or if there are just two of you for that matter. I just killed no less than 3 predators in my latest attempt at completing this. I have every standard ship in the game and I run them all purple in T5. Too many Hunters/Predators, they respawn too fast and the transport escorts are weak. Can we please get some balance to this mission.
And for those of you who say cancel…I agree. However, the last two times I have canceled this mission guess which mission they gave me? Yep, the exact same one.
Of course it is beatable, but only if there are at least 4 other T5 players there at the same time trying to do the same thing. That means peak hours only.
I expect to be able to do dailies in 10-20 minutes between meetings or during lunch. This one is just out of balance.
Thank you for your feedback.
At least 2 missions are broken - Escort the convoy in Vanguard sector and in Defiled Solaris Wasteland sector - Kill a Predator.
Also, I cancelled a mission too, and sometimes I got the same mission 2 times in a row, like the one in Defiled Solaris Wasteland.
If you plan to keep the difficulty for such missions, I strongly suggest that you increase monocrystals rewards.
Predator in Solaris Wasteland - take a LRF (Jericho preferred) and just fly outside of the usual biomorph routes. From about 6km, launch the torpedo at the target, he will go to your launch site. Turn 90 degrees, full speed, cloak, drift away about 2k. Turn. Predator will stay there for about a minute, giving you plenty of time to kill him.
Escort mission in Vanguard - you need a little luck there, but it’s still doable. Ship: I prefer guard or LRF. Guard’s missile shield takes down predator’s projectile. Basically it is possible to finish this mission without a single shot, but my preferred way is to kill predator if it comes closer than 5k to the target or I see he will interfere. If you kill just predators the way described above, only the biomorphs will be flying the patrol route. Predators respawn only when their whole squad is destroyed, so if you see remaining biomorphs are zeroing on your transport - keep them busy for as long as needed and only then kill them.
It’s a hard mission - but to make it easier you can take a friend with you and then it becomes almost walk in the park. My worst attempt took me 24 minutes and 3 transport respawns to finish.

You forget, that only T5 players can do that. What can some T3 player do, which do not have any access to T4 or even T5? Mauler is clearly T5.
Those players will still get those missions, I heard.
It would be only fair, that you only get specific daily missions, which are based on your ship’s lineup.
Besides, even if you cancel such missions, you may get exactly the same again, which is stupid, thanks to RNG.
You right, that considering those are danger 7 missions, so they should be doable with Rank 7 ships. However I have yet to see T3s doing them successfully. However - once I took wrong ship - Tormentor AE instead of Inquisitor AE and killing this single predator was possible.

You know, what danger sector means? It was supposed to tell you, how dangerous a sector is.
This is no longer the case, since all regular areas, which used to be marked with 10 are 7 now.
Only Neutral and new PVP/PVE maps added have rank 10 now.
I think that danger sector limitation should be removed completely, since it is irrelevant and it only limits access with your ship, since it doesn’t represent the danger factor of enemies anymore.
I agree that these missions are the worst to find in your daily mono list and yes certainly easier to do with a friend.
However for solaris i find that bombing runs with doomsday tackler will do the trick. Also having huge alpha damage weapons with painter active will help. If u know what your getting into then its best to fit the ship for it. In other words lots of EM resists for that mission. Fulla aliens so why pack anything else.
The vanguard transport is the bane of my existence, you can get really unfortunate with respawn times for the preds. Then have to wait for the slow xxxx transport to start making the jouney again. But best practise iv found is to have the preds chase you to the twin turret outposts and let them deal with it. Or in many cases help out the local pirates who are attacking them.
Personally i wouldnt take slower frigs an such to deal with these. As they can take long enough, i want to be mobile to deal with threats and i dont want the travel time added to possible failure and further wait. But more than one way to skin a cat an whatever work best for you. On another note these can be done with a T4 ship just have to be patient and pick your moments to strike.
They can be difficult but if they were all as easy as activating 3 generators one system over then i dont think id feel that i had earned all my monos.
