I am sorry, but for a player like me, this sounds like a really bad joke, coming from the 1st of April. April’s fools day!
I gain nothing and I have everything.
Give me something, what I do not have, like those 2 missing blueprints in my workshop.
I am sitting on 670000000 credits and I got over 36000 artifacts and almost 1500 monocrystals, not to mention almost maxed vouchers, almost full cargo space (warehouse needs more space), etc.
A lot of unused mark IV upgrade kits from T3 - T5 is in my armory.
Of course, I can only sell them, which would be extremely stupid, but I would get far more from selling one T3 mark IV item or kit in credits, than I would get for sending my fully snyergised T3-5 mark IV equipped ships, on a mission for 7 days!
The best option is to salvage T5 mark IV upgrade kits and you can clearly get the most resources from one salvaged kit, than the promised reward by literally almost one hundred times, so to speak, but you even get way more “common” items, than “uncommon” or "unique.
50000 credits and some random “common” loot, which I can just buy/upgrade/salvage in a minute, if not less, from mark II and mark IV upgrade kits, I receive in PVP/PVE and it’s not even “comparable” to rewards faction is willing to pay me.
I can get 1M or 375000 (light cell or thermal cooling unit) very quickly. Usually around 3-5 minutes in Invasion with my spatial scanner.
I can get around 700000 for T5 PVE daily mission and a purple loot in 10-15 minutes.
Why would I want to receive 10000 times less income and wait for a period of 7 days, if I wish this mission to be completed?
To be frank, what I want from those missions is:
-
free synergy packages of multiple categories (minimum of 50000 to max 500000 free synergy)
-
loyalty vouchers rewards (minimum 25000 - maximum 250000, depends on the faction mission)
-
already crafted/made tier 3 - tier 5 mark IV - V weapons
-
tier 5 mark V unobtainable blueprints you need (you can select which ones)
-
an option to obtain a free spatial scanner from tier 3 - tier 5, depending on the risk of the mission
-
free crew slot as a reward
-
monocrystal blueprint - WHERE IS IT? I can’t find it! Patch 1.06 said it was “fixed”. How?
-
tier 3 - tier 5 Targetting Coprocessor blueprint - Where is it? I cant find it!
-
GS currency (50 minimal - 500 maximum)
And the consequences, if you fail the mission, of course.
In my opinion, well prepared ships should never fail the mission, no scripted fails, unless, if you were sloppy and you did not reach certain % for success of the mission.
100% should always be reachable, but with a fully equipped ship and mark IV items.
If that would not be possible, you could always get a distress call, then you would send another patrol to prevent the failure or at least keep a portion of resources.
This system could have been like 20 times better.
Good news is: IT CAN BE. The other question is: WILL IT BE?
We can suggest, but only, if you will listen and implement a vastly improved system, which corresponds with what we would really like, then you will show us, that YOU CARE.
Sounds like a fairy tale now?
Let’s wait and see.
P.S.:
This very simple interface reminds me of Assassin’s Creed much better interface, where you could send your fellow Assassins to stop the Templars, to get certain rewards or even unlockables.
If you failed, there were consequences.
Sincerely, Koromac
