Still no word on the Aerography contest winners?
Patch is… ok. Will have to wait for server to restart to get the actual reward numbers on Forward Fleets. Or “Rent-a-Ship”, as I like to call it.
We analysed your feedback concerning Forward Fleet and were pleased to find that you loved the concept.
Hah! Most [vocal] people disliked Forward Fleet. I myself, who was a defender of Forward Fleet, feel neutral about the concept. You developers should’ve focused more on dreadnoughts, fixing important bugs, new module ideas, input from the English community and strengthening the actual gameplay of PvP, PvE, and/or Invasion.
PvP needs tier(tech) restrictions allowing you to bring only ships that are only one tier lower than the tier you are currently queuing for! For example, the highest tiered ship in my roster is tier 5. Therefore I am only allowed to bring(or use) tier 4 or 5 ships. This works like the current PvE mechanics. It prevents idiotic players from using low tiered ships who ruin the gaming experience for everyone one their team.
Edit: Invasion could be given a real boost instead of these crappy contests that try to pull people out of PvP and PvE by luring them with GS prizes. Instead give Invasion a gameplay and lore boost. Have monocrystal mission occasionally send pilots out to other Factions’ sectors and destroy some government ships or buildings. These types of missions would be available to negative karma pilots making karma more useful.
Well, i for one liked the concept of the forward fleet assignments but felt the rewards were just not worth the time preparing a fleet for. The requirements were also way too high. Hopefully this patch makes it worthwhile.
There should be similar missions given by each factions as well, giving us faction rewards instead.
i like forward fleet as well.
my wish list of tweaks to it or the game in general -
make mining and crafting a little bit more abundant
pink crystals are so difficult to find and rare i’ve only been able to ever craft twice using them.
these fowardfleet missions need pink crystals in the rewards more!!!

They could fix it easily if mining rocks would always give minerals; right now they can give us the same thing as debris (random things including cash).
Maintenance and twitching patch. It is OK.
Will the currently “on assignment” missions be upgraded to the new success chances + rewards? I have like 10 missions currently ongoing, and that is around 60 ships.
Okay! Servers are back up!
The tweaks to Frontier make it better, but I still feel like the underlying issue remains un-addressed.
So, let’s break it down:
Pros
- Highlighting recommended ships is a good idea.
- All missions now have a chance to give materials, which is good.
Cons
- Mission duration for “unknown” employer remains ludicrous - 5-6 days at a time for about the same reward as the 1-2 day contracts!
- Mission requirements remain far too high in short-duration missions. Sending 4 green T5 ships to a “rank 10” frontier mission still only gave me low chance of success!
I think this remains plagued by a lack of focus. It’s not clear who this is for, or what it seeks to achieve within the wider scope of the game. It reminds me of Sector Conquest at launch, where the Devs revealed that “endgame” begins at Rank 5. There’s a good idea here, but it really needs the Dev Team to actually start talking to people about what it’s supposed to do, and then for them to listen to our feedback on how to do it.
I think Forward Fleet should always award Faction reputation (the faction that hired your ships for patrol etc) in addition to the other rewards.
In addition it should have very small chance to award blueprints (VERY small chance) in addition to normal loot and/or credits

Forward fleet assignments are private contracts, factions have nothing to do here.
Also, missions that launched before the patch appear to have been updated to give the new rewards.

I have several contracts from House Liu, who are a major player in Jericho. It makes sense that they could call in favours from Raid or Techs. I’m guessing there’s a similar setup for Empire and Federation.

Not really, the only big family in the Jerry sector is the Mendes family. All the others are just small attachments or entrepreneurs.
For the other factions you have Blackwood corporation, Zeus laboratories, “something” mining corporation etc etc…
House Liu was responsible for several of the Jericho ships. Blackwood has some crazy AI that must surely give them clout, and if I recall correctly Zeus were involved in developing either the Octopus or the Mjolnir. You can’t tell me these people can’t acquire some loyalty vouchers for the players.

The missions are for their own benefit, not for the faction benefits. Remember that the subfactions are just that, subfactions inside the bigger factions. That doesn’t mean all people in empire are either legion or wardens. In fact very few of them are.
You should only get faction points when working for them.
In fact, the main factions reward you in credits, which is the common reward all around. Synergy is not rewarded by anyone, is your own experience flying different ship models.
“Hmm, people are using Forward Fleet. They must love it!”
Is this their thought process?..
Overall, terrible patch. Nothing new, there. Call me next month, when the next patch is out.

Pretty sure most people liked the concept itself. People were just complaining about reward and rates.

Its not like you will be here tomorrow whining about everything.
And if you think that because four obnoxious “forum warriors” complaining about foward fleets being xxxx will mean that the rest of the world thinks the same you’re horribly mistaken.
I was told there would be an ECM nerf…
The rest of the patch is nice, but not interesting.
Drone poopers and ECM spams remained the same.

hold on there warrior of the new defense;
with a backstory supposedly covering many hundred years, this sentence sounds sheerly unbelievable. And unimaginative. But thats not the only problem.
It’s “defense for the sake of defense”, an argument pulled out of a hat.
backstories are defined to enhance the game by providing setting, explain various stuff, and similar, not the other way round. if missions would serve as a source for loyalty, so be it; the background can be enhanced and unveiled accordingly, including more detailed views into social and political structures, or similar, like historical events, which would follow to explain changes, but never should the background influence and regulate the game in such a way.
alas, i think the new rewards are much better, lets see how they go; such a feature seems to need a couple of days to be properly reviewed anyway.
