Surprise! For the thousandth time, "rare" mission rewards are borked

Not including any Thargoid or Guardian artifacts or data, which may have uses other than engineering, these are the components that have no blueprints as per Inara:

Basic Conductors
Chemical Storage Units
Compact Composites
Crystal Shards
Filament Composites
Heat Resistant Ceramics
Tempered Alloys

Of course there may be many that are personally useless to you. For example, if you are unlikely ever to need an engineered Long Range Frame Shift Interdictor, then Anomalous FSD Telemetry can be dropped as that is it's only blueprint.

Awesome! Thank you. It's always a bit of a git knowing what to keep and what not to.
 
For those using EDEngineer, when you add a blueprint to your favorites it also add corresponding materials to your favorites list, useful to quickly see what you need / what you can dump.

For getting rep again after asking for favors, lightweight blueprints work prettyl well, i advice to favorite them too.

Hi all,

Yes, this is bugged again.

I know what is wrong and am working to get it back to working condition as soon as possible.

As a bonus, I'll see to getting Basic Conductors, Crystal Shards, Tempered Alloys, Heat Resistant Ceramics, and Unidentified Scan Archives removed from the reward choices (these are no longer used in any recipes and I already have clearance to remove them).

I'll also ask about making MEF a mission reward (I don't think it will be a problem, but haven't got clearance yet so no guarantees).

Thanks,
Dom

Amazing, thank you very much :)

For God sake Dom, get rid of this rng for mission rewards and you will solve all issues. Fix EFC with assassination missions, CIF with delivery missions etc. What we have now is farming spots with spam of courier missions where everyone is digging crafting materials and data by switching game modes. Let us to have a way to gather materials with some kind of predictability instead of present rng.
 
Hi Dom!

Can you please get pre-2.3 monetary rewards back? I'm talking about stuff like 2M Elite-ranked assassinations, or 3-4M for large (200T+) deliveries. Nowadays, it's extremely hard to find a good mission - you can consider yourself extremely lucky if you've got 1M delivery, or 700K assassination. And I'm talking about Deadly-Elite-Elite CMDR, not a newbie...
 
Thanks Dom! Those useless mats/data have been an annoyance.
Can you do these changes server side or will we have to wait for a point update?

Awesome to know that it's already being worked on. Will there be an announcement when it's fixed? (assuming it can be addressed with a silent server-side update, that is)
 
Hopefully you get the ok to add the MEF as a mission reward, having only one crazy way to get these really sucks.
 
Only place I've ever found Biotech Conductors have been USS in Outbreak systems. Still have 4 of them of the 12 I picked up first time I looked for them.
I only need my drive so Dirty after all....

Biotech conductors can only be found as mission rewards, although I'd be quite happy if they could be found in signal sources. You may be referring to pharmaceutical isolators, which are indeed components for G5 dirty drives. :)

I agree with this. I quit doing missions for money. Bounty hunting and Wars is the only efficient way to make money these days.

And risking a 3million+ rebuy on a 750k wetwork mission? Wetwork and assassination missions aren't the same level of difficulty. Wetwork should pay way more, especially if it is a political hit. You get a bounty on top of that too.

We also need the ability to accept missions even if we have no cargo racks (obviously unless it's a cargo mission) I'm tired of seeing a desirable combat mission and it has cargo rewards, then I go to outfitting, equip a rack, return to the mission board and that mission is now no where to be found!

Something else that I'd like to see in the future, when you accept a delivery mission, an NPC asks you for a ride to the same station. "Hey CMDR, heard you were going to XXXX, mind if I tag along for X amount of credits." Maybe he's wanted and now you have someone else coming after you.

Missions are super bland right now. Follow-on missions are a step in the right direction... but they really should be something like loop-on missions, where it goes back to the same station that you just came from.

Anyways... I have tons of ideas for improvements...
 
This is nothing wrong with CIF drops people... you are just doing it wrong.

Here is proof, 1 day of work.

This is sad, I really hope (but hardly believe) this is the last time we see this, I don't understand how a problem like this can come up every patch again and again and again...

It's just one of many repeat issues. Are they using the wrong code save each time?

Did you get any CIF as a mission reward? The main issue is that rare mission rewards is broken. Not a problem with CIF since base assault is the best way to get it but huge problem with regard to EFC and Biotech Conductors, which are only available as mission rewards, when the system is functioning.
