So pointing out the errors and bugs is being a Troll. But your consistent worshipping of Fdev is good.. Ok.. At leat I know where you stand/Kneel...

You were being unfair about the planets, though.

allot of miners stopped using this missions long before your post.
previous update made it that no mining missions will spawn when you have the goods in your hold, that killed it.

Yeah I still don't understand the rationale behind that decision. A miner who's collected ores should be able to peddle their cargo to the people who need it, even if they've done the work beforehand. I used to do that a lot, mine first and sell to missions later, and it never felt broken nor OP to me.

Are we sure that is true? If so that is a bit rubbish, I've not noticed that being a thing with other commodity missions.

(I know another potential exploit that involves 3 different types of missions. Going to test it today to see if it is actually that bad)

Pleeeease make similar threads about those, would be hilarious if they have to deactivate more missions types. inconvenient for a while, but might be an eye opener in the long run, who knows.

Its been a while back when this got into the game.. and havent checked since.

not that its a big issue for me, mining is about chilling with mates in space.. not credits per hour.

I probably will once I confirm they are actually viable.

Although I may wait until midnight Friday in england

Ive found an exploit for assassination missions and massacre missions....

Lets remove ALL the missions!

 

[Rittings]

As a miner (primarily)... I'm putting the game on the back burner until this is fixed. No point mining if there's no reward in it... and looks like soon the mission boards will be empty.

Planets look nice

First they nerfed the skimmer massacre missions, and I did not speak out -
Because I did not stack skimmer massacre missions.

Nope, you can get mining missions with sought-after mined materials in your hold just fine.
I've noticed that in one of my favorite mining systems and once I knew what they regularly look for, I mined it beforehand and then completed the missions.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that we will be temporarily removing mining missions from the game, until we're able to implement the next patch and set of hotfixes (I will let you know when the patch is coming as soon as possible).
Thank you for identifying this issue and bringing it to our attention. We have already identified a fix for it, and that will be coming in the next update as mentioned above.

For those interested, the issue is due to the introduction of the new mission reward choices, which is a large scale change that touches on almost all mission templates. Thanks for your patience while these are offline.

But muh 'murshun!

At this rate you guys will be pulling the game while you work on a fix

Omg I just laughed like a braying donky!

Can FD just slow down a bit with removing the exploits? I haven't had chance to exploit one for a while now... It used to be you got at least a week to rinse them, now they get on them too fast after someone posts it to the forums.

Please, FD, slow down fixing these so it is fair to the people who don't have as much time to exploit the game.

Thanks.

 

[Drelthar]

Here's the fix.

Don't have commoddities as mission rewards (who wants them anyway?)

Makes sure those commodities you removed from missions rewards, are obtainable in another way (purchase, salvage, mining)

Problem solved.

I am pretty sure FD will do something horrible to fix this though.

Don't even joke about that!!! [mad]

Really? Did they roll the change back at sometime?

I'd go in game and check it myself, but well, mining missions have been removed, so....

 

[John Xenir]

Last time I checked was before 3.0 rolled out, it was like a month ago.
Haven't checked post-3.0

 

[Pville_Piper]

Why do I always learn about exploits after they shut them down? Jeesh, can't a fellah get a brake... [sulk]

You are the real MVP, Darty.

I have had more fun both in the game and on the forum in the last few days then I have in a long time
