[CMDR Kai Zen]

I'm always amazed with how much material you, Roy, and Arsen come up with (other contributors acknowledged too). You are among a handful of creators whose efforts really set this game apart...
Well done!

Thank you so much, brother. You are too kind!

 

[Gaeraew]

I've been running a few Arque missions. Unfortunately, a lot of them are mining missions and those make my brain sad.

Same thing here. There hasn't been a great number of TDW missions anyway, but at least enough of different types to keep a trickle of INf coming in. And then yesterday they largely became mining missions.

Feels like I'm banging my head against a wall in Arque - dropped another 0.2% today. Maybe time to move over to Phra Lak.

I feel the same. I've been there for days, but no real progress. Charlotte's not cranking out a very good set of missions for us. Mining missions are for materials that you can't get, except by mining. I'm not in my mining ship. I haven't even ducked over to the latest CGs, either.

Come on, Charlotte!

 

[Esteban]

Speaking of missions, and hit jobs specifically, I have a question...

When I accept a hit (assassination), the NPC often reveals itself and/or interdicts me when I get to the system. This is really handy because I don't need to fly the (potentially long) distance to the mission target location.
If I accept one of these hits where I have to 'interact with a datalink' or a 'hub access terminal' to learn the target's location, is this likely to happen? How often do you find that the target's location reveals itself to be in another system?

I have hesitated to accept these missions due to the time-consuming, goose-chase nature that I fear they will entail. Let's face it, a jump to a 2nd system essentially doubles the time to complete a mission, and a planetary approach also adds a significant amount of time to a mission. Normally I wouldn't mind but when you're trying to crank thru as many missions as possible, well, you all know!

Carry cargo & they are much more likely to interdict you ime. No guarantees though

Question: Has anyone noticed whether TDW is in Shindez is still offering the occasional unique-ish mission they are known for? The last few times I've been there I haven't seen any

I have found the the "unique-ish" missions popup after doing a lot of +rep missions for TDW in a short amount of time. I believe @djadjok has done extensive research on this (mainly on the Mysterious Stranger missions). I don't get them much since I tend to do +INF missions way more than +REP mission. I already have Admiral & King ranks and have Allied rank with the factions I like so it's almost always +INF missions for me.

Tip Off are not really "unique-ish" missions. I suppose that commander Gaeraew speaks about special TDW missions that have been disappeared long time ago ~ probably at the same time that Horizons were introduced - but the latter (exact dates) better to check from someone more competent in this domain.

So probably more like the ones dealing with the SAP8 stuff from a while back.

 

[Vetinari]

Its getting harder to keep up isnt it? I had a week checking out LPs I been meaning to chase up and a last minute dash via Lave to the CG. Made it with 6 hrs to go and the Feds closing in fast. Was a race to get into top 75% both sides before it finished but just managed. Now back out to some more LPs, then rush back Its all fun

Same here about reluctant, but you do get some Mats as well from the scans. Anyway, I think there is zero chance of them turning up until you know where they are. then same chance of them popping in to interdict you, which as you point out is very handy. Can often drop into normal space and just wait a minute as well, they often drop in, if you reverse a bit they often pop in in front of you

So to me base missions the annoying 'update, meet a contact instead' take longer for little if any extra reward. Happy to be corrected though.

These are indeed what I was referring to. I wonder if they disappeared at the same time or soon after TDW slipped out of Shindez. If so, it feeds my suspicion the escape broke in-game lore and FDev had to turn it off until they find a solution. It would be difficult for FDev to admit publicly without leaking information.

Boy that's an understatement. At least there's that distinct feeling. I'm glad there are numerous CMDRs contributing!

So to me base missions the annoying 'update, meet a contact instead' take longer for little if any extra reward. Happy to be corrected though.

No question that hits where the 'hey, target isn't in this system, go meet a contact' are another goose-chase that prolongs the mission. I think I enjoyed that little twist about two times when I first began doing hits...

 

[Vetinari]

Boy that's an understatement.

And now The Club the Alliance have set up a CG 300LY away! Will they stop at nothing to try and stop us? At least Lave can have the data, all 23 jumps return journey of it
