missions

I'll start by saying I'm a huge Elite and FDev fan. That said, I believe some thought needs to be put into cargo mission payouts for those of us with large ships. For example, why is it so hard to find missions that pay 100 times more than the beginner missions, when I have worked my way up to...

To the game designers at FDev: After the disabling of the passenger distance multiplier and skimmer mission, the community has been kind of...how do you say... annoyed? I feel like a lot of the vitriol can be quelled (at least slightly) by a little bit more clarity in a few aspects of your...

We keep having issues about the rush to make money fast. Well, what about having a feature where random locations have a sort of gold rush style missions appear for short amount of time then disappear to somewhere else every few weeks. Similar to the skimmer missions that appeared.

Just tossing out some suggestions to revamp payouts and add depth to different career pathways. Trade Bonuses Consistent, quick deliveries yields a small bonus for reliability, potential for scaling based on local rep and level of danger. A players "reliability" could be tracked on the...

Hey guys anyone else struggling to accept missions getting messages saying server list expired in I right in thinking that Fdev are doing a live patch of skimmer missions

Please remove wing missions from the mission boards when in solo play. For two very important reasons. 1) Its solo play! 2) You replaced a big part of the reputation building missions and solo missions with wing missions. Now trying to build rep is even more of a grind than it already was...

Hi, It would be nice if the information about additional rewards would be included into MissionCompleted event. Since missions could be rewarded by additional influence, it might be connected to BGS but we have no info about it in journal logfile. Also, is it possible to add an information...

The missions pay little and when they pay a lot of example missions of 22 million and need to jump 22,000 light years, practically 1 million a light year, this is ridiculous, not to mention the extremely expensive items to buy for the ships in the stations and how to buy if the game does not...

Hello cmdr's Im having an issue with "wing missions".. There is too many on my mission screen, even if im not in a wing or in solo mode, theres more wing missions than regular missions. Can this be turned off or is this how the game is now. Its slowing progress and irrelevant if im in solo.

Umm... What's happened to the solo assassination missions?? Suddenly wings have come along and they've all gone. Every assassination mission is now a wing mission and impossible to do if you're solo. If you do find a solo bit of wet work, it now pays nothing... It used to pay multiple million...

This is my first post on the forums so if this is in the wrong area i'm sorry, please tell me off! I'm not sure if this is meant to have happened or a bug. Last night me and a wing of four other commanders were trying out the wing missions, it was going well, ish... Until one of our commanders...

In the new system in 3.0 where you can choose your reward from a mission you cannot take the commodity reward if you do not have the space to take it It would be a very nice QoL addition to give the option of taking a partial reward even if it didn't increase the other parts of the mission...

I've been playing for 170 hours right now in Elite Dangerous. I've got even an Anaconda ship (and many others). The problem is that my Federation Rank (which I'm allied with top reputation) is Still at NONE at 100% and I've never seen any mission about promotion. I'm "living" in BEETRIX start...

From what I've read, aside from the occasional assassination mission, there isn't much point the Checkpoints that form between various warring factions. I had a thought, to make them more relevant what if checkpoints were changed to function as blockades? The blockade sites would feature...

Since Multicrew is a preferred mode of play for many Commanders and the availability of multiple SRV's in the ships, I would like to suggest the addition of multi-crew use of SRV modules of 2 or more, ( I think the max is 4 SRV's),. Imagine 4 SRV's against 4 in rough terrain battles, or, 2...

I think it would be very helpful to have a mission filter that showed only missions that share the same destination as missions you have already accepted. For example, say I have a mission to deliver goods to M.GORBACHEV in the Sol system, with this new filter selected from the drop down menu...

The beta forum is full of long threads about engineers. Too grindy, not grindy, balanced, out of balance... chieftain blah blah.. Are we not missing the point. An engineer grind with a different face on it or a material trader with different conversion rates doesn't entice me or the people I...

Please FDev, can we have a legitimate gameplay mechanic to free Slaves? Something like the Search and Rescue feature would do for now, at the very least, or faction-specific missions to free ‘X’ amount of Slaves. Something tied into faction rep and the BGS would be ideal, IMO. I remember, very...

My first introduction to smuggling in Elite Dangerous was the Robigo Mines slave runs. At the time I was using my cobra mkiii to ship 24T of slaves back to the bubble as fast as possible while avoiding NPCs at almost every star and speeding away as fast as an unmodified cobra mkiii could when I...

Hi devs & store team Regarding the suggestion of the legendary Frontier support I'm writing you here in the official forums about my issue. My inquiry is quite simple. I bougth a lot of skins because I'm one of these crazy people who love not only the game but also loves customizing it and...

Afternoon Developers and Commanders! I was spending some time this morning staring at the mission boards, and I got to thinking about how many "exploits" have been created utilizing mode-switching to stack missions. We've recently seen its effects with the passenger missions, but between the...

I had 2 mission destinations at one station. One was to deliver 4 silver (4 is my max cargo), one was a data delivery. Silver reward was credits, data delivery was 3 cargo items. (commodities) When I arrived I could only accept the data delivery claim reward, which rewarded me 3 cargo items...

Hi everyone. I am wondering 'how' to 'meet' the fake/game guy that I am supposed to meet in a mission. It says something like ... go to "X" and meet Joe to get some data from him. I have gone to that system, flown around and seen him say to follow his wake but I never seem to find him. Once I...

We have this issue quite often. Commanders finds System X that generates some edge case of mission types that by happenstance give everyone doing them a whole bunch of money. They use it for a long while, and the word begins to spread and everyone jumps in. Few months later, it gets manually...

Anyone else only getting "incomplete" mission boards loaded since today's "emergency maintenance"... So, since that extra 10 minutes of emergency maintenance, shortly after the regular maintenance, I have been unable to get the mission board to load without this message: MISSION RETRIEVAL...

I saw what was said about wing missions, but I don't like the idea that I could incur fines because mission leader is being a jerk and turning in the mission while people have cargo checked out. I would suggest that on the submission of a wing mission any players in the wing with checked out...

One of the side effects of the algorithm for rewarding passenger missions based upon the arrival point distance was that it killed off the commodities trade for many commanders. Thus, imho, when the algorithm returns it needs to apply to prices on the Commodities Market as well. CMDR Justinian...

Please don't nerf the credit payout. This is a way to make real money in-game. I enjoy these missions and so do a lot of other commanders. Making a high yield of credits in game just helps us enjoy the game. We get to buy the ship we want or outfit a certain ship without having to spend 100's...

I just watched both casts of upcoming "Beyond" expansion and have question about law and punishment. It seems to be somewhat broken right now for the "planetary scan" missions where you have to download data from beacon. I haven't been doing anything illegal, many of these missions are...

so, you've docked at a station using the anonymous protocols, because the controlling faction has an issue with you.... If you're known to frequent the back alleys (either because you're known to the shady factions, or because you're notorious enough so your reputation precedes you), I believe...

As chained missions go, they are not what i think they should be, one destination should lead to the next and the next - for a total of 5 - using the various types of missions already included in the game - example, a planetary base scan gives you part 2 of the mission, which then leads to part...

Would this be a 2018 fix with regards the passenger missions: Issue:... Able to choose passenger missions "WITHOUT" cargo, so we don't have to have a cargo bay at all, we can opt out of the cargo if we want to, this would make the delivery system of dropping off passengers quicker instead...

So we've probably all seen the chain missions pop up from time to time. Youve completed your kill 6 pirates and a mission critical message pops saying theres a mission to go kill the pirate lord. The same thing sometimes happens when you donate money to a minor faction and i kind of like the...

I was thinking the other day that it would be pretty cool if you could fly to a station, and purchase parts for other ships. Then pay to have the parts transported to another station. This would be easier and more realistic then current settings. Another idea is to have it to where if I want to...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm new and this forum is massive, information overload. I understand that you can upgrade your fsd in space stations but it doesn't seem like it does a whole bunch to improve your range. I may just not be seeing the higher level equipment. As far as I...

I have visited Copernicus twice now 24 hours apart - each time it has had no passengers - try later. Is it the same for everyone? Or am I unlucky or doing something wrong?

Hi frontier, My suggestion is to rework which missions are RNGed to have Eliminate Enemies feature. There's nothing more annoying than 3 interdictions in a row when hauling tourists. Maybe create some kind of an additional reward for those missions. I see no logic behind having 150 passengers...

TL;DR: Combat seems to not earn enough compared with other activities (listed below). Is there a way of making it more profitable? Hi everyone, Are combat missions, bounty hunting and combat bonds really underpaying right now? Around a week ago, my experience with ED was mostly combat oriented...

Has anyone else had their Federation rep decay faster than they can run missions? I ran 12 missions today for Federation factions and my Fed Rep went from 83% to 82%, over approximately 1hr of play today. The same happened yesterday, 20 missions over 2hrs of play = 84% to 83% rep. Anyone else...

I accept that some time spent running missions that do little to support pilots' individual Mitty-esque narratives is a necessary evil for rank progression. But some minimization of mission board annoyance might go a long way for some of us. As it stands now, you can't accept a mission board...
