Beyond: Wing Missions and the BGS. How will they work?

[Misaniovent]

Can we get some clarification on how wing missions will impact the BGS?


From this thread:


"Is the influence reward per commander or a fixed amount that is shared between commanders?"


The influence reward is only available to the owner of the mission due to BGS.

Elsewhere from Adam:

...the mission choices system will always offer credit heavy packages and then picks randomly from materials, commodities, reputation boosts and influence boosts. A quick note on influence boost rewards and wing missions, due to the nature of this reward and the impact on the BGS only the mission owner will be offered this reward type. All players will receive baseline influence increases, but only the owner of the mission can get the increased boosted amount.

After re-reading this several times, it seems that Adam is saying that all CMDRs participating in a wing mission will impact the local BGS by completing and receiving credit for a mission, and that the owner of the mission will have the option of receiving a boosted influence reward. Is this correct?

Or does the influence impact come solely from the owner of the mission?

Additionally:

Multicrew and wing missions? If I complete a wing mission with crewmembers, will they have an influence impact? My understanding is that currently, crew members cannot impact the BGS unless participating in murder. Will this change?

It would be good to get this clarified. My "bet" is that a wing mission completed by 4 commanders will have the same impact on the BGS as if all 4 completed a mission of the same initial type singly.

The intriguing variable is the opportunity for the mission leader to barter for influence.

Thanks. Still some remaining questions and I think this is such an important feature that it is better than we know exactly how it works so we can ensure it is successful. I'm not interested in pretending to have an impact on the BGS.

Hi there,

Yes.

Non-mission-owners will get all the same choices as the mission owner excepting the boosted influence option if one was generated.

Generally all mission choices will come with reputation and influence components which are generated at a baseline and then the boosted version gives extra on top.

Thanks,
Dom

Thanks for the clarification Dom.

However I'm curious, will a wing mission composed of 4 players that accepted it have less, equal or more influence rewards on the BGS/Minor Faction than 4 induvidual commanders doing 4 seperate solo missions?

Thank you. Any word on multicrew and wing missions?
