Claiming Missions

[juddadredd]

Ok another one that's annoying the monkey out of me.

On docking at a station I would dearly like to have an option for Claiming ALL mission rewards on the Main Station Menu.

I've lost count of the number of bonuses that I've lost because of the menu, enter faction, pick mission, claim it, hit back Repeat !
Do that when you have 20 missions all at the same station, it's a crazy stupid waste of game time !

Also when I select the option for not having the waste of time animated menus, lets turn off all the crap not just a bit of it.

I would like the board to pop up, to not be animated, to not try to be cleaver, just up, display what I need with no fuss and close.

Case in point:
Select a Mission Claim it, why the hell does it try to be clever and do lots of drawing and paying of sounds whilst displaying the info ?

Hello, JuddaDredd.

I'm not sure that claiming all of them in one go is likely to happen. Past experience with handing in exploration data suggests there might be server issues with doing too many at once - and also that it might take an inordinate amount of time.

A limited form - roughly equivalent to the 'Sell Page' option - might be more viable: perhaps we can just hand in missions for one faction at a time, or something of the sort. It seems practical enough, particularly if we get a combined report showing the various rewards and faction changes in one go, rather than ploughing through potentially dozens of these routine and unremarkable things.

I wasn't going to say anything, but yes. I like the menu animations - they're very nicely done, if a little gameish - but I'd definitely prefer to be able to turn them off. On my decrepit system, the slowdown in stations can sometimes be fairly extreme, particularly at the end of longer play-sessions, when my machine's usually been on a bit too long and needs rebooting. I experience delays of anything up to half a minute for each and every mission I hand in, while it cycles through each of those unimportant reports. I'd much rather not be staring at unnecessary animations for ten minutes at a time, if it's at all possible.

I agree, I've even been caught out once or twice LEAVING the station only to realise I still had another reward to claim.

Except for your comment on the animations, I like them :3

Forgot to ask - does the new update warn you if you try to cash in a mission that has mets for a reward IF they are already maxed out ?
I tend to have at least 50 free so it will take me some time to find out !
