Diplomatic Missions... are they in the game?

[Erei]

I think the "negotiation" for mission is what is/was considered "diplomacy". We never had any word about it.
Oh and I assume the "trading mission" are the one that ask you to fetch/give something from/to a NPC.

Any news on the diplomacy missions yet?

Isn't that the forum ? Each thread is a fully procedurally generated unique mission, player driven gameplay, smooth on any rigs, almost no bugs,... that's not the masterpiece of FDev ??

It's a sandbox, use your imagination !

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say 'No'.
I'm vainly hoping the new mission type mentioned in the 'roadmap' will be diplomacy, but I'm expecting another flavor of FPS.

Yup. Although fair play to them during the stream, someone called out the fact that most missions involved violence of some sort, and when would we see different types of missions, and both of them agreed they were needed and would relay it back.

Ironically, it's because of PEGI's restrictions that we have for only option to kill and cannot simply stun (well... yes stun is also a sort of violence).

I know. Which... I'm still not able to work out. (When you zap someone, they even have the little "stars" icon when you hover over them so I just tell myself they're having a little sleep...)

So, we're gonna get on foot donation missions then

But are these missions in the game at all?

Define.... diplomacy.

 

[Ingram]

It's already there. Emote to everyone in the settlement then you complete a diplomacy mission.

 

[VR SenseiMatty]

Define.... diplomacy.

Yeah I would like fdev to define it because it's a bit too vague but during beta I've seen nothing else but shooting and killing people

Diplomacy with light sabers

Gunboat diplomacy is still diplomacy

You can get more with a kind word and a gun, than you can with a kind word alone
