Mission scenarios were a nice little edition and I hope to see a lot more, but they are bugged n broken and have been for a while.
Top top game play when they work especially in a wing but despite bug reporting many times and opening a ticket they appear not to be fixed. Simply put the victory influence doesn't get rewarded to the right faction and half the time the factions that are meant to be attacking or defending according to the STATUS panel don't spawn.
I support two minor factions one of which is in my home system. I try often to build influence and effect the background sim working for my faction. There was recently a civil war so I thought great I'd go and do a scenario. My faction has to DEFEND an installation according to the STATUS panel and the opposing one we are at war at obviously ATTACK it.
So I supercruise out and I drop into the installation, I do the standard scan wait around for 2-3 minutes. Suddenly enemies appear and I get the options to ATTACK OR DEFEND as per scenario starting conditions.... however it's the wrong factions listed. Instead of my faction and the one we're at war at it's two other factions in the same. Odd so I check the ownership on the STATUS panel and my faction is defo listed to DEFEND it.
Anyway what the hell I'm here I'm game lets do this anyway and see what happens. So even though the two factions listed in the choices bit aren't my faction I see that my faction is spawning ships to DEFEND... ok lets do it anyway might still work.
I win the scenario woop we defeat the attackers who are actually not the guys we're at war at and the reputation/influence gain is awarded to a faction that's not even part of the scenario. Basically in this ATTACK/DEFEND scenario we now have 4 different factions have appear either as physical ships or as an option to play for but a 5th has the rewards.
This has literally been the case on and off since scenarios were released. Please please please Frontier get this fixed! It's a nice addition to the game and something I really want to play. I have literally tried this again tonight and had similar results.
