Holy Conflict Zones...

[Night Hawk]

....and just image if every now and then a mission asked you to go to a combat zone and take out a specific ship there? So you'd need to locate it (in the pack), pick your moment, and then destroy it etc. A very high spec ship may even require you to wing up to be sure?

There's so many ways more interesting missions with more depth and variety could be added to this game... Will we ever get them...


...and do we still have these rediculous missions? Yes, we'll pay you to go to a conflict zone and destroy ships... and we even don't care which side's!

Not sure if this is still true - I have taken CZ missions and they were specific about which faction ships they wanted killed. This might vary from mission to mission, but it does make more sense.

CZ and even RES are a lot more challenging - I would hate to be a new CMDR and wander in there with a lo spec ship, you would get slaughtered pretty quickly.

Yeah don't take those missions. You lose rep because at least for me there are never CZ's in the mission systems.

 

[DidierDrbois]

I think those missions are broken (and not just in concept either )

Done good heap of missions since 1.3 and except the early payout bug and some broken text in mission branches, I haven't had a single problem. Never seen a 'side-less' CZ mission either, they always specify faction.

Is there a bug report I could check out perhaps? Cheerio!

Really? Thank God for a small step forwards then

These were issued by a controlling faction that wanted to put an end to a pointless war by 2 0% factions.
I am not saying the mission makes sense.

The faction specific ones all work (provided the CZ is still there). There are still ones like this though where you just have a military target:



These missions were broken a few days ago.

At least you rank up faster in combat.

70k for a Python? I'm getting 52k for Pythons and 72k for Condas, I managed 7.7m in around 2hrs in my Conda (Shields never dropped so subtract about 30k for banks) What am I doing wrong? o.o

Gah, Conda sorry >.< Got the ships mixed up. Derp. Yeah, 50k-odd for Pythons. Still managed to get a 212k credit bounty off a Python in one of Youming's high-int RES site though (with KW scanner) and he was much easier to kill
