Engineers how do i increase rep with Tod The Blaster?

[Lord Momo]

I have tried bounties specific to him and combat bonds, the bounties specific to him work but incredibly slowly, the combat bonds didn't do anything from what I gathered.

Only viable option seems to be pointless upgrades until you get to the good stuff, god I hope this is unintentional and will be fixed shortly like the other engineers that take explor data profits for rep.

hue, you can turn in any type of exploration data to farseer and maruuk but you cant turn in any type of bounties to the bounty hunter. (Edit: You can turn any type of commodity into the dweller as well..)

It's intentional, you have to be dillusional to think a special bounty vouncher was introduced with engineers that can only be gathered in the same system as the enginer base is located and with HIS name on it, then when you turn said vounchers to the guy his reputation goes up but he won't accept any other vouncher.

If you believe that is a bug and the introduction of the extra bounty is meaningless and 27,000cr worth of it did net 37% of Rank 3 experience. It only proves you want to bring easy 5mil or so worth of random bounties for instant rank 5.

well generally when I can spend just a few hours to do the same thing to the explorer engineers, or the dweller. Then yeah, I dont expect something to be THAT specific. But clearly it being intentional or a bug is rather not clear ATM as the frequency of the bounties are quite low, assuming.

Problem is that explorers and trader can do exactly what you say delusional very effictively, while bounty hunters can't.

Which means that it's either a bug or an omission.

MY POINT precisely, anyone who says that someone is trying to do this for the sake of simplicity is actually right, but because the fact that the other engineers are set up THAT way. It doesn't make any sense as to why Tod the Blaster, a bounty hunter, ex-cqc pilot, would want specific bounties, rare ones when compared to those explorers that will take 5000000 ice planets.

If this is intentional, then let's do the same with farseer -> only exploration data from her system can be used to rank up !

hahahaha

I have most unlocked already, although I have a high CQC rank.

I am 99% that 27,000 is 37% of experience was a typo because I tested it myself and 36,000 got me 7% of rank 2 experience, something is amiss, whether it be the types of bounties, frequency of his bounties, or potentcy of them, his rep is wayyyyyy harder then the other entry level engineers

 

[MVP_Bluntman]

So the only things we can go off, is a rare bounty or a dead side game mode. Or. Waste more time on this engineer, than on any of the other engineers, because logic.

New player here investigating this mechanic. Sat at a nav beacon for two hours last night in Wolf 397 with god knows how many ships, watching as each more experienced player beat me to the kills. Back out again this morning, still just as busy - still at 0/100,000 and can't imagine this will change until this feature stops being new.

Forcing players to compete for such a limited pool of bounties in a single solar system isn't a good idea and serves to break immersion by emphasising the game-yness of the mechanic: I can't remember when I had less fun in a game, except perhaps when chasing specific mob types along with hordes of other players back in 2.x era World of Warcraft.

I thought Frontier Developments discouraged the use of gated, theme-park content too?

 

[robinjb]

surely you guys are better off collecting the mats for the grade 1 mods like sturdy mount and lightweight mount.. nickel , vanadium , phosphorus , galvanising alloys or double shot fro frags.. carbon and mech equipment. all really easy drops to get. and repping up that way. no?

The initial bounty can be Alliance, so go to any Alliance system and take a KWS along with you.

 

[Crash_Happy]

It looks intentional, but might not be. Just because other engineers give rep differently doesn't mean every other has to follow their pattern. If they were all he same people would quickly complain about the lack of variety.
It is possible though that other bounties should be accepted. Having specific vouchers of his own suggests not but it could be that other bounties should be worth less than his rare specific requests.

I've managed to acrue bounties in Solo mode. Shame that it came to that, but at least the option is there! Unfortunately I'm getting a CTD upon entering planetary flight, so I'm hamstrung there. Thanks for the advice though, it helped me get one step closer!

Thats what I am doing now, but before it made sense that if almost all the other engineers had quick ways to rank up, so would tod, but guess not at least for now.

 

[Nerwan]

I just handed Todd about a million's worth of Alliance bounties and 36k's worth of his own bounties.. My rep went from around 30% level 3 to 15% level 4.. I'm assuming this means that alliance bounties work in terms of ranking up with him since I doubt 36k of Todd bounties would have been enough to do that...
