Sometimes I want a change from bounty hunting and keep my eye on the bulletin boards every time I dock, but there are rarely any missions for a guy in an Eagle and without much faction so I thought I would suggest some. Seeing missions that are there but unavailable is a real let down.
I am not sure about things like copyright and such, but if your like me and love space games and are old enough, maybe you played the old Privateer and Wing Commander series of games, that said they had some content that is generic in theme and would make a nice add.
1) shuttling around a ambassador, scientist, noble, etc for credit; nice to have a well armed ship as you generally got attacked by some faction out to get them which is why they hire your gun in the first place.
2) I see that there are cartography credits to be made and I have done so, but it would be a nice thing to have a job on the bulletin boards to go somewhere and do a scan of a star and some planets. It sure would give me some incentive to move around as right now I just sit in the same 5 systems trying to earn enough for a nice ship upgrade.
3) Escort missions, these were the most difficult to do; some guy needs an escort and usually is in some really weak tranport ship. The way it could work in this game is you get the mission to meet some guy at a jump point to some spot like a nav beacon; meet the guy and get started he puts along; maybe has to scan something or mine an asteroid or something; then get to some designated area for a jump and you have to protect him.
Perhaps this is all in the works; but I wanted to put it out there; maybe you guys have more ideas to fill this bulletin board as it is sorely needed.
