When a faction gains 1.3 billion mission points, is it an exploit or a cheat?
I wont mention any other info, as it is not right to ask for it.

Is this an exploit or even a cheat?
- Thread starter Mike Reacher
- Start date
Also, there are serious diminishing returns on all forms of activity, so in most cases it won't do all that much compared with smaller numbers.
I think it might be a big neon sign with mission here, but that doesnt sound right because someone handing loads of those in would have to be a sign salesman or something
Mission board in station. Shows three rewards. The one with a star and 5 dashes equals 5 mission points. ODYSSEY
The mission board shows 5 plus signs. HORIZONS
For context I think this is actually trade points and the period of time that this 1.3bn trade points was acquired in was 2 hours.
I think the Mission reward with the Star is the Reputation reward. How do you know that someone has 1.3 b Reputation gained by handing in missions?
Mission points gained add to the influence gained.
The factions I checked on are sometimes at war.
The first faction always plays open and many players work the BGS. The faction goes up and down by 1% last week. Working BGS seems futile.
The other faction is almost never seen. Winning wars in various places, but not many. If the mission points went up by 1.3 billion, when the maximum mission point per mission is 5
then divide 1.5 billion by 5. And divide the answer by 2. ---------- How many missions did it take to reach that figure?
Please do the math and post your answer.
Not necessarily trade points. Massacre missions give 5 mission points quite often. Executing pirates often give 5 mission points.
Collecting black boxes and such can have mission points
You are correct, but it is the influence points that are making a weird difference in my opinion.
Does EU, USA and others use a thousand million to equal a billion?
When I was at school. Australia and USA used a thousand million for a billion, and the other used a million million to equal a billion. (Confusing much)
if mission points means + of mission rewards,
1. how do you know? station news doesn't give numbers for those.
2. billions as in longscale or shortscale - pre- or post 1974 meaning in the uk? 10^9 or 10^12?
Where are you getting 1.3B from?
My math says the mission points came from 130,000,000 missions per hour. That is an extraordinary amount of missions for one faction to achieve.
That is the part I don't want to air. It could cause a storm.
To cut a long thread short, is there a faction in the game that can gather 130 top tier missions per hour?
Most missions are not top tier.
It takes me a minimum of 20 minutes to get a good mission payout with 5 points for the giving faction.
Now, do you understand that I'm worried about BGS?
to do the math, under certain circumstances in certain systems a single player can create 350 + per hours.
a really large group (5000 player) playing 16 hours straight would end at 28 million + after that
so 1,5 billion/mrd is out of reach anyways,
which is why i conclude your source of data is incorrect (or you are doing some math with wrong assumptions to convert actions to mission +)

130 top tier missions per hours are no problem. the right system and you need only 2-3 players to do so.
it's always clever to hide wrong data behind a secret.
whatever that secret is - the tool or math behind it is wrong.
Pretty easy to stack quite a few ++++++ missions and finish them within minutes - if you have the right system/faction. They're not rare once you get to allied, which for BGS play you would expect.
Yes
With Courier Missions you can easily stack, so with a fast ship and mission boards in the right state, I've personally racked up 100+ INF in an hour.
The one time that springs to mind was also on a day where a large portion of the squadron was active (I think another big player group was trying its luck), so there were 20-30 of us competing for top INF contributions (on tracking outside of the game) with many others putting in other worthy contributions, before handing over to the American contingent, who handed over to APAC ... until we saw a massive jump in the tick and had to slow down to avoid an expansion.
doesn't inara show useless info like that?
it boils down to fake numbers or glitched numbers
1 person can do 200 missions a day, when driven or doing as a job.
tbh, no matter the numbers being seen, the relevant info happens every day at the tick.
and if someone is trying to accomplish a record of the largest wasted effort due to diminishing returns
or
2 someones are having a war/election
then this is normal.
this to me is a sign of people doing the BGS and cant do math.
and have no idea of opposition or all levers involved.
aka overkill, push till it hurts.
only the fool goes to war and publishes his results on INara.
trade also counts
selling several dozen cutters of goods does add up fast.
carto counts and 1 person can do easily over 1billion in 1 day.
130,000,000 is not a large number for these.
