General Lets Talk About The Search & Rescue In This Game

Lets Earn The Search & Rescuse Livery Paint Job Through Missions To Help Others

There are many crashed / destroyed ships out in the galaxy. Lets add some search & rescue missions that lead CMDR's to set out looking the missing ships in an effort to save them.

So far, its either black box recovery or its station rescue when its been attacked, which are to far in between that CMDR's can partake in.

If on the search and rescue contact board, we had a missing ships report tab. CMDR's can choose assignments to track missing ships last locations. Following their last known flight routes in an effort to find and rescue them. CMDR's can locate the missing ships. It can go two ways

1). finding the ship and crew alive but either stranded in deep space needing repairs or fuel or planet side after an emergency landing and in need of fuel or possibly need repairs after an incident that left their transmitter along with other components damaged, forcing the CMDR to fly search patterns to find them.

2). Find the ships destroyed / crashed with many recently deployed escape pods. Collect crew escape pods and black box's that works towards progress with the search and rescue that could work towards unlocking / Making it avalible to purchase the Search & Rescue Paint Job for your ship to show off your dedication to saving life in the galaxy.


There can even be wing missions for when ships are lost within anarchy systems where they’ve probably been attacked by pirates and need to be ready if attacked.

The game already has most of these assets in place for this idea to happen, just needs to be strung together to form a whole new experience for CMDR's to help the people we share the galaxy with.

I would love to see the search and rescue paint jobs avalible for all ships so every CMDR can use their perferred ship while searching the galaxy to save those in need. Such as myself with my GSAR Beluga "Rescue Six"

There are some USS with S&R activities. Also you can drop into pirate thread and save lives (Or get fimiliar with Etienne Dorn)

I hope Fdev gives some love to S&R as you suggest. No it is only 'meh' in terms of reward/motivation
 
I can't see them bothering much (other than if they added surface S&R as part of the Odyssey missions) until we have space legs (as opposed to surface legs). It makes more sense to revamp S&R as part of adding wreck salvage with EVAs etc.
 
I was already thinking there's something missing from the mission board like this. Specifically I was thinking of missions that takes you out of the bubble (with appropriate increase in rewards for the distance that needs to be travelled). There's scope for lots of "mini-Adamastor" type scenarios - little mysteries, maybe generated procedurally, that can be pieced together to find an S&R objective for a reward. You might pick up a few before leaving on an exploration trip to add some objective-driven play and break up the trip.

EDIT - okay I've now added a suggestion on this (and added a link to this thread in it) - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/exploration-missons.562766/

I always enjoyed finding pods on planets and turning them in, saving people that would eventually die is a nice change of pace, especially when you rarely come upon the giant, yet rare, mass pod signals, when I first saw the like 10 or so pods sticking in the ground I was a little unnerved at the sight, so any kind of buff to this aspect would be awesome!
