Mission Requirements - Suggestion/Request
FDev:
Please please can we be allowed to have the ability to make an informed decision ourselves and accept missions regardless of ship size or passenger cabins / cargo capacity currently fitted?
As it currently stands, for example I am in a fighter, but see an available mission that requires much more cargo capacity than the fighter holds, and is currently 'requirements not met'.
To stand any chance whatsoever of "getting" this mission, I have to re-ship and 99.9% of the time - it's no longer there when done.
Surely if I have the required reputation & a ship in store that can accommodate the mission requirements, I should be allowed to accept the mission then change ship and/or fitting if required accordingly.
Currently, I have lost count of the times that I've changed ship etc, only to find the mission I wanted is no longer there at all. (despite being well within the 15 min "refresh".)
I recently watched the ED missions Q&A official YT vid from just before Christmas '16.
In it, it was stated that mission acceptance requirements would remain as they are, so as not to cause penalties for new players unaware of the 'requirements' for completion.
Whilst I get that, surely you're looking at this the wrong way?
All we need to accept ANY mission and protect people from dumb choices is a simple warning message stating something like 'Your current ship / reputation is insufficient for this mission' as we are more than capable of making that decision, and that gives a heads up to someone not paying attention.
If they ignore the warning, well unlucky and hey - welcome to ED.
I just want to be able to 'reserve' the mission and be allowed to re-ship / re-fit accordingly to be able to accept and carry out the mission within the required timeframe
And can we also not increase the current 24hr limit to 48hr or 72hrs, for people who can't spend hours and hours daily playing the game due to real life commitments?
Oh and a higher credit buff for friendly/allied rep would be much appreciated too (bin the commodities rewards instead).
Many thanks in advance, o7
