Ok, Mission Update Mechanics Getting
- Thread starter Pokemeck
- Start date
I love it when they want you to hurry up and deliver sooner than the original ETA, and the updated time left is 0 minutes.
Yep, business is strange in the year 3300.
BOTH agree to a contract to deliver something within a certain timeframe.
THEY change (aka, 'break') contract.
YOU get a sassy sarcastic putdown for not being able to deliver within 0 minutes.
[hotas]
That's probably the most expensive order cancellation I've heard of so far.
"Dammit! I left me sarnies in that pile of cargo!"

Jason Statham, is that you?
See, this is the kind of bugginess in the mission system that -should- be elbow greased out. The engine should be looking at the stations that are logically within relatively easy reach and make coherent sense for a changed destination to apply to, HOWEVER, if a change of destination is pending, it should flash up as a pending mission item and you should have the right to accept the altered conditions for an increased payout OR retain the original contract to deliver as promised. As you've already agreed to the initial contract, it should be on you (the player) to decide whether you accept new terms, not on the issuer, not after it's signed and sealed.
+ rep for being brutally honest
The system is a total joke. I would get multiple missions all redirected to places too small to dock at. It would NET over Ten million in fines sometimes, all due to autogen. At the very least, I should not have to complete the contract if they change the terms. I have no idea when one of the 300 people working at FDEV is gonna get round to fixing these game breaking bugs.
And the bonus is so bad, 80k to risk my Annie by smashing through the slot to meet some arbitrary <1 minute deadline? Lol you're lucky I bothered at all you cheap-skates!
I like this. +1 and I like Hobbes too so thumbs up buddy.
I beat 1 0m update, one. Stripped my c7 prismatic by bouncing off 3 sides of the slot doing it. That was only because I logged to take a walk and lo and behold, I had parked in front of the slot.
Mission giver: *just as you leave dock*
"Hmm...now where did I put my space keys?"
'O..o'*realizes they're packed in the cargo*
"OH SH**! CALL HIM BACK ASAP!"
They normally tell you that instructions will be given later, but I've never had one send me back to where I came from.

I have had nothing but those missions. I take a delivery mission, go straight there, upon reaching the station i get a mission update. Can you do this faster you have 0H, 0M to complete. Oh look you failed.
At least give me five minutes to complete. I've gone from 24H to zero in five minutes. Just a little rant here.

What I think is totally moronic is who is going to pay you a bonus to hurry up a delivery just as you arrive outside the station? It really makes one wonder if the developer actually plays the game. What's even more annoying is if you simply ignore the messages and turn in the mission, the new message counter gets out of sync.
