Please tell me the USS missions are getting an overhaul

He clearly doesn't get the game.

The game is about imagining a different game while you fly around in supercruise.

Sheesh what are you 14 op? Let me tell you about the eighties when all we had was white lines and we enjoyed it!

Yup it was way more fun back then

I somewhat agree. If the mission requires you to find an assassination target - It would be nice if they said "he was last seen near "moon X" or "planet X" in whatever system rather than say "He was last seen in X system". They could have the USS's pop up near those specific locations rather than "somewhere in the solar system".

Every time I've suggested this I've gotten the following sort of response:

"Eww you want an easy button pie to go with your newb green tea? You just want a dumb arrow telling you where to go all the time. Go play Skyrim, you loser"

Paraphrased and added color, of course. But there is a point in the rebuttal. I don't want an arrow telling me where to go, but I also don't like the mission system being so completely random! i think mission targets should have discreet and moving locations, and you will have to do ACTUAL tracking to find them. Either through gathering information from other NPCs or possibly paying a deck hand at an outpost to sneak a tracking device on the target when they pass through next time, for a fee of course. IDK, anything other than the randomness we have now.

Michael have said that "they can do more with them".

That is "Michael-speak" for "Yes, they will get an overhaul.

Alright, I'll hang on until then then Saw the Bounty list was updated time for pvp

I think its a bit late to complain now though. Why were you guys not in beta?

Oh! I pointed this out in Beta and Gamma. Each time, shut down.

It looks absolutely ridiculous when I can complete 5 missions without ever moving more than a 1Ls. Seems all the pirates, bounty hunters, black boxes, rebel communications, trade data, elite anacondas and funeral processions all happen within the same tiny amount space in any position in all of the system.

Ah yes, that's the quantum universe we live in. Until you look inside the probability wave does not collapse to a definite result. If your not looking at the Moon is it really there and is that bloody cat still alive in that box?

 

[Quineloe]

What? You don't enjoy the endless procession of wedding parties, funeral processions, and "your minerals bought here" USS sites?

what minerals does the Mineral Magpie want?

Indeed, it is the grand machination that ED's PG is trying to emulate, no? The universe, in a quantum mechanical sense, is just a bunch of information in algorithms that resolve to conclusions when interacted with.
