Skimmer Missions not fixed

like, if you think the base spawning the things you're supposed to be shooting at *spawning* the things is a sign the mission is broken, then just take the whole thing offline and be done with it because that IS the mission. i genuinely don't know what people think these missions are supposed to be like, but they're definitely supposed to have skimmers in them.

We would not be having this conversation if you had to kill EVERYONE AND EACH of the skimmers you signed in your mission contracts. I'm not saying it is so broken that it is easy money, but it is not hard. Be honest, it is not hard.

are simultaneous skimmer, stinger, guardian and goliath plus turret attacks that don't let up easier or harder than the old "here's 3 skimmers and no more will spawn till you relog" missions?

the real issue here, as usual, is the shallow as a puddle mission mechanics. if these things forced you to take out a bunch from one location, then spawned in a few bases along the way on the planet you land on to take out additional skimmers it'd be a lot better. but as it stands, you're stuck with the old (terrible) skimmer missions, or the new ones which are a heck of a lot more involved.

so i gotta disagree, getting hammered by 3 guardians shooting missiles everywhere with swarms of skimmers draining shields is way more of a challenge than most other missions around - especially when trying to get to a spot where you can rearm / repair before more show up. i haven't done these at a base less than ++, but every one i've done so far has been relentless and i've never had that feeling while doing an ED missions prior to this.

hey don't argue with ilo he knows more than you PERIOD!!! have you seen his posts?!!!

unfair this, unfair that, to easy, too much money.... The guy whines about having a bit more reward or pretty much everything.


Its obvious he is the "Fairy Godmother of Fairness"

LOL WHAT?
 
eh, it's all good (as in, discussing whether these things are broken or not). but imho these missions - in their currently designed state - are as good as they can be i think. improving them definitely requires them to have a bit more depth to them, but i swear they're the first missions i've done in a long time since starting ED where it was non stop action and the distinct sense that i was kinda up against it for a change. of course, ymmv.

Do you realise you don't point out or care if the mission is fun, rewarding, challening or interesting? just care about hte profit. Soon you will learn to appreciate other things :)

I was doing skimmer missions long before you knew about them :p

The point that missions are not that FUN is valid, but EVERYONE agrees on it. You continue to post about 100 times per page telling folks that missions are overpaid for this and that, they should be 1.5M instead of X...

Am I wrong?!!!

"I was doing skimmer missions long before you knew about them " >>> I AM SURE you did know them before I did, no argument there. Does that mean you know whats best for everyone?


you do realize you spend more time in this forums telling people whats fair or not to you. It seems you spend more time in the forums than playing. If you do play and still have time for so many posts on so many threads every day...

Think you know where am getting at. You breath, eat, smell ED all day long hence, you take everything as a problem and way to seriously imo.

With never ending "unfair" rhetoric and a ban hammer on your back!


This is IMO based on multiple posts you've done in the past on multiple threads...


Its all good CMDR, we are all entitled to our opinion. I just disagree with you in the time vs reward issue...

Incorrect, I give my opinion, I don't tell anyone what to do (unless someone is asking for help). You do whatever you want, but if you can write down your opinion so do I, and yezz.. cut me in two if I ever said how much a mission must pay lol, I think you took me for someone else. And no, I only answer about the reward balance in skimmer missions, since I was as well one of the first testing the new fix (not sure you were around to read about it, but no worries), other than that

Please check again :) nah, nevermind :D if you don't see my critisizing posts that you are not reading well. Elite Dangerous has bugs, some of the latest decissions are questionable, the mission/payment system has deficiencies and the AI needs a rework, so?

I disagree as well, but I don't make stuff personal, you can try reasoning with me ;)

what, am I not being respectful to you? do you really want to go that way? leave my private life alone, you don't want to know :)

I don't understand why you need to dissect your response in multiple posts.

I did say it was based on my opinion and your amount of posts... Yes, I did generalize. Could I be wrong?!!! of course!

I didn't disrespect you, well maybe on another post calling you "Fairy Godmother of Fairness" - If you didn't find it funny, I apologize.



Yes, you are respectful and funny I have to say. So no harm done CMDR.

Sometimes I use sarcasm to communicate when I see logic and reasoning don't work... Its just who I am.


Again, I respect your opinion and I disagree in some points as well as agree in others. (just don't want to get into them, because I've already made fair amount of posts in other similar threads voicing my opinion about this issue)


fly safe CMDR!

is that the one I answered with an uppercase LOL? haha, that was as funny as unexpected!

See you around!! ;)

Who gave you the power to decide how other plays find enjoyment in this game? Seriously?

Because that's exactly what you're trying to do. Thats not your responsibility, and you shouldn't be trying to do it.

So let's be honest for a second.

How are these players taking advantage of this effecting anything you do in the game? Players with trade ships doing trade runs of 500 tons cargo or more effect the economy, more than players wiping the planet surface of skimmers, they literally do nothing to effect you.

And if they make enough money to buy one of the big three and upgrade it, and die in it because they were unprepared, so what? Why not allow natural selection to take its course?

You're literally complaining just to complain. Because some random YouTuber made a video about killing skimmers that alleged to 100+mil/h.

And to be honest, the way skimmer missions are now and how he used his head to overcome the challenge of even getting close to the base in the first place, is intelligent.

He adapted, and overcame the changes. It's not the volyboom, so I don't see the problem.
 
I love how these brown nose posts always seem to happen at the beginning of the weekend, where many people have the time to use them and the Devs are away for the weekend. A free advertisment to 'game features' that many would be unaware of and giving everyone ample opportunity to fill their boots, just awesome.

Maybe we should be thanking them for their services to the community /s :)
 
No tears from me. I am just making FDev aware of it so they can fix it early before all the complainer/whiners start using it and then whine about if for the next 2 weeks about it being changed. I could give a **** how people make money. I just get really tired of all the complaining threads in these forums.


ROFLMAO! That’s why you started complaining in this Forum?
Making them aware ... lol ...
Pitiful ...

BEHOLD, the incredibly CHALLENGING skimmer missions now:

This is how 100M worth of scrap looks like, and all that empty space is where I left the base without needing to die.

so adapted, very overcame, true boring, I beg your pardon, but.. The only challenge is not dying of boredoom or not killing the sound to switch off the annoying siren in the background.

I don't think I can be any more HONEST for a second.

I forgive you.
