Since there is constant complaining, fixing, nerfing and otherwise upsetting the mission system, I was thinking about what could be done to please both casual and veteran players alike. My suggestion is this:
"Elite Missions". Call it "endgame content" if you like. Basically, it could be a separate category from the main Mission Board and it would contain missions that pay 10-50 million every time. It could consist of three submenus:
Elite Combat Missions: Massacre, Skimmer, Power Generator and Assassination missions accessible to those who have reached Elite rank in combat.
Elite Trade Missions: Trading, hauling, sourcing missions to those who've reached Elite in trade.
Elite Exploration Missions: Scanning, mining, long distance passenger and tourist missions for exploration Elite players.
This way the main Mission Board could remain accessible to everyone with moderate rewards yet those who have worked hard and reached Elite status could access high-paying missions without the threat of nerfing. Those who have collected enough money to buy huge ships deserve valuable missions as rewards in my opinion. This separate "Elite Missions" category would mean just that.
I don't think a single, general Mission Board can be fine-tuned to provide adequate challenge and rewards for all players. I think "endgame" players, who are already Elite should get something different, even higher rewards. The same applies to Wing Missions. Only those who are Elite in the respective category could these missions be shared with. What do you think?
