Wing Missions

[Lankspeed]

OH DEAR!

I do not do wings co-operation is not for me. Looks like FDEV have nerfed it for me.

When I looked at the beta did not have time in beta to check out missions.

Oh well had Three years, time to move on and away.

Looked at the mission board Only saw 3 out of 15 which were single missions.
That was over the whole of today 12 + hours. Kept checking mission bbs at different stations.

Fdev please tell me I am wrong, but it looks like you want people to use open or private groups?

Maybe FDEV should implement a filtering system for missions across the different platforms, for instance, if you play in Solo, then you shouldn't even see wing missions posted on the board. Of course, I haven't checked in Solo yet, so maybe its already like that, but I do play in private group and have noticed that all cargo missions seem to be wing only and the only single cargo missions were the chained missions from before the update that I hadn't done yet. Maybe devise a way that you can accept a wing mission as a solo player, but you just have to go back and forth until all the cargo is transferred before you get paid, a multiple trip cargo mission as it were, I might consider doing a mission like that, the payout looked like it might be worth it, 5 mil to transport 3400 tons or something, might take me a year in a hauler, but it would be fun....hahaha.

You can do wing missions solo.

Yes I am looking into the possibilities the filter idea would be nice doing a multi trip is possible. My problem is I loved the assassination missions. I will see what comes up over the next week. Thanks for the positive replies. It does give one encouragement.

have you tried one of the assassination missions solo? just wondering how feasible they are to lone wolf it.

some of the wing delivery missions are under 1000 tons so are doable solo if you have a big ship...... where as others is just not feasible. dunno if the assassination missions are the same - ie a competent wing assassination mission being ok if you are an experiened player as a lone wolf.

edit for the record as a primarily lone wolf player i agree, wing missions need to supplement NOT replace the number of lone wolf missions.

I have now done a Wing delivery 3000 tons mission in the Cutter and quite doable. Will try a lone wolf assassination one to see what happens.

Yes That is how I see it. Maybe separate category like Passenger missions are ?

In the beta, I did a wing assassination mission in a multicrew python, and I got melted. I never did get a good count on the enemies, but it was 6-7 ships at least, and they were nasty ships. I don't remember exactly, but I think there were multiple pythons, an anaconda, and four or so heavy fighters.

I've you're A rated and engineered, maybe you can handle it. If so, you deserve your reward. But it was over my skill level.

I tried one last night, in my A rated Corvette. Fully engineered (new engineering). Yes It was a 5 Ship group. 1 Anaconda, 1 Pythons, 1 Heavy Fighter, 2 Other fighters.

I legged it Fast. They were good ships with nice weapons. So will need wing members to deal.

But as my Rep has gone back to 100 % with Federation I can now see all the missions I was missing. There is a scattering of Assassination missions. I did do some wing supply missions with My cutter and Vette they were Good as well, did those lone wolf style.

Guess FD need to do a balance pass.

At least it might fix the issue we have in Phekda where most missions are to Colonia... oh gods no, please don't tell me there will be wing missions to Colonia..... "Deliver 1000 tons to Colona"... eeek!

Had a Reply to my ticket on this issue. Fdev are looking into the Spawning Frequency of wing missions. So it looks like they will resolve it I hope. Thanks Frontier.

This new Version is quite nice love the galnet audio and the engineering is easier (was that a good idea or not?).
