Missions & Complexes

Posting in a stealth nerf highsec thread

No, cuz they all just drop corp and go to an NPC Corp if a wadec happens and continue doing their L4s. The only real way someone can interfere with mission runners is though ganking or ninja-salvaging.

Oh I know that already just did not want to say it otherwise the 0.0 brigade pipe up saying its deadly out there

True to that, although I find lvl 3s more fun, may be is because I ran them in a cruiser and they become more challenging to those ships.

Eh depends.

Im running missions now to raise standings for locators. In terms of ISK generation theyre complete shite. The reward from null is huge. I can understand why pvprs want L4 missioners in low sec but also why L4 missioners dont want a gang dropping in on them as well. No way Id be missioning there, I have but had to spend more time cloaked and not missioning waiting for a bunch of tards then actually doing the missions.

Missioners want non-pvp combat (low risk) and most lowsec gangs want missioners (low risk) so if one is bad so is the other..

id have to aggre on this more or less. i generaly run missions and doing some salvage etc whic is very relaxing way of playing.
but some new missions would not be bad. if you run alot of them you will do the same one atlest once or twice a day.

On one hand I can see why people want more missions, on the other hand, I don't think it really matters enough to warrant the time it would take to implement it.

Missions are a grind, and always will be. Shooting the little red + signs on your overview is pretty much the same regardless of the mission you're running. Sure you sometimes have to go through a gate, or pick up an item, but in the end the missions are all pretty much the same. This would be especially noticeable if the mission pool got bigger. There's only so much variation you can have in a mission and if you need proof of this you only need look at the fact that people have "level 4 fits" that only really change the hardeners around between missions. Missions are all very samey, and adding more won't change that.

Rather than adding yet more bloat to an admittedly flawed system, I'd rather see CCP get their sleeves rolled up and deal with the flaws in the mission system and start from scratch with a system that doesnt routinely repeat the same mistakes.

Where entire wings of enemy targets are located behind massive structures that those targets are too damned stupid to fly AROUND instead of trying and failing to fly THROUGH.
Where NPCs can ignore the range limitations of modules to attack well beyond normal operational limits of weapons and modules.
Where NPCs are blessed with an inexhaustible Cap pool.

Make it WORK properly before you add in more missions that would then have to be debugged IF you ever get round to fixing the system.

Shiny System Jump Tunnels and Swooshy Matrix-Like system scanners are lovely and all, but I'd rather see your time spent fixing your f***ups instead of making new routes for all new fusterclucks.

i can already see ore prices dropping below pre drone loot nerf values...

PvP is ultimately just targeting and shooting flashy red squares of varying sizes, you just die more often...
