Missions & Complexes

Not sure if someone's already listed these, not read through all 9 pages. Apologies for any double ups.


Allow all members of a fleet to warp to a mission beacon under their own steam, rather than send the person who's mission it is in first, and everyone else warp to them. So if I pick up a mission in a system, other people in my fleet can warp to it without me being there.


A small audio notification for when you complete mission objectives, even if it's just a cheerful beep. I help a fair number of people who are getting into missions and they miss when they've completed the objective and are sat there for a while waiting for something to happen, alternatively they've shot everything and left, and not done what they needed to do.


Another audio notification for when you accept or complete a mission, this is more to alleviate my all too often mindlessness when I undock without accepting the goddamn mission, worse when I set autopilot and jump across to where I'm going.


The mission rejection timer to be toned down, or preferably not trigger when it's against another empire faction. A lot of mission runners these days specifically avoid missions not because of the difficulty, but because of who they're shooting. The former is probably easier to code, while the latter means this can't be used to avoid crap missions vs drones or mercs.


Have the LP store remember the last filter setup you used. It keeps defaulting to "show affordable only" for me, when most of the time I use it to buy ammo, ammo and more ammo.. and the occasional starbase charter.



There's a lot of other stuff in my head but I'm really trying to stick to "little" things. I hope when missions get looked at for a more serious revamp, a thread like this for player suggestions is created.

Thanks!

I'm sure that the devs have WAY more sense that to implement most of these, but for the sake of clarity, most players do NOT want any of this crap except maybe the second one. In fact, if you're asking for a 'PVP Off' switch, there is already one available. You just click 'Quit Game' and find something to play that's more your style.

Can we add another 1000 (So 3000 instead of 2000) characters to the MOTD, so broken links or really long links imbedded in it doesn't cause it to go all cryptic so easily.

color code the type of incoming damage

blue for em a shade noticeably different than outgoing damage
gray for kenetic
red for thermal
orange for explosive
and perhaps split

A simple item, not necessarily Missions but an overall UI improvement.

In the selected Item HUD box, the 'align to', 'Warp to' and 'Jump' buttons, can we make them turn on to a solid color and off with a click.

For example; In a fleet the FC does a wing warp and say jump on contact, you take the warp and click the Jump Icon (It turns Green for lack of a better color scheme) in mid warp the FC gets new intel and changes his mind from jump on contact to 'Hold on gate', the fleet member clicks the Jump Icon again and it goes from Green to the normal white border button. So instead of needing to spam stop on the gate we now know we will drop from warp and wait.

This also works for non fleet scenario, where many of us have been heading somewhere and realized we forgot something, so cancel jump and change route in mid warp would be handy.

For the trolls I don't want to cancel a warp mid warp just the command to jump with a visual indicator to let me know if I am in 'Jump' or just 'Warp to' mode while in warp.

The mission window has a little bug in it. If you minimize it and then restore it sometimes the mission text is unreadable until you resize the window. I don't know if more people have this problem. Happens about 1/3 of the times. Is annoying.

Then I think the time limit as it is now, is not realistic. The clock starts running after accepting the mission. In reality it should be starting after seeing the mission. Maybe the mission grinders don't like it too much, but it is more realistic.

This is not really a major problem but would be nice..

If and agent would sorta remember you the more you use them.. the NPC's feel like robots..

I have a guy that i have a 9.2 rating with that i have probably talked to 400 times .. and his opening text is always like "So you think your a tough guy don't you well here is a mission you can maybe pull off" type thing.. and this ******** @$$hat knows very well that i have done like 400 missions from him and blown up at least 10,000 ships for him and he is treating me like someone he just met today :)

Maybe make it so that agents keep track of how many times you have used then and make them say a few different things.. all it takes is a small database counter and a few extra lines of text.

Maybe make it so that they are friendly or hostile if your declining a lot of missions or you are getting a lot of missions done in a fast time something like that.

I know its not a real problem becasue its just npc missions but a lot of other MMo's at least try and make there NPC grind missions some what interesting.

Get rid of drone missions.

Completely.

Audio for completed mission, the mission is complete dialogue is inconsistent

Story line count down

Better information when showing info on enemy ship.

In the age of interstellar travel why can't I accept and turn in missions via eve mail?

When I warp to an acc gate, getting stuck on it is frustrating as hell.

Make the music loop 2 times, edgy music stops playing halfway thru the mission.

Better dialogue from enemy NPCS.

Missions that require hacking to access acc gate?

Continues salvage option on drones

Better LP store filtering

More diverse angels on agent portraits. They all look the same.

My Idea,

As new missions are created, the old missions could be put offline for a short duration and then put back in. (cycling missions means they might have the chance to be missed!)

The old missions could even be tweeked:

Change the type / location of Spawns, Racial types within, location of objective, move/add random spawns.

Little things:

Getting stuck on collidables (NPC's)

NPC Aggro, do they not see you shooting their friends. (Maybe a part of the other spawns come to investigate)

Spawn triggers, be good to see the enemy ships warp in, maybe have them detectable on Dscan, have the ranges and location variable (maybe relative to the trigger ship, you blap the trigger ship, the distress call goes out, a timer starts, first the frigs turn up, then the cruisers and finally the BS's)

Repeated missions get boring (see above about variation), maybe have a script to prevent getting the same mission per SL

Higher Standings could give you more declines without standings loss, or be able to negotiate for the better missions.

The Mission could have extra spawns for extra ships in a fleet, to make it a challenge for fleets.

Agents offer multiple missions, so its not constant dock and undock, or access mission via Comms, delivering a mission item or ammo pick up etc, be the main reason to dock up.

More linky missions, part 1 part 2 etc. This with reduced docking would be nice, ie kill Dread pirate, take her ID card to access another mission.

Biggest one for me with the lower level missions is not knowing what ships fit through gates, maybe have a classification system, Gate is class 1 accepts everything, class 2 BS and below, class 3 BC and below etc. If they can give you info on where the gate is and what is on the other side, they should know what fits through the gate.

NPC's should follow the rules, firing Torps massive ranges! Be nice to see them reload, switch ammo, maybe have a few pre designed tactics, only a handful would be needed. As opposed to orbit set range shoot til I die.

Drone missions, a nice change from other missions but V dull, be nice if they had some EW, maybe depending on what ship they have converted, drone dps should be variable too, why are they limited to one damage type. Loot should be better too, what ever was in the hold at the time of conversion, maybe some large ships or drone hive mind with guns!(bigger than BS for fleet missions).

Delay or decline? Is there a difference? Does delay mean you get that mission put by for a raining day??

Just some thoughts!
