I've coded in two new missions designed for new players to get a handle on some of the basic aspects of the game while making a little income. Since the missions are so simple the rewards are pretty small (all level 1 cash bonus which is 100-500 m/e). I'm glad though because the missions page has been embarrassingly bare for a while now.

I know I should've waited til next round to implement it but it's not going to give anyone a huge advantage so I hope it's no biggie.

woo hoo!  5 extra Dischargers!!!

[L8u8k8e8]

Haha, seems pretty cool though, nice way to show off the new features.

[kingpin]

I actually learned a thing or 2 from them so good job. I like things like that that keep you busy and you get a small reward.

[King_Brandon]

That 600 - 3000 m/e will come in REAL handy during the first ticks of next round!  That is NOT sarcasm!  (neither was the 5 Discharger comment).

[bokachika]

minor but..

the last  comm. 101 says topicon  instead of topic on


hopefully we can get some new missions too, i like ones like this that actually teach you stuff about the game and help you out


maybe something about the galaxy voting?

[King Woof Woof]

im wondering whats happening with the darkblade nebula

[bokachika]

idk, but its looming behind my galaxy on the universal view. it seems like it will be cool when it actually gets put into play. i like the idea of the universe not being completely discovered/traveled.

but for other minor missions, maybe just things like scanning, using the battle calc, changing m/e ratios etc.
and not to be pushy, but maybe one for clicking the senate link would be good too.

[King_Brandon]

i agree with Boka, little bonuses to teach us about stuff. 

[kingpin]

speaking of learning about galaxy commanders, Wasn't something supposed to be changed about them. Like they were supoed to have lots more power?

Love the new addition but if you want to still implement something next round what about expanding current missions?

I like it, but i think the communications need to be tweaked, because then we'll be getting spam.

I added #'s so you can easily zip to what I'm talking about:
1  That's exactly how I've gotten my level 2 bonus in the rounds I've played in.
2  Gotta love piggy backing on "sure-thing" attacks!
3  so 3 & 4 are the same, just different qtys?
4
5  Good
6  Ideas
7
8  maybe a little higher.
9  ...i agree, gotta think of something to prevent spamming
10
11
12  ouch.  that one needs to be worth a LOT!

[Kael_Vonrik]

about 3 and 4, yes an no, thats pretty much all the varied fleet is, but # 3 makes it so you have to have lurkers, currently you don't ever need to get war 4 if you arent getting war 5 because the way the mission is set up, you just have to get 1k units of the ones available to you.

and perhaps #2 you also must obtain rocks and just just win the attack?

[kingpin]

I would like to see some techs where it would take most of the round to complete because If you think about it. Everyone eventually gets their techs done . If we expand techs then people would be more unique making the game more tactical. What do you guys think?
