Lt. Commander 6 and out of missions?

edited January 2010 in Feature Episodes, Events and PvE Content
This cannot be right - completed all missions (save patrol/defend since they just keep getting re-offered) I have been offered and am not being offered anymore. I did have one act up - the one where you go to the neutral zone and told to join a war zone, which I did and we won (federation) but mission only ticked off credit for playing a war zone and not winning so I figured it was borked and dropped it (some like that in OB people said where messed up, the resource battles). Anyways, finished my last mission after that and now I got nothing. Memory Alpha won't give me any, says to do stuff for this or that NPC and haling starfleet is just the lowbie patrols and defends and whatnot. And I tried to go back to Deepspace 7 (think that is place) and get that Neutral Zone mission again to see if it was working and I couldn't even pick that up.

Any suggestions?

    Patrol missions are not re-offered. You do them once and that's it. Go do them and get to level 7. The next storyline mission requires you to be at level 7 to be offered it.

    The only ones that can be repeated are Defend/Explore, patrols and everything else are 1 time only..

    Are you sure? Sulu offered me the Patrol the Sirius Sector twice. Didn't accept it beacause dont want to do it over and over...

    btw, anyone knows if i got to the skill cap at lvl (dont know), will i be able to get more bridge officer points in order to skill them up as i want and maybe therefore changing their skills?

    Or will the BO points also be capped?

    thanks , i know its the wrong forum:-)


    anyway, best regards from europe where its now 12am and im not able to play on a saturday...:-(

    Same, that is why I wasn't doing them. Also because they are typically so long and unrewarding for the time to boot.

    What about Memory Alpha - I did the mission that sends me over there to turn in the data sample but I cannot get any missions from the other NPCs there - nor could I in OB. Is that a level thing too?

    The Patrol missions where it assigns several systems inside normal sector space shouldnt be Repeated. The "Defend" missions are (those are the enemy encounters) and the Explore missions that want you to explore 3 unknown systems are also repeatable.

    In beta I did have at least 1 level where I ran out of normal missions though, and had to do a few repeatable missions then suddenly some more regulars showed up.

    If you are getting Patrol missions (go to x, y, z systems and do stuff) offered multiple times, it is a bug, and should be reported. The repeatable ones Sulu is supposed to offer are the missions that have you go to x number of Enemy Contacts in a sector and fight them.

    Unfortunately, there are a few gaps up through Captain from their on out, from what I noticed during beta. You're going to have to either PvP, repeat some defend missions, or do some exploration missions in order to grind your way through.

    I think they were expecting us to be PvP'ing and hanging out a little longer in Fleet Actions and such, as far as I can figure. The gap once you hit commander is pretty big.. you get missions, but they can be tough (several levels above you). So, I'd suggest you do the same then.. hit the patrols, fleet actions, defend missions, exploration missions, etc.

    Probably would have helped if the PvP resource missions near K7 weren't broken also, as that would have provided some more XP earlier on.

    You have to do the mission that involves taking someone from starbase 114 in the Celes sector to Starbase 39 in the sierra sector, to unlock the next set of missions, once you have run out of missions from the Sol Starbase.

    I don't know abotu unrewarding. At in the sirius sector each leg of the patrol gives a completion bonus of exp, BOff points and merits. With 4 legs typically you end up getting about 1.5 times the final points rewarded by an episode. All you dont get is the loot reward that comes with an episode.

    And yeah, patrols should not be repeatable. One time for each system from Sulu.

    I guess I will have to take a look at them again, in open beta I started doing them all and seemed to be getting nowhere fast. Not that I am in a rush, it just seemed they where more filler than meal.

    I am Lt 6 as well and I just picked up a ton more missions, maybe they are repeatable. Did you contact the fleet for more missions? It will usually tell you if anyone has more missions.

    I am at lvl 9.5 and I have not run out of missions and I have not done one defend mission. I have done all the patrol missions up to the one I am on now.... or would be if the server was up.... You have to be doing something wrong to be out of missions.

    as its not possible to level by killing stuff like other mmo's. you have to level via missions and there simply not enough of them. i wish they add more xp for killing stuff not only 1xp for battleship+5...
    if the stuff you kill in a mission sums up to the amount of the mission reward the gap would be closed.

    btw i got a mission to win a war zone. so i went to a war zone and played it through 2 times. nothing happened. so how do i win a warzone or is it bugged?

    Same here - bugged it seems, I read around here others are having the same problem.

    More missions should open up when you hit 7. There are lots of things you can do until then, many of which have been posted here. I like to do the Deep Space Exploration missions, because the badges you can get can be cashed in for some pretty good Mark II uncommon items. They also have good variety and a great Star Trek "feel".

    If you want good loot drops, try running the Starbase 24 public quest a couple of times. Also, the Patrol Missions give nice items rewards and pretty decent skill points.

    Patrol missions are a great way to level (and many episode missions have a minimum level requirement).

    I usually get one 'bubble' in an on-level patrol mission (the mission is around my level). Then completing all the patrols gets me another bubble. So, a four-system patrol gets me a half-level of advancement. That's not half-bad.

    An alternative is PvP for the experience.as well

    PVP offers great XP win or loose, so it's definatly worth doing some PVP, don't be scared of it.

    Redoing the cluster exploration mission more than once is handy, as you also get those explore badges you can spend upstairs at Earth Base shipyard.

    You can redo those but theres either a time limit to being able too accept the mission again after completing it or you have too go do a mission like a efend sector mission before you are offered it again.

    Don't totally depend on calling Starfleet.

    DO re-visit Admiral Quin, I've found sometimes he's stopped taking my calls but has missions I need to do.

    One of those was/is the mission to go to Starbase 114 and do the pickup and drop off at Starbase 39. When then opens missions in that Sector block for you.

    Do some defend the sector missions if you have to, or go to a cluster in your range, and just do explorations.

    Patrol missions are repeatable, but you get the most experience the first time you do it.
