the missions start to be more interesting for me now...
I think the journal should always have the latest info, added by events or other AIs. It is the case it seems but I hit a few missions I could not finish (had to restart and pay attention) as I had missed where to go and the server hung or I had to leave the game... The journal had not been updated.
Finally, I saw the discussion logs later. It would be nice if the jounal had a link to the logs related to the mission.
station 39, delivering scientist... last part of the mission, landing, would not work
It would help if a naming convention for the destinations would be used throughout. I mean it's ok to have 3 ways to describe, in the story line text, where to go; but in the journal mission info, it should clearly state where to go in a standard way
<instance>,block, sector, system, planet
Shared missions should be easier to get into, not the war game areas but the general team setup.
I tried to reach this guy wanting to share a mission, but the time I figure what instance he was in, jumping through instances and blocks and sectors, looking at my map trying to find him... there should be an option to click another player (in chat) and have a menu to generate the way points for you to get there... Maybe if his a teammate, an option to jump (transwarp) there. A sort of general "help me" call to which we could quickly respond to, with instructions in the mission logs, with proper direction or transwarp option.
I shared a few missions with a friend the other day, he just started I am ltc but we had to do his missions, I would just watch and help. anyway, long story short, when I got in today, I still had those lt missions in there and I could not drop them. they would just come back, assigned by zulu for example. I had to do the lt missions which I had now done twice, so that stronger missions would come back. ltc mission lvl1...
Also, how does the "even playing field" system work, if there is one. Is there an averaging of USS ships levels so to make it even, enemy streight changes? While I was recapturing my assigment, bringing them back to lltc lvl1, people complained I was ruining it because they could not fight. I was too strong and them to weak and they got blown to bits, had to do all the work... But I must point out I was waiting for the reset instead of wasting time flying, I was alone and they got in and complained.
Anyway, that's all for now. This post if just iddle talk about what I have experienced so far with a few suggestions.
