In common with the other forums, Missions & Exploration will be having a bit of a spring-clean in the near future.
Included in this will be a review of the rules for Missions & Exploration, so if you have any suggestions or any sites or threads you wish to highlight to be added to a resource thread, now is your chance.
Please post below with any rule change, new rule submission or resource.

First of all, I think that the official mission guide is incredible.
Here is a good resource about data centers (aka how to get fast faction standings with isk/tags): http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Data_Center_Agents
I don't think you'll get any suggested rule changes, missions are pretty boring and the missions forum reflects that :) |

Edited by: syphurous on 12/06/2008 05:02:25 Anyway you could get a web programmer to code something up to read this forum and pick out the popular links, and then apply them to a list of my "linked" in a sticky ?
The various guides, like the probing one, and the links to sites such as Eve Survival, Eve Agents, etc could do being in a sticky.
"Agent Mission, COSMOS and Complex Resources" needs an update, its 2 years old.

I'd suggest inclusion of mission setups, to save hopefully us all from the endless Raven and Dominx setup threads both here and in "Ships"
To what end I suggest these as being included in the resource sticky :
Dominix Raven
Exploration Exploration quick guide (is one page with a nice short table on probe ranges for those like me with a goldfish memory)
Mission Guides

I would like infos on how the analyzer and hacking modules run. All guides only show how to find explo sites, kind of sites, but nuts on the mechanism of analyzer and hacking tool. Do those tools only work in COSMOS missions ?
thx

First of all let me make something very clear, I am a carebear. I most evenings/weekends do lvl 4 missions with my corp mates or solo.
I have no interest in Empyrean Age or loosing my stuff in pointless PVP.
I enjoy having 2 billion ISK in my wallet with a hanger full of expensive ships kitted out with T2/factional equipment at my disposal. Also I think its great my training time is cut down by the fact my head is full of implants.
I don't want to PVP, I am a PVE'er.
I run three accounts and each one has over 35 million skill points.
OK that's the background. Now for my impossible wish list.
1.Greater quantity of level 4 missions available 2.Harder level 5 missions available in high sec 3.Less repeats of same mission within same session 4.More variety of quests
I did a comparison between EVE and WOW with my wife who plays it. This is because this is another MMORPG popular currently.
She at her level 70 gets to choose from apx 50 zones (factional) in eve its 4. I.e. nagrand, duskwood, ironforge, as opposed to Amarr, caldari, Minmatar etc
She has approximately 1200 quests (missions) to choose from we from lvl 4 agents have 45. I.e. available between 60-70 on WOW.
She can choose which missions she wants to do, we do the ones offered or loose standing with agent. I know what your all going to say ôplay wow thenö but thats not the point I am trying to make. I dont want to play WOW, I want to play a better EVE.
If what I want is impossible and its just about the pvp/grief/loss that is in the heart of EVE then I am sorry it took me nearly 4 years to learn the lesson.

Did you read what the op asked for?
Back on topic... would like to see some sticky link where I can see what corporations offer in their loyalty stores, since you can't see that in game. Unfortunately I haven't seen anything like this so don't have link to offer up.
In terms of rules for this forum, might be good if people put what level mission they are referring to in thread titles, rather than just "Worlds Collide help needed" or something. Normally it's L4 missions of course, but sometimes there is confusion.
And maybe a glossary since there is some terminology which is pretty much only used here like AE for Angel Extravaganza or WC for Worlds Collide.

Ok, you asked More stories Im with tropic35: more mission-stories would add some fun and (?) wouldnt cause the change of the game machine. More intelligence Ok, that would make the missions harder: Give the NPCs some more tactics. E.g. why can I take all the aggro and let my drones kill them all ? That makes it comfortable for me, but that is sometimes too easy. Though, there are still some hard missions WITH this stupid property Or let them use drones. Uaah ! Other types of missions Give us missions with some riddles or puzzles, perhaps in combination with fights. Not insolvable. Think at the useless ship logs. They could be used. Refresh of NPCs after the downtime Thats a nice tool to generate money, but in my opinion, thats a bug. For this theme: The refresh of the mining-missions: Though you have collected most of the ore before the downtime and didnt finished the mission, you'll have to mine the complete amount of the ore after the downtime. I think thats a bug, too. Standings I saw that in another thread: It is very hard to get a good reputation without fighting skills. Believe it or not, although combat is an important and challenging task in the game, it is not the only one. So, a real trader or miner, who isnt interested in training these skills ( alt or not alt ), can't reach a really good standing or only with countless missions. For these types of missions: Please don't increase the level only by increasing the transported amount of goods or ore. Make a brainstorm for other tasks. Perhaps collecting a couple of things and build the needed good or whatever.
If your unsure now: I love your missions ! :) Tak

My principle concern with exploration is in regards to the 'Unknown' "complex" type sites. There seems to be a fair bit of disparity between the various sites, yet they all look the same on the front cover. After probing and clearing a fair number of them, I feel like the "new" content was mashed together with the "static" plexes of olde in a way that really doesn't feel very natural. In fact, it's quite obvious that several generations of content have been funneled down in to one common system.
The end result is a very generic probing system which is used to narrow down a wide variety of very different plexes. Even after weeks of clearing these things, I don't really understand the difference between an Unknown which has a "DED x/10" greeting on the front door, and one that doesn't. And from asking lots of questions in a wide variety of mediums (alliance, corp, help channels, these forums), it's quite evident to me that the majority of Eve doesn't understand this either. I just hit a "DED 6/10." How is that same/different from the "Blood Raider Base" I did yesterday? Can it escalate? Will it escalate? Can it spawn a commander? Will it?
If you're serious about cleaning up exploration content, perhaps it's time to sit down and decide on *one* system for anomalies and one system for unknown signatures, and stick to them. If if you are still endeared to the "DED 10" rating system, then consolidate all unknown cosmic signatures under that convention. If you had reasonable cause to abolish the "DED 10" system when you implemented the rating-less encounter system, then finish what you started and remove the "DED" plexes completely.

This may be something for the whole forum and not just this section....
It would be nice to have some 'tags' you can put on your thread, and then be able to include/exclude threads in the overview by those tags.
For this forum group I think obvious tags could be: Ship Setup Mission Guide Exploration Guide Faction War Agents Help Requests (and maybe others.....)
The tags would be static per forum group (but different).

I had hoped it would be ingame items you were looking for, but as a mission runner myself I would like to be able to select my missions from a mission console rather then the here is you next one option.
Also selecting more then 1 mission at a time for a given agent would be nice to allow for more time fighting missions and less time docking up to get new ones.
After that I would love to see "STICKIED" guides in the mission forum for running scanners, what kinds of sites, how and when to use codebreakers and other tools most people have no clue on till they are in the middle of it without one . Ship fitting guides for missions would also be nice as well as the "this rat type does this damage" for the new guys as the veteran players have already figured that part out.
I would never want to see level 5's moved from low sec to high sec as it would make farming faction a lot easier and thats one thing I don't really like to see, unless you want faction things to be more in game.
This may not be the place, but faction equipment needs to be looked at. The CN launchers are actually better then the tech 2 versions, but the AN pulses arn't as soon as you take 1 level in the spec skill (they need a 10% dam bonus to compete).
Just a few things off the top of my head |

Edited by: Nonmemaga on 30/06/2008 19:53:57 Republic Fleet Agents are in terrible locations. All the good Agents with High Quality are in low sec. Compared to Caldari & Galente Navy missions, this is unfair.
In the above Races you can easily get a high-quality level 3 or 4 Agent in high-sec. This is not the case with Minmatar and the Republic Fleet. It seems all high-quality agents are in low sec. Please change this to make it fair as compared to the other races. (Not sure about Amarr)
This is a big imbalance that needs to be addressed.

As the bits and pieces from the disintegrated station charge into space, carrying the news of heightened entropy in the universe, your instruments receive an unusual message. It obviously is being transmitted from a Sansha ship and even though the person on the other end does not introduce himself as such, there is no doubt that this is the voice of one of those facistic Sansha *****s who have "True Power" printed on their undies. He demands talking in a closed channel and after you have establised one, he continues with some congratulations on your brave victory and then he gives you an offer; If you go to three different locations he provides, assassin the Sansha leaders operating there and gather all loot you find for him, he will pay you one billion ISK. He then gives you coordinates to a location in a "take it or leave it" manner, before saying farewell and adds that he will contact you after this first target is destroyed.
make sure you get the info right in this case there should be a line called the 1 who gets the expedition has to kill the last named 1 alone otherwise you wont get the next expedition site

Hi Mitnal,
I see many posters have ignored your request and posted changes they want to see in game! Anyway, may be a bit late for this, but as requested here are three suggestions for links in the sticky:
EVE-Survival: http://eve-survival.org/wikka.php?wakka=HomePage
This is now the best place by far to look up missions and plan for encounters. No other mission resource site is a patch on this.
Orekaria's NPC Damage Calculator: http://eve.orekaria.com/targets.aspx
I've found this to be a great site to work out how much damage to expect in missions. Simply add the number of mission drones and hit the 'report 2' button to get full Em / Exp / Kin / Therm damage breakdown. You can save NPC groups (for example L4 Recon 2 of 3) and there is also a handy (but incomplete) pre-compiled mission list to work from.
Derived standings changes http://www.newedenlibrary.net/eon/faction_standings.shtml
I worked this up for my EON missions guide and the link gets posted quite often. There is an accompanying page providing details of how standings are calculated.
Originally by: Vaal Erit First of all, I think that the official mission guide is incredible.
Thanks! Most of the info in there was taken from my EON mission guide, though it has been updated to refect game changes since the EON guide was written. Which reminds me... I really do need to update and post my guide...
Cheers, Arrs

I would like a sticky for a mission creation guide (was discussed in another forum, havn't found a link yet).
A place where players can get info on the following: 1: How to create a guide (design and/or implementation). 2: What tools are required (if any, might be notepad is enough). 3: Where or who to send the mission suggestion to. 4: Inspiration and support of how to make missions. |

More of a question than suggestion, but why is cloaking allowed inside deadspace? I can't help but notice that some complexes are farmed by individuals who run them a few times until they start dropping weak or no loot, after which they afk a cloaked character inside or near the entrance, thus preventing it from despawning. A few hours later, they move the cloaked character and let the complex respawn, scan it, rinse and repeat.
So beside the above, what purpose does cloaking serve in combat missions and complexes? |

Bring back the ship logs - but for non static DED plexes.
i.e. small chance of drop, however nice reward if you manage to get one.
