What milestones are left to create dymanic missions?asked by ZeonEmpire
TL;DRThe developer says the mission UI and logic must be converted from Flash to Building Blocks, Quantum is only starting to feed simulation data into the Dynamic Mission Service, and more sophisticated dynamic events are already being built.
One of the larger remaining issues relates to the fact that the current mission UI and associated logic aren't able to deal with real-time parameters and need to be converted from Flash to Building Blocks. This is also related to why more Service Beacons haven't been introduced, as UI development with the old system is far slower than with the new tech. Quantum is starting to inject some of its simulation data into the back-end services, which the Dynamic Mission Service requires to make these customized missions available, but the first stages involve only a few distinct types of scenarios. Dynamic Events, on the other hand, are routed through the same system and are a bit more mature, and the first demonstration of that tech was last Spring's Fleet Week, which was activated for only a brief period of time and which existed across all servers. We're already in the process of constructing more of these dynamic scenarios, some of which are far more sophisticated.
