Why do event missions keep using a bunch of smaller boxes for the mission size instead of the larger ones?
TL;DREvent missions use smaller boxes so every player's ship can take part, based on average ship size, and this is temporary until players can choose box sizes themselves.
Did we rewind to the conversation me and Torsten just had a couple of minutes ago? Same thing, I'll go over it again. So when we do an event, we make it for everybody. We want it to engage every type of player we have, because we have so many different types of players. And one of the fun things about events, and we saw it with Alliance Aid, is all of these people from different walks of life coming together, right? Everyone being in this station in Levski, running around, all doing their little bits, whether they're going out to go murder a load of Moraine Gang, or maybe they're transporting goods. So with that, we look at the average ship size that's owned by players, and the SCU comes out around 8 SCU. So we sometimes go lower than 8, sometimes we stay at 8, but we don't want to give really big boxes, because then some people can't engage in some form or fashion. But that's only a temporary thing we're doing until the system Torsten was on about comes online, where you can choose the size of your box. Because that means in the future, when we do these missions, we're just going to tell you how much SCU we need at the end destination, and how you split that up into box sizes is completely up to you as the player doing this.
