Can we have more variety in industrial missions?
TL;DRThey want more industrial mission variety, such as mining claims, scouting missions and quality-based requests once crafting exists, and are hopefully bringing a mission giver back later this year; current missions are only the foundation.
Yeah, so when we do some missions like this, we try to go at it and be scalable, so that as we build more and more systems and more and more locations, these missions can populate into other systems and always give players something to do. So our first delivery was that. It was something that was scalable, that was fun and open, that players can sort of choose how they come at it. However, we definitely want to keep adding to it and have things like Shubin asking you to go mine their mining claim. They own this mining claim. They own these pieces of rock. They've given you exclusive rights and they want you to go there and mine it for them. We want Battaglia back and we want her to have missions where she's sending you to go do scouting missions. So you don't have to mine the rocks, but she goes, I need you to find me 10 rocks that contain iron. And in the future when crafting comes online, it's like, I want you to find me 15 that have a quality over the value of 400 or something like that. So we definitely want more variety in our industrial missions, because what we've got right now is the base level, it's the foundation of industrial missions. It's the idea of: this location wants a bunch of resources, you choose how to get them. You use whatever tools are at your sandbox control to do it, whatever tools Torsten gives you, and then you look inward for the fun.
You mentioned Battaglia. We're working to bring Battaglia back, hopefully, later this year.
We are. We're working very hard. I have been reviewing the stuff we've been building for it and it's very fun.
We've experimented with mission givers however long ago, and then they fell to the wayside because of other priorities and stuff like that. But being able to bring back mission givers will be a nice new addition to that kind of stuff, because you can only look at a mobiGlas so much.
