How early would you call this mission in its development? Would it be classed as tier 0, tier 1, tier 2, or do you even class them as such?asked by TheDetox

TL;DRThey don't tier missions; this one is ready for release, but missions are always works in progress, with the ship loan, rooftops and underground facilities likely to get more work.

We don't tend to class missions like that. I mean, this is ready for a release. Obviously, we've been talking about the fact that the ship is not lent to you in the correct way. We'll obviously have to go back and address that. The rooftops themselves, maybe that's not classed as the mission, but I tend to class it as that, the rooftops may get some more love. The UGFs will get some more love and many more varieties. We don't tend to really tier missions in that way. Like I said, it relies on so many other things.

Yeah, exactly. Missions are always a work in progress.

All of them are. Back in the Star Citizen 2.0 days, when these all went in and were built in Flowgraph, like the Tessa Bannister missions and the security guard at Kareah, and all the bounty hunting missions, PvP and stuff like that, they were all built in Flowgraph. Then when it came to turn them into Subsumption, we had to cut a few, or just obviously focus again on the ones that gave us the most bang for buck. Obviously, Subsumption is here to stay, thankfully. We won't be doing anything like that again, but a huge thing could change in the tech that means that we have to rethink them or rewrite them or something like that. So I'm never going to say that anything's done until the game's done.

Gareth BournMission Designer

Yeah, I'm the type of person to always push to keep things growing.
