In Progress

These are some random ideas for improving the Commonwealth Fleet missions:

01: Recon Ares Station

  • Recon should be based on absolute distance, not just painting on the screen. Otherwise we're penalizing players with smaller monitors.
  • We should paint a radius to indicate how close the player needs to get.

LL01: Collect Lamplighter ROM (Juan Carlos Mission)

  • If Juan Carlos is killed, docking with the wreck should show something (perhaps a death scene for Juan Carlog).
  • If Juan Carlos is killed, the debriefing should be different. Also, perhaps the player gets fewer XP.

New Mission Ideas

  • A more advanced recon mission in which the player needs to linger within a radius for some period of time.
  • A recon mission in which the player must drop scanning probes (or something) and needs to defend them for a period of time.

I have had a game where two Recon Ares Station missions were run one after the other on the same commune. It worked fine but maybe the screen desc texts could be changed so the mission says "We need you to do another recon..." if the same station is selected twice in a row.

A mission that trains for the MRAD mission might be interesting as well.
