Viral Missions

... just going to be a while, first we need the new gc engine, or wait 6-9 months to write it in the old engine, which im presuming then another 3 months of beta testing it.

... Note: new engine writing will take time and money, both of which i think will take 6-12 months ...

I agree marus and collective should have first hand before virals, its just that meh, more virals these days ...

Higs, the mods will have to change if virals go tax me thinks, as on RT, you have to hunt the market for good food pricing as even tbk has said, which i hate to admit is right on that part, even though he complaisn about it

"ever since viral was created, after the Terren/Aminer days. It has always said "This Alien Race does not have a mission just yet" since day 1 of there creation. "

marauders are an older race then virals and have no missions yet either.
hopefully 1.07 will bring missions to all the races

well, i dont mind the mission for Viral as each race should get its own mission.

but, what i care is, the goal of the missions. the missions should related to the change (nerfed?) of Viral.

example:
free tech X lv of housing after that VIral had research a certain lv of housing tech. this will force them to be tax-baed n no longer depend on commeircal

.... *wish i could work full time for mission writing now*

Uhm Questirians, no offense, but have you seen Fast lately? two freaking terrans with 39 and 128 some odd planets are richer or almost by 5 billion or so as a freaking 650 some odd planet viral ... but maybe they have more time in research, so i cant do any calculations only spectate that they are killing me sometimes with their god nirv, herc spams ...

But yes on most other servers i have to agree, im just unlucky on Fast atm ...

*goes back to do Economics for Dummies College Edition*

*then will write missions later* ... would be fun to have new missions added in once a month or something

lol honey, but i agree w/ accord. Virals do need missions, although they are way too powerfull.......... so do collectives! it would make the game so much more interesting

oh and yeah more missions for all races would be a huge + in my book!!

Quest most of the high ranks are strictly for virals to battle nowadays and once in a while for a guard to come up and careful smack his way up which isn`t too hard... they aren`t equal to any other race no... but they don`t necassarily ruin the game for any other players much at all other then maintaining the high ranks which are made for them and maybe drying out the market once in a while which the terrans and miners do as well... plus if i had a guard account with as much as i put into my viral i would be up here dominating the high ranks just as much trust me...

more missions for all races would be a big + to the game

my opinion, virals have made a big imbalance in the game they are simply to powerful compaired to any other race. what other race can do a uw from under 2-300 mil pr and not be online half the time and uw still blows?. that is a pipe dream for any other race.. even things up just a little and take away capture rate on sb or borrs 1 or the other not both.. virals are the only 1 race i had some troubles with cuz u never know what they have. the fact they can choose from all the best ships and leetch fleet off others makes them 2 strong.. bring them down a notch and level the playing field, take away capture on sb

Maru should be the first race to have missions. They been waiting for missions for like 3 1/2 years

Well Marau... i think missions around the whole spectrum of species would be appreciated and give gc just that much more depth...

* would rather see marauder and collective missions before crumy viral *

Some lovely ideas here guys... any missions would be decent as long as they aren`t lame like terran where you have to research Com even if it`s not your means of income\resources =P

/me pushs Varna outta the way

"when its coming your guess is as good as mine"-Etenus.

Never :)

when is this GC update

"The GC full update should implement this mode into GC as to when its coming your guess is as good as mine"-Etenus. Gotta love brutal honesty.At least we don`t have to listen to the "my comp fried and i didn`t back anything up" or "i had to go to my sisters wedding for 2 months" excuses anymore lol

Writing the mission is the easy part uploading them is not as simple as just C+Ping code from sections and changing bits all of GC`s missions are hard coded into the source meaning changes would have to be implemented into the source which would be no easy feat at all. This is opposed to UC missions which are a seperate entity which can be modified without directly modifying any source. The GC full update should implement this mode into GC as to when its coming your guess is as good as mine

Have 40lvl of infrastructure, like 20lvl for terran maybe?

you could have objectives such as

-Have level 40 in either commercial or tax.

^this would allow people to choose, and the mission breif would explain the benefits of each way... etc
