Thank you to everyone who's sent me bugs and suggestions for the mission chains. Now that they're on live, some of the changes I've put in based on suggestions will need to wait for a patch, others for next reset. Here are some of the changes:

Added live:
  • wattages that did not drop the commod for the Arena missions now drop the commod.
  • zeus lackey spawn has been increased

For next patch:
  • Various typos fixed
  • travel tweak prize has been made repeatable and the tweak has been modified
  • prize for killing the hive in the arena chain has been increased to 4 shards

For reset:
  • Missions moved to their own instance inside olympus so you will not get locked out of the missions if you've killed an olympus boss
  • Arena mission commod drops added to wild and EF layer ai
  • Zeus lackey ambush in the end of the universe has been modified

Not sure if theres anything u can do about it, but when I'm doing the keryx mission chain, in blue photon, I keep hitting the regular ai while trying to target the ares warriors, which means I cant dock at the ai station because of agro.

I can't 100% confirm this, but it looks like we're putting the new instance for the t21 missions bases in at the next patch instead of reset.

For the zeus lackey in EoTU issues, we've modified them to spawn in 2 waves instead of all together and they're spawning farther apart from each other. Let me know if this is still giving problems and we can get a more permanent modification in for next reset. I do want these to remain fairly difficult, but definitely killable.

I'll look into what's going on with the collision code in blue photon processing. You shouldn't be accidentally hitting the blue photon ai unless you are already aggro to them or have targeted them. Does this happen every time? What class are you playing? What weapons are you using? The more info we have, the easier it will be to figure out why this is happening.

Its only happened twice, I'm gunner class using ACALs and AP missiles in a dread. It's possible I accidentally targeted them.

Another thing I just ran across, I completed the mission that gives you the 1 of 4 letters. Had keryx though I doubt it matters which, but instead of going to the messanger base I accidentally warped out of the gal, unknown to me till then, the letters are destroyed with the jump. So now I have to wait 24hrs before I can do the next mission which is ridiculous for a little mistake. I understand you probably dont want people stockpiling letters (not sure why someone would) but instead of making them decay on warp, give them a 24hr halflife. That way I can warp in and out of olympus with the letter, although I personally won't be making that mistake again.

Collisions in Blue Photon Processing seem to be fine - if anyone else has had this happen, let me know.

About the decay of the letter. I realize this is a problem and I've been looking for a good solution to this. I would like to give them a half-life, but unfortunately mission items and half lives are not compatible. For the time being I'm going to take the decay on jump off, but if people are stockpiling them and then using them to do nefarious things I will reconsider making them decay on jump.

What about making them a commod instead of a mission item?

theres too many bugged hives, to find a normal one is impossible

To continue giving some feedback. This is what people I've talked to have said basically.

Keryx mission chain is good, fun and worthwhile.

Aktaion is also alright and the time it takes, while longer than Keryx is still reasonable.

Arena master (cant remember his name), its ok but finding the ai takes too long, mainly drops is what ppl complain about and finding an unbugged hive, as mentioned above.

Zosmois, ppl complain about this one most when its recieved, its ok if it was a 1 off chain, but the fact its a repeatable one, and you have to do it every time gets a pain in the neck. Only found 1 person who was bothered to complete the entire chain, maybe make the commds a little less costly seeing as its a daily mission.

That's all i've got for feedback so far, all in all thnx for doing this for us col + others. You've no idea how much the ss community thank you!

Keryx mission chain, when hermes spawns the hermes rams you have to kill, if you warp out of the gal their in, they disappear, if you tractor hermes, more then spawn again, not sure if that's intentional.
