Dear Admins, You continue to say that Termites are fine, Well There not, I had a fully augged,for Shield regen and Offensive status. I had a charger, i had it all, This is beyond stupid. There is just about 2 termite mounds in each of my gals. Never before have i ever had such a problem with termites. 15 Termites spwned in less than a 3 day period. Not in one gal no, In couple. I have never seen such a mess. And there damage? just stupid, on a SM char, Full achillies charger etc...Died. Great. So let me get this right, You Admins hate base builders? And you hate the fact we make money off bases, Well im sorry, Take it out of the game if thats such a big problem. So you beef Termites to just under god status, and you make bases just above Shit. See the problem? Keep going like this and ill be gone, You avoid Fixing energies, and now termite mounds. How do you expect paying customers? Really.

With all due respect, you need no more manual dexterity to complete the missions than you do to play the rest of the game. And if lack that much dexterity, what are you doing even playing?

Sure, if you're just gonna race through the course straight forward without thought or imagination, then yeah, you need enough dexterity to pilot any speedy agile ship. But if you use some creativity, or communication skills, do some planning, you'll find the missions are easy for any class.

Try having a friend or two help out at certain points. Say, pre scooped keys, or pushing keys to you. And drifting along pre-marking the hard to spot gate, etc. Use tractors. Tweaks. I've done the missions for 4 classes now, and SD wasn't even the easiest.



The mission system _might_ have made sense with the old spawn rates. However even then, it's simply to easy to have several peeps sit in wing4's (or pods if they screw up) and get free skills. And now with no real waiting, and a saturated market, doing Bana is just another uber farming run, and anyone who want's to tag along for a free skill is welcome... Yeah, the commod system was restrictive, but it also _meant_ something to have weapons 20...

If they had just upped the respawn wait, it probably would have worked better, still keeping weapons 20 as meaningful, but more along the lines of Shields 20 use to be... Something you had to have some patience to get, but was immenantly attainable with patience and perserverence.

How deep is your gal?

Also, stop being so damn dramatic.

To Trev,

maybe try consolidating some bases? spreading yourself too thin might cause you to not be able to do the necessary healing dps or the needed killing dps to kill the mites before they kill your bases. might help you
out

BTW, i haven't seen any mound in our DF 200-300 galaxies yet...

i think all T20 skills should be chain missions like the engines 20. Make it a lill tougher to get and over all funner. I actually really enjoyed the engines 20 mission even tho it pissed me off in the process.
