Missions I''d like to see. Any others?
Ok, first of all, I haven't played nearly as much of the game as it sounds like the rest of you have. I played the demo until I reached a high enough level to get kicked, and I only bought the game 3 days ago and haven't logged many hours. But, I think I have gotten a general idea of the different types of missions available, and thought I would post some of my wishes for types of missions that should have been included, and could possibly be included in future mods, add-ons, etc.
Having said that, perhaps some of these mission types already exist and I just haven't seen them yet. Let me know.
Here's my ideas:
- Personnel transport: similar to the job that Han and Chewie took in Mos Eisley to transport some old guy and his whiney companion to Alderaan. Could be fun to have to "smuggle" a secret agent onto an enemy's base, or provide safe transport of a dignitary to a planet.
- Cargo or equipment search: mission would require you to search for a particular artifact or peice of equipment in a debris field or something. Of course you have to fend off any attackers and make it back safely with the object.
- Message delivery: an important message must be delivered to so-and-so on such-and-such a base/planet/ship/etc.
- Courier service: similar to message delivery, but would involve a package of some sort and would have a time requirement on it. Perhaps the time it takes would reflect how much you get paid (Faster = More Credits).
- Recon: required to scout out a particular location or base for any particular faction. You would have to scout the location, gather the information, then return to the original person and deliver the info. Maybe more info = more credits, but that could be too ambigous to code.
Anyway, those are some of my ideas. Again, let me know if any of these missions already exist and what you think of my ideas. As far as I know (and again, I haven't played much) the only types of missions are kill a bunch of ships, or kill a certain person, or escort someone somewhere. Are there others?
Cheers!

) to rescue someone from a prison-base. The mission would have some sub-missions to solve, the reward could be an unique artifact or whatever. Supose a mission where you have to beat a battleship, or disable it and board it to capture someone or something. This would need a group of players to join and form a squad. Fun!.
