Thread: Mission Terminals?
There are 2 types of missions available via the artisan mission terminals: survey, and crafting.
1. To complete a survey mission, you need to find a resource, say for the purpose of this explanation its solid petro fuel, that has a concentration of usually 60-70% or higher a minimum of 1024m from the mission terminal. While it may take some time to find a lucrative spot, you can run the same mission type over and over until the resources shift. I.e. if you find a 85% concentration of solid petro fuel 1100m from the mission terminal, you can keep selecting solid petro fuel missions until the resources shift (just have to resurvey every time you get out to your waypoint in order to trigger the payment).
2. Crafting missions are very similar to the delivery missions with one caveat . . . you have to build something. To complete a crafting mission, select a crafting missionfrom the terminal, go to the waypoint it generates for you. The NPC will provide you with the parts, schematic and waypoint for the delivery. Between the first and second waypoint, you need to assemble the item and gain a small amount of xp for doing so.
Tips:
Surveying missions:
- find several locations that are 70% concentrations or higher so you have more options at the mission terminals.
- make sure the resource you're surveying for is on your planet (just openning your survey tool will tell you if you can find a certain material type)
- for maximum payout without having to switch survey tools, select the same resource class, or even better the same resource type
Crafting missions:
- the higher paying missions are generally out of city limits, for the most efficient credit generation, select 2 missions going to the same city. When you get to your new city, get 2 crafting missions back to where you came from, wash, rinse, repeat.
- craft the item while waiting for the shuttle. More often than not, you'll have a lot of down time waiting for the shuttle.
It only affects the payout.
Please post in the stickied thread on Mission Terminal issues. This way I can have the information I'll need to pass on.
