Academy missions should have more varied destinations
« on: April 17, 2021, 03:41:14 AM »
I'm not certain it is the case for everyone, but in both my play-through all the Academy missions sent me to the same region of the map all the time (and both time it was the top left corner). It would have been nicer to be able to visits other areas with systems I didn't already cleaned up on my first trip.

This, In two saves Sebestyn has sent to the top left of the map and basically nowhere else more times than I can count.

In my case, his first VIP escort mission sent me to Tri-Tachyon capital in Hybrasil, then the next VIP one at some League world in the northwest.

Yeah this is the same case here, nearly all of the missions were at the same systems and in the top left corner.

Yeah, frequently half the missions would go to the same system that's been cleared over and over...

About half go to the same system yes, its a bit head scratching. I always just thought there must be something going on in that region...

The same happened to Nemo Naemo in his Twitch streams. It started to irritate him a bit.

For me, it seemed like if I took a bunch of missions at the same time, they would all be in the same system, but that system wasn't always the same.

I started a modded playthough as Great Houses, in "Lethia" that is on some corner of the map.

While still in Lethia, I got some a bar mission to find a cache on a specific system.

I couldn't  defeat the cache guards, so I went to Galatia get my money quests ;)

Sebastian gave me 4 missions for the cache system!

After I did all 4 missions, and went for more missions, eh gave me 3 missions on that system again, and 1 in a neighbour system.

Seriously what is the obession with that specific system?

It feels like the missions are restricted to a sector of the map. 1st playthrough it was NW, now its SE.

btw anyone else gets bounties in the same systems over and over? It feels like there are few systems that have 80% of the bounties I get from contacts/missions. I remember a similar thing happening with the IBB bounties in 0.9.1
