or we could just go and find the mission and start them as soon as it's in!

So the code is already implemented! Should definately be possible. _________________ ~DarkSteel / Auxilium Universe Map: http://www.starsonata.com/map/ |

Seriously consider a much more severe punishment for not killing the aliens during alien invasions.
If you don't kill the aliens, they should start wreaking havoc on peasant populations and stuff. _________________ http://www.starsonata.com/suggestions Last edited by MasterTrader on Tue Sep 09, 2014 3:51 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Especially in a game context, punishing players collectively for failure to do something individually is a very weak way to incentivize a given action. Ultimately, if players aren't having fun they simply won't play. _________________ Hi, I'm Anil, a long-time player turned developer.

However, it's not that big a project to make reality so I've gone ahead and done that today -- we have a new boss action that lets them hand out a mission to all the players in the galaxy. I'm adding a repeating phase to the boss so that every 60 seconds, if you're in the same galaxy, he'll try to give you his kill mission. Calypso _________________ "My name isn't Slick. It's Zoidberg!

Maybe being in the gal when the boss dies should also be sufficient to complete the mission. I am already foreseeing a lot of issues where players don't have aggro for whatever reason and then don't get credit for the kill.

Ultimately, if players aren't having fun they simply won't play. Taking a step back and thinking about it, I realize you're 100% right. My suggested approach was from the wrong direction. How about completing the mission to kill this thing results in a temporary positive bonus to colony productivity and profitability on that character/account/team then? This way there is a positive incentive to kill it. _________________ http://www.starsonata.com/suggestions |

If they don't want to play because they suffered the consequences then let them go. You shouldn't be able to freely afk while colonies bring you an infinite source of money.

When the alien boss dies, I think there could be a global, temporary buff to worker speed and colony suitability as the entire civilized universe is celebrating.
