Mission problems ...this game is one big paradox.

Post by unknown1 »

Ok so this is becoming really frustrating now. Found a mission that wants me to pick up a manager and deliver him to a certain station. And that's it .
Doesn't give me any clue as to where I can find one. I've spent the last 3 hours trying to understand how missions work. It's so tedious to do anything in this game. Nothing is clear , mission briefing just confuses me more than helping me.


There is no incentive to play this game , not even a clue where to start of seeking the story or get some missions.

This game is a big paradox so far, just like the advertisings from companies who want to hire people.
They all want people with at least 2 year experience...problem is experience involves getting hired first , get trained and accumulate it. Like wtf?
Looks like a game that is still in alpha , only the devs who designed the stuff know what to do and how to do even the simplest missions.

At least put a small PS line at the end of the mission description ,like " you have to travel to any station and walk around till you find a manager . Then chat with him and tell him about your mission etc etc" . The only option I have when talking to people is :" how can I reach a guild representative" or something like that .

It gets frustrating fast, I am considering asking a refund.

Hi unknown1,

Mission guides are usually an oranege colour in the form of an arrow or target bounding box on your hud.

You need to locate these and follow their suggestions.

Any crewman can be turned into a manager, you will have to use a seminar to train it though

Yes, I have found three missions so far to hire a manager. Two level 3's and a lvl 5. Also a mission to hire a Pilot 3 and an Engineer 3/3. Only ever found so far an Engineer 2/2. These missions suck :doh:

Can someone give instructions to "module information requered" mission? I need to get information about "teladi brige defence platform", i scaned whole station with 2 or 3 of them - nothing happends. Do i need to find "signal" on that module which unlocks it to build ?
