Grouping Not Working

Jan 25, 2005 itsallOver link
Last night, while in a group, there was no available missions. Is there a requirement for total amount of group members before missions appear at stations? Sorry if this has been posted before. And thank you to anyone who could help.

The only group missions that are currently in the game are Advanced Combat & Border Patrol, AFAIK. They both require a certain combat license, and are not offered at all stations. If everyone in the group was too low licensed, then there might not be any missions listed, although be aware that if even 1 person did have the required licenses, they would be. And you need to have a certain faction standing for the missions to be offered as well, which may also be why you didn't see Advanced Combat listed.

Anyway, Group Missions are currently not worth it, IMO. They usually boil down to more work, less reward. It's been discussed often enough I think the devs know about it & will fix it soon(tm). Also, more group missions are often requested, and I hope we'll see more to chose from soon as well.

wasn't there a group cargo mission??? I swore I read that somewhere...

and yes shape you can do a border patrol mission also in a group, or at least I thought I remembered that

There was a suggestion to add a group cargo mision, but no such mission exists. There is also a group border patrol mission, but it's very hard to do. All group members need to be over 4/4/x/x and need to be in the same system (maybe even sector) when the mission is taken. Even with all of those reqs. filled, I couldn't get it to work last time I tried.

There is no Group cargo mission, but a group of people (not joined together in a Group), can group up and help one person do trade missions.

Aye, I got a nice hand from Solra Bizna with a Trade Guild Bulk delivery. I got the mission done in less time, and Solra got to PO the entire Itani strike force by darting all the way through Itani space without them managing to bring down the ship. We both had fun, so I say it was an unmigitated success for a group cargo mission, even if there's no official existance of one yet.

Now, If I could only get a good batch of crack miners for some extreme mining in bot space...
