Completed a "Scrapyard" mission and was presented with this line of text:

"Great!. 2 'crated' delivered..."

Bye the way, I thought that the reward for finishing the "scrapyard" mission had
been increased. I bring in 70+ crates and get no bonus or anything? What a
RIP-OFF!!!

Actually there is an extra bonus for completing the scrapyard mission now. Due to the way the game recieves the data tho its sometimes out of order, eg it appears BEFORE the reward info for the last cargo you bring in to complete the mission.

Looks like its about + 1 Trade XP per 2 crates and a small additional reputation gain.

I got +6 reputation and something like 300 trade xp for delivering 68 crates. I am now at, uhh, +974 with Itani? Something like that.

Were any of you getting the verbose error when you completed the mission? I didn't get it with any other mission but "Scrapyard"

Just wondering if anyone else was.

Thanks.

I received the verbose error during the scrapyard mission.

No verbose error messages for me during "scrapyard" missions.
Just occasionally at the end of regular cargo missions...

Am i the one to see that scrap yard mission is a total unbalanced/useless/ridiculous mission at this moment?

why wasting hours and hours to collect scrap metal to gain a total crap rewards?

1 transport cargos mission give same
it take around 3 minutes.

how many time you spent to have 68 scrap metal?
hours?...

Players doing Scrap Yard mission spent a lot of time and they are killing bots without any combat licence pts gained.

killing bots should give combat licence (without combat mission). around 1-20 pts per kill instead of the current gain = light and heavy weapon licence only.

example :
NPC trader = 1 pts combat licence
Dentek collector = 10 pts
Tycorps assault = 15pts
...

that will balance the missions.

combat mission still the fastest way to increase your combat licences. coz it give rewards.

transport cargos mission still the fastest way to increase your standing faction (in grey space) and gaining a good trade licence.

scrap yard will be an alternate and could be a reason for pirate to live.

heh, the scrapyar mission is a great additional mission for new players. Collect your scrap while botting and store it somewhere. then when you have enough, take the scrap mission for a fast XP/Cash/Rep gain.

i used to do it when Scrap yard came out Spellcast.

Mission combat + collecting scrap metal in serco station.

i can tell you it s usless.

have you already tried it?

i stocked my scrap metals and moved it to corvus station.
took a lot of time to move it. once i moved all of it into the corvus station.
did the scrap yard mission. 220 scrap metal and i won only around 15 pts corvus standing and maybe 1000 pt of trading and some moneys.

spent a lot of time to move my scrap metals to corvus.
Better to do transport cargos missions than wasting time to collect it or move it. really it's far far far faster.

btw there is no reason to do the scrap yard mission in ur own nation. Why? coz you start already around 700+ standing and it's easy to win standing (killing bot 0.6 per bot / transport cargos mission)

i dunno why there are so big difference btw mission and w/o mission.

missions are supposed to give rewards. (standing + bonus combat or trade or mining | depends what missions you did))

_ so killing bots w/o mission should increase the combat skill also.

_ remove the standing gain when you kill bots w/o mission taken.
