escort missions about to pack up.

Escort missions have got to the going to silly places and paying peanuts point. A reset would be much appreciated.

In what way is this a bug?

A comparison. Lets imagine that all the juicy high paying corporate law cases dried up and that all that was left were defending shoplifters and messy divorce cases.

In what way would that bug lawyers ?

Clearly the bug is that the missions are inconsistent, and that a reset helps keep the game going until such time as the devs get an opportunity to fix the problem.

I could ask if you have some specific instance in which you believe the game has failed to function as intended, rather than merely functioning in a way you find undesirable, but I'll leave such matters for the Devs seeing as how this is not (despite the substance of your post) the Suggestions forum.

Uhm Lecter, you got no clue how escorts are supposed to work, do you? :P

It's a returning bug since ages. It just wasn't very well known because back in time, momerath42 was there to reset the escorts.

It has been giving shit payouts for about 8 months now, from my experience. I think this is in order.

Do you people seriously not inspect the cargo of every voy you take as it undocks and abort those that will give crap payouts? I actually completed a voy rather than pirating it some days ago and for a medium hop from UIT into Odia it was somewhere close to 300k - think it was ADV rails.

If there's a bug with escorts, it's the fact that EVERY convoy trident is too full for an escorting pilot to ever dock for R&R or gunnery.

Well, if you made room to dock, they wouldn't carry any cargo. Damn NPC Tridents still only have ~300cu of space...

Thanks for the reset devs.

Convoys actually do break from time to time Lecter. You can tell because not only are ALL the missions crappy, but you will notice a sudden lack of automated convoys in space too.

Oh, just like now :)

Can we get another reset?
