For instance cartel listening station... You are able to complete the objective within the first 2 minutes. This leaves u 4 1/2 minutes to just fly around and do nothing (unless u think killing ships that give 7exp actually matter). Edited January 19, 2012 by Talsalus

Killing the RIGHT ships will give you a whole hell of a lot more credits and exp.

I'm talking about after u kill everything.. all bonuses and normal objectives. Then there is nothing left but the enemy ships

Nowhere in the world is the mission over when your objectives are complete. You still need to evacuate the area without dying. This is true for any combat scenario you could ever imagine, ever. Absolutely no reason to implement what you're suggesting.

Can't tell if serious...

 

 

 

To the OP: Agreed.

Reduce XP and increase money instead, for time is money. As one poster said so beautifully here last week.

 

I do not like all these ideas advocating the skipping and jumping and porting out of content, for that is the gateway to MAGICAL PORTALPLACE. But I sure like my credits like the next fellow. So more bang for the buck, that's the best incentive around.

Right.

 

Which explains why we keep making attack runs on a space station which has had every single targetable objective destroyed. Guess one of the directives is to do self-congratulatory fly-bys for 4 minutes, yeah?

 

Fortunately unlike yourself, Bioware are aware the space missions can be improved

 

Not that I particularly dislike them.

the key is its balanced around that.... cos that makes you ''challenge'' to survive longer on enemy fire....

 

simple as that

either end them when objectives are completed (including bonus)... or give another bonus that will last long enough till the time runs out

Right.

Improving space missions != succumbing to the extreme laziness pointed out in this thread.

Whats next? Auto quest completion when you meet objectives? Never have to return to a quest hub? How about automatically spawning a class trainer next to you the instant you level up? Or popping up a mailbox? The laziness never ends with you entitlement generation folks.

Because 4 minutes of flying around on rails just adds so much to the experience, am I right?

 

Please.

There's more stuff to do than just the main objective.

great ideas!! we can finally use those holocoms we have.. also put a MB in my damn ship

(Read: "Personal Holocommunicator" prompt in-game).

And what? Reduce FlashPoint difficulty? Instant travel? UBER COMPANIONS PERHAPS?

 

Please. As if we needed to dumb the game's difficulty even further.

Well yes, that just so happens to be one of the objectives. And it's quite enjoyable.

Bonuses can often (not always) be completed even before the main objectives, unless they are tied to specific scripted events which don't take place until some minutes into the mission.

How would my suggestion dumb down the games difficulty? It would just speed up the process of completing the same daily that we've done multiple times.

For instance cartel listening station... You are able to complete the objective within the first 2 minutes. This leaves u 4 1/2 minutes to just fly around and do nothing (unless u think killing ships that give 7exp actually matter).

 

Please take your ADHD medicine.

 

 

 

 

This is a horrible idea.

Would be nice. Currently once I get the objective done I just alt tab out and surf the internet, occasionally tabbing back in to see if I've died or not.

speeding up = dumbing down. Instant teleports to Flashpoints, Fleet pass, etc etc.. Convenience only goes so far, then it becomes deliberate dumbing down.

It's not dumbing down to eliminate four minutes of pointless content. It doesn't make the content easier, it just makes it less of a chore.

 

Convenience =/= Dumbing Down.

I like this idea. It would give me a reason to do space missions at max level.

I wouldn't say laziness, but ask yourself these questions:

 

1. Haven't you ever wondered why we can only use our Holocrons at certain points instead of being able to remotely turn in quests?

 

2. Why do we have to go to a trainer to learn a new skill, when we should have been learning all along?

 

My answers

 

1. Because you need to be there in person to get physical loot. So I would suggest allowing players to turn in their quests remotely, but any gear/loot they get other than credits are mailed to the player - on a 30 min delay.

 

2. I like to think that we could learn all the skills up front, but only at the required level would they actually do full damage, as it takes us practice to fully utilize the skills.
