Does anyone know why there is so many white missions? Are they have anything to do with rare bps?

What are the chances to get rare bps when you have better weapons? I am asking that cause one GM told me that doing white missions will increase my chances of getting rare bps.

Well there is 3 or 4 different rank per weapon type per star system. And there bp mission for each of them. Then there is kill missions for each type and rank of mantis. So no wonder why there is so many whitemissions to do

What are the chances to get rare bps when you have better weapons?

Better weapons dont increase chance for rare. Its amount of the enemys you kill. Think about it. For example, you kill 10 enemys and hope for rare. Well its just 10 chances for it. But if you kill 100 enemys, then its 100 chances for rares. So just go and kill kill kill and kill more here

I am asking that cause one GM told me that doing white missions will increase my chances of getting rare bps.

Missions dont alter rare drop chance much. But if you take certain bp missions, you might get another rare little more likely. For example, if you take bp mission aggrobomb (targets are detonators) game seems to make it that way that other bps what detonators might drop come more often. With aggrobomb mission you might drop from detonators taunt and aggrobeacon. So mission makes other than target bps more likely to come (rares too)...

Anyway dont take that as a 100% true fact. Its just my own speculation. But it feels like that to me, so many times i have got rares or wrong bps before target bp. ( I have done all wm from Vega to Sol)

But we must remember any bp drop is just matter of luck. They come always randomly...

missions increase chance of getting the stated blueprint. it never increases gold and pink blueprint chances.

i've found my rares (all Vega ships, Antares ship and most of rare devices, Gemini blaster) only by killing mantises without doing any missions, it took me less than 15 days of playing (my overall playing time is little above 15 days), and i was seeking rares on Vega when i had best stuff from Antares and i was seeking rares from Antares when i had best stuff from Gemini (yep u will find quicker rares when u have better weapon, because u r killing quicker, more killed mantises = more chances), and important is kind of mantis (info on wiki or hitchhackers...) and area (ask other players, or if u noticed that one player is shotting eg. to turrets on Vega very long time, check his history in his profile, if u find info that he found eg. Venom rockets recently u will know that this area is good for seeking Venom rockets)

Ok Rademenes, I got that from your previous help, but I think that the biggest problem in this game is that very often two bps are connected from one source (mantis unit). So eg. Rocket turrets can drop SCX Thunderstorm or Vega Rockets. That way you done your part, earn rare BP, and just when you are suppose to have it, they give you wrong rare. And then you wonder how computer decide which one to give you, I mean to steal from you.

It would be much easier if it can be one. Or, they can correct this and when someone collect 5/5 for some technology, not to drop any more of these, but instead drop other.

it is suggestion for devs, if they will do what u suggest they will have to ripe from game bp boosters (but if u ask me i get my goldies quicker without boosters)

u can always try to ask for help player with higher level, if u will seeking bp as a squad u and if he find gold that u need u will can pick up it - find yourself good clan or good friend and kill, kill, kill...

nobody gives u recipe, some players hate new bp system, for me is quite good

 

[Ghost division Kane]

What do you mean, "new" bp system? What the old one looked like?

if u wanted to find rares u had to find one part only (i've found that way Vega Droid in Dec 2010), we have some threads on the forum with complains about new system

 

[Ghost division Kane]

Of course there are complains, this sucks. I cant find one, I mean a SINGLE one Vega blaster part. And I know that I would need 5 of them. MAN!!! I killed nearly a 100 avengers all kinds of level. I am giving up. Why doing this, after all, that damn blaster is only 15% stronger than best blue.

 

[Rademenes]

maybe this map helps you (i hope that i've remembered these areas good, cos now i had a breake from game again):

Sentinels (Vega Collector) -> Sentinels (Vega Droid)

i've found rares quite quick on these areas, as i said some have problems to find them i had not and i don't shot mantises every day i kill eg. 50 and if i didn't find any part i return on eg. Mizar to do missions, after 2-4 missions i return on Aurora and again kill 50 mantises, next day the same etc., etc.

some say that pvp is not essential i could add that rares r not too (and they r only 15% better that best commons and eg. rare blaster is shoting slower that best common)

The only way to fix this is to degrease the number of needed BPs, so eg. from 5/5 to 3/3, from 7/7 to 4/4. I can only imagine what will be on other systems, there I have heard are some tech for which you need 9/9.

 

[Ghost division Kane]

There is also a few bugs on Aurora, and other Vega planets. First, white mission Defend the energy collector, when I finish it, it pop up again in my mission bulletin, even I cannot see it in Achivements/Missions/Vega Whites as not finished. It took me three times to finish it on Kalabesh, to finaly remove it from Missions panel.

Now the same thing happen with Harvesting mission on Aurora. I have a squad of three ships, we destroyed 10 Harvesters level 15, and regularly after each one destroyed, we got messages 15% finished, 25% finished, but at the end it says: "Go to orbit to collect prize", so we go to Orbit and we got this "Mission failed" . The same thing happend before when we took smaller Harvester mission, so we took it again, and second time there was no bug. Does that mean that in order to finish hard Harvester mission, we must collect squad and finish it again, without being paid for it?

I remember a gm told me, the drop rate of bp is decreased, if there is a sq with more then 1 player.

I for my got no clue ^^

Easy for you to say. Now I am see why so many players have full vega or other system arsenal. The only way to got those is before december 2010. So in other words, boosters are worthless.

i had only Vega Droid from old system, rest i got from new one (check my shipyard in my profile), go to Gemini and return on Aurora with aggrobomb on board, should be easier to collect bp

btw. i've checked your profile, u play only 8 days (kills: 6108), me 16 days (kills: 26091) so i think that u will have the same ships and bps like me when u will have 16 days of playing (u have to only kill, kill, kill)

 

[Ghost division Kane]

You cant say "only", because its game time, not real time. I am playing this game couple months now.

 

[Rademenes]

i play 10 months (with huge breakes 2-3 months, i think that i'm played 2-3 months in real time), if u will play without brakes 10 months u should be better than me

i know players that started with me and now have lvl 70-75, i know players that started 3-4 months after me and have now level 70-75 and Parsec ship and ofcourse 'milionare' achievement and planty of rare bps and rare ships, and i know players that started in June this year and they r in Draconis, i'm in Mizar since month or two

so c'mon future of galaxy is in your hands

 

[Rademenes]

if GM/MOD wrote to you in RED, u can punish him because 'RED is DEAD' ;p

Kane i agree with u that this rare bp system isn't perfect but rares bps r not essential to enjoy this game, if don't do pvp u don't need rares (even on CQ planets), if u do pvp outside CQ planets u don't have chance with player with common tech from next system

good luck in hunting mantises, if u will bored take a brake from game like me and return after 2-3 months

 

[Ghost division Kane]

I guess that is situation with cq planets, pretty cool though. Yeah, I gave up of rare BP strategy, just wanted to say something about it here, because we should be allowed to speak here freely, that is what forum is all about.
Yesterday was my greatest day in Pirate Galaxy, I made a squad with 4 good players and we did some missions together, that was awesome. Anyway, pirate mod is ok, maybe I ll try it, but not before I take Gemini ship. I am so close to it.

 

[Ghost division Kane]

Here we go again.
There is a problem with white missions Mission Bulletin.
I have a storm ship, that means I need only those white missions that offer upgrades for my ship, like blaster, rockets, aim computer,... but on my screen there are 6 of them (that means all) who are about other ship upgrades and something else.
How you should do this:
You should 1) make the whole list, like in "achivements white missions tab" so I can choose which one to do of eg. for Antares 118 of them, or
2) make list only for my ship, so if player buy eg. Shock, then in Mission Bulletin there will be white missions only for his ship, like eg. Stun tech or Speed Actuator.
Because of this problem players must go to Hichhiker guide or Wiki and see what Mantis are suppose to kill in order to get weapons they need.

So again, I am not just criticising, I am giving you a proposions for future solutions to make game more interesting.
