| Summary | 0015822: Gains from "steal from Obscura" quests are absurd | ||||
| Description | For all I know this might be intentional, but the number is so high it SEEMS like a glitch. Doing things like stealing a medical marvel from those guys is resulting in an RCI gain of 500+ each time. The first one I did contained only one Razor and nothing else, and those are weak by themselves, so the reward is a bit... totally out of proportion to that. In case it is a glitch, I'm including a save file where 2 quests are up for grabs which are both of this type. | ||||

Immediately after doing 2 of those missions, a third one popped up for the Andors (which is who one of those two missions was for), but this time it's an RCI gain of just 5. So.... yeah. Dunno what's going on. |
|
|
It automatically ups the RCI to 500, so it'll only give enough to get back to 500. I noticed it even LOWERS the RCI if you get another quest when the race is over 500, and it also gives you negative influence when you reject the quest. So races get annoyed for not letting you lower their RCI. |
|
|
Okay, uh, ignore that bit up there about it only having one Razor in this mission type; since I'd been working on the Razor yesterday I kinda forgot to clear the population file after that ship was finished, so.... that particular thing wont be happening for anyone else. Boy, dont I feel a bit stupid after that one. |
|
|
The amount of RCI improvement to be gained might be okay if these quests did not spawn by the dozen :P. I played for one or two years of game time and "optimized" RCI stats multiple times during that short period of time. Might be a bit excessive :)... |
|
|
Ah, you're right, I am getting that as well. The quests coming WAY to commonly. Even once the RCI bug is fixed, that's still a problem. An RCI boost (AND influence! And credits!) is a pretty good reward, but I dont think it should be coming too often. And yeah, they're REALLY often. |
|
|
I think the true problem here is that the ships you have to destroy are from the race giving the quest rather than the far more deadly 'Obscura' ships. (I don't think it'd be absurd a reward for destroying 3 of their flagships on your own). |

Thanks! * The "Obscura Hideout" quests relating to RCI were buggy in terms of the results they were giving you. Forget how they worked before. They now: ** 1. Give you a maximum of +1000 to that RCI value, or whatever the difference is between the current RCI and -500 (so if the race is at -700, it will give them +200). ** 2. It will never give less than 50 RCI total. ** These also now require that the planet targets have a maximum RCI of -700, rather than -500, making these a tad more rare. |
|
|
Also: * The various RCI-related Obscura hideout quests are all now related to one another in terms of not popping up constantly. When one appears, the others will cool it for a while. Versus it being strictly by individual RCI value type. |
