Summary0009880: Too many nebulas, not enough missions
DescriptionHaving reached battleships with our champions for the first time, we were disappointed to discover that, despite the galaxy containing about 12 nebulas, once we finally fought our way to the last 3, they were completely empty. While I understand the need to have more than necessary for the champion 'campaign' to ensure you can reach them all, I feel that there really should be something in the remainder. Even if it's just duplicates of previous missions, or a simple swap like having the same numbers per team as a previous nebula but different factions.

Ideally I would say to also make more 'campaign' nebula scenarios to give it a bit of variety, but I guess that can wait for the expansion ;)

honestly after hitting the top tier nebula there shoudl be some "challenge" nebula to go further but with almost impossible objectives.

It used to be the other way, where duplicates would be seeded if all other missions have been completed. Oddly, people complained about that, so then they were made empty. I guess there is no pleasing everyone. ;)

Anyways, Keith has said he is planning on adding more types of nebula missions.

I could understand not wanting the duplicates if it really is identical, with journals and everything, because that doesn't really make thematic sense, but so long as the journals/factions were changed, I'd far rather that then blank areas. It's like raiding the AIs cookie jar just to find they replaced the cookies with vegetables.

But as I said, more types of missions would be ideal, I just didn't think they'd want to put in that amount of time/effort till next expansion, and semi-duplicates would be an acceptable short-term solution.

There is a command you can use to make them duplicate if you really want. If I recall, its in the "Cheats" section of the Wiki, and doesn't actually count as using a cheat.
