Mission's?

Jared

I have an idea however not sure if it will work
So you would first make your own tutorial window that pops up when you enter into a system. you will be required to find a local friendly station to request a mission (you can only request one if there are hostile ships in the area) upon killing all hostile ships you would then go back to the station to hand in your mission (the station would be able to know if there were hostile ships in the area by essentually having a gun will a large radius however wont fire obviously) when you hand in your mission it would work the same way Cosmosides minning system would work, however i guess you would either need special weapons to do damage and act simaller to the mining beams, or have a room that generates points overtime (it will shoot invisible bullets that can go over the ship, and would act like the mining beam in Cosmoside)

Possible systems that would be required:
Mission reporting room: This will be what you need to get missions and send missions

Station Mission Request room: will look for enemy ships in the area, if theirs enemy ships it will have a mission ready, if all are dead it will be waiting to receive the message

Bounty collection room: This will store your bounty's and act like the storage system in Cosmoside

Jared I don't think that is possible in a mod.txt, at least, a ship giving you a quest. And I don't think you can have a mission world spawn in as the world's come pre loaded, but, I'll look into it.

...

Brainstorming RN I might have thought of something but IDK how intuitive it will be and it will make the world map very cluttered...

You can have a ship-part that will "accept" quests.

And a ship that will offer one of those quests.

Basically it will just shoot a special, invisible ammo that will activate the mission room that warps you to a set world when you click accept.

And you have a bunch of identical ships that shoot a random quest. When you complete the quest you are warped back.

I agree with Lafiel the difficulty to add such a system just does not justify the result. Jared I don't know if you have looked at code in Galaxy in Flames or CosmoSide (both have mining and in both its messy and cluttered) but adding mining is an immense pain. ~~I actually added crafting both to expand the concept and justify that mess I went through to add it.~~

So making a system that me or Namek have described would be an immense chore and the result would be neither what you envisioned or satisfying. However maybe you can come up with a better system that better replicates what you are seeking, and I hope you do because I really like the idea. ~~which is why I have the side quest worlds in GiF~~

Well, I had the same conclusion, but I have a better idea.

Lets say, that your starter ship will be a giant station, wich you decouple off, and it cannot move, and has all the quests already there.

Like; 'Kill a specific ship.'

When searching, finding and killing it, it will give you, as you described, a special recource, wich you then feed back to your home station, and perhaps in return you get something (havent gotten that far.)

But the quests are mostly kill ship(s), or even perhaps find a specific recourse? I think I already know how to do a rescue quest, but that would have its own bounty hunter dificulty, thus making it incompetible with other BH mods wich adds difficulties :/.

The system hasn't really changed much since about two years ago except or BH allowing mods now. All you can do will revolve around ammo=resources that you can "mine"/generate and exchange. You can also generate money (see discord #modding scroll back 1+ year). In the past we used to make savegame mission but with the way how they easily get incompatible that's not an option or for complex missions. With them you can setup routes and time appearances before. But with the current restricted area size that's also very restricted now. Right now It's not worth the effort but you can try.
