Make the meteorite side objective spawn when pod is called

[pulsar marsh]

My most hated side objective is the meteorite cuz from my experience, the games are shorter than the time the meteorite takes to spawn, so you just cant do it.
Plus, if you cant find the side objective in game, this would often mean you didnt look hard enough OR that you got bad rng and its meteorite and you have to wait for it, which us the worst part of this side imo.

So my suggestion is to make it so, when you call the pod and the meteorite hasn't landed yet, make it land and make it have less pieces in it so people can actually reasonably finish it (especially on t7 where mobs are constant and everywhere which makes meteorite even harder)

And just overall, i think its the hardest/longest side objective

hardest because in higher difficulties, you don't really have time to take all the pieces out and either a) move to the station with them in ur hands or b) try to throw it like ur a pro basketball player

and good luck trying to throw them while theres enemies around you cuz they can bump into the pieces

and good luck even more doing it while not host

so either make the meteorite have like 10 pieces, or make the reward better

i think having less (and so bigger) pieces is the better option because ive had moments where someone was throwing the pieces, but they overshoot and the piece flies off somewhere and we cant finish the side objective

so having bigger pieces would help

theres no downside to not finishing meteor, theres not a reward for finishing since you get your reward gradually.

u do get a reward from finishing, i think

u get materials and xp

and im not saying "doing it is too annoying but i dont wanna skip", im saying "having literally any other side objectives is just better in every way

having the meteorite is like rolling a 1 on a die

if you were to get any other side, you could finish it for pretty much free

while meteorite is too hard/time consuming in comparaison
