Bounty reward rework

[sharp kestrel]

Okay so you know how you can go to the decommissioned station that once held commies. (forgot the name)
And know the bounty station there only gives you like 60k 100k for a S4 mech?

Well I think we should make them give more than just money.
They should give you items actual physical rewards and not just faux gain.

The better the bounty the better the items.
They should also come in many different crates so you can have many different kind from many different companies' and faction's and so players don't have to walk in the dark to decide if they want nondescript crate or grey crate.

(So essentially in short making a mech and selling it gives you crates)

down with expedslop, sell to players

This is unrelated to expeditions

They’re talking about Camelot bounties

Expeditions should stop giving money but instead have guaranteed vaults with actually good loot. Move away from economical rewards for most gameplay loops.

As for this suggestion specifically, I don’t think different crates matter. Put them all in USSP crate to reflect their origin.

So do what frontier does? Instead of getting payouts for expeditions instead you can find cash piles, lots of materials, and weapons with special modifiers that are way stronger than their ordinary counterparts.

[opaque junco]

that would be ideal, although the main issue is people ignoring objectives. This would have to be a different suggestion, but my initial thought is to have consequences for failing to complete the objective; If you don't, then a powerful ghostrole enemy of the expedition type will assault your ship directly from inside or something similar

He's confused 😕

[foggy heron]

I think incentive is probably the better approach, a form of reward for doing objectives, like how you can pry diamonds from carp statues, dragons have ichor and lungs, humanoid boss enemies have loot bags...

[opaque junco]

yes... but imagine the effort they would put in if failure meant a ghostrole syndicate operative spawning in your vent network

anyways this is offtopic for this thread

As for the actual suggestion here, I think bounties is a better way to have people get USSP gear instead of just being able to buy it.

[opaque junco]

also scrapping the USSP tech tree because it is semi-obscure and just weird

make bounties the new USSP progression system. Could make players get progressively better rewards for completing more bounties

Ah, I see, carry on then
