    • Core Objectives


      What is so important about the core objectives? Do you get anything special for completeing them?

      ------------------

    • Not really. You've already gotten ships and technology available to you before you complete the objectives. You do however get boku credits for each mission leading up to completing the objectives, and you get access to special ships and technology along the way.

      ------------------
      One cannot walk down an avenue, converse with a friend, enter a building, browse beneath the sandstone arches of old towns without meeting with an instrument of time.

      Time is visible in all places.

      Clock towers, wristwatches, church bells divide years into months, months into days, days into hours, hours into seconds, each increment of time marching after the other in perfect succession. And beyond any particular clock, a vast scaffold of time, stretching across the universe, lays down the law of time equally for all.

      In this world, a second is a second is a second.

      Time moves forward with unwavering regularity.

      Time is an infinite ruler.

      Time is absolute.

    • So I have a related question - how many core objectives are there?

      I am aware of three - 1) Defend the UE from the Voinians, 2) Explore the nebulas and 3) Destabilise the strand war (working for any one of the strands)

      Are there any more out there? Or is it on to plug ins after that?

      That is the last of the COs. The plugs are an excellent next step. The ROTV plugs are my personal favorites.

    • the importance of them is the mentality that you have completed a main objective

    • Of course, when you finish them all, you feel like there's nothing more to do except collect money...that gets boring after a while. Of course, that's why you have plug-ins. But lots of players don't bother to look for plugs and just stop playing the game. You can always start over and start doing things a different way...join the Voinians and the renegades ;), fight for a different Strand, etc. But the game, although wide, is definitely limited. But that's why you can make plugs.

      I can't think of anything to write here.

      You can also defend the Voinians from the UE.

    • What happens when you complete all three? I've done it, but never in one pilot (I get bored and start over a lot).

    • You can also go around boasting about how you've done all the3 objectives, but you shouldn't because people will just laugh at you because loads of people have done it before you.

      It's not that hard to do it, I just have a short attention span, and get bored easily.

      Yeah, I have that same problem, especially when someone is talking to me.

      The third is the "destabilization of the Strand War". You can do it working for any of the Strands.
      They talk about it elsewhere in this topic too. You could have just scrolled down to look instead.
