Game Mechanics

Destroy missions are missions that require a player to destroy an npc or creature lair in order to receive credit. Players may pick up destroy missions from the Destroy tab in Mission Terminals or from mission giving npcs.

When the player picks up the mission from the terminal or npc, they are given a waypoint to a random set of coordinates on the same planet that the mission giving npc or terminal is located on. The distance varies greatly and the min and max distance ranges are not exactly known, however it is based from the npc or terminal's location.

Analysis of Mission Details

There are a number of important bits of information to know about a mission which are viewable through the mission details on the mission terminal or on the mission itself in the player's datapad.

The parts of a Recon mission details are:

• Type
• Start
• Creator
• Reward
• Difficulty

Type

Note: This function was changed post pre-cu to give a short instruction as to what to do with the mission "Perform inside of the cantina". During precu, the type value was simply the tab on the entertainer terminal that it was obtained from: Dancer or Musician.

Start

This is the coordinate of th waypoint created to where the player must perform at inside of the structure.

Creator

The creator of the mission is randomly generated, unless its a mission giving npc then the mission takes the name of the npc that gave it.

Reward

This is the payout to the player in credits for successfully completing the mission. Reward is only given out if the player reaches within 32 meters of the target location. Mission payout reward formula is currently unknown but it is based on the distance to the spawn location. Shorter distances yield smaller payouts.

Difficulty

Note: Difficulty rating on missions seem to have no meaning for entertainer missions. It is a random number between 0-3.

Entertainer Mission STF Analysis

The following is an example taken from the mission_npc_dancer_neutral_easy.stf file for dancer missions. An overview for how to properly read and interpret the stf file will be included further below.

m10o

Tatooine Blues music is all the rage these days. Can't say that I care for it much myself, but I'm not paid to be a music critic. I need a musician that's familiar with some of these recent trends to play at the following coordinates. If you don't know any Tatooine Blues songs, don't worry - fake it like most of them do. I'll pay you when the gig is over. Perform for 10 minutes.

m10s

You never told me you could perform some Blaster Rays tunes. I gotta keep you in mind for some of my more "eclectic" patrons. Enjoy your credits, friend.

m10t

Play the Blues

Notes:

m10o -

This is the mission description displayed in mission terminals or on the mission if a player examines the mission. This is also given as npc dialogue when a player receives the mission from a mission giving npc.

m10s -

This response is not used in game, but was probably intended as a response given by a mission giving npc once the player finished that particular assignment and came back to it for another mission.

m10t - This is the mission title as seen on the terminal or on the mission details once the mission has been accepted by the player.
