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. The missions made available to the player depend on what planet the player is on as the planet dictates which mob type is selected. Mob types are essentially categories of particular groupings of creatures and npcs that can spawn at a mission lair. Creature type groupings are linked to the highest challenge level available to a mob within that group. Each mission terminal has its own allocation of creature types appropriate for it (possibly also linked to region lists). Once a creature type is selected then the mission will appear on the mission list and the player may acquire it. Players can influence the creature types available on a mission terminal through their own individual or their group's challenge level. If a player or their group's challenge level matches or surpasses the challenge level of the creature type available on the terminal then that creature type will be eligible to enter the pool of missions that the player can choose from. 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. When the mission is accepted, a spawner object is placed into the world and it's position is updated. See Managing Missions for waypoint update behaviors. Once the updated waypoint has been received, the spawner object is placed at that location and when the player comes within the appropriate range the mobs are created into the game world (See Spawner Objects for information about spawn handling). To see more information about mission lairs see (Lairs Once the lair has been has been destroyed the player then receives their reward if they are within range. Note: For all missions, players receieve an amount of experience from the destruction of a lair based on the highest challenge level from the mob at that lair as well as the amount of damage that the player themself contribute to the destruction of the lair. Note: For faction missions players receive a certain amount of faction points for destroying the lair itself as a reward. The amount of faction rewarded is based on the highest challenge level of npc that was at the lair and the amount of damage that the player themself did to the lair to contribute to its destruction.

The parts of a Destroy 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.
