Just seems like a waste of content. Why create i if a portion of the player base wont even bother with it.

i scanned 100 planets and got 8 hyperluminal readings

Already scanned?
Low aph?
There's a already a built in answer.
Stellar cartography. Suck it up and burn a few energy cubes.

Noooo, everything new and/or limited must be easy and readily accessible, and if it's a planet structure it better have a higher than 1:1 arti production and/or cloak %, or we'll raise hell! Or at least express our perpetual ennui, and then probably get them anyway.

a few eergy cubes?

how many specific gas of those two types do you think a few cubes will get most people? Not to mention they need the em to do it.

Like others, I already did 'the big scan' before this came out. I still managed to salvage 15 lum. items tonight by 'rebufing' and clearing but, kind of sucky for those who just did a big scan.

As far as the item, i think it's nifty. I like having more items that make arti AND provide cloak. I can't get enough for planets to not have to have any % items or big space cloak modules on my planets. Heck, I'd trake an item like this every seasonal.

eh, I was at the tail end of a big scan run when the event started, had burned all my purgers earlier preparing for it.. did manage to get enough to do 1 completion

Scan just last week so i still had 800/1100 planets still on scan, Made 100 purgers and switched to explore to scan, went up to 1300 planets scanned and found about 45 Hyperluminal Readings. So if your a player who doesn't buy GP then this mission is still doable. Just need more purgers.

I am not asking for easy things. I am asking for things I am actually interested in doing. Am i interested in wasting experience on purger mission when that experience can be used for getting terraformers? No I am not. This content is wasted on me and hence my #$&*@ about it.

So if you're not interested what's your problem, just keep searching for terraformers and let those who want to do the mission do it.

Why create content that is useless to a portion of the population?

Dark Mass Carriers are useless to me, but there they are for the 2200+ crowd.

Because it is useful to another portion. New badge items are useless to NPCers. Legion missions are useless to anyone below rank 100. Just because it's useless to you doesn't mean someone else doesn't value it.

That does not answer my question as to why did the developer used his time on creating something a lot of people will ignore.

Because a lot of people won't ignore it. In my legion with an average rank of 357 plenty of people are doing the mission and I've heard no one mention explicitly that they won't be bothering. To me it seems you've decided you don't want to put the effort into getting this reward so you've come to the forum to whine about it.

People in a legion of average rank of 357 are doing themselves a disservice by wasting experience on this mission instead of NPCing.

I put more effort into my ship than most, effort is not an issue. Rewards that do not match the cost are.

Thankfully the nature of this game allows us the liberty to choose what we deem worth it or not. As for effort for reward. Scanning is a basic function of the game, that's all you have to do is scan and then spend 500 energy 1/2 times a day on the mission. If you still don't find it worth it THEN FOR GOD'S SAKE DON'T DO IT!!!!!

Some players scan 1 or more times every week. Making new purgers just for a 1:1 structure is not worthwhile. Not everyone is rank 350 with low production.

What...I...what's your point? You say some players scan regularly well isn't that a plus in favour of this mission. Then you say making purgers isn't worth it, well then DON'T DO IT and stop complaining, besides if you're scanning more than once a week anyway then surely it's no extra effort? As for rank 350s with low production, surely if they can do it you can?
