The idea with these is that you use what you learned as a player with out giving up XP. Said race has learned how to harness parts of your memories to help develop a bunch of artifacts each one helps a you as a player yet could slow your lvling.

Basic rules with XP based missions:

They can not lower your level, if you do not have the XP to use the mission as if you do not have the energy to use the mission. You cannot do it. This would deal with the lvl and rank problems.

They would be a daily if not just a repeatable mission for the most part. I am ok with a chain that uses this idea but hae a good bunch in the daily and repeatable groups of missions many would like.

Themes for such items:

Such items can be crystal based and as such need someones thoughts to help make them work right, In order to imprint the teck (which leads into a lower lvl mission anyway).

Bio tech as you are using some of what you are to help birth something, this is also a possable way to use this mission style.

What could it bring:

A few cosmetic + function changes.

Adding a glow that could cover all ships (either from a medal or from a part of the missions idea itself).

Modules and planet buildings while a tiny nit over powered or balanced over all.

Oddly a fountain of energy that people sometimes want. Giving up XP and energy to store it for later should be costly but kind of makes a tiny bit of sence with this type of mission.


If dan wants to message me or anything, if anyone wants to suggest missions, or if you want to help me even come up with a few chains for dan to get ideas from. Please PM or post here thanks.

i like the fountain of energy bit - but there should be a cost to setting up such an energy bank, increasing with the size of the bank.

musings:

- an upper limit to the fountain, based on rank
- 10% of the energy in the fountain is 'lost' at upkeep
- or it could be a 'make your own energy cube' - i remember seeing a topic about people wanting less than full nrg refills - maybe you could have an 'energy compressor' which costs 100x energy plus xts-9 to get an x-sized cube ?

Same problem as with all the threads asking for a anti neural and the like, and it wont ever happen for the same reasons.
