How about having the weeklyish missions scale in regards to level,its really hard for lower ranked players to finish them in time for example The Grid Crisis 9,000 energy= 4 completions 21 energy/hour=about 17 days to complete
Now you might think "oh you dont have to do it" but what if you wanted to you couldn't completely finish it anyway because of the energy requirements unless you level up quite abit then it might be possible but still almost all your energy would be spent on doing it ...

It's already scaled some, by making the energy/round low and the rounds/completion high. Most levels that require that much energy to complete couldn't be done by low ranks at all, because each round might take more energy than they have. I don't think it needs to be scaled; I remember I couldn't finish many of the Prejor missions way back when, but it just gave me something to work toward.

Also remember that you will get a lot of energy from leveling up. So while it might take you 17 days to complete it, with leveling up (and if you get any energy cubes/tri-emblems), it will probably take a lot less than that.
Even at 120 energy/hour, it says it will take 75 hours however, due to a nice level up, it took me less than 2 (and I didn't even need any energy boost).

Odragon what's the maximum amount of energy you can have? I'm at a rate of 120/hr and max energy at 1968. What is your max? Did you do the "Proxy-Universe Reactions" research?

My max energy is more than 3k. Almost all of my rank points go to engineers at the moment. Ship-bots, Parts Vaults, Daily Rewards are where the majority of my decks come from at the moment. No, I can't install everything but I have most of the stuff I want installed. Upgrades now tend to be upgrading now which doesn't take that many decks. I can level about once every 24 hours (depending on mission/NPCs). I could probably do it faster if I fought more NPCs but I am actively working on missions as I want some of their rewards.

i dont really see what you guys are talking about. the only mission i have not been able to complete is the second stryll mission with the buildings. other than that, i leveled so quickly i was able to complete every weekly mission up until my research in relays and energy caught up to where i can do it in 2 days. If youre not completing the weekly mission, then there must be something wrong. Make sure you utilize all your available resources, like RSL implants and neural interfaces when youre first leveling, and only ONLY spend energy in the weekly mission until its done. ive cut it close, i only had 2 hours left on the thoughts revealed mission, but then again i was only rank 30. research energy and relays as a priority, and remember npc battles from missions dont disappear, so you can have all 4 of them on your tab at once, complete the missions, and then kill em if you have extra energy before the next one starts.

Don't the weekly missions eventually become permanent missions? So you could wait to finish until it becomes a permanent mission.

the zolazin, perjor, and stryll/genetaar were all weekly missions. when the saga ends theyre placed at the bottom of your missions list. The octafari saga is not over yet, so the missions are not available yet.

I'll have to think about it. at the moment I have 61 rank points built up. On vacation so not playing regularly. You have given me allot to think about. Although I'm researching faster than Dan is adding things to research so if not now soon I'll have plenty of rank points for engineers. At the moment I need some more goodies for some very rare NPC's in order to even put a dent in them and get the 10th or 12th spot. Those NPC's drop some great goodies.

At the moment, I need to upgrade 3 modules and I then I am all caught up on NPCs mods (total, 11 deck space which I already have). I'll need a little more for another dominion cannon and Quad-decryption frame soon but I will happily trade out a Zolizan jammer for that. This seems to work well for me, it might not work for you guess you have to try and see!
