Solution: Finding Random Planet Groups.

[The_Wildcard]

I stopped playing for a while and came back a couple weeks ago. It's extremely difficult to do a mission on a random planet now, no one really goes to them anymore. I've kept trying to unlock entire systems for extractors with not too great of luck because I need some help on some of the missions.

 

My Idea of a solution for this is something along the lines of a "Tenno Distress Beacon". When you select a mission planet you currently have two options "Yes" and "No". I recommend adding a third option. "Distress beacon". When you click this a menu to your invitory pops up and you select an item, for example Control Modules. Once you select the item your asked how many you would like to issue to your 'rescuers' (Limited to a max number depending on what it is of course). Your then asked to wait for other players. Then players would be able to search up your mission on a new tab next to syndicate missions. After the party is full or the leader decides to go you would play out the mission as per normal. Upon mission completion the resources you offered are taken from you and distrubuted evenly to the party.

 

This system could even be managed by a limit per day type of thing. For example you can only send out three distress beacons per day, and could only assist with distress beacons three times per day. You can pay plat to refill these limits.

 

This type of system will be a great asset in the future as the game gets bigger and less and less people are trying to do older missions like Limbo's Proof Fragments.

This would allow people to get around the limitation of "swapping" resources, if I'm reading it correctly. Never gonna happen that way.

 

I do agree on having some system to "flag" the fact that people want help running a particular mission, for when they don't have assistance from other friends.

People can "make their own quests" this way.  Sounds cool.  Also would help me in clearing out some of those pesky high tier missions that I can't solo...

 It would be kind of a resource swap, but if they can make it so no one on your friend list or in your clan can join a distress beacon you've created. They can also severly limit max resource or even take resources out completely from your options, make it mods and parts only, etc. There's a lot of flexability to this.

With resources people would just make more accounts to get around it.

 

There is no need to offer "bribes" to do missions. It should be enough to just make the fact that a mission is happening a lot easier to see then it is just now.
