Dancer is all for Safecracker for fairly obvious reasons.  Let me at those Death Commandos.

Going to steal the treasury yourself?

Seems like its either Waterfall or Safecracker. Interesting.

FYI, I'm gone from my computer until Saturday, so nothing will get updated in that interim.  Discuss away.

[Timberwolfd]

One concern I have with SAFECRACKER is the potential for not enough missions for everyone to play. It is not out of the realm of possibility that we get a single meaningful mission for a security contract. I doubt a planetary assault would resolve in less than 3 fights.

[Timberwolfd]

I will resolve the contract wait decision on Saturday morning to give everyone a chance to chime in. If we wait this time, we WILL take an August contract.

[deadlyfire2345]

Dragon does not need admin anymore and may be reassigned to another lance in August or when we deploy.
Phone is hard to type on when playing game.

For Cadre missions, what skills will be checked usually?

[ItsTehPope]

I'm not in a position to comment on contracts right now.

[deadlyfire2345]

Just need an XL for my cicada and my customization will be complete. Need the money though :/.

For Cadre missions, what skills will be checked usually?

Multiple. Any tracked skill could come up. Apparently Career: Soldier and Leadership are common, but you might be showing the FNGs how to shoot Small Arms, or Negotiating with the locals regarding the giant foot prints on their town's street, etc.

[deadlyfire2345]

Even with Fast learning at 2, I am still looking at 10+ XP just to get any and all of the skills up by just 1. I have only been in 3 missions so far so not much. Cadre missions would hurt. I was going to work on scrounge and negotiation next anyway to work on my buying and selling.

From my perspective at this point, there's no slam dunk, easy choice.  I can do WATERFALL, SAFECRACKER or wait until August.  My priority at this point is getting my lance on missions.  I only played one through my first contract.  Completely understandable as to why, but after the annual birthdays, my PC is sitting at 2 XP earned and my most experienced pilot has earned 6.

With Paul, Logan and Dan there are several of us in similar boats.  What kinds of contracts are likely to give us more missions per time?  Not sure that it happens as I know Rob rolls on a per week basis for it.  Just thought I'd ask.

[deadlyfire2345]

That last contract went by too fast for 100% salvage. One mission for at least each of the 9 lances plus the solos for those who had them.

Mission won't last more than 6 battles overall, as thats half a year real life time.  It really depends on your role and the mission type for how many missions you get selected for.  I had the worst luck, loosing at least a mech and pilot in all my missions except for this last mission.  I know that some of the lances get chosen more often for reinforcement, and that is the biggest factor in how quick you gain xp.  Sometimes its good to be lucky, and hunt simple things that are easiler to kill (hitting vees from the side and rolling a lot of 8s can quickly kill a vee).
