Yes it seems you have to keep mission active in order to work, I don't know if it stops a cycle, you can check whilst your are doing it if u are lucky enough to get 1 rare mineral in that cycle using 1 miner only.

I thought Devs were going to compensate for walking time in missions, I have not tried many so not sure about these changes.

Mission rewards should only be given when you're on an active mission of that type. If you choose to stockpile useless items during the mission then do be it.

Else you'd have to make them hand ins and instead of 5 it would need to be 15 or something like that.

But I do like the idea of items found while mining in certain areas that will increase standings.

Yeah, well that's explicitly why they did that. I mined up a couple dozen Liq mission items. They don't want the mission to be a bacon dispenser. I could just chain turn-in (4) in a row for 200k from about an hour's worth of mining, plus the actual value of the Liq I mined.

But, if they are actually taking up a cycle I'm going to be upset. Liq recycles into 24 units with my pitiful skill, while of course a single cycle would normally give me around 450. If it's a cycle of Liq + the item, then no complaints on increasing my yeild occasionally by 24 units.

Plz gibe free moni plos (by allowing us to stockpile and turn in)

Look put this way, if they allow to stockpile and turn in the mission items, its not a mission anymore. Might as well scrap the mission altogether and introduce npc buy orders for the required item at the same price.

I know, but you were paying me seven NIC last night, as I recall.  Then again, you did insist on getting back change.

It's so hard for a working Johnny to make a living around here.

Oh, 10 this time!  A little more of this and I'll be able to compete in the 50 NIC market.

I like where this is going.

I see a blob coming.
