Topic: Assignment difficulty needs attention
When getting started, general drone killing and level one combat assignments are very balanced with entry skills and entry bots.
However
What is up with level 2 assignments?
You go to your first assault bot, have modest skills (2-3 weeks in) not committed to a group so you are going solo and you first combat assignment has:
3 ECM bots
Neuts and
they can slow you to a crawl?
With that you don't get jack all for drops and the reward for the assignment is very low in respect to the difficulty of the tasks.
Drop the EWAR on level 2 missions to random single at most ewar mods and get the rewards up. Level 2 assignments are not even worth risking your bot on.
With that you have travel from the secondary outposts way too far.
I was so frustrated to think I was striking out on my own away from the total Noob outpost only to see it was a total waste of time to do so and a DRASTIC drop on return per time spent. Very broken.
