Busy day:

• *fixed* Fixed spawn NPCs on NV are still dropping the items for the old assignments.

• *fixed* Despawn timer for assignment NPCs might be too long now. - Set to 15 minutes, which is reset when you aggro them.

• *fixed* Mass-aborting assignments in a squad might be used for griefing. - Fixed by giving negative relations (for aborting) and bonuslevel decrease only to the assignment owner.

• Assignment bonuslevel increase is now also given for available squad members.

• Info for old assignments was not showing enclosed items.

• Increased the radius where assignment NPCs are triggered - it's now set to 300m. (However, this is not true for hidden triggers.)

• If NPCs despawn while the assignment is running, the assignment will be automatically aborted. (This currently throws an "unknown error" fyi.)

• Improved orange NPC aggro behavior, the whole group will now aggro when you attack one, but this still only works for same type NPCs (so mostly just in the case of fixed spawns). Still working on making this work for mixed groups too. UPDATE: see below.

• Fixed the label chaos on the map, now they appear based on zoom level.

• Added tooltips for the field terminal's 3 buttons.

• Added name tooltip and rightclick info for the item reward icons in the assignment success window, and also fixed the negative relation icon being clipped there.

• Added an "(Estimated)" label for the NIC reward in random assignment infos.

• Fixed the tint color of field terminals.

• Teleports on New Virginia have proper collision now.

Can you explain this in terms us simple folk can understand?

Good change. This should help prevent multi spawning for farming purposes.

My only other concern is squad missions, I would be very wary of how many tokens can enter the game. Is there any way of making mission rewards dynamic so that if one type in one place is used a lot comparatively it lowers the reward?

But I could complete some missions faster with multiple alts in a squad. The concern is that this could generate a comparatively high amount. By having the mission rewards auto balance you can prevent that.

If one type of mission in one location is getting significantly more action than others then that should devalue and redistribute that value to other locations. Just like that got girl who gets less attractive the more you bang her making her friends comparatively better looking.

kinda agree with jita here. those level 1 missions i have done, had really short distances and there was no repeat limit.

I could imagine someone coding a bot for three accounts, doing those lvl1 missions all day long on three islands (the difficulty increase for 3 agent-squad is manageable for a single mk2 assault.
(if you ask why three? to keep the relation level for all three factions at lvl1 for all three agents)

btw, with negative relation settings back, i think we need some mechanics in place to recover from highly negative standings without beeing forced to "leech" in squad or run lvl0 missions forever. (eg. tedious or hard missions with higher reputation gain/loss for agents with negative rep)

oh, and not to forget... you should also make negative standings have some consequences aside from availiable missions, for combat-only agents. (eg. taxes and market limits for infinite offers). But this could be thought off after the mission system works.

After testing the new mission system I can say I am very pleased.

Good work!

I strongly dislike the 5 assignment limit per terminal, that it going to make for a lot more running around to grab all your loot. 

Anyone notice that one terminal seems to have easier assignments then the other continuously?  It could be just be my luck.

* Lock status icons on the landmarks window are overlapped by objective icons. Can't tell anymore if target is locked or not. Here's a comparison: http://i.imgur.com/Y69F2A7.png

* Transport mission objectives are all displayed at once. Wasn't like that when I last tested them. http://i.imgur.com/14YZIxu.png

+1 for Jitas suggestion. It should be encouraged to run all field terminals, not just the ones with best terrain or closest objective locations.

NPC, under the terrain, that happened 2 times to me but not very often.

So I also cant finish the mission, bacuse I cant shoot back. It still shoot under the "hood".

Also given the amount of historical token dodgyness can we have a multiplier on future token rewards and costs to make current stockpiles worth less and future PVE worth doing. Maybe increase all token costs and rewards by a factor of ten - twenty.

Yes, we'll consider this before putting in the new items.
