Ranger Missions
Can't believe I missed this in my first playthru but doing ranger mission board missions seems to generate a new mission from Diego that only posts for 500 credits but after doing it he will reward with about 9k and mentions keep it up.

Curious if anyone went down this rabbit hole to see if any other things pop up?

I got about 16k per mission from doing it. Seems to be about every fifth Ranger mission.

Nope. The "One Ranger One Riot" missions, repeating, are the final crumbs from the Rangers (though they are not linked to having done the questline, just a number of quests from the machine). Rewards seem to go up in jumps depending on your level.

What I missed on my first playthrough were the "rescue hostage" missions which accelerate companion affinity increases.

You had to complete the Freestar ranger quest line and get promoted to a full Ranger to use the terminal. You were given a one time use in the start.

Remember to free the hostage BEFORE talking to them, otherwise no affinity reward.

Actually, no. You can use the terminal as many times as you like. However, this is something I've done in NG+ so you could be right in the first playthrough.

I just wish the other ranger outposts had these terminals. Pain in the butt to keep going back to Rock all the time.

I could use it as much as I wanted in the first playthrough. I even got, and completed, the One Riot One Ranger mission as a deputy prior to finishing the Ranger questiline. The board was never restricted to me as a deputy.

Agree, I also wish the board unlocked as an outpost terminal

I tried after completing Deputized and it said I could not use it at this time or something.

It is just like the HopeTehc shipyard quests for materials does not seem to be an option until after as well.

Odd, you mean doing HopeTech delivery prior to the Ranger storyline? I made a couple complete deliveries prior to the Ranger line too

Yeah the deliver materials option was not there in the dialogue in my NG+
I figured it made sense with considering the Freestar plot.

Sounds like a bug to me. I picked it up the first time I visited HopeTech during the storyline, and completed it at least twice prior to finishing it and becoming a full Ranger. Could the cool down have been active when you went through the Unity and carried over somehow? Or maybe it's another thing that's weirdly dependent on going to the Lodge in NG+, kinda the Crimson Fleet questiline crime activation.

Yeah, I did a few of those. I'm a Ranger and I need to do my job on occasion. So I pick up missions. Why is this wrong?
