Heavy Construction Operation Build

[MrDeity]

I have a mission that requires I bring 5 ships to Argon headquarters. One Colossus Vanguard, one Behemoth Vanguard, and 3 Cerberus Vanguard. Those 5 ships cost roughly 30,000,000 (30 million credits) in total. The reward for the mission is only 102 thousand credits....

Am I missing something or is this a rip off? Do I get to keep the 5 ships or are they basically asking me to spend 30 million credit for a 102 thousand credit reward??

This kind of mission is only lucrative when you are capable to Build and Equip the Ships with your own Resources on your own SHipyards and Wharfs.

Basically it is a Donation to raise your Reputation and aid the War Effort of the Mission Giving Faction.

(Yes, it is a rip off. But you may get rare Mod Parts and a remarkable Reputation Increase.)

Thanks for the reply! I would do the mission if it were some sort of story line chain, but I'll skip it if it's just reputation increase. I'm getting rapid reputation increases from my fleet off 50+ trade ships across the galaxy.

Can you tell me if there are any story line events or missions of any kind? I know it's a sandbox game but the X and X2 and X3 games all had chain missions with very interesting story line progression. If not, will there ever be in X4 Foundations?

Right now, no, there is no Story.

Only Faction X vs. Faction Y and so on Missions... and just a Sandbox.

Heavy opération build ARG vs Xen contain steps, reward step 1 is +42m now for a cost of 25/30m without your own docks.
Respect the build, dont put shield mk2 on ships when they ask mk1 or you will have to go back to the dock to change it.
If nothing happen once you in position with the fleet, just wait that someone call you, it can take 5mins.
Second step is to build a def station, reward is +50% of his price for a max of 3.6m credits.

as mynock said, not much of a single main plot line. However theres kind of a "plot" in terms of the game universe when it comes to faction vs faction. Even then, you're mostly just helping advance the agenda of a given faction instead of uncovering a grand plotline.

What is nice is some of the plot mission do have a "choices matter" element where backing one faction over another will change up the factions in play in the universe
