Structure Raid - Feedback

[Oluja]

Hello all,

another feature, another feedback request.
Since Beta, players are now able to Raid structures.
I'm interested in your thoughts about this feature.
So few Questions for you guys:

1. Do you know what Structure Raids are?
   
2. Have you ever raided a Structure?
   
3. What did you get from raiding a Structure?
   
4. Were you satisfied with the reward?
   
5. Do you think raiding structures is worth your time?
   
6. Which structures did you raid so far?

[Trojan.Exploit.SSX]

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. I mention it depends on weeks they could hoard resources. Often raiding the same structure results in low reward. Waiting longer u get a higher reward. That's right?
4. Yes...
5. Yes...
6. Mines, gas-collectors, junk-reclaimers, orphiel founrdry, prisons... :-)

I think, I like raiding. ^^ I'm a real pirate. Only The prison raid I'm not satisfied. There is another thread I open because of this. All in all not need to change anything for me...

[mad_wolfy]

1. Yup
2. when I get the occasion, flyby a raidable structure
3. Increase in production for "transport", immediate ressources if trooper assault (If I remember correctly)
4. I get a bonus on top of whatever I loot from guarding ships : that's a win!
5. It is, probably more so if one mounts multiple targets raiding expedition
6. Mostly production facilities, prisons (to be honest I basicaly try transport/trooper on everything I come across, but since usually in middle of combat, I'm not always clear as to what I took from it...)

[Trojan.Exploit.SSX]

Maybe raiding orphiel foundry is a little bit overpowered. everytime i raid this structure i get up to 2000 material. with the periodical bonus from faction side quest (get also over 2000 material) it might be to much...

I tried again and it's wrong ^^ I think u gain the same reward everytime. I was confused by the yield information. So orphiel foundry is definitely overpowered I think.

I never used the transort order. I tried it out but there is no changes to the weekly income. :-/ but i remember that I read something about that in the forum...

Orphiel Foundry will indeed have lowered rewards when you raid it. We also agreed its a bit too strong atm.

I feel like a noob now after 172 gameplay hours in SGW, about 80 in Early Alpha...

1. Nope
2. Always tried to destroy them, so I have no clue what to do otherwise with them !?

This equals points 3 to 6

Thanks Oluja, will do.
In Germany we say "Man lernt nie aus" I try to translate it into English "We never learn out"

Lol ok just did my "first" raid ahaha. Did a prisoneer camp and got 1 Frigate, 1 Corvette and 2 Gunships.

Are the structure raids different from the mission board quests?

Are you planning to add smaller scale mission board quest to raid enemy structures?

I tried boarding a structure during one of the mission board quests to go assault something or other and it caused the mission to bug. The structure became unkillable and I had to fail the mission by leaving the area.

That experience deterred any further attempts on my part to board any structures. I think I saw a thread reporting that as a bug, though.

Structure Raids are different from Freelance Mission Quests.
We aren't planning on adding Freelance Missions to raid enemy structures.
Boarding a structure during Freelance Missions, should no longer be possible after todays quickfix.

Yeah it was a bug, and should be fixed already, if you downloaded the new version.

[Ruinous]

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Hard to tell tbh, I've had cargo a good few times for sure
4) I'm probably at the point where its negligable for me, though it would be rewarding if I was lower level
5) See 4 ;p
6) I've done several of every type except a prison, thats on my to-do list. For some reason I wasn't able to raid a gas collector (previous patch), I'll give that another go on this build to see if it was there is still any problem with that.

Sounds good. I'll give it a shot later. I might need to explore a bit more.

Is this geared towards boarding the random structures in enemy territory, like the junk reclaimers? I like that idea.

• Do you know what Structure Raids are?
  Yes.
  
• Have you ever raided a Structure?
  Yes.
  
• What did you get from raiding a Structure?
  Some materials, gas etc. Not much, but not everything should gives us tons of resources.
  
• Were you satisfied with the reward?
  Generally yes, except for the Prison one, that reward is pretty much useless (Considering that I got only t1 fleet ships from it).
  
• Do you think raiding structures is worth your time?
  Worth going around and raiding? Nah. Worth raiding when flying past them? Hell yeah. And that I like.
  
• Which structures did you raid so far?
  Prisons and ore/gas/material production buildings.
