PSA: Station building mission rewards

[a small rabbit]

The variable rewards for station mission building seem to be based on the resources left IN the cargo container when you release the station to whoever. As far as i can tell it appears to be a simple percentage calculation, and not the value of what is left inside.

The first couple station i built, i thought i was being helpful by moving everything in the cargo container into a storage for them, leaving them the unused resources, but only got the minimum 2 out of 15 rep for the rewards when completed.

This most recent try, i only unloaded what i used from the cargo container, had around 30% left from what was originally there, and got 6 out of 15 for rep.

I reloaded from before i handed it over and took the more valuable resources left (tech/energy blocks, energium, rods etc) leaving the more plentiful hull and infra blocks leftover and still got 5/15 rep.

Nice, thanks for the info. My first thought was to do exactly what you did, so from now on I won't!

Not sure about reputation but when I chosed money as a reward I got 4K (it showed me 1-3K when I signed up) after I unloaded cargo container completely and even stole leftover blocks before releasing the station.

The base rewards for station building missions are 3k credits and 5 rep, you can then choose an additional variable reward of either 1-3k credits or 2-15 rep.

You got the base rewards for credits and the minimum extra credits since you emptied the container. (TBF the blocks are worth more anyways)
