Base building mission feedback
I just finished my first two asteroid base missions and I really like them. It's fun to build bases and see them come to life. It's also interesting to see the newly built base starting to trade with me and other ships to get the most important resources.

I had noticed two issues:

- After I released the second base I saw everything within the base like it still was mine. Fortunately, this way I could see people use the jukebox I built for them :) After I started a trade with that station, the view went back to normal („fog of war“).

- After I released the second base I got a mission from that base to get some item of interest from a derelict in the sector. I had already explored that derelict and the mission was instantly completed.



Other than that I wonder what a „well made“ base building mission looks like. In both missions, part of the reward was 1000 to 3000 credits, depending on how well I do in the mission. In both missions I only made 1000 (or slightly more).

- The comfort values weren't great, but not bad either. I think this should definitely be accounted for, but it didn't feel like that was the case.

- I completed both bases within half the time I had, so this didn't count either I guess. It should though imo.

- I even built some furniture, because I thought the crew would need that, but the AI wouldn't build it by itself ;) In the second mission I even built a jukebox!

- So, my guess is that the thing that matters is how much of the resources I use, that the faction provided to build the base. In the first mission I took everything onto my ship so there was nothing left. On my second mission I had left 5 hull blocks on the cargo ship and got a slightly higher reward, but I also left a lot of resources in the storage facility which should be accounted for too, I think.

Anyway, I think all these criteria should be taken into account when calculating the reward.
