I finished stage II but before continuing to spend arkoin, I would like to know what the purpose of this mission is. Those who are more advanced in the mission or have completed it to contribute their knowledge. Sorry for my evil english Thank you.
On the island you will get 2 hours to kill the 100 oratan. Easy. But, you only need 20-30 minutes depending on your dps. What I suggest you do, is combine it with Jori hunting, in the waters around the island there are Jori stalkers mostly, and it is a great 'untaxed' place to hunt them.
As you progress you get access to a terminal that upgrades some (L) weapons, later you get a free dropship, and also get skill for doing the daily. none has as yet finished the whole chain. PS: its Oratan Payback, not Secret camp.
When you get the rank of Lieutenant upon completing mission 60 of stage IX of the Oratan Punisher series.
Just achieved Lieutenant rank in the Oratan Prospector Mission series. I got my dropship and I notice that it's not full tt. Rather, it's 5.0% value condition, 2.1% usable. Is that how it is? You get a near- broke dropship, or is there something else that I have yet to do? If I have to finish the entire series to get a ship that's 100%, how many more levels do I have to do?
I didn't know how to retract this message, so I'll confess that, even after 10 years or so in the game, it never occurred to me to try to drop a vehicle in the repair terminal. The vehicle comes in less than 100% condition. Maybe mine was used, I don't know. Anyway, I repaired it with my rk-5 and the no longer needs repair message showed up. But on the item info window it showed to be only 5.0 and 2.1 condition as I mentioned above. I went over to my brother's house for dinner and to show off the ship. I also started grousing about how I apparently was issued a crappy, used dropship. I speculated that maybe it was supposed to be an incentive to finish the mission and get the real deal. He just looked at me and asked why I didn't just drop the ship in the repair terminal. I did, it worked, and he gave me a well-deserved dope slap. I'd never done that with a vehicle, only used the repair tool. The difference is that this vehicle, unlike all my others, is unlimited. Makes all the differences in the world. Old dogs can learn "new" tricks. Listen and learn, padawans.
The dropship is unlimited but you get it at low TT val, so it needs repair for TT value via repair terminal and then for SI via RK-5 or RK-20.
tyvm It is normal, or typical that MA rewards do not include TT value. It is the MU that is the reward usually, not the TT
Markup has nothing to do with MA's calculations, since it's purely the value players assign to something for the purpose of trading among themselves. It is irrelevant in this case, since the dropship is not tradable. Its TT value is a credit on your account with MA and hence a liability to them. They will want to keep it in check when handing out gifts or token prizes just as this. You already get the skills bonus for doing the mission. The vehicle is just the icing on the cake.
