Aunty SledgeDo we have any answers to the Smear Campaign Plans problem?


Yes, Zac told on last stream that data port loot mechanics and SCP drop rate will be adjusted with patch 5 which is next Thursday.

Rebecca HailThe what?

The Smear Campaign plans are data item required for unlocking Yarden Bond - last EDO engineer. Quite footsteps and audio masking are two unique mods hidden behind this data item.

I appreciate some larger fixes take longer, but loot tables? FDev just took a week off from fixes for no good reason. Simple quality of life changes would really keep the salt down. Sadly no.

On a related topic, If anyone needs Settlement Defence Plans, the trick is threat 3 Irregular Markers with the skimmer. It's a festival of log in/out, but it gets the job done.

Yeah, "loot tables" was my phrasing. What they said is that they will adjust what drops where and giving better chance for SCP to drop.

Is there any way to distinguish On Foot CZ from In Space CZ without needing to look at the system map for the yellow conflict icon? I would like to avoid wasting time flying to conflict systems I have not yet been to only to realize they are not on foot. I don't see that the galaxy map has anything to remedy that.

Is it possible to get progress for Mercenary ranks only in Conflict Zones and nowhere else? Just want to verify.

I think you get progression by killing any NPC however progression depends on the target levels and scavengers are usually 1-3.

In case anyone cares, it looks like the Exobiology rank of Exobiologist takes ~215.8 million credits as that what I have and I'm at 0% into it.

This new leg ranks and elite levels are BS. I wouldn't bother with them.

I don't think the Exobiology one is too terrible, but the Mercenary one is ridiculous.

I don't know... take a look at the #'s and I'm not Elite.

Seems about the same as Exploration rank levels. Anything Combat/Mercenary rank related is slowwwwwww progress by comparison I would say.

They should (not) make a Grind category. The closer you get to filling up the progress bar, the more progress bar you need to fill. But it never actually gets completely filled.

Yeah, nah mate. I'm already 2 Elite ranks in to explorer while doing this Exo BS. I don't think you appreciate how much work is involved. Almost 600 turn ins, x3 separated samples per + having to search and land. Exploration is WAY easier to do, and much more profitable. That said I'm sure the combat grind is on par or worse.
